Alex Murdaugh has sued the South Carolina clerk who interfered the jury that found him guilty of killing his wife and son – just days after his conviction was overturned.
Murdaugh – a disbarred lawyer who remains behind bars for bilking his clients out of millions — is going after ex-Colleton County clerk Becky Hill for $600,000 after he claims she tried to sway jurors to convict him of killing his wife, Maggie, and son Paul in 2021, according to a federal lawsuit.
Hill was sentenced to probation last year after she copped to criminal charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and misconduct in office.
Murdaugh’s conviction was overturned by the state supreme court last week, which found Hill “placed her fingers on the scales of justice.”
Prosecutors have said they plan to retry Murdaugh, 57.
