La Cour suprême de Caroline du Sud a annulé les condamnations d'Alex Murdaugh pour les meurtres de sa femme et de son fils, lui accordant un nouveau procès en raison d'irrégularités lors de la procédure initiale.

Le 13 mai 2026, la Cour suprême de Caroline du Sud a annulé les condamnations pour double meurtre prononcées en 2023 à l'encontre d'Alex Murdaugh et a ordonné un nouveau procès. La Cour a statué que Murdaugh avait été privé de son droit à un procès équitable, notamment en ce qui concerne l'impartialité du jury, en raison des agissements de la greffière du tribunal de comté, Rebecca Hill.
