A juror was removed from the jury that will soon deliberate the fate of disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh in his double murder trial because she discussed the case with other people.

Members of the media gather to photograph Alex Murdaugh as he is brought into the courtroom for his double murder trial at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, S.C., Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023. The 54-year-old attorney is standing trial on two counts of murder in the shootings of his wife and son at their Colleton County, S.C., home and hunting lodge on June 7, 2021.

“Though it does not appear the conversations were that extensive, it did involve the juror offering her opinion on evidence received up to that point in the trial,” Newman said.. Investigators said his 22-year-old son, Paul, was shot twice with a shotgun and his 52-year-old wife, Maggie, was shot four or five times with a rifle outside dog kennels on their Colleton County property on June 7, 2021.
