Former South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial is underway in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and there are many questions surrounding the trial, Murdaugh’s family and more.

The first charges in a long list of criminal and civil allegations that Murdaugh faces are in the deaths of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, on June 7, 2021. These two deaths were the catalyst to the ruins of the Murdaugh family dynasty and the unfolding of a much larger story.
