Alex Murdaugh, a convicted killer and former attorney, will get another chance to appeal his murder conviction after the South Carolina Supreme Court agreed to review his case. Murdaugh's lawyers claimed that a former court clerk, Rebecca Hill, influenced the jury's decision through ethics violations and personal motives, but a lower court rejected the appeal. The Supreme Court has given Murdaugh's team 30 days to file an initial brief, and the case will now proceed to the next stage.
