Attorneys on Alex Murdaugh’s defense team are announcing they’ll be filing a $600,000 lawsuit against former Colleton County Clerk of Court, Becky Hill.
“Well obviously they’ll be a change of venue, we’ll be doing it in another county. And obviously everybody has heard about it, read about it. I’m not sure I’d want a juror who was so unaware of what’s going on around them who hadn’t heard something about it,” says Harpootlian.
“This is not the trial of Ms. Hill. And issues about motives and so forth and the possible commission of crimes are not what this inquiry is about. It is about her contact if any with the juror, and what she said,” says Judge Jean Toal.
Alex Murdaugh was brought to the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro today for a motions hearing.
Murdaugh’s defense team requested the state turn over evidence in the double murder case of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh who were killed in Colleton County in June of last year.
