Summary
Alex Murdaugh returns to court for his double-murder retrial, with April 5th eyed as a possible start date after his original conviction was overturned due to jury tampering. The defense seeks retesting of DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh’s nails, labeled a “red herring” by prosecutors, while the judge denies Murdaugh’s request for a laptop in his cell over prison safety concerns. Elsewhere, a five-year-old boy, JayCeon Gates, tragically died in a dog attack in Ladson; authorities are investigating. Charleston’s culinary scene gets a fresh twist with Luther’s Market, offering handmade pasta, local vendor goods, and future pasta-making classes. On the sports front, Emma Navarro, seeded 23rd at Wimbledon, is back on track after health issues, having won a title and reached another final since returning in May — and she’s set to play her first match at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
