The clerk of court accused of jury tampering in Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial has resigned.

The clerk of court accused of jury tampering in Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial has resigned, she announced Monday, almost two months after a judge ruled the allegations against the Colleton County, South Carolina, official were not enough to grant Murdaugh a new trial.

Hill strongly denied the allegations, which were explored in a hearing in late January at which a retired South Carolina Supreme Court chief justice questioned each of the 12 jurors.Several indicated they’d heard Hill make comments, but only one said it influenced her verdict. And the judge did not feel comments Hill made in the presence of the jury affected its guilty verdict.
