Murdaugh Retrial Assigned New Judge

McCaslin to oversee Alex Murdaugh’s retrial after his original murder convictions were overturned—thanks to jury tampering by former clerk Becky Hill, who’s already guilty.

Though he’s still locked up for financial crimes, no retrial date is set yet—watch this space as McCaslin takes the reins in a case that’s far from over.
