A juror from the double murder trial of disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh said Wednesday she was stunned by the South Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to overturn his conviction, insisting she never felt pressured by the court official accused of influencing the jury.

“I never felt that the clerk of court was pushing an agenda or trying to push me to come to a certain verdict,” juror Amie Williams told NBC News. “Never felt that way about her at all.”

Williams described the court’s ruling as “crazy” and praised former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill, calling her “gracious” and “super helpful” during the trial.

Another juror, however, said Hill’s conduct undermined the fairness of the proceedings.

“I feel like justice wasn’t served, that he didn’t get a fair trial,” juror Mandy Pearce said Wednesday night.

In a unanimous ruling, the South Carolina Supreme Court concluded that Hill had “egregiously attacked” Murdaugh’s credibility through what the justices described as “shocking jury interference.”

The court cited testimony from Pearce — previously identified in legal filings only as Juror Z — who said Hill warned jurors to watch Murdaugh “closely” during his testimony and advised them “not to be fooled” by defense evidence.

Pearce said those remarks influenced her perception of the case.

“The words that were coming out of his mouth, that they weren’t true,” she said. “That he did it, that he murdered his wife and his son.”

Murdaugh, once a prominent figure in a powerful South Carolina legal family, was convicted in March 2023 in the killings of his wife, Margaret Murdaugh, and their 22-year-old son, Paul Murdaugh. He was sentenced to life in prison.

Prosecutors argued Murdaugh carried out the murders to divert attention from mounting financial crimes that threatened to expose years of fraud and theft involving millions of dollars taken from clients.

Although the high court overturned the murder conviction and ordered a new trial, Murdaugh remains in prison after pleading guilty to multiple federal and state financial crimes.

Alan Wilson, South Carolina’s attorney general, acknowledged that Hill’s conduct was inappropriate but argued it did not ultimately affect the outcome. He said prosecutors hope to retry Murdaugh before the end of the year.

In a statement, Murdaugh’s legal team said they welcomed the ruling and looked forward to a new trial conducted “consistent with the Constitution and the guidance this Court has provided.”
