The South Carolina Supreme Court overturned the double murder convictions against disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh, ordering a new trial in the killing of his wife and son.

“We are accordingly constrained to reverse the post-trial court’s denial of Murdaugh’s motion and remand for a new trial consistent with this opinion,” the court wrote in part.

Murdaugh was convicted two years ago in the June 2021 slaying of his wife, Maggie, and their 22-year-old son, Paul, in a trial that drew national attention.
