@Badgerlife It's not considered double jeopardy, it's considered continuing jeopardy. If convicted but new, exculpatory evidence is discovered (i.e. jury tampering) a new trial is granted and considered as a continuation of the first/original jeopardy. In the circumstances of this case it would not be double jeopardy.
As a juror, you should be well aware of your duty as a juror. I don't know if this particular juror was asleep when that happened, but given the length of the trial and the fact that she did have the opportunity to go to the judge with a complaint, and didn't, is very telling.
@@MT-tx7bu when I went through voir dire , the judge made us watch a video and everything else about jury responsibility etc. grand jury responsibility etc etc… it lasted all day long. This was all set up!
Or a "book deal" like Becca Boo, aka, the former Clerk of Court. 🙄 It's frustrating how easily people can be bought by perceived "fame." I watched the retired Supreme Court Judge question all of the jurors. This particular juror went back and forth with her answers, and in my opinion, didn't seem credible.
The jurors claims is so absurd that i think the juror herself needs to be investigated. I feel she was PAID in some form or fashion to say that the clerks comments is what made her vote guilty. With ALL of the evidence, ALL o the testimony, there is no way a single comment or comments, is what influenced her decision. She was either PLANTED there by Alexs people to use as a "just in case he got a guilty verdict" or they paid her to make these claims. We all know Alex's people dont play fair and cheat. White southern wealthy males ALWAYS cheat in some form. The juror is either bought off or EXTREMELY EXTREMELY STUPID.
True. These genteel southerners are full of deceit and corruption. And the good ole boy club is alive and well. Somebody got paid off but didn't he just plead guilty to fraud for stealing all that,settlement money? If so, he'll do some time on that. His goose is cooked.
I am from coastal SC. He is a monster and a murderer! When I was 23 I dated a man, more than twice my age that could have been his twin! He was evil also, and when I heard Murdaugh speak, with the whining arrogant accent, it was like a visceral gut punch! I am telling you he is guilty as sin! Becky Hill was an ifiot and should probably be fired if she hasn't already! It took that jury 45mins to convict him! Maggie wanted to leave him, and he lied to her to get her back out there that night! She was extremely suspicious and told her friend that "he is up to something!" She did not trust him. He was panicked about having yo pay out for Paul's boating accident! And what he did to those children, trying to say that one of them was driving the boat, that killed a beautiful innocent young lady, instead of Paul! Disgusting! Can you imagine poor Paul, getting spun around by the first shot and seeing his father before he shot him a second time! And poor Maggie running to her baby and seeing her husband, then poit the gun at her! She tried to run as he shot her repeatedly! In the Netflix doc, it very clearly shows his brother loading guns into his truck and taking them away! He did this! He is guilty! He should be under the damn jail! Not to mention all of his other grievous financial crimes against everyone he ever represented!!!
Im southern myself..and that accent and how he speaks just gets me beyond... what you say is true.. let them convict him again.. he is just pulling old rotten family strings... maybe that area needs to shun all that family....
@@deborahpoole9710absolutely. Becky Hill should have to face charges. The prosecutors worked so hard to put this case together and did such a good job during the trial, then Becky Hill demonstrated such reckless regard with her position.
He says "they are dead aren't they?!" He said on the 911 call they weren't breathing and one had a hole in their head...he knew they were dead!! It's part of his act!
He also said on his 911 call "this is Alex Murdaugh From .." And then said his address. You are Not that precise when you are in total shock. So.... GUILTY
@@5GreenAcres I concur, yet who are you to judge anyone without a conviction a pass such a disparaging comment. He was a young boy and she was his mother, no premeditated act in that case.
1. Jurors have a responsibility to report misconduct within deliberations immediately, not after the fact. 2. Was the jury pool polled when the verdict was read? If so, the juror had a second responsibility to make it known that this was not her verdict. 3. SC Supreme Court should uphold the verdict.
My friend visited w murdaugh defense attorney at CrimeCon. She asked him, “ Can you tell me one reason why I should believe Murdaugh was not guilty?” His reply, “Nope.”
