Alex Murdaugh Retrial: Former Prosecutor on What Both Sides Gained in Three Years

Three years between the verdict and the reversal. In that time, the defense picked up a perjury conviction against the clerk who tampered with the jury and a Supreme Court opinion restricting the financial evidence that dominated the first trial. The prosecution picked up a complete transcript of Murdaugh’s testimony and additional time to refine its forensic case.

Eric Faddis weighs the advantages from both sides. Murdaugh’s prior testimony is potentially the State’s most valuable asset — a locked-in record that constrains the defense whether Murdaugh testifies again or not. But the defense has something it never had before: an official judicial finding that the first trial was unfair, backed by the harshest language the Supreme Court could muster against a court officer.

Faddis addresses whether Hill’s misconduct can be put before the retrial jury as part of the defense narrative, whether the State has new evidence to bring, and the jury selection challenge that may define the entire proceeding — finding twelve people in South Carolina who haven’t already formed an opinion about this case.
