The former lawyer’s murder charges were dismissed, but financial convictions will remain.

The South Carolina Supreme Court overturned lawyer Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions and life sentence on May 13 in the shooting deaths of his wife and younger son.

The justices unanimously ruled the conduct by the court clerk “egregiously attacked Murdaugh’s credibility.”

Murdaugh will remain in prison. He pleaded guilty to 22 counts of federal financial crimes for stealing about $12 million from his clients and is serving 40 years in prison.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
