Alex Murdaugh’s lawyers have filed court papers demanding a new trial for the convicted murderer.
They are accusing the court clerk of jury tampering.
Murdaugh is currently serving two life sentences for the murders of his wife, Maggie, 52, and son, Paul, 22.
Two days after his sentencing, Murdaugh’s attorneys appealed the convictions. They are accusing Rebecca Hill, the Colleton County clerk, of tempering with the jury by advising them not to believe Murdaugh’s testimony, pressuring them to reach a guilty verdict, and misrepresenting material information to the trial judge.
They also suggest that Hill’s motivation for doing this was to secure a book deal.
The attorneys claim that Hill “betrayed her oath of office for money and fame.”
Hill released a book, Behind the Doors of Justice: The Murdaugh Murders, in late July about the Murdaugh murders.
It took the jury less than three hours to reach a guilty verdict for Murdaugh.
