[I am not Sherlock H.]

I'm seriously sitting here with my mouth hanging open. Can this case get crazier or can we be any more shocked?

How convenient it is found now with a factory reset? Sheesh I can't even....

MOO

Me too on this. Factory reset? Wow….. and isn’t it the case that the son of BH is some sort of IT person for the state offices or the like? It is upsetting to have followed this case for so long, and to have seen what has unfolded. In no small part it seems relating to BH and the role as clerk of the court. MOO

They played the recording of the Jury Foreperson from Friday and she plainly states that her verdict was guilty, she never heard BH try and influence the jury and that her private conversations were about something totally unrelated to the verdict.

Looks like D&J might be disappointed.

MOO

I noticed too. He was trying to chat with the deputy who brought him in - but the deputy seemed to ignore him.

Not looking as happy as he was when he bounced in smiling and glad handled everyone was it last week or the week before?

 

[bestill]

No judgment, but is the Judge female or male?

 

[Derph]

Ugh. Here we go again.

 

[bestill]

OMG - juror Z, first one said all that needed to be said! Murgdaugh on his way to a new trial, JMO

@cathyrusson

Murdaugh attorney Dick Harpootlian asks the judge not to use the term "merits" when questioning jurors. He said on Friday when questioning the foreperson, judge asked if Miss Becky had spoken to them about the "merits" of the case. He says that's a legal term and might be better to simply say "about the case" or something similar.


9:56 AM · Jan 29, 2024


Foreperson on Friday told the judge Miss Becky said something about: Today the defendant is going to testify, this is epic, or something like that. (Why would she say anything to jurors about that????)

First up is juror "Z".

Juror Z says clerk Miss Becky Hill told her to watch #AlexMurdauhgh's actions and to watch him closely.

BREAKING: Juror Z says YES, her verdict was influenced by clerk of court Becky Hill. "She made it seem like he was already guilty." '

 

[Weki]

First juror said she was influenced by Hill to think AM was guilty. Ugggghhhhhhhh

This is already off the rails.

 

[arielilane]

Here are the FOUR questions Judge Toal will ask each juror:

1. Was that an accurate statement about your verdict at that time?
2. Was your verdict based entirely on the testimony, evidence, and law presented to you in this case?
3. Did you hear Miss Becky Hill make any comment about this case before your verdict? If yes, what did Miss Hill say?
4. Was your verdict on March 2, 2023 influenced in any way by any communications by the clerk of court Becky Hill in this case?

Judge slapped ole Harpootlian down! Good job opening that can of worms, Dick

 

[girlhasnoname]

OMG the Judge says she's not quibbling with Harpoot. Request denied, take your seat. Wow

 

[minazoe]

it's a done deal, he will get a new trial! YAY..let them prove it better. the jury was tampered flat out. I can't help but feel he didn't do it..I just have trouble with it.I need a new trial..!!!!

@cathyrusson

This is what Judge Toal starts out saying to each juror then goes to the 4 questions: You rendered a verdict on March 2, 2023. That verdict was read in open court by the foreperson of the jury. Then the court said this: “Madam forelady and member of the jury, if that is your verdict, of each and every juror, let it be known by raising your hand.” The transcript then indicates that the jurors complied. The jury was individually polled and each was asked, was that your verdict? Each juror answered yes. Each juror was then asked, is that still your verdict? And each juror answered yes.
