Alex Murdaugh murder convictions overturned by South Carolina Supreme Court, new trial ordered

May 13, 2026 / 11:40 AM EDT / CBS News

By Mark Osborne

The murder convictions and consecutive life sentences for Alex Murdaugh, a prominent South County attorney who was found guilty of killing his wife and son, were overturned on Wednesday by the state’s supreme court.

Murdaugh was convicted in March 2023 for killing his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, at the family’s estate in 2021.

He will be given a new trial.

Murdaugh also pleaded guilty to a series of financial crimes in September 2023 and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Lawyers for Murdaugh pushed for a new trial based on “improper” conduct by the county clerk, Becky Hill, who later wrote a book about her time working on the trial.

The Supreme Court, which ruled 5-0 in favor of Murdaugh’s appeal, said the jury’s “efforts were in vain because Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill placed her fingers on the scales of justice, thereby denying Murdaugh his right to a fair trial by an impartial jury.”

The defense claimed Hill tampered with the jury by advising it not to believe Murdaugh’s testimony, pressuring them to reach a quick guilty verdict, and misrepresenting information presented during the trial.

An appeals court rejected Murdaugh’s ask for a new trial in January 2024, but the Supreme Court reversed the decision on Wednesday.

“Our justice system provides—indeed demands—that every person is entitled to a fair trial, which includes an impartial jury untainted by external forces bent on influencing the jury toward a biased verdict,” the court wrote in its opinion. “Although we are aware of the time, money, and effort expended for this lengthy trial, we have no choice but to reverse the denial of Murdaugh’s motion for a new trial due to Hill’s improper external influences on the jury and remand for a new trial.”

One juror who testified during the appeals trial in 2024 said, that “when the jury began deliberations, Hill told the jury, ‘[T]his shouldn’t take us long,’” according to the court’s decision Wednesday.

The juror wrote, in her sworn affidavit for that appeals trial, “I had questions about Mr. Murdaugh’s guilt but voted guilty because I felt pressured by the other jurors,” according to court documents.

Another juror testified that Hill told them, on the day Murdaugh testified, it was “an epic day.” Though, that juror said it did not affect their eventual decision to find him guilty. A third juror testified Hill told him to “watch his body language” on the day Murdaugh testified, something he said also did not later influence his verdict.

Murdaugh had initially claimed he wasn’t at the family’s 48-acre hunting estate in Islandton, South Carolina, on the night his wife and his younger son, Paul, then-22 years old, were killed. However, during the trial, it emerged that Alex Murdaugh’s voice could be heard on a cellphone video recorded by Paul shortly before the killings at the property’s kennels on June 7, 2021.

He admitted during testimony he lied to police about being there and said he did so because his heavy use of drugs caused him to be paranoid and distrust investigators.

“I’m not quite sure how I let myself get where I got. I battled that addiction for so many years. I was spending so much money on pills,” Murdaugh said during the trial, though he adamantly rejected that he was involved in the murders.

The South Carolina Supreme Court also expressed dissatisfaction with the inclusion of extensive information about Murdaugh’s financial crimes in the double murder trial.

The court wrote, “we unanimously hold the trial court allowed the State to go far too long and far too deep into aspects of Murdaugh’s financial crimes that were not probative of the State’s theory of motive, which gave rise to considerable danger of unfair prejudice, and therefore should have been excluded.”

俄罗斯重申结束俄乌冲突强硬立场

（莫斯科／基辅综合电）在俄罗斯总统普京宣称俄乌战争即将结束不到一周后，克里姆林宫重申了结束战争的强硬立场，表明除非乌克兰从东部顿巴斯地区撤军，否则不会与乌克兰达成停火协议或进行全面和谈。

普京上周六（5月9日）宣称这场持续四年多的冲突“即将结束”，但未详细说明。

美国总统特朗普周二（12日）启程前往中国进行国事访问前也告诉记者：“我认为乌克兰战争结束，真的指日可待了。”但他同样没有详细说明。

克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫周二被要求针对普京的讲话作出说明时说，俄乌和美国已就结束战争开展了一定程度的三方合作。

他说：“和平进程中积累的这些基础工作使我们能够说，和平进程确实即将结束。”但他也说，目前很难提供具体细节。

但佩斯科夫在次日的线上记者会上又重申俄罗斯的强硬立场。他说：“为了实现停火并开启全面和平谈判的窗口……（乌克兰）泽连斯基总统必须下令乌军停火并撤出顿巴斯地区。”

