WALTERBORO, S.C. — A juror was removed from the Alex Murdaugh double murder trial Thursday morning after the judge learned she had been talking about the case to her friends.

Alex Murdaugh is accused of fatally shooting his wife and younger son at the family's estate in June 2021. The disgraced South Carolina attorney was charged with their murders more than a year later.

The juror denied it when confronted about the issue in the chambers at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro on Tuesday, he said. Three witnesses were interviewed on Wednesday, which revealed that the juror had offered her opinion on the evidence presented in the trial to at least three people, the judge said.

The judge described her as a"great juror" who seemed"attentive to the case and performed well" and thanked her for her service.
