““shocking jury interference” by a court clerk who oversaw jurors during the 2023 trial meant that Mr. Murdaugh’s convictions must be overturned.”
Here is where our system fails. The clerk was not anywhere near the location of the murders, which are still there and evidence displays who did it, so why does that “overturn” a trial decision? If the evidence was there, it won’t change, and he is just as guilty as he was in the first trial. I didn’t see anywhere where the acts of the clerk were threatening to the jurors so they would be forced to not call it murder and him the participant in it. This is called a technicality, not the spirit of the law or even the evidence it provides.

The state did not prove he didn’t prove he did it.
