The former attorney was sentenced to life in prison in 2023 after being found guilty of killing his wife and son on their family estate. At the time, the jury reached a unanimous decision. Now, the court has found Murdaugh did not receive a fair trial by an impartial jury due to interference from Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill.

The cluttered environment seemed to have no effect on the band, which is used to playing spacious stadium stages, as frontman Dave Grohl leaned into the mic to snarl, “You know I don't really give a damn,” before the band took over with…
