South Carolina Supreme Court to Hear Alex Murdaugh's Jury Tampering Appeal

The decision could potentially lead to a new trial for the disgraced lawyer convicted of murdering his wife and son.

  • Murdaugh's lawyers allege former court clerk Rebecca Hill influenced the jury for personal gain.
  • Hill is accused of urging jurors to distrust Murdaugh's testimony and seek a quick verdict.
  • She faces 76 ethics violations and resigned amid the controversy.
  • Murdaugh is serving life sentences for murder and additional years for financial crimes.
  • The high court's ruling bypasses the usual appeals process, reflecting the case's significance.
