A federal judge has made a ruling in a lawsuit filed by Alex Murdaugh. The lawsuit sought $600,000 in legal fees from a former court clerk, Becky Hill. Murdaugh's lawsuit claimed Hill's misconduct affected his right to a fair trial.

The case involves Murdaugh's convictions for the deaths of his wife and son, which were overturned on appeal. The state Supreme Court cited Hill's comments to jurors as a factor in overturning the convictions. Further details on the case and the judge's ruling are available from the source, WXYZ Channel 7.
