Criminal Defense & InvestigationsPartner and Chair of Meister Seelig & Schuster’s National Criminal Defense Group, Kim Hodde, was recently featured in NBC News analyzing the South Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions.
Addressing the alleged jury interference at the center of the ruling, she stated: “This is the kind of error that so permeates the fairness of the trial that there’s no way you can set that aside.”
Kim also spoke to the broader implications of comments that may influence how jurors perceive defense counsel, emphasizing that such conduct can materially impact the fairness of a trial.
We value Kim’s perspective and the depth of experience and strategic insight she brings to complex criminal defense matters at Meister Seelig & Schuster.
