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.
