(WPDE)– Alex Murdaugh’s defense team was back in a Columbia courtroom on Friday to continue their push for a retrial on his double murder conviction.
Murdaugh is serving two life sentences for the deaths of his wife and youngest son.
His defense team claims Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill tampered with the jury.
Justice Jean Toal examined one of the jurors from the murder trial due to a scheduling conflict they has preventing them from taking part in the retrial hearing next week.
Justice Toal will examine the rest of the jurors on Monday, Jan. 29.
