Alex Murdaugh's second murder trial in the deaths of his wife and son is now scheduled for April of 2027.  His 2023 convictions were overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court which ruled  former Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca “Becky” Hill improperly influenced the jury.  Murdaugh remains incarcerated  for 22 state financial crimes and 14 federal charges serving both sentences concurrently, unaffected by the murder retrial.  

 A status hearing is set for August for Judge Debra McCaslin  to decide pending motions on a change of venue and allowing independent DNA testing of samples from under Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails, among others.
