Attorneys for Alex Murdaugh allege that the lead agent in his murder case lied to the grand jury and presented "fabricated" evidence, and they are asking a judge to dismiss the indictments.
In a motion to dismiss dated Aug. 7, Murdaugh's attorneys alleged that David Owen, the lead South Carolina Law Enforcement Division agent on his case, delivered "perjurious testimony and fabricated evidence" before a grand jury, characterizing his conduct as prosecutorial misconduct.
Murdaugh's attorneys said more information about the alleged prosecutorial misconduct would be shown in a later filing.
