Murdaugh court clerk hinted at 'personal relationships' during murder trial, prior to tampering allegations
Fox News
The motion for a new trial comes days after Fox Nation aired the docuseries "The Fall of the House of Murdaugh," featuring a sit-down interview with Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill.
Murdaugh's defense team also alleged that Hill had "frequent private conversations with the jury foreperson" to sway the panel toward a guilty verdict. Yael Halon is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to yael.halon@fox.com.
"Ms. Hill did these things to secure for herself a book deal and media appearances that would not happen in the event of a mistrial," the filing alleged. "Ms. Hill betrayed her oath of office for money and fame."
