Disgraced South Carolina legal scion Alex Murdaugh will have a much better shot at being acquitted of his wife and son’s murders after the state Supreme Court stunningly overturned his conviction Wednesday, legal experts told The Post.   Murdaugh, 57, has been serving two consecutive life sentences without parole for the brutal 2021 executions of his wife, Maggie, and their 22-year-old son, Paul, after a jury found him guilty of the slayings following a dramatic six-week trial in 2023.   Now, he he will get another chance to argue his long-professed innocence, after the court tossed the conviction over misconduct by former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill.
