Alex Murdaugh's surviving son, Buster Murdaugh, gets married in lavish Lowcountry wedding
Alex Murdaugh's surviving eldest son, Buster Murdaugh, married his fiancée, Brooklynn White, in a lavish Lowcountry ceremony on May 3.
The couple married at Coosaw Point, a former private hunting preserve-turned event venue, in Beaufort, South Carolina — where Alex Murdaugh was tried for financial crimes following his conviction in the 2021 murders of his younger son, Paul, and wife, Maggie.
Photos posted to Instagram show what appeared to be a picturesque ceremony held beneath a sailcloth tent overlooking marshland on the Coosaw Point property. Tables were covered in green and white cloths, and flower arrangements included blue and white hydrangeas and other greenery.
White wore an off-the-shoulder dress with her hair in an elegant updo, while Buster wore a white jacket, black bow tie and black dress pants with a monogrammed belt.

The couple shared a white, four-tiered wedding cake with a simple, floral design.
White remained by Buster's side throughout his father's murder and financial crimes trials in 2023.
Alex Murdaugh, 56, is serving a life sentence for fatally shooting his wife and younger son in June 2021 on their family's hunting estate in Colleton County.
Prosecutors argued that their murders were an attempt to distract from his mounting financial crimes, which were beginning to come to light around that time.

In a 2023 FOX Nation-exclusive series, "The Fall of the House of Murdaugh," Buster sat down with FOX News anchor Martha MacCallum to uncover the alleged truth behind his father's controversial conviction for the murders, nailing down his argument that there are "always two sides of the story."
MURDAUGH FIRST RESPONDER REVEALS NEW CRIME SCENE DETAILS AFTER GUILTY VERDICT
"I do not believe it was fair," he told MacCallum of his father's murder trial. "I was there for six weeks studying it, and I think it was a tilted table from the beginning. And I think, unfortunately, a lot of the jurors felt that way prior to when they had to deliberate. It was predetermined in their minds, prior to when they ever heard any shred of evidence that was given in that room."

Buster argued that law enforcement was desperate to come up with a suspect due to the massive media attention the case was receiving. He believes that the police rushed to judgment after they learned Alex was the person who discovered the bodies.

"My biggest thing that I want people to realize that there are always two sides of the story. Now they can pick which one they want to believe, but I think there's a heck of a lot that still needs to be answered about what happened."
When asked whether he believes the term "psychopath" was a fair assessment of his father, Buster told McCallum that he thinks "there are characteristics where you look at the manipulation and the lies and the carrying out of that such, and I think that is a fair assessment."

Not-so-hot pursuit of burglary suspect sees police cars chase tractor excavator at walking pace
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Police in South Carolina engaged in a not-so-hot pursuit as they chased a tractor excavator down a main highway for more than an hour at the speed an average adult walks. The chase reached speeds of 3 mph (4.8 kph) early Sunday morning in North Charleston, police said. Officers on a different call saw the big piece of construction equipment with treads and a shovel in front go across U.S. Highway 78 around 3:30 a.m., North Charleston Police wrote in their report. A few minutes later, they got a burglary call from a business that was heavily damaged and saw the excavator slowly heading away, police said. Several cars immediately joined in the very slow speed pursuit. The excavator was going so slow that the cruisers would have to briefly stop several times a minute to not pass the construction equipment. They had their blue lights and sirens on and told the excavator driver over their loudspeakers that he was under arrest and needed to stop. Other cruisers blocked traffic. The chase went on for an hour and 12 minutes before the excavator drove on to the Charleston County Fairgrounds property, where it got stuck. The driver tried to run, but was followed by a drone until a police dog and handler caught up, authorities said. The 53-year-old driver of the excavator was charged with failure to stop for a blue light and two counts of malicious injury to real property and remained in the Charleston County jail on a $22,000 bond, according to jail records.

Texas AG Paxton Urges Action Against Rising Antisemitic Violence
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joined a coalition of state attorneys general in urging federal law enforcement to intensify efforts against antisemitic terrorism. The multistate letter, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, calls for enhanced coordination between state and federal agencies. The push comes amid rising antisemitic violence nationwide, including recent attacks in Washington, D.C., and Boulder, Colorado. State officials say these incidents underscore the urgent need for a comprehensive government response. The South Carolina-led initiative specifically cited the murders of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C. It also referenced an illegal alien who set fire to participants at a Boulder rally supporting Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The letter praised existing FBI and DOJ efforts while advocating for expanded collaboration. State attorneys general emphasized that antisemitic terrorism demands the 'full force of government response.' 'Since the horrific October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks against the people of Israel, we've seen a rise in radical anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric on campuses and communities across our country,' said Paxton. 'We've also tragically seen an alarming and heartbreaking increase in domestic terrorism targeted at the Jewish community.' Paxton pledged continued action against what he called 'rampant anti-Israel hatred.' He vowed to work with federal partners to combat domestic terrorism. 'I will not rest in working to stop these hateful, unconscionable acts of violence and defeating the rampant anti-Israel hatred and antisemitism growing in this country,' Paxton stated. 'I am proud to stand with Israel and will always do everything within my power to partner with federal law enforcement to root out domestic terrorism and antisemitism.' The attorney general's letter represents a coordinated state-level response to antisemitic violence. It signals growing concern among state officials about hate crimes targeting Jewish communities.
