South Carolina Supreme Court to Hear Murdaugh Appeal
News summary

Alex Murdaugh, convicted of murdering his wife and son, is appealing his conviction, claiming jury tampering by former court clerk Becky Hill. The South Carolina Supreme Court has agreed to review the case after earlier denials for a retrial. Murdaugh's lawyers argue that Hill influenced the jury to secure a conviction for personal profit, as she aimed to publish a book about the trial. Hill allegedly made improper comments and engaged in private discussions with jurors, which Murdaugh's attorneys claim constitutes 'unprecedented jury interference.' Although a lower court dismissed these claims, the Supreme Court's decision allows the appeal process to proceed. Murdaugh, serving two life sentences, maintains his innocence amid ongoing legal battles.
