Juror in Alex Murdaugh Double Murder Trial Speaks out on Court’s ‘Crazy’ Decision to Toss Convictions
A juror who helped convict Alex Murdaugh in the killings of his wife and son was left stunned by the South Carolina Supreme Court’s “crazy” decision Wednesday to overturn the verdict.
Juror Ami Williams insisted she was never swayed into convicting the disgraced legal scion in the grisly 2021 murders of his wife, Maggie, and 22-year-old son, Paul, after the state’s top court unanimously found that a court clerk improperly influenced his dramatic six-week trial.
Judges ruled that Colleton County court clerk Becky Hill tainted the 2023 trial by meddling with the jury.
“I never felt that the clerk of court was pushing an agenda or trying to push me to come to a certain verdict,” Williams told NBC News Wednesday. “Never felt that way about her at all.”
The shocked juror blasted the court’s decision to toss the murder convictions as “crazy” while hailing Hill – who oversaw the jury – for being “so gracious” and “super helpful.” (Read more from “Juror in Alex Murdaugh Double Murder Trial Speaks out on Court’s ‘Crazy’ Decision to Toss Convictions” HERE)
