Testimony resumed Wednesday in the double murder trial of former attorney Richard "Alex" Murdaugh after the South Carolina courthouse was evacuated over a bomb threat.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division confirmed that a bomb threat was received by personnel at the Colleton County Courthouse, part of the 14th Judicial Circuit where Murdaugh's ancestors once held legal power for 85-plus years as solicitors.

I feel so sorry for Maggie and Paul, what happened to them is deeply distressing.
But this murder case has to be the most interesting in US history since OJ’s farce of a trial.
i know man that is crazy, this man literally shot his sons head off, even though the first shot likely killed him, with a shotgun. That is just crazy
Where’s Nancy Grace 😁 she will be all over this tonight or tomorrow lol
