Alex Murdaugh's lawyers slam court clerk's 'illegal' behavior as they push for new trial
Fox News
In a TV interview Wednesday, Alex Murdaugh's lawyers accused court clerk Rebecca Hill of jury tampering and said their client deserves a new trial based on her "illegal" conduct.
"Any time there’s outside influence in the sanctity of the jury room, it is improper," Griffin said. Rebecca Rosenberg is a veteran journalist and book author with a focus on crime and criminal justice. Email tips to rebecca.rosenberg@fox.com and @ReRosenberg.
The defense team alleges Hill had inappropriate, private chats with the jury foreperson and presented false information to the judge to get a juror she thought was sympathetic to Murdaugh kicked off the panel.
