A South Carolina judge sided with prosecutors who asked him to put strict controls on how Alex Murdaugh's defense can review evidence before the disgraced lawyer's murder trial in the deaths of his wife and son.
Monday’s contentious hearing started with one of Murdaugh’s lawyers interrupting Deputy Attorney General Creighton Waters less than 30 seconds after he started speaking saying prosecutors were “trying to hijack this proceeding.”
Defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said the rules were unfair because it limits who the defense can show the evidence to and how it handles documents, photos and recordings. Waters and Attorney General Alan Wilson have denied leaking any information. Waters suggested Monday that attorneys for others who have testified before grand juries investigating Murdaugh for the killings and a number of financial crimes were the sources for any leaks.
