 Lawyers for Alec Murdoch are appealing to the South Carolina Supreme Court. In March 2023, Murdoch was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for the murders of his wife and son. Murdoch's lawyers allege the former Colleton County Clerk of Court tampered with the jury in the case, but in January, a judge determined there was not enough evidence for Murdoch to get a new trial. Now Murdoch's team wants the state's highest court to review that decision.
