Summary
<p>Alex Murdaugh's former housekeeper, Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson, joins Nancy Grace. </p> <p>South Carolina's Supreme Court has granted Alex Murdaugh's request for a new trial in the murders of his wife and son. At the heart of the appeal and review is whether former South Carolina Chief Justice Jean Toal fairly denied Murdaugh a new murder trial. The Supreme Court could reverse or overturn that ruling – and could order the court to give him a new trial.</p> <p>Another allegation is that claims that Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill, being involved in talking improperly to jurors. A hearing was held with Judge Jean Toal presiding one juror, identified as Juror Z, said Becky Hill told jurors to watch Murdaugh "closely" and "made it seem like he was already guilty." When asked if this influenced her vote to find Murdaugh guilty, the juror said “Yes, ma’am.” Toal said Becky Hill was not a credible witness and denied Murdaugh a new trial. </p> <p>Joining Nancy Grace Today:</p> <ul> <li>Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson - Murdaugh's Former Housekeeper</li> <li>Regina Ward - Criminal Defense Attorney / Law Firm of Regina B.