And that is very true. I believe his strategy is he rather go to jail for financial crimes, which most likely is a minimum security prison versus going to jail for double murder being in a maximum security prison 🤔
Did not all of the jury's decisions at the end of the trial agree that he was guilty after being polled?. She should have spoken up right then and there. He is just trying to get out of jail.
What a waste of taxpayer money. This may prove people with money and power/contacts don't answer to the same justice as regular folks. He treated people /terribly and thought he could steal from people who truly needed it. I hope justice will prevail in this second trial. If not, he WILL have to answer to the one and true righteous judge, the God of all creation one day. God cannot be bought and he knows the heart. I wouldn't want to be Murdaugh. Continuing prayers for all the families involved in all of his shenanigans. ❤🙏 Jane
That’s what I’m saying I mean sure she had some opinions on Alex as everyone else in Hampton county did but that doesn’t change the fact that Maggie and Paul both ended up dead on the property and he was the only one there
She made a book deal and told the jury not to believe anything he says. Furthermore, she had a juror dismissed by claiming her ex-husband had posted about the trial. Her son was the I.T. manager at the court and passed on information to her.
The former Clerk of Court is a moron. I hate to name-call, but she wanted her 15 minutes of fame, and instead, she received "infamy." Not exactly what she expected. Ole Becca Boo thought she was untouchable. Welp, she's not. And now justice for the family(ies) is in jeopardy because of *her* actions.
@@angelasandersbooks It is jury tampering.And courts should pay attention to their employees specially in these kinds of high stakes trials.There is no harm in having legislations preventing employees of govermental jobs from profiting from their job.He will be convicted again,but of course after huge costs,and more money for his lawyers.0
I'm only a few minutes in, and I can not even believe this guy may get yet another chance. This guy was privileged his entire existence, along with those before him. To me, getting a new trial, would just be a continuation of that exact situation. I'm just not understanding how someone saying "a guilty verdict would be better for a book deal", is a reason to get a whole new trial and waste more taxpayer dollars. I mean, how many other jurors said the same thing? Was this juror going to get money out of this book deal? This is ridiculous already. I'm so sick of hearing his name. EDIT: The more I think about it, I feel like a "not guilty" verdict, probably would've been better for a book deal. Look at Casey Anthony, it's a perfect example. Even just fairly recently, Casey came out with a short documentary series on Peacock about it, which was then followed by her parents making their own and taking lie detector tests (spoiler: they passed). Because people were so convinced she was guilty, but the jury saying otherwise, it got a whole lot more attention because it was controversial and to this day, one of the worst murder cases in the world. So considering how many years ago it was, and the fact that people are still using it for books, movies and documentaries, it just seems like it would've been better for the book deal to have a "not guilty". If he gets a new trial, whats going to be different? It's more money wasted, and considering what he stole, they don't need to waste any more on him. Besides, there's been plenty more material about him and his trial and all of that now, than there was then! If the topic of a book is enough to taint the jury and verdict, how would it be any different when its gotten even more publicity and is so well known?!
He's such a manipulator and knows all the tricks on the book. He was a lawyer, so he'll try to come up with something. But he's guilty. Most likely, he planned it with his friends, the court, and judges. He knows everyone in the town. He helped people so people would lie for him for money.
He wasn't a good lawyer..he was an ambulance chaiser.easy buck man...plus a good lawyer wouldn't testify..his testify hung him..when he lied about the kennels..he's done
@@anitaclue9868so what are they going to do to the jurors, what consequences? She should have some because she lied! Didn't follow judges instructions!
Thank you, NancyGrace. Are there any new developments in the Stephen Smith case? I think about his poor mom and sister often and pray they get some answers.
You know he won't walk free? he is serving 40 years in the federal case. And would be transferred to a federal prison if he ever got the state murder conviction overturned. The best he can hope for is a new trial ( which he should get, not because I think he is not guilty, but to protect the process for everyone) A juror said she was influenced in her guilty vote by the court clerk. There should be a new trial. Otherwise, we are a banana republic. He will 99% be found guilty in the new trial, but even if not, there must be a new trial.
And she was a lawyer. She should think like one. Unfortunately the issue is not “look what happened to Maggie and Paul”. The issue is if the court clerk exhibited inappropriate behaviour and conversations that impacted the jury. Nancy is all over the place.
