Description

There will be no new double murder trial for Alex Murdaugh, despite the fact that one juror says her vote was influenced by comments made by Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill.  According to the Juror Z,   “She made it seem like he was already guilty.”  Hill allegedly made comments such as "watch him closely" and "watch his body language."  During Juror Z's testimony, she was asked by Judge Jean Toal if her verdict based entirely on the testimony,  evidence,  and law presented  in this case. The juror answered yes.  She was also asked if she heard Becky Hill make any comment about this case before your verdict. Again Juror Z answered yes, and that the comments influenced her decision. 
Prosecutor Creighton Waters that in her affidavit the juror had responded that, "I voted guilty because I felt pressure by the other jurors."  After hearing all the testimony, Judge Toal ruled that the defense did not show that Hill's improper comment or question actually influenced the juror's verdict.
