Murdaugh defense highlights missing key DNA tests

Alex Murdaugh's defense is urging the court to require South Carolina prosecutors to release key forensic evidence, including unidentified male DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and raw data from a crime scene laser scan, which they claim have not been fully tested or provided.
