'Completely Manufactured': State Responds to Murdaugh Defense's Request for Cell Phone Evidence
Prosecutors say the cellphone data was already shared multiple times and offer to send it again as defense seeks raw extraction files.
- On Tuesday, prosecutors filed a response disputing defense claims that they withheld critical cellphone extraction files for Alex Murdaugh's upcoming retrial, arguing they provided this data previously.
- Ahead of the April 5, 2027, retrial for the 2021 murders of wife Maggie Murdaugh and son Paul Murdaugh, defense attorneys claim the state has failed to produce necessary evidence.
- Defense counsel Richard Harpootlian filed multiple motions in September requesting DNA records, FARO laser-scan data, and murder weapon disposal information; Judge Debra McCaslin scheduled an in-person hearing for October 16.
- Prosecutors cited January 2023 emails where defense attorneys acknowledged receiving Murdaugh's cellphone data, contradicting current claims of late production; the state offered to provide another copy.
- Attorneys warned that a lack of timely evidence production could force a postponement of Murdaugh's 2027 retrial, as both sides await the October 16 hearing before McCaslin to address these discovery conflicts.
