SLED told the first jury about unknown male DNA under Maggie Murdaugh's left fingernails and left it at that. The defense now says the same unknown male profile appears under her other hand and on the cell phone discarded from the car after she was killed. Alex Murdaugh is excluded from all of it. A federal prisoner's sworn statement also sat untouched in the state's files — Ryan Spencer North detailed $15,000-a-week pill sales to the family and a $165,000 debt owed by Eddie Smith to a violent drug gang. The statement landed in an evidence dump three days before the first trial. The judge granted independent Y-STR testing and set a 90-day clock. Retrial is April in Sumter County. He has pleaded not guilty.
