Two trial jurors sick with COVID in Murdaugh trial, alternates selected to replace them

Judge Clifton Newman, South Carolina Circuit Court: "We have some matters with the jury, with two jurors who have tested positive for COVID. They will not be able to be continued--to continue. They've confirmed the positive tests by sending them to the clerk of court who has forwarded the copies to me. And I've spoken with each of those jurors and they are... one is symptomatic and one had a cough and sore throat. And they've both been relieved. So we have two alternates--We have the two alternates that will become part of the regular panel."
