Convicted killer Alex Murdaugh was back in court on Tuesday, January 16th, appearing in front of a new judge as he argues his case for a new trial. Retired South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal will preside over Tuesday’s status conference at the Richland County Courthouse. Tuesday’s status hearing could determine who will take the stand later this month when Toal hears arguments that Murdaugh deserves a new trial. Murdaugh was convicted for the June 2021 murders of his wife, Maggie, and their son, Paul, at the family’s hunting property in rural Colleton County. Murdaugh’s defense team filed a motion for a new trial alleging jury tampering on the part of Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. Murdaugh’s defense team filed a brief on Jan. 12 listing potential witnesses they could call. Those names included several jurors, state prosecutor Creighton Waters, and Judge Clifton Newman. “The state must call Ms. Hill to deny the allegations that she tampered with the jury,” the brief states, adding that depending on her testimony, Murdaugh’s team might call additional witnesses as rebuttal witnesses. Hill’s son, Jeffrey Hill, the former IT director for the Colleton County Courthouse, was also listed as a potential witness.
