South Carolina Supreme Court Overturns Murdaugh Convictions; Murdaugh Sues Clerk
The South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions and life sentence, citing jury tampering by a court clerk, and ordered a new trial. This decision was unanimous and based on findings that a court official improperly influenced the jury during Murdaugh's trial.
Following the court's ruling, Alex Murdaugh initiated a federal civil rights lawsuit against Rebecca "Becky" Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court, alleging that she tampered with the jury during his 2023 murder trial. The lawsuit marks a new legal chapter in the ongoing proceedings surrounding Murdaugh's case in South Carolina.
