Buster Murdaugh Sues Netflix, Warner Bros. for Defamation

The son of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh claims documentaries falsely implicated him in a 2015 killing.

Buster Murdaugh filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix, Warner Bros., and other media companies.
The lawsuit alleges that documentaries falsely accused him of involvement in the death of Stephen Smith.
Smith's death was initially ruled a hit-and-run, but later investigations suggested it was a homicide.
Buster Murdaugh claims the allegations have damaged his reputation and caused mental anguish.
Legal experts suggest the defamation case could be challenging due to Buster's public figure status.
