Juror in Murdaugh Trial Dismissed, Asks to Get Her 'Dozens Eggs' Before Leaving

Judge Clifton Newman made the announcement as the hearing resumed Thursday, revealing the court had received a letter from a member of the public indicating that a juror had"improper conversations" with at least three individuals and offered her opinion on evidence that had been presented in the case.

Newman said those individuals and the juror were interviewed by investigators and after a closed-door hearing in chambers this week, in which they"waffled" on the nature of the conversations, he determined the juror would be removed and replaced. The juror denied discussing the case with anyone, however, in at least one instance the conversation was recorded and played for the judge.

"Though it does not appear that the conversations were that extensive, it did involve the juror offering her opinion regarding evidence received up to that point in the trial," Newman said.
