A recent ruling has been made in the case of Alex Murdaugh. Judge Debra McCaslin decided that the retrial will be held outside of the 14th Judicial Circuit in South Carolina. This decision also means the trial will not take place in Colleton County.

The ruling was made on a Friday, during a pretrial hearing. Details of the case and the reasoning behind the decision are available from local news sources. Further information on the case and the ruling can be found through KTXS, the local ABC affiliate in Abilene, Texas.
