New Evidence Emerges in Alex Murdaugh Case

In a shocking turn of events, never-before-seen text messages have surfaced in the case of Alex Murdaugh, shedding new light on the ongoing investigation. Alex’s defense attorney has expressed concern over the lack of prosecution of Eddie Smith, whom they believe to be one of the biggest OxyContin dealers in the state.

Attorney Harpootlian stated, “He’s wandering the streets, I heard maybe out of the state, and we’re perplexed why Eddie Smith has been given this preferential treatment when once Alex was convicted, there was no reason not to go ahead and prosecute him. Everybody else has pleaded guilty, except Eddie Smith.”

The text messages in question could have provided crucial information that may have impacted the trial proceedings. Harpootlian emphasized the importance of these texts, stating, “It might have made the difference in us calling him to the stand or not calling him to the stand. So yes, they’re important.”

Alex Murdaugh is currently in the process of appealing his conviction, raising allegations of jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill. Hill has since been arrested and charged with obstruction of justice, further complicating the legal proceedings.
