Judge denies new murder trial for Alex Murdaugh

A judge denied Alex Murdaugh's request for a new trial Monday in the homicides of his wife and son. Judge Jean Toal dismissed a motion filed by Murdaugh's attorneys last year that claimed the jury for the murder trial was tampered with by Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill, who they allege was protecting a book deal. Hill, who testified during the hearings over the motion, denied she tampered with the jury.
