亚历克斯·默多的律师周三指控检方隐瞒了一份证人证词，该证词指称南卡罗来纳州一名警察局长在2021年谋杀案发生后，曾接触过杀害默多妻子和儿子的凶器，并为他安排了一套换洗衣物，律师请求法官介入。
Attorneys for Alex Murdaugh accused prosecutors Wednesday of withholding a witness statement alleging a South Carolina police chief handled the weapons used to kill Murdaugh's wife and son and arranged a change of clothes for him after the 2021 killings, asking a judge to intervene.
默多于2023年因在科尔顿县家族的莫塞尔庄园谋杀妻子玛吉和儿子保罗而被判有罪。
Murdaugh was convicted in 2023 of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, at the family's Moselle property in Colleton County.
南卡罗来纳州最高法院后来推翻了该判决，认定前科尔顿县法院书记员贝基·希尔不当影响了陪审团。他的重审定于2027年4月5日开始。
The South Carolina Supreme Court later overturned the convictions after finding that former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill improperly influenced the jury. His retrial is scheduled to begin April 5, 2027.
默多律师周三提交的动议引用了媒体报道，称州大陪审团听取了证词，指控耶马西警察局长格雷格·亚历山大在2021年6月7日谋杀案发生后不久被人看到持有凶器。
The motion, filed by Murdaugh's attorneys Wednesday, cites press reports that a state grand jury heard testimony alleging Yemassee Police Chief Greg Alexander was seen with the murder weapons shortly after the June 7, 2021, killings.
亚历克斯·默多要求重新搜证以寻找案件破绽 “根据这些报道，证人作证称，耶马西镇警察局长格雷格·亚历山大在2021年6月7日谋杀案发生的当下被看到持有凶器，且第二名耶马西警官因涉嫌运输和隐藏武器及衣物而接受调查，”动议中写道。
ALEX MURDAUGH DEMANDS NEW EVIDENCE SEARCH IN HUNT FOR CRACKS IN CASE "According to those reports, witnesses have testified that the Chief of Police of the Town of Yemassee, Greg Alexander, was seen with the murder weapons in the immediate aftermath of the June 7, 2021, killings, and that second Yemassee officer is under investigation for transporting and concealing weapons and clothing," the filing states.
动议还引用了《邮报与信使报》的一篇报道，该报道称“一位低地地区官员告诉州执法部门（SLED）特工，亚历山大局长‘谈到过早早赶到谋杀现场，并谈到过为默多提供一套换洗衣物’，且该官员认为枪支和衣物被带进了警局并存放在那里。”
It also cites a story from The Post and Courier, which reported that "a Lowcountry official told SLED agents that Chief Alexander 'spoke of arriving early to the murder scene and talked about providing a change of clothes to Murdaugh,' and that the official believed the guns and clothing were brought into the police station and stored there."
默多辩方称侦探在受害者指甲下发现男性DNA却跳过关键检测 值得注意的是，《邮报与信使报》无法证实这些指控。
MURDAUGH DEFENSE SAYS DETECTIVES FOUND MALE DNA UNDER VICTIM'S NAILS BUT SKIPPED KEY TESTING Notably, the allegations couldn't be corroborated by The Post and Courier.
在2023年默多克的首次谋杀审判中，检方主张他使用两种不同类型的武器杀害了家人，随后用附近的水管冲洗现场、换了衣服，开车去父母家，据称将凶器留在那里，一周后返回处理掉它们。检方此前曾承认，警方从未找回凶器。
At Murdaugh's first murder trial in 2023, prosecutors contended that he killed his family members using two different types of weapons, then used a nearby water hose to clean up, changed his clothes and drove to his parents' house, where he allegedly left the murder weapons before returning a week later to dispose of them. Prosecutors had previously acknowledged that police never recovered the weapons.
亚历山大通过其律师乔·麦卡洛克否认了媒体报道中的指控。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系亚历山大和麦卡洛克。阅读文件：默多克的辩护团队请求法官强制检方移交其掌握的“关于用于杀害玛吉·默多克和保罗·默多克的所谓凶器的处理、运输、隐藏或处置的信息，包括一名证人于2023年向南卡罗来纳州执法部门特工作出的陈述，称一位低地地区警察局长提到过早早赶到现场并为被告默多克提供了一套换洗衣物，关于该主题进行的每一次访谈记录，以及提交给州大陪审团的相关证词和证据。”
Alexander, through his attorney Joe McCulloch, denied accusations made in the media reports. Fox News Digital reached out to Alexander and McCulloch. READ THE FILING: Murdaugh's defense team asked a judge to force prosecutors to turn over information it has "concerning the handling, transport, concealment, or disposal of the alleged weapons used to kill Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh, including the statement a witness gave to agents of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division in 2023 that a Lowcountry police chief spoke of arriving early at the scene and of providing Defendant Murdaugh a change of clothes, the reports of every interview conducted on that subject, and the testimony and exhibits presented to the State Grand Jury concerning it."
其律师称，“如果报道属实”，检方掌握的证据与其自身的理论相矛盾。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系南卡罗来纳州检察长办公室置评。
His attorneys said "if the reports are accurate," that prosecutors have held evidence that contradicts their own theory. Fox News Digital has reached out to the South Carolina Attorney General's Office for comment.
