00:00 Alex Murdaugh slams court clerk over shocking murder case comments.

00:04 Alex Murdaugh's team is speaking out against a court official who appeared in a Netflix series about his murder case.

00:10 Six months after Murdaugh received two life in prison sentences for murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul,

00:15 his attorney called out Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill over allegations she made in Season 2 of Murdaugh Murders,

00:22 a seven scandal which dropped on Netflix September 20.

00:25 "I had a feeling from our time together with the jury out at Mozelle that it was not going to take our jury long to make the decision in this case,"

00:32 Hill said in the series.

00:33 "It's just called that women's intuition."

00:35 Hill, who released the book Behind the Doors of Justice, The Murdaugh Murders in July based on her experience in the courtroom,

00:41 further alleged that she believes Murdaugh, who had been a prominent South Carolina lawyer,

00:45 received help after killing his wife and son on their Mozelle estate in South Carolina in 2021.

00:51 "I do think Alex pulled the trigger, and then I think he had help with cleaning up everything that needed cleaning up," Hill,

00:57 who is an elected official, said on screen.

00:59 "And what we had left was the crime scene that took us to the trial."

01:02 In response to her Netflix interview, Murdaugh's lawyer Jim Griffin told News Nation September 25 that he's flabbergasted that she is expressing her personal opinion that he murdered his wife and son and had help.

01:13 Reflecting on her shocking comments, Griffin shared, "I am reacting in real time to that. Frankly, that's the first I've heard of that.

01:20 There's a code of judicial ethics that applies to all court officials that says no judicial officer should give their opinion about someone's guilt or innocence while the case is pending and pending includes while the case is on appeal."

01:31 E. News has reached out to Murdaugh's lawyer, Hill, and the Colleton County Court for comment but hasn't heard back.

01:37 Murdaugh's attorney previously accused Hill of jury tampering in court documents filed in the South Carolina Court of Appeals on September 5 and obtained by Today.

01:45 The documents stated that Hill was advising them not to believe Murdaugh's testimony and pressuring them to reach a quick guilty verdict.

01:52 Murdaugh's team said they have sworn affidavits from two jurors about Hill's alleged conduct.

01:56 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.

02:04 Hill has reportedly denied the allegations and maintained her innocence to the Hampton County Guardian, per local outlets the LYF4 and Greenville Online.

02:12 Furthermore, her book co-author Neil Gordon said in a statement, "I would ask anyone following these alleged jury tampering allegations to please reserve judgment until all the facts come out and all interviews are conducted by the proper, objective law enforcement authorities," per.

02:27 In March 2023, the jury found Murdaugh guilty on two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon in the fatal shootings of Maggie, 52, and Paul, 22, at the Dog Kennels on their Moselle, SC property on June 7, 2021.

02:41 For his part, Murdaugh has maintained his innocence, saying on the stand that he never shot his wife and son at any time.

02:47 Bill Pullman just pulled off a chilling transformation.

02:50 The Independence Day actor stars as Alex Murdaugh, the South Carolina lawyer convicted earlier this year of killing his wife and son, in the newly released trailer for Lifetime's two-part film Murdaugh Murders, the movie.

03:02 Also starring Lauren Roebuck, Curtis Tweedy, and Donovan Stinson, the movie centers around the events leading up to the brutal slayings of Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and Paul Murdaugh, 22, who were found shot to death in June 2021 near the Dog Kennels at the family's hunting lodge, as well as the subsequent trial against Alex for their murders.

03:20 Ever shot one of these? Bill's character asks in the trailer, holding up a large rifle. It is accurate, I can promise you that.

03:27 In another scene, he denies his involvement in the crimes during an interrogation with the police. I wasn't at the kennels.

03:33 The teaser also depicts Alex's addiction to substances and Paul's own legal trouble stemming from a 2019 boating accident that killed 19-year-old Mallory Beach.

03:42 Out on October 14 and 15, the movie will premiere seven months after Alex was convicted on two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during a commission of a violent crime.

03:52 Though the 57-year-old previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, he received consecutive life sentences for the deaths of his wife and his youngest son.

04:00 On September 5, Murdaugh's lawyers filed a motion for a new trial on the grounds of alleged jury tampering purpose.