The jury is always instructed by the judge to consider the evidence in reaching their verdict. Whatever anyone may have said to the jury does not matter.
So she was totally incapacitated as an adult, unable to physically sit there and listen and render him a true finding of guilty innocence because this one lady made some remarks? Both lawyers are making remarks during the course of the trial. Does that affect her where she’s rendered unable to physically freely think?? Sometimes I wonder if these people are paid off in someway secretly .
He still has 40 years to go just on the financial crimes part and I just cant see how a new trial would exonerate him of the murder charges. Evidence speaks for itself.
Someone needs to check juror Z’s bank records, and anything else where the payoff could be traced. Cause we all know she was paid a nice lump sum to say that.
"Yes, Maam"? A MAN is questioning her. Is she under the influence?? His wife thought he loved her. How sad. God WILL have the final word over this killer. And this killer's punishment will be FOREVER.
How long has this apocalypse been happening? Pre Roman Empire era till now? Egyptians were pretty crazy 😜 you think people were better before that or was it just that that big library burned down so it seemed quieter?
If this juror felt pressured or influenced in any way, she should have approached the judge about it. She could have expressed her observations and conflicting feelings so an alternate could step in or the court clerk be addressed before it spiraled to this degree. While the privacy and rights of a juror are to be protected, they should be made to understand the degree of seriousness their decision is to be held to. this is an abomination for the family. Admitted Criminals like Murdaugh don’t deserve this level of attention, money, and energy. The only influence this juror felt is by the defense team who approached her about her decision. That shouldn’t be allowed either
The speed of her being able to finish the book, motivation and money! The clerk holds all responsibility for putting her pockets before integrity of the courts/rules/laws! Hope this shit show helps in prevention of this court personal behavior in other cases! Heartbreaking in the worst ways
Regardless of how ridiculous what the juror is saying may be, the fact a court clerk made comments to jurors and people are more angry with the juror than the clerk is nuts. Do I think hes guilty? Yes. But it does not matter. The clerk takes an oath and has rules that apply to them. She allowed her feelings to interfere with her duty. She needs to be removed, and not ever be seated in a clerk position again. It's easy to say all this knowing that he is an animal and clearly guilty. But what if he was not guilty? We know he is, but WHAT IF. Clerk needs to not be in any position that has to do with our justice system. She screwed up big time. And there is not room for people who cannot maintain their oath, in our system.
It’s not like the jurors were threatened by this person - nor would they give a crap about this persons book deal enough to bow at her feet and do what she wants. Seriously this is nonsense
Guilty or not, court clerk was swaying folks to get a guilty plea for sales of her book, it was NOT fair regardless him being guilty or not, he gets a new trial and he should. Even though I would say guilty; under the law that was just wrong and it should have never happened. Give him a new trial and he will be given justice under a fair trial! I’m sure he will be guilty but at least he has a FAIR trial. Innocent until proven guilty. That’s the law .
Hmmm what could motive a juror. Money maybe. Wouldn't be the 1st time a juror took a payoff. I just can't believe this is even being considered. I know I wouldn't let one comment for a person change my mind.
Lady...I'm not saying he deserves another trial, but I do think you need to chill on making a juror feel bad for saying she felt pressured to render a certain verdict. I don't want him to walk free, but if that person said she felt pressured then BACK OFF! You weren't in all the spaces those jurors were so you don't know what that clerk ACTUALLY said to them.
Now we have Jenn Soto getting partial immunity she is another that can’t keep her story straight! SHE KNEW! That beautiful girl Maddie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ she didn’t even go to her 13th birthday. WICKED another case that is going to be farcical.
Nancy you’re wrong on this one. I’m sorry. That woman should have waited with all her book deal crap. She should have done everything under wraps then when he was found guilty let the book drop immediately she should have never chanced it.
@@tessremoc576 So, by seeing damage to the bodies, and he claimed he didn't touch or inspect them, he automatically knew they were shot? He didn't take Maggie's clothes off to look for holes in the body? How did he know Paul's skull damage was caused by being shot off and not by being bludgeoned? He knew right off they were shot cause he did it. That was my point. I guess it flew over your head.
