Breaking: Alex Murdaugh’s double murder convictions overturned
In a unanimous and stunning decision delivered Wednesday, May 13, 2026, the South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned the double murder convictions and life sentences of disgraced former attorney Alex Murdaugh. The state's highest court has vacated the March 2023 guilty verdicts for the June 2021 shooting deaths of Murdaugh's wife, Maggie, and his 22-year-old son, Paul, at their family estate in Colleton County. The ruling remands the case back to the circuit court, effectively clearing the path for a new trial.
