NewzA South Carolina judge ruled on Friday to relocate Alex Murdaugh’s murder retrial away from the rural county where the original proceedings took place in 2023. The decision follows concerns regarding the impact the high-profile case had on the local community during the initial six-week trial.
While the venue change was granted, the court has deferred a decision on a separate defense motion that seeks to have the entire case dismissed. The request to toss out the case remains pending as legal proceedings continue.