The juror should have reported her assertion about the clerk of court right when it happened. Could the clerk have been bribed to blatantly attempt to interfere with the judicial process.
Hi @Nancy Grace. I’m in Australia so we don’t get any updates for this trial. I was wondering how is his surviving son doing and where is he now. Did they put the so. On the stand even though he was not there
He’s not going to walk free. He’s in jail for life for several other crimes.
Just the money he stolen will keep him behind bars for the rest of his life
But he won’t be with the killers he will be with the none violent crime offenders

There should be a new trial. Otherwise, we are a banana republic.
He will 99% be found guilty in the new trial, but even if not, there must be a new trial.
I agree with you completely!
@davidbamford1971 What is really scary, is that so many people don’t think so!
You're already a banana republic mate, hate to break it to you
Can't Nancy ever let a guest speak without interruption?! Holy smokes!🙃
Nope..she's been loud since the OJ case
And she was a lawyer. She should think like one. Unfortunately the issue is not “look what happened to Maggie and Paul”. The issue is if the court clerk exhibited inappropriate behaviour and conversations that impacted the jury. Nancy is all over the place.
He will be convicted again if he has a new trial! He needs a one way ticket to Hell!
He has that ticket!
Already HAS IT!!❤❤
Court clerk is repugnant and had no right to intervene with article 6 ! Right to a fair trial.
The jury is always instructed by the judge to consider the evidence in reaching their verdict. Whatever anyone may have said to the jury does not matter.
Oh no I can’t see him walking free
Unbelievable 😮
NOOOOOOOOOO. HECK NO🙏🙏
Good Job Becky Boo!
This is sad.
So she was totally incapacitated as an adult, unable to physically sit there and listen and render him a true finding of guilty innocence because this one lady made some remarks?
Both lawyers are making remarks during the course of the trial. Does that affect her where she’s rendered unable to physically freely think??
Sometimes I wonder if these people are paid off in someway secretly .
She was definitely influenced in some way to accuse the clerk of influencing her vote
Will this book writer Becky be writing 2 more books: how I influenced the first trial & trial #2??
@@1romancatholic she’ll definitely get more buys with those titles
This fiasco is just disgusting 😒
Love you Nancy your get to the pt and no bar holds is refreshing and the truth.
He still has 40 years to go just on the financial crimes part and I just cant see how a new trial would exonerate him of the murder charges. Evidence speaks for itself.
That is effectively a death sentence. Thou he would be eligible for parole in like 25-30 yrs. He definitely isn't going anywhere soon.
He won’t walk free with all those financial crimes. MAGGIE AND SON DESERVE JUSTICE😖
Urgh this man really gets on my wick .scotland 🏴
Ridiculous
He’s not gonna get out. There’s no way he’s gonna be found not guilty.
He’s never getting out even if he’s found not guilty! He’s also serving decades for his federal financial crimes.
Stunning and Very Upsetting ,Is So Dang Correct!
Someone needs to check juror Z’s bank records, and anything else where the payoff could be traced. Cause we all know she was paid a nice lump sum to say that.
Sounded like some money changed hands
"Yes, Maam"? A MAN is questioning her. Is she under the influence??
His wife thought he loved her. How sad.
God WILL have the final word over this killer. And this killer's punishment will be FOREVER.
Sounds Tome liked a payoff
I 100% agree. Definitely sounds coerced to me.
Going through this Apocalypse together observing these satanic times is hard. So much evil & people supporting evil doers.
How long has this apocalypse been happening? Pre Roman Empire era till now? Egyptians were pretty crazy 😜 you think people were better before that or was it just that that big library burned down so it seemed quieter?
God! PLEASE NO!
I can’t take listening to Alex say “PawPaw” even one more time.
😆that's so true
Of course it isnt feasible that one or two people could target paul over the death of that girl.
