YouTube Description
as posted by the channelConvicted killer Alex Murdaugh was denied a new trial by a South Carolina judge on Monday after his defense team accused a court clerk of tampering with the jury.
Murdaugh’s lawyers claimed Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill swayed the jury by suggesting they watch Murdaugh’s actions and body language while he testified. But Judge Jean Toal ruled that the disgraced legal scion’s lawyers didn’t prove that the comments influenced whether they found him guilty of killing his wife and one of his sons.
The decision comes after a juror on the panel said under oath Monday that the clerk’s recommendations made him seem guilty and those comments contributed to her convicting Murdaugh.
“She made it seem like he was already guilty,” said the unnamed woman, who then replied in the affirmative when asked if Hill’s instructions had affected her guilty vote.
Hill is under investigation for allegedly trying to convince jurors to convict Murdaugh.
