South Carolina attorney and convicted murderer, Alex Murda, is set to appear in court today as he seeks a new trial for the killings of his wife and son. Murda's defense team alleges that there was jury tampering during his original trial, claiming that the Colton County clerk of court influenced the jury's decision.
According to Murda's attorneys, the clerk of court reportedly instructed the jury not to believe their client and exerted pressure on them to reach a swift verdict. To support their claim, the defense plans to present testimony from the clerk of court herself, as well as members of the original jury.