If this juror felt pressured or influenced in any way, she should have approached the judge about it. She could have expressed her observations and conflicting feelings so an alternate could step in or the court clerk be addressed before it spiraled to this degree. While the privacy and rights of a juror are to be protected, they should be made to understand the degree of seriousness their decision is to be held to. this is an abomination for the family. Admitted Criminals like Murdaugh don’t deserve this level of attention, money, and energy. The only influence this juror felt is by the defense team who approached her about her decision. That shouldn’t be allowed either
The speed of her being able to finish the book, motivation and money! The clerk holds all responsibility for putting her pockets before integrity of the courts/rules/laws! Hope this shit show helps in prevention of this court personal behavior in other cases! Heartbreaking in the worst ways
Regardless of how ridiculous what the juror is saying may be, the fact a court clerk made comments to jurors and people are more angry with the juror than the clerk is nuts.
Do I think hes guilty? Yes.
But it does not matter. The clerk takes an oath and has rules that apply to them.
She allowed her feelings to interfere with her duty.
She needs to be removed, and not ever be seated in a clerk position again.
It's easy to say all this knowing that he is an animal and clearly guilty. But what if he was not guilty? We know he is, but WHAT IF.
Clerk needs to not be in any position that has to do with our justice system.
She screwed up big time. And there is not room for people who cannot maintain their oath, in our system.

I maybe 2nd from uk ❤
Hi 🇬🇧 UK !
It’s not like the jurors were threatened by this person - nor would they give a crap about this persons book deal enough to bow at her feet and do what she wants. Seriously this is nonsense
Good thing Nancy “isn’t taking anyone’s side”, as she claims … 😆
Clerk that wrote the book should get a 10 yr prison sentence for obstruction of justice. This is ridiculous.
His lawyers get paid AGAIN, though.🙄
Guilty or not, court clerk was swaying folks to get a guilty plea for sales of her book, it was NOT fair regardless him being guilty or not, he gets a new trial and he should. Even though I would say guilty; under the law that was just wrong and it should have never happened. Give him a new trial and he will be given justice under a fair trial! I’m sure he will be guilty but at least he has a FAIR trial. Innocent until proven guilty. That’s the law .
But was the Z(ero) juror asked "Is this your verdict?" after they announced the verdict. Did she say "yes?!
I think he should absolutely have a new trial.
Hmmm what could motive a juror. Money maybe. Wouldn't be the 1st time a juror took a payoff. I just can't believe this is even being considered. I know I wouldn't let one comment for a person change my mind.
Justice must be blind. A defendant must receive a fair and unbiased trial, even if you have negative emotional feelings about the defendant.
That clerk definetely influenced the verdict and she belongs in jail for her own actions.
Lady...I'm not saying he deserves another trial, but I do think you need to chill on making a juror feel bad for saying she felt pressured to render a certain verdict. I don't want him to walk free, but if that person said she felt pressured then BACK OFF! You weren't in all the spaces those jurors were so you don't know what that clerk ACTUALLY said to them.

I was waiting for your reaction on this

Unbelievable! If he walks free, then the Justice System is completely Rotten. Shame, shame, shame on him!😢😢😢😢😢😢
Now we have Jenn Soto getting partial immunity she is another that can’t keep her story straight! SHE KNEW! That beautiful girl Maddie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ she didn’t even go to her 13th birthday. WICKED another case that is going to be farcical.
Nancy you’re wrong on this one. I’m sorry. That woman should have waited with all her book deal crap. She should have done everything under wraps then when he was found guilty let the book drop immediately she should have never chanced it.
Did they find the murder weapons?
No
What a waste of money to retry him. Won’t he spend the rest of his life in prison on the federal charges? It’s not like he’ll ever be free.
If he came up on them dead, then how did he know they were shot and not killed by other means?
He could see the damage to the bodies...duh.
@@tessremoc576 So, by seeing damage to the bodies, and he claimed he didn't touch or inspect them, he automatically knew they were shot? He didn't take Maggie's clothes off to look for holes in the body? How did he know Paul's skull damage was caused by being shot off and not by being bludgeoned? He knew right off they were shot cause he did it. That was my point. I guess it flew over your head.
The juror should have reported her assertion about the clerk of court right when it happened. Could the clerk have been bribed to blatantly attempt to interfere with the judicial process.

Hi @Nancy Grace. I’m in Australia so we don’t get any updates for this trial. I was wondering how is his surviving son doing and where is he now. Did they put the so. On the stand even though he was not there
