The South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions and life sentence for the killings of his wife and his younger son. The high court ruled Wednesday that a court clerk influenced the trial by suggesting to jurors that Murdaugh might lie while testifying in his own defense. Murdaugh’s lawyers had argued the trial judge’s rulings allowing days of testimony about unrelated financial crimes and a biased court clerk who spoke to jurors prevented a fair trial. Murdaugh has admitted to stealing money and insurance fraud but adamantly denied the killings since finding his wife and son dead in 2021. Murdaugh won’t be released from prison.

A former FedEx driver has been sentenced to death after he pleaded guilty to killing a 7-year-old girl he took from her Texas home while delivering a Christmas gift. Jurors decided Tuesday on the sentence for 34-year-old Tanner Horner. He had pleaded guilty to capital murder just as his trial began in Fort Worth in the 2022 killing of Athena Strand. Her body was found two days after she was reported missing in the rural town of Paradise, near Fort Worth. Horner's attorney had asked jurors to sentence Horner to life in prison and said Horner suffered from "various mental illnesses."
