> A federal judge dismissed Alex Murdaugh’s lawsuit on Wednesday. The case targeted a former court clerk. The clerk’s interaction with the jury during Murdaugh’s 2023 trial led to his murder convictions being overturned earlier this year. The ruling ends this particular legal action against the former clerk.
