Murdaugh was found guilty on two charges of first-degree murder for the 2021 killings of his wife, Maggie, and son Paul.
"Hill invented a story about apost to remove a juror she believed might not vote guilty. Ms. Hill pressured jurors to reach a quick verdict, telling them from the outset of their deliberations that it"shouldn't take them long," the defense team wrote in the filing sent toMurdaugh defenses says: during trial the Colleton County Clerk of Court, Rebecca Hill, instructed jurors not to be “misled” by evidence presented in Mr. Murdaugh’s defense.
According to the filing, the defense also accused Hill of telling a juror"that everything Mr. Murdaugh has said has been lies." Meanwhile, during the trial, Murdaugh testified in his own defense. During his testimony, he confirmed that he lied to investigators about where he was when his wife and son were killed. He testified that it was his voice on a recording that prosecutors used to put him at the scene of the murders. Murdaugh previously said that he was not home the night they were killed, and he said he lied because of"paranoid thinking" that he blamed on his addiction to painkillers.
"I don't know why I tried to turn him over," Murdaugh told the jury."I mean, my boy's laying face down. He's done the way he's done. His head was the way his head was. I could see his brain laying on the sidewalk. I didn't know what to do."
