And this news will certainly make this a major trial. Why did the verdict get thrown out?

An employee of the court told the jurors to disregard his testimony. There have been Netflix and Disney series on Murdaugh, the latter was quite good.

I saw that it was getting attention but stayed away from it. Might have to get sucked in.

They were major Democratic power brokers in South Carolina. His lawyer was Jim Harpoutlian. Murdaugh was a drug addict who was embezzling his clients and law firm, the firm which was made up of his dad and brother.
