Description
A South Carolina judge has denied Alex Murdaugh's bid for a new double-murder trial after hearing allegations that jury tampering influenced the guilty verdict.
The convicted killer of his wife and son, disbarred attorney and admitted thief was in court for the hearing. One juror questioned Monday said comments by Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill during the trial made it seem like Murdaugh was already guilty.
But the juror also said pressure from other jurors persuaded her to vote to convict. All 12 said they stand by their guilty verdicts, and all but one said they weren't influenced by anything the clerk might have said.
