Alex Murdaugh, the disbarred South Carolina attorney accused of killing his wife and son, will face his second murder trial next spring after his murder convictions were overturned on appeal.
Murdaugh, 58, appeared in court Monday, shackled in an orange jumpsuit, for his first court appearance since his convictions were overturned. Circuit Court Judge Debra McCaslin ruled the new trial will begin April 5, 2027.

Murdaugh’s attorneys filed several pretrial motions last week, including requests for a change of venue, for further independent testing of DNA evidence and for Murdaugh to get access to a computer behind bars.

Separate from the murder case, Murdaugh pleaded guilty to dozens of financial crimes and remains behind bars on concurrent state and federal sentences of 27 and 40 years.