俄军目前占领乌克兰约五分之一的领土，包括2014年吞并的克里米亚半岛、统称为顿巴斯地区的乌东顿涅茨克和卢甘斯克州，以及南部扎波罗热州和赫尔松州的大片地区。

泽连斯基不相信普京有意结束战争。他周三敦促特朗普访问北京期间，与中国国家主席习近平讨论结束俄乌战争的问题。

中国是俄罗斯的紧密经济和政治伙伴。俄罗斯于2022年入侵乌克兰后，北京说，它对这场战争保持中立立场。

上周，在特朗普斡旋下，俄乌同意停火三天，但停火期间双方均指责对方违反停火协议，并在停火结束后随即发动大规模袭击。

Senate Republicans balk at $1B White House ballroom request: ‘You made that number up’

May 13, 2026 9:07am EDT / Fox News

Senate Republicans are having a hard time stomaching an eye-popping funding request that, in part, would fund security enhancements for President Donald Trump’s ballroom.

Republicans in the upper chamber still aren’t completely on board with a $1 billion request from the Trump administration and Secret Service tucked into their immigration operations funding package, and many are wondering how exactly that figure was created.

“It was one thing when private dollars were building it,” Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, said. “If you’re asking me for a billion dollars, I have some really hard questions. If I were a businessman and an employee came and said, ‘I have a project, and it’s a billion dollars,’ I’d say, ‘You made that number up,’ right? Like, where did the number come from?”

ONCE TOUTED AS PRIVATELY FUNDED, REPUBLICANS SNEAK IN TAXPAYER CASH FOR TRUMP’S BALLROOM PROJECT

Curtis’ skepticism came as Republicans were headed for a closed-door briefing on the request from Secret Service Director Sean Curran, who provided a high-level breakdown of the funding in a one-pager obtained by Fox News Digital.

Curran’s explanation wasn’t enough for several Republicans, who left the meeting still wanting more detailed information on exactly how the funding, which is part of the broader reconciliation package meant for immigration enforcement, would be used.

“They need to go back and get us more details about exactly how they arrived at the figure,” Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., said afterward.

Curran presented lawmakers with a high-level breakdown of how the money would be spent, which included $220 million for “White House complex hardening.”

TRUMP ADMIN DEFENDS WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM AS NATIONAL SECURITY MATTER

That category, like the legislation released by the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, dictated that the funding would fund “above and below ground” security enhancements for Trump’s ballroom, which the administration argued would “afford needed protection for the president, his family, and visitors, along with the below-ground, highest-level security functions.”

Those enhancements would include bulletproof glass, drone detection technology, chemical filtration and detection systems and “a host of other national security functions.”

An additional $180 million would go toward a White House screening center for visitors. The remaining $600 million would go toward Secret Service training, enhancing protection for Trump and other officials, and other security measures including countering drones and other aerial incursions.

“What was clear today is this whole statement, ‘It’s a billion dollars for a ballroom.’ Anyone who prints that is printing something they know is a lie. That’s not true,” Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., told Fox News Digital. “It’s not a billion dollars for the ballroom.”

The entirety of the funding won’t be going exclusively to enhancing security for Trump’s colossal ballroom, so Republicans want more answers on how each dollar will be used.

And they acknowledge that the price tag is a hard sell to make in the midst of growing economic issues across the country.

“The way I look at it, I look at it like a business guy,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital. “So it’s an investment, and it’s gonna, you know, you have to explain to the American public, if you’re gonna spend their money, how do you get a return?”

Scott, like several other Republicans, is in favor of boosting security for Trump, who faced a third assassination attempt last month, and future presidents.

And there is an opportunity to cut the request down, which some Republicans suggested could be an option as they sprint to finish work on the broader $72 billion package.

“We want to make sure we’re being responsible with taxpayer dollars and see what is the best vehicle for that, and then making sure that we’re judicious with that money,” Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., told Fox News Digital.

Meanwhile, the funding request is a small piece in a broader package meant to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol for the next three and a half years through the budget reconciliation process.

Whether the ballroom security and Secret Service funding actually stays in the package is an open question, given that the entire package will be reviewed under the Senate’s strict Byrd Rule guidelines that dictate what can and can’t make it into the reconciliation process.

And Democrats are planning to push hard against the security funding, arguing that the money would be better spent elsewhere on affordability issues.

“The bottom line is, this ballroom is a disgrace,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. “The Republicans know it. Let’s see if they have the guts to do what they know is right, both substantively and politically, and tell Trump we don’t need a God — we don’t need a damn ballroom.”
