Attorneys for Alex Murdaugh, 56, filed an appeal for a new murder trial on Tuesday, citing improper testimony and Becky Hill's alleged jury tampering.
This April, the disgraced legal scion was sentenced to an additional 480 months, on top of his two life sentences, for conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud, bank fraud, five counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and 14 counts of money laundering.

Prosecutors allege that Murdaugh used his power and family influence in the Lowcountry to take on clients' cases, win them "significant funds" and then keep a decent portion of the earnings for himself.
