Prospective jurors are being asked questions about everything from the TV programs they like to watch, bumper stickers on their cars.
Both the prosecution and the defense are trying to weed out anyone, anyone who might have some kind of bias.
Complicated indeed, Andrea.
Murdoch called police in June of 2021, you might recall, to report finding his wife and son fatally shot when he says he arrived at their home.
But investigators didn't buy that.
They methodically pieced together cell phone video, vehicle data, and witness testimony that placed Murdoch at the scene at the time of the shootings, and he was arrested for those murders.
At his trial, prosecutors said he'd killed Maggie and Paul to cover up financial crimes, and a jury convicted him in March of 2023.
On Wednesday, Murdoch's defense team went before the five justices of the South Carolina Supreme Court to argue why he should get a new trial.
And one of their main arguments is that he didn't get a fair trial because of the behavior of someone that had been in the courtroom the whole time, the court clerk.
Her name is Becky Hill, and I covered the original trial.
And Miss Becky was everywhere and had regular contact with the jury as part of their job, getting them into the court, getting them their lunch and everything else.
And after the trial, she was actually criminally charged for her behavior during that trial.
She denied tampering with the jury in any way, but pleaded guilty to four counts, including misconduct in office.
And then she later apologized to the court.
Murdoch's defense says that Ms.
Becky made comments to jurors that could have influenced them to find Murdoch guilty.
For example, they point to remarks she allegedly made encouraging jurors to watch Alec Murdoch's demeanor closely during testimony or urging them to move deliberations along.
Well, not surprising, Andrea.
The prosecutors dispute all of this and say any comments by Ms.
Becky were limited and did not affect the verdict.
