Alex Murdaugh and his defense attorneys want his murder case to be thrown out. They will fight for that dismissal at a hearing on November 13 in Lexington, South Carolina.  

In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson talks with South Carolina attorney Joe McCulloch on Alex Murdaugh's motion to dismiss the charges leading up to the retrial. McCulloch, who represents Murdaugh jurors from the first trial and Yemassee Police Chief Greg Alexander, details what he calls the "Murdaugh Madness" - the never-ending allegations and rumors around the Murdaugh case, as we sort fact from fiction. McCulloch breaks down the defense claim that false blood stain evidence on Alex Murdaugh's white T-shirt went to the grand jury, testimony about the rifles used in the murders and what he says has come of the Greg Alexander weapons claims. 

Murdaugh's retrial is scheduled for April 2027.
