Alex Murdaugh's double murder conviction has been... OVERTURNED. In 2021, the prominent South Carolina attorney shocked the nation when, on the brink of facing financial crimes for stealing millions from clients, he allegedly murdered his wife Maggie and youngest son Paul. Prosecutors argued Alex's motive was to use the murder of his wife and son as an opportunity to distract from his financial crimes, as he would play up the victim angle... However, it was later ruled that HE was the killer.
