Episode Details

Alex Murdaugh’s legal team is fighting to get fresh DNA evidence sent to a Texas lab before South Carolina authorities can touch it, arguing that state testing could ruin the samples needed for sensitive SNP analysis. The defense claims there’s no scientific need to retest already-analyzed evidence and fears degradation will limit future options — while also pushing for faster, independent review at their own expense. Prosecutors resist these moves, blocking Murdaugh’s access to case files and evidence from his wife’s fingernails, as he prepares for a new trial after his previous convictions were overturned due to jury tampering.
