Murdaugh defense says newly disclosed reserve DNA samples should go to Othram before state analysis
Alex Murdaugh's lawyers say prosecutors told them about reserve DNA samples that have not been tested yet. They want an independent lab, Othram, to test the samples first. They fear that if state police test the DNA first, the sample could be used up or damaged. A memo filed on July 30 asks the court to let Othram examine the evidence before any state testing.
