Alex Murdaugh: Convicted killer’s attorneys file motion for new trial, allege tampering

Attorneys who represent convicted killer Alex Murdaugh have filed a motion for a new trial amid allegations the Colleton County clerk of court tampered with the jury. The defence attorneys claimed the Colleton County clerk of court tampered with the jury during Murdaugh’s six-week murder trial by advising them “not to believe Murdaugh’s testimony and other evidence presented by the defense, pressuring them to reach a quick guilty verdict and even misrepresenting critical and material information to the trial judge in her campaign to remove a juror she believed to be favorable to the defence.”
