Alex Murdaugh returns to court as his murder retrial moves one step closer. STS brings you live coverage and expert legal analysis of today's hearing, what happened in court, and what it means for the future of the case. Murdaugh was convicted in 2023 of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, and sentenced to life in prison. The South Carolina Supreme Court later overturned those convictions, ruling that jury tampering by the former court clerk denied him a fair trial, paving the way for a new murder trial. #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #SouthCarolina #STS Subscribe, Like & Set Alerts to "ALL" for show times & breaking news. https://www.youtube.com/@SurvivingTheSurvivor?sub_confirmation=1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-yriE5bY713MoWJOrK5GvA/join Thanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation!
