Murdaugh defense seeks dismissal of murder charges over evidence handling

Alex Murdaugh's attorneys are asking a judge to dismiss murder indictments, alleging investigators mishandled evidence and misled a grand jury.

Alex Murdaugh's attorneys are asking a judge to dismiss the murder indictments against him, alleging investigators mishandled evidence, misled a grand jury and improperly used the State Grand Jury to build the case. The defense's latest filing focuses on a white T-shirt Murdaugh wore the night his wife Maggie and son Paul were killed in 2021. His attorneys say testing of samples from the shirt did not detect human blood, but disputed blood-spatter evidence was presented to the grand jury. They allege investigators pressured an outside expert to change his initial opinion and that chemical testing altered the garment. Judge Debra McCaslin has not ruled on the dismissal request.
