January 1, Egg Juror Demands Release of BOMBSHELL Evidence Against Disgraced Court Clerk

Wyatt’s Take

• Former juror Myra Crosby is fighting to expose the full scope of jury tampering that tainted the Alex Murdaugh trial and led to his conviction being overturned
• Disgraced court clerk Becky Hill allegedly told jurors ‘not to be fooled’ by the defense — a stunning breach of judicial ethics that the state is now trying to keep under wraps
• The state claims it needs to redact videos to protect juror identities, but Crosby points out these same jurors already spoke publicly in court and on TV

A former juror in the Alex Murdaugh murder trial is demanding full transparency from South Carolina officials about alleged jury tampering that ultimately unraveled the high-profile conviction. Myra Crosby, dubbed the “egg juror” after a memorable courtroom moment, filed new court documents pushing for the release of the state’s investigation into former Colleton County court clerk Becky Hill.

Crosby earned her unusual nickname after being dismissed just hours before jury deliberations began. She famously asked the judge if she could retrieve a carton of fresh eggs and her purse from the jury room — a moment that captured national attention during the sensational trial.

But the real story isn’t about eggs. It’s about what Hill allegedly did to manipulate the jury that convicted Murdaugh of murdering his wife and son.

According to the investigation, Hill told jurors “not to be fooled” by Murdaugh’s defense team — a direct interference that violated every principle of fair trial procedures. That tampering eventually led South Carolina’s Supreme Court to unanimously overturn Murdaugh’s murder conviction, ruling that Hill’s actions directly compromised the integrity of the jury’s decision.

Now Crosby wants the full truth out in the open. She filed a Freedom of Information Act request in May demanding the release of all records related to Hill’s jury tampering.

The attorney general’s office responded by saying videos from the investigation cannot be released immediately because they may need parts blurred or removed to protect juror identities. But Crosby isn’t buying that excuse.

In her latest filing, she argued those redactions are completely unnecessary. The jurors already testified in open court about what happened. Several have appeared in television interviews and documentaries, speaking publicly about their experiences.

“Even if a few parts need to be hidden, that should not slow down the release of those records,” Crosby’s filing states.

It’s a reasonable point. If jurors have already gone public with their identities and stories, what exactly is the state protecting by keeping these records sealed?

The case has exposed serious problems in South Carolina’s judicial system. A court clerk with the power to influence jurors during a major murder trial represents a fundamental breakdown in the checks and balances that are supposed to guarantee fair proceedings.

Hill’s alleged misconduct didn’t just affect Murdaugh — though he certainly benefited from the overturned conviction. It undermined public confidence in the entire judicial process and raised troubling questions about how many other cases might have been tainted by similar interference.

The state’s reluctance to release the full investigation records only deepens those concerns. Transparency is essential when the integrity of the justice system itself is at stake.

Crosby’s fight for disclosure continues as the attorney general’s office weighs its response. The question remains: what exactly is South Carolina trying to hide?

Wyatt Matters

When court officials manipulate juries, every American’s right to a fair trial is at risk. This isn’t about protecting one disgraced killer — it’s about whether we can trust the people running our courtrooms. Working families deserve to know the full truth about what happened, not sanitized versions filtered through government lawyers protecting their own.
