The judge corrected Dick Harpootlian in open court. Harpootlian had claimed Alex Murdaugh passed a polygraph with flying colors. Murdaugh failed it. The polygraph measured whether he hid assets — it had nothing to do with the deaths of Maggie and Paul. No test about the murders was ever administered. The judge warned Harpootlian that when he makes a representation to this court, it must be truthful and accurate. The hearing's other battle: evidence dumps. The defense laid out what the state delivered before the first trial — 73 gigabytes three days before jury selection. And a SLED ballistics expert's testimony that he'd never seen .300 Blackout in a homicide was contradicted by the agency's own intake records. The judge told both sides this case will be tried in a courtroom, not in the press. Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty. April retrial in Sumter County.
