Murdaugh retrial set after murder convictions overturned

A South Carolina judge has set April 5 of next year as the retrial date for former attorney Alex Murdaugh.

His conviction for the killing of his wife and son was thrown out in May after the South Carolina Supreme Court found the clerk of court made inappropriate statements that prejudiced the jury.

Murdaugh remains in prison and is also serving a decadeslong sentence for financial crimes.
