Alex Murdaugh was back in court Monday on charges he killed his wife and son, appearing silently at a pretrial hearing that was mostly short on substance but long on spectacle as the true crime sensation continues to captivate.
Murdaugh’s murder convictions and sentence of life in prison were overturned last month by the South Carolina Supreme Court. The goals of Monday's hearing were to set deadlines for exchanging evidence between the defense and prosecution, and to figure out dates for other hearings and the next trial, which was set for April 5.
