Alex Murdaugh is charged with the murders of his wife, Maggie Murdaugh and his son, Paul Murdaugh. As jury selection has stalled for the day, the court is hearing late pretrial motions before the trial begins. Murdaugh's defense team is arguing against the admission of "firearm's identification" evidence and the S.C. Attorney General's Office has filed their own motion, claiming that the evidence is reliable and should be allowed. Jurors have been cut down to a field of 123. 80 people will be selected randomly to return Wednesday at 11 a.m. Twelve jurors and six alternates will be chosen.
