Alex Murdaugh’s Retrial Hinges on DNA That Was Never Run Through a Database — Whose Is It?

Alex Murdaugh’s Retrial Hinges on DNA That Was Never Run Through a Database — Whose Is It?

Dick Harpootlian told national media his team can counter the kennel video. He wouldn’t say how. The kennel video is the single piece of evidence that placed Alex Murdaugh at the murder scene minutes before Maggie and Paul were killed. Multiple witnesses identified his voice. He admitted he lied about being there. The first jury heard it and convicted in three hours.

Meanwhile, prosecutors have lost the narrative weapon that carried the first conviction. The Supreme Court called twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony excessive. The retrial must sharply limit it. The defense also claims untested male DNA under Maggie’s fingernails and has filed a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill that gives them deposition tools the murder case never offered.

The first trial lasted six weeks. The retrial is being rebuilt from scratch by both sides. This conversation breaks down what each side kept, what each side lost, and which strategy is more likely to fail.

A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.
