The Alec Murdoch Trial: A Bad Week for the Defendant

The hearings for the Alec Murdoch case took place this week to determine if he will get a new trial. The proceedings did not go well for Murdoch, as the judge set strict ground rules that limited the defense's ability to present their case. The defense had hoped for a full-blown hearing with more opportunities for cross-examination, but these expectations were not met. The judge's rulings on the legal standards for determining a new trial were also unfavorable to the defense, making it a challenging week for Murdoch's quest for a new trial.
