Crime scene confusion still rampant as Murdaugh asks judge to toss murder charges

Alex Murdaugh is asking a South Carolina judge to dismiss the charges that he murdered his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, arguing that incorrect statements by the lead investigator misled the grand jury. The motion comes ahead of a retrial scheduled for April, ordered after the state Supreme Court found prejudicial comments had affected his 2023 trial, where he was convicted. Newly released records also describe investigators’ confusion over evidence at the crime scene.
