Murdaugh’s attorney previously accused Hill of jury tampering in court documents filed in the South Carolina Court of Appeals on Sept. 5 and obtained by Today. The documents stated that Hill was “advising them not to believe Murdaugh’s testimony” and “pressuring them to reach a quick guilty verdict.” Murdaugh’s team said they have sworn affidavits from two jurors about Hill’s alleged conduct.
At a press conference that day, Griffin alleged that Hill told jurors not to be “fooled” by Murdaugh’s testimony and to “watch out for his body language.”
Hill has reportedly denied the allegations and maintained her innocence to The Hampton County Guardian, per local outlets WYFF4 and Greenville Online.
Furthermore, her book co-author Neil Gordon said in a statement, “I would ask anyone following these alleged ‘jury tampering’ allegations to please reserve judgement until all the facts come out and all interviews are conducted by the proper, objective law enforcement authorities,” per Greenville Online.
