"Murdaugh Murder Trial Clerk Resigns Amid Jury Tampering Investigation"

The South Carolina court clerk accused of tampering with the jury during Alex Murdaugh's murder trial has resigned, citing the trial's national and international media interest and public scrutiny as a reason for her decision. The clerk, Rebecca Hill, is under investigation for allegedly influencing jurors' decision to convict Murdaugh. Despite her resignation, two ongoing investigations into her alleged interactions with the jury and the use of her elected position for personal gain continue. Murdaugh, a disbarred South Carolina lawyer, was found guilty of murdering his wife and son and received two consecutive life sentences without parole.
