Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction for killing his wife and son was overturned by South Carolina's Supreme Court after a clerk allegedly pressured jurors, forcing a shocking retrial. The prominent attorney faced mounting financial crimes exposure when his wife Maggie and son Paul were shot dead in 2021, launching one of the decade's most sensational cases. Alec Murdaugh initially lied to police about being at the dog kennels the night of the murders, claiming he was napping at home, but a video placing him at the scene at 8:44 PM became crucial prosecution evidence undermining his alibi.
