An appeals court in South Carolina is allowing Alex Murdaugh to ask a judge to throw out his murder convictions and life sentence and get a new trial after his lawyers accused the court clerk in his trial of influencing the jury
. The one-paragraph decision Tuesday likely opens the door for a full hearing where witnesses who would have to testify under oath could include Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill, the jurors who deliberated a few hours after the six-week trial and even Judge Clifton Newman, widely praised for overseeing the case. A time and place or the scope of the hearing will be determined later. But even if his conviction is overturned, Murdaugh won't walk out of prison.
Hill has spoken little publicly about the allegations and her lawyer didn't respond to a text message Tuesday. But the author who helped her write a self-published book called “Behind the Doors of Justice: The Murdaugh Murders' asked people to give Hill the same presumption of innocence they were supposed to give Murdaugh during the trial. Co-author Neil Gordon said Hill was professional, soft-spoken and never pressured anyone.
