Alex Murdaugh Seeks New Trial Over Alleged Jury Tampering

Rebecca Hill, Accused of Influencing Jury, Must Testify at Evidentiary Hearings Starting January 29

Alex Murdaugh, convicted for the murders of his wife and son, is seeking a new trial over allegations of jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk of Court, Rebecca Hill.
Hill is accused of having private conversations with jurors that may have influenced their decision to convict Murdaugh.
Murdaugh's defense team alleges that Hill was motivated to sway the jury to secure a book deal and media appearances.
Former South Carolina Supreme Court Justice Jean Toal, presiding over the case, ruled that Hill must testify at the hearing but emphasized that this is not a 'trial of Ms. Hill.'
Evidentiary hearings, set to begin on January 29, will determine whether Murdaugh will be granted a new trial.
