Executive Briefing
According to reporting by CBS News US National, Alex Murdaugh's attorneys are going back to court, this time trying to get his original murder indictments dismissed.
Detailed Factual Report
Attorneys for Alex Murdaugh are expected in court Friday to ask a judge to throw out the original murder indictments for killing his wife and son, alleging the chief investigator in the case lied to the grand jury.
Murdaugh is facing a retrial on the murder charges after the South Carolina Supreme Court threw out his convictions and life sentence, ruling that a court clerk improperly influenced jurors against him during his 2023 trial .
Even if the longshot request to dismiss the indictments is granted by Judge Debra McCaslin at Friday's pretrial hearing, it may not stop or even postpone an April retrial for the disgraced lawyer. Prosecutors can seek another set of grand jury indictments as soon as next month, and defense attorneys said they won't stop them.
But a ruling for Murdaugh would be another rebuke of the chief investigator, State Law Enforcement Division agent David Owen.
