the night his wife and son were gunned down — making it impossible to challenge claims that it links him to the murders, according to his attorneys.
But Bevel’s first report “emphatically said the shirt contained no stains consistent with back spatter resulting from a gunshot,” attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin wrote. Murdaugh’s attorneys asked earlier this month to get the shirt for further testing at “an outside laboratory” — just to be told 13 days later that it was “destroyed,” the filing said.“SLED elected to conduct its tests in a manner that would prevent anyone else from conducting subsequent tests,” they insisted — which “may well have happened in bad faith, but it could also be mere gross negligence.”
“The murder scene was gruesome; there was a large amount of blood on and around their bodies which transferred onto Mr. Murdaugh’s hands and clothing when he frantically checked them for signs of life,” they wrote of the high likelihood he would have blood or DNA on him. SLED Chief Mark Keel told The Post and Courier that his force was “reviewing the motion and will respond at the appropriate time.”
