Disgraced legal dynasty heir Alex Murdaugh will be given a new trial for the murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, following a bombshell ruling.
The South Carolina Supreme Court announced on Wednesday that the five justices had voted unanimously to overturn Murdaugh's conviction for the June 2021 slayings after the Lowcountry's so-called 'trial of the century' was marred by jury tampering at the hands of the court clerk, Becky Hill. In the 5-0 ruling, the justices issued a scathing reprimand of Hill, writing that she 'egregiously attacked Murdaugh's credibility' throughout his March 2023 trial as she tried to influence the jury to return a guilty verdict.
Murdaugh will not walk free from prison as he is serving separate 40-year and 27-year sentences on a slew of financial crimes
