LIVE | Alex Murdaugh Pretrial Hearing — October 16, 2026 | 10AM ET

Join The Forensic Room as we livestream Alex Murdaugh's pretrial hearing, where the court is expected to address recent motions involving the defense team's allegations that prosecutors withheld evidence, including phone data, DNA evidence, and other discovery materials. We've previously broken down these filings, including the prosecution's responses disputing the defense's claims. Now we'll hear these issues addressed in court as Murdaugh's team continues preparing for his anticipated April 2027 retrial. IMPORTANT COVERAGE NOTE: If we're permitted to livestream the O'Keefe family's Motion to Compel hearing, we will switch to that hearing within this same stream. No need to change links!
