Alex Murdaugh files a federal civil rights lawsuit against former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill, seeking relief after his double-murder convictions are overturned. Both outlets report that the South Carolina Supreme Court recently vacates Murdaugh’s convictions, concluding that Hill improperly influenced the jury during his trial. In his lawsuit, Murdaugh alleges that Hill’s conduct violated his civil rights, framing the claim around jury tampering and the alleged improper impact on jurors. The complaint is directed at Hill in her role as court clerk, and Murdaugh argues that her actions undermined the fairness of the proceedings that led to his conviction for the murders of his wife and son. The sources do not provide additional details about the specific allegations in the lawsuit beyond the claim of jury tampering and improper jury influence. The reports also do not indicate the amount of damages sought or any response from Hill or her representatives. The case proceeds through the federal court system following the state appellate ruling that overturned Murdaugh’s convictions.
