The 2015 death of Murdaugh-linked Stephen Smith is now considered a murder, South Carolina authorities revealed — ahead of the planned exhumation of the gay teen’s body.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) had been waiting to drop the bombshell development until after the Alex Murdaugh double murder trial wrapped up and the ensuing drama quieted down, Bland Richter Law Firm announced Tuesday.
“SLED officials have revealed that they did not need to exhume Stephen Smith’s body to convince them that his death was a homicide,” said Charleston attorneys Eric Bland and Ronnie Richter, who were retained by Smith’s mother.
