Disgraced Lawyer Alex Murdaugh Sues Court Clerk Over Jury Tampering Accusations

Alex Murdaugh, a disgraced lawyer whose double-murder conviction was overturned, has filed a lawsuit against court clerk Rebecca 'Becky' Hill alleging that she tampered with jury deliberations. The lawsuit claims that Hill's actions violated his civil rights and contributed to the reversal of his murder conviction. Murdaugh is seeking damages for the loss of his liberty and other personal losses due to the alleged jury tampering. He was initially convicted in 2022 but had his sentence commuted to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 20 years, pending an appeal.
