Even if the long-shot request is granted, it may not stop, or even postpone, an April retrial for the disgraced lawyer. Prosecutors can seek another set of grand jury indictments as soon as next month, and defense attorneys said they won't stop them. But a ruling for Murdaugh would be another rebuke of the chief investigator, State Law Enforcement Division agent David Owen . A judge last year threw out a different murder case Owen was involved in. Alex Murdaugh's attorneys are going back to court, this time trying to get his
