Alex Murdaugh Can’t Access His Own Evidence Before April

The first retrial hearing produced a ruling that goes directly to the defense’s ability to prepare. Judge McCaslin denied Murdaugh a laptop after the prison warden refused. The conference room compromise means every discovery review session requires his attorneys to physically visit the facility with their own equipment. Harpootlian warned the court that without better access, preparation could take longer than the April 5 deadline allows.

For case followers: the defense revealed its hand at this hearing in ways that hadn’t been public before. Transcripts from first responders with conflicting accounts about who was present at Moselle. Confirmation that eight new experts are being brought in. A public acknowledgment that whether Murdaugh takes the stand again is undecided. And the DNA motion — Item No. 70, the unknown male DNA from under Maggie’s fingernails — deferred to August 14.

Bob Motta evaluates what the defense showed and what they clearly held back. Tony Brueski and Bob Motta.
