Murdaugh Wins Right to Seek New Trial Over Jury Tampering Claims

Murdaugh was convicted in February 2023 of killing his wife and son in 2021.
His lawyers allege the court clerk improperly influenced the jury against him.
An appeals court ruled Murdaugh can pursue a new trial over the allegations.
Even if his conviction is overturned, Murdaugh remains jailed for financial crimes.
The case now goes back to circuit court for a potential evidentiary hearing.
