A South Carolina judge has denied a new trial for disgraced lawyer Alex Murdaugh, who was convicted of killing his wife and son.

Retired State Supreme Court Justice Jean Toal heard testimony from the jury panel at Murdaugh’s first trial, including one juror who said her decision was directly influenced by comments from Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca “Becky” Hill.

Hill testified on Monday that she did not make any comments to jurors implying Murdaugh’s guilt.

The court did not believe certain aspects of the elected court clerk’s testimony – but ultimately denied the defendant’s bid for a new trial on the basis that Hill did not actually influence the jury.
