Jurors in Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial will get a chance to see for themselves the rural hunting estate where his wife and son were killed. Crime scene visits by juries are relatively rare.

Keisha Lance Bottoms is ready to focus on her family and future but is keeping her options open regarding returning to public office.
