Murdaugh’s Lawsuit Against Clerk Dismissed | Durham News
Description
Alex Murdaugh’s bid to sue former Colleton County clerk Becky Hill for $600K in legal fees hit a major setback after a federal judge ruled the lawsuit had a “fatal flaw” — Murdaugh would’ve paid his lawyers regardless of Hill’s alleged jury interference. The case stems from the South Carolina Supreme Court overturning his 2023 murder convictions, citing Hill’s shocking jury tampering. Though the judge dismissed the suit without prejudice — meaning Murdaugh’s team can refile — they’re already planning an appeal to the Fourth Circuit. Murdaugh’s new trial on the murder charges is scheduled for April 5, 2027.
