Legal wrangling and surprising developments have renewed the spotlight on the cases of Peterson, Bryan Kohberger, Adnan Syed, Alex Murdaugh and Richard Allen.
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. And while “Serial” subject Adnan Syed in 2022 regained his freedom after decades behind bars, there is still a slight chance he could go back to prison.
Alex Murdaugh stands next to the witness booth during a break in his trial for murder at the Colleton County Courthouse on Feb. 23, 2023, in Colleton County, South Carolina.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. Earlier that day, theabout money he had stolen from the law firm.
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.At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high-quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.
