The Wheels of Justice Turn Slowly: A New Trial for Alex Murdaugh The South Carolina Supreme Court's decision to grant a new murder trial to Alex Murdaugh has sent shockwaves through the small town of Islandton, where the double homicide took place in June 2021.
Murdaugh was convicted on two counts of murder and one count of possession of a firearm during a violent crime.
The evidence against him was overwhelming at the time of his conviction, but it appears that some irregularities have been raised by his lawyers through numerous appeals since then.
