Murdaugh 'Egg Juror' Seeks Unsealing of 2023 Jury-Tampering Files

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 20

Myra Crosby, the juror removed before deliberations in Alex Murdaugh’s 2023 murder trial, filed a May 18 motion asking the South Carolina Supreme Court to lift protective orders on sealed jury-tampering records.
The filing says the records should now be public because prosecutors have acknowledged the investigation into former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill is over and produced insufficient evidence for criminal charges.
A transcript attached to the motion quotes 11th Circuit Solicitor Rick Hubbard saying investigators did not have enough evidence to secure an indictment or prove jury tampering beyond a reasonable doubt.
Crosby became known as the “Egg Juror” after asking to retrieve her eggs and purse when dismissed; Murdaugh’s lawyers later argued her removal fit a broader effort by Hill to push jurors toward a guilty verdict.
The request keeps scrutiny on the fallout from one of South Carolina’s highest-profile murder trials, even after the jury-tampering probe ended without charges.

With Murdaugh's conviction overturned due to a tainted jury, can a fair retrial even be possible?
