<strong>\u201cnewly discovered evidence&#8217;\u201d<\/strong> that his legal team contends was\u200c never\u200b presented to the jury.<\/p>\n<p>The stunning announcement comes as <a

murders of his \u2063wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and their son, Paul Murdaugh.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for the convicted murderer, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, who previously represented him during his initial trial, have scheduled a press\u2062 conference for Tuesday to\u200b present their strategy for challenging his conviction, <a

follows a period\u2064 of silence\u200c from Murdaugh\u2019s surviving son, Buster Murdaugh, who recently broke\u2063 his six-month reserve to express his belief that his father was wrongfully convicted, although he admitted his father has some psychopathic qualities, according to <a
