(COLUMBIA, S.C.) – On Wednesday, August 19th, Attorney General Alan Wilson's Office filed with the Court a Correction of Defense False Statement in the Murdaugh murder case.
The filing seeks "to correct factually inaccurate statements made by defense counsel at the hearing before this Honorable Court on August 14, 2026. Defense counsel's claim on the record at the hearing that Defendant Alex Murdaugh passed a SLED polygraph as to the murders, much less any governmental polygraph on any subject, is categorically false and clearly said for no other reason than an attempt to prejudice this Court and the public."
