South Carolina is about to do something it never expected to face: sit in a courtroom and explain whether the most high-profile trial in state history was actually fair. On February 11, 2026, the South Carolina Supreme Court will hear Alex Murdaugh’s appeal—an appeal built on allegations that go way beyond legal strategy. We’re talking about a court clerk chasing fame, a jury exposed to comments that never should’ve been made, and a trial that became a six-day spectacle of financial wrongdoing rather than a focused examination of the double homicide at Moselle.



Tonight, we break down exactly what this appeal argues, what the state is pushing back with, and why this hearing could change how South Carolina trials are run for years to come—regardless of how anyone feels about Alex Murdaugh personally.



We’ll walk through the key issues:

 • The Becky Hill scandal and the allegation of jury influence

 • The flood of financial-crime evidence that may have overwhelmed the murder case

 • The questionable investigative shortcuts the defense says were ignored

 • What the Supreme Court can actually do—and what each option means

 • How this hearing could redefine fairness, prejudice, and courtroom integrity



This isn’t about whether you like Alex Murdaugh. This is about whether the system followed the rules when everything—from politics to public pressure to Hollywood-level media attention—was pulling it toward a verdict.



And with Becky Hill now facing charges of her own, the stakes are suddenly higher than anyone thought. The question now is simple: Will the Supreme Court stand by the original verdict, or step in and declare that the process itself crossed a line?



Let’s dig into what’s coming, what’s at risk, and what this appeal really means.
