Murdaugh 辩护方请求法官下令控方移交证据,为重审做准备

【哥伦比亚讯】10月1日,南卡罗来纳州杀妻弑子案被告阿历克斯·默多克(Alex Murdaugh)的辩护律师向法院提出动议,请求法官下令控方在重审前移交关键证据。据《格林维尔新闻》报道,辩护方称部分证据材料至今未完整披露。
默多克此前因谋杀妻子与儿子被定罪,后因陪审团相关争议获准重审。辩护律师表示,完整的证据开示是公正审判的前提。
检方尚未公开回应此次动议。法官预计将在近期听证会上就是否强制移交证据作出裁定,重审日期尚未确定。

Murdaugh Defense Asks Judge to Compel Evidence Before Retrial
[COLUMBIA] Attorneys for Alex Murdaugh — the South Carolina man convicted of murdering his wife and son — filed a motion October 1 asking the judge to compel prosecutors to turn over key evidence ahead of his retrial, the Greenville News reported. The defense says some evidence materials have not been fully disclosed.
Murdaugh's earlier murder conviction was set for retrial over jury-related issues. Defense lawyers said complete discovery is a prerequisite for a fair trial.
Prosecutors have not publicly responded to the motion. The judge is expected to rule on the compulsion request at an upcoming hearing; no retrial date has been set.
