Conviction and 7-year sentence for Alex Murdaugh's banker overturned in appeal of juror's dismissal
The banker who prosecutors said helped Alex Murdaugh move millions of dollars around to avoid detection of his thefts in exchange for a share of the money had his conviction and seven-year prison sentence overturned on appeal Thursday. Three judges from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the federal judge trying the case made mistakes handing a juror who was dismissed after saying she was suffering from anxiety during deliberations in Russell Laffitte's trial. Judge Richard Gergel interviewed the juror without lawyers or Laffitte in the room and she told him she took medicine for anxiety and felt like she could handle her responsibility, but her anxiety grew with the reaction of other jurors to her beliefs about the case.
