Disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh is set to stand trial on alleged financial crimes at the end of the month, but his defence team says it’s impossible to find 12 jurors in Beaufort County impartial to his case.
A recent court filing revealed that 90 per cent of a potential jury pool had returned pretrial questionnaires which stated they had extensive knowledge of the case in which the former lawyer was convicted earlier this year of killing his wife and son and shared strong opinions on him.
