So, you’re telling me that someone who has sodomized the legal profession for decades, used his status and privilege to gain advantage over opposing counsel, and screwed clients out of millions of dollars is…wait for it.…complaining about an alleged “inside job” to secure a guilty verdict against him? The irony…

So true. The lowcountry legal community abounds with tales of rulebreaking, trickery, sandbagging, coercion of juries, and all kinds of dirty tricks associated with Murdaugh and his firm. Not sure what really happened here/who to believe but it would be long-delayed karma if the clerk of court pulled a fast one to nail the ultimate crook of the lowcountry and ensure he didn’t pull a fast one of his own to ensure a holdout juror.
“The Egg Lady” broke this case wide open again. Can you imagine smoke breaks decided the trial? You could not make this up if you were Don Winslow or Stephen King!
I feel confident that if what Poot has alleged happened actually occurred , that SLED will take the necessary action. Mark Keel does not put up with dishonesty, malfeasance or underhandedness and if any agents were involved he would have no problem seeing them prosecuted along with the Clerk. I would put the integrity of SLED and its leadership far above that of any federal agency especially the FBI.
Egg lady’s ex must have posted it. Someone isn’t going to just make that up, then deleted it and now doesn’t want to get hit with charges or lawsuit.
Not sure if the other claims about jury tampering by Hill will have any substance.
The question I have is did Judge Newman tell the jury to discard any instructions Hill may have given them? So far we have only heard the defense claims, which would leave out how the judge responded and instructed the jury. Everyone is just rushing to conclusions without all the info.
Woah Woah Woah! Hold the phone! Let me get this straight! Am I reading and understanding this news article correctly???
According to this article, Newman gave multiple ORDERS and Instructions to jurors not to discuss their views of the case with ANYONE. Correct? Okay got it ?
Skip down to juror affidavit alleging that Becky Hill summoned egg juror to her office. (I’d be getting a subpoena for the bailiff that brought egg juror to BH’s office to confirm this happened). Moving along…. At the end of this private meeting, “The juror said Hill then proceeded to ask her if she was inclined to vote guilty or not guilty. The juror responded she had not made up her mind yet and wanted to hear all the evidence before deciding.” VIOLATION OF JUDGE NEWMAN’s ORDER #1 and obvious misconduct on Becky’s part for asking! But here’s where it gets real sticky IMO….
Per this article, prior to even closing arguments by prosecutors and defense… ON THE RECORD “February 28, 2023 – two days before the verdicts – during which Newman discussed the Facebook post with the juror. “NEWMAN THEN ASKED HER IF SHE HAD MADE UP HER MIND REGARDING MURDAUGH’s GUILT OR INNOCENCE,“ and she responded, “I haven’t. I was trying to wait on closing arguments because those are usually pretty good.”
EXCUSE ME?!? YOU’RE TELLING ME (ON THE RECORD) THAT JUDGE NEWMAN SET THIS JUROR UP BY VIOLATING HIS OWN ORDER ASKING A JUROR ABOUT THEIR OPINION ON A DEFENDANT’S GUILT OR INNOCENCE (PRIOR TO CLOSING ARGUMENTS)?!?! AND NO ONE IN THIS MEETING CALLED FOR A MISTRIAL?!?! STOP! JUST STOP SOUTH CAROLINA!!! Yall have been voted off the island! Yall doing too much corruption down there in the low low low country. Dick and Jim y’all are fired too! Seems the only person in that meeting aware of their responsibilities NOT TO DISCUSS THEIR OPINIONS ON THE CASE, is this damn egg juror! But they sure got their way didn’t they? She got gone ?.
Do I think judge asking her if she had made up her mind seemed like a relevant question considering all the drama and rumors surrounding her? Yes of course! I would have wanted to ask her same thing! But guess what? It would have been none of my business and it was none of Judge Newman’s business either! She chose the nicest southern way possible not to violate Judge Newman’s OWN ORDER DIRECTING HER NOT TO DISCUSS THE CASE OR HER OPINIONS OF IT WITH ANYONE!!! ?????
If Becky Hill and/or Judge Newman think they have the right or special authority to ask jurors their opinions on a defendant’s guilt or innocence PRIOR TO CLOSING ARGUMENTS, then we all do!!! Period! New trial please and thank you kindly ma’am!
What if egg juror had been an idiot and answered…. Well your honor, I’m leaning towards guilty based on the evidence thus far, but I’m holding out for closing arguments. Would we even be in this mess? Obviously, Dick and Jim were asleep at the wheel during that whole entire meeting on February 28th! Maybe that little twist in wording of a response would have woken them up that their client’s due process rights were blatantly being violated the whole meeting IMO!
Don’t even get me started on how everyone just completely ignored and didn’t think to ask ole Becky Boo how exactly she “heard about” the mysterious email complaint that was sent to judge Newman directly the week before she had the bright idea to make up the fake facebook post. No one? Really? No one thought to ask how “Becky got access to” judge newman’s private emails? Was it newman’s clerk or secretary who gossiped with Becky about this email alleging juror misconduct? Hmmm… Surely it wasn’t Judge Newman himself, discussing serious matters like that with busy body Becky??? I’d be willing to bet her wiretapping shenanigans have something to do with how she found out… By the way…. Is this tattle tale email the one who came from the leaked YouTube video girl that secretly videotaped Dick and Jim coming to interview her??? Why isn’t the person who made the allegations being subpoenaed? How tangled is this web? Just asking….
I think there has been some confusion. The email from the YouTube viewer about Lucas Pearce’s ex wife and the email from a member of the public regarding 785 are two separate emails. I think there has been a big misunderstanding here. I have spoken personally to the lady who sent the email about 785 and she is not the same person who sent the email about the YouTube comments. And I do have proof of this but can’t upload pictures here obviously. I would be more than happy to provide them if Jenn or Will were to contact me tho!

“That’s just not fair…”
“You don’t say?”

G, are you really Mark Keel in disguise?
Why wasn’t this jury sequestered?
Or, don’t we do that in South Carolina?
I hope that any investigation will look into the bank accounts of those now changing their story.
Egg lady’s ex must have posted it. Someone isn’t going to just make that up, then deleted it and now doesn’t want to get hit with charges or lawsuit.

Unbelievable. You can’t make this stuff up!!
