In an exclusive interview with Fox Nation's Martha MacCallum, two jurors from the infamous Alex Murdaugh double murder trial, commonly known as the "Egg Juror" and "Juror Z," lift the veil on the behind-the-scenes happenings that shaped the outcome of South Carolina's trial of the century.

The "Egg Juror," who earned her moniker after informing the judge she had left a dozen eggs in the jury room, alleges that presiding judge Clifton Newman made an error in dismissing her from the case, a move that has since played a crucial role in Murdaugh's appeal for a new trial.

"I feel like I was targeted," the "Egg Juror" told MacCallum. "Ms. Hill asked me on several occasions what my opinion was, and my constant answer was 'undecided.'"

Juror Z, the lone deliberating juror who has publicly admitted that her guilty verdict was influenced by Clerk of Court Becky Hill, sheds light on the alleged misconduct that transpired within the jury room.

"What Becky did wasn't right," Juror Z told MacCallum, disclosing that Hill interacted with jurors in an inappropriate manner and made it appear as if Murdaugh was already guilty.

Assistant Attorney General Creighton Waters had argued that Murdaugh, a disbarred attorney, committed the murders to avoid a financial reckoning. Following a tumultuous trial, the jury returned a guilty verdict after deliberating for less than three hours, leading to Murdaugh's subsequent life sentence.

However, the time since the verdict has been marred by allegations of jury tampering, with Hill at the center of the scandal. The South Carolina Supreme Court has agreed to consider Murdaugh's appeal, which hinges on allegations that Hill's actions influenced the outcome of the trial.

In addition to the interview with the jurors, Fox Nation's "The Fall of the House of Murdaugh: From Egg to Z" delves into the broader Murdaugh saga, exploring the financial crimes, insurance fraud, and drug addiction that led to Murdaugh's downfall.

The documentary also examines the complexities of the case, including the influence of the Murdaugh family's wealth and power in South Carolina, and the role of social media and public opinion in shaping the narrative of the trial.
