Murdaugh appeals murder conviction amid jury tampering claims, faces ongoing financial crime trials
- Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife and son but his defense team has requested a new trial, alleging jury tampering.
- Murdaugh appeared in court to face charges of stealing millions from clients; his associate Cory Fleming was just sentenced for assisting in the thefts.
- Allegations against the clerk who potentially dismissed a pro-Murdaugh juror are disputed; prosecutors say the defense's motion was procedurally flawed.
- Murdaugh faces over 100 state charges and will plead guilty to federal charges; his state trial starts November 27th.
- Suspicious deaths related to Murdaugh's family and ties to drug trafficking have drawn increased scrutiny during the proceedings.
