A federal judge has dismissed the civil lawsuit filed by Alex Murdaugh against the former Colleton County clerk whose actions involving jury interference ultimately resulted in the reversal of his double murder conviction. The ruling eliminates one of several legal battles surrounding the high-profile case that has captivated national attention.
The clerk’s conduct during jury proceedings played a decisive role in prompting the court to overturn Murdaugh’s original guilty verdict. The dismissal represents a significant development in the sprawling legal aftermath of a case that has involved multiple trials, appeals, and civil disputes.
Murdaugh, who was convicted in the 2021 deaths of his wife and son, has pursued various legal remedies since the initial conviction was vacated. The federal judge’s decision to throw out the civil case further complicates the ongoing litigation tied to the Colleton County murders.
