Summary
Alex Murdaugh’s double-murder retrial is now set for April 27 in Sumter County, chosen by a judge for its fairness, security, and tech readiness — after his original conviction was overturned. His legal team argued the Colleton County jury was biased by media frenzy, pushing for Charleston or Richland instead, while prosecutors rejected Florence and Spartanburg. Murdaugh, already serving time for financial crimes — 27 years state, 40 federal — will remain incarcerated as the legal drama continues.
