COLUMBIA, S.C. — Attorneys on both sides of the Alex Murdaugh case got some of what they asked for from a South Carolina judge Monday after a few fiery courtroom clashes.
Judge Clifton Newman ordered prosecutors Monday to provide evidence to the disbarred attorney’s defense team, while at the same time issuing a temporary protective order restricting how that information can be shared. Newman said he will issue a more formal order soon.
Autopsy photos and “dumps” from private cellphone numbers, for example, will not be able to be shared.
