COLUMBIA, S.C. — Prosecutors from the South Carolina attorney general’s office have leaked derogatory confidential information to news outlets calculated to hurt disbarred lawyer Alex Murdaugh in his upcoming trial for the 2021 killings of his wife and son, Murdaugh’s lawyers alleged in a court filing Monday.
The damaging information was from a video taken from deceased son Paul’s cellphone, the motion says.
Not only is the attorney general’s office selectively leaking to media, prosecutors continue to withhold information vital to Murdaugh’s case from his lawyers, the motion said.
