Here’s Where Scott Peterson’s And Other Notorious Murder Cases Stand

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING It once seemed inconceivable that convicted murderers Scott Peterson and Alex Murdaugh could get another chance at freedom, but some shocking developments and legal wrangling have seen both return to the courtroom. Joshua Boucher/Pool/The State/Tribune News Service via Getty Images Defendant: Alex Murdaugh, 55 Victims: Maggie, 52, and Paul Murdaugh, 22 The crime: In what was dubbed the “trial of the century,” Murdaugh, once a prominent attorney, was convicted of gunning down his wife and son at the family’s rural hunting property in Islandton, South Carolina, on the night of June 7, 2021. Current status: Syed’s case was revisited in the 2014 “Serial” podcast, a worldwide hit that galvanized armchair detectives and paved the way for countless true crime podcasts to follow. Then-Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who had been indicted earlier that year for federal perjury and mortgage fraud charges said in a news conference that Syed had been “excluded” as a suspect because trace DNA from multiple people — none of them Syed — was found on Lee’s shoes in a second round of testing. In Syed’s petition, his attorneys disputed Lee’s claims of one-sidedness, and said that granting his request would be “wildly impractical, if not disastrous.” The court heard arguments from both sides in October but has yet to issue their rulings — they aren’t on a fixed timeline, and it could come any moment.
