Where Is the 'Egg Juror' Now? Myra Crosby’s Life After Being Dismissed From the Alex Murdaugh Jury

Myra Crosby — widely nicknamed the “egg juror” after asking to retrieve a bag of eggs from the jury room — was dismissed from the Alex Murdaugh jury in 2023 amid allegations she discussed the case outside the courtroom. Crosby has repeatedly said she was wrongly targeted by Colleton County court clerk Rebecca “Becky” Hill because she remained undecided about the verdict. Three years on, Crosby has published a memoir, appeared in a Netflix documentary and pursued public records related to the jury-tampering investigation.

How Crosby Was Removed

Crosby served as Juror No. 785 on the panel that tried Murdaugh on charges that he fatally shot his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in June 2021. Hours before the jury was set to deliver a verdict in 2023, Crosby was excused after court clerk Rebecca Hill told Judge Clifton Newman that Crosby had discussed the case with people outside the jury. Hill also reported a claimed social media post and an email alleging Crosby had spoken with a tenant.

Hill later proved unable to produce the cited Facebook post, and Crosby said she had been estranged from her ex-husband for roughly a decade. Tenants later gave affidavits to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) saying Crosby had discussed the case with them; Crosby maintains the tenants denied those claims and were pressured to sign the affidavits.

Why the “Egg Juror” Label?

During the removal process, Crosby asked to retrieve personal items from the jury room, including her purse, water bottle and a bag holding a dozen eggs. The unusual detail quickly spread online and led to the “egg juror” nickname before her identity became public.

Aftermath: Book, Documentary and Records Requests

In September 2024 Crosby self-published a memoir titled Because Enough Is Enough: How Juror 785 Was Wrongly Kicked Off the Jury at the Alex Murdaugh Trial, recounting her jury experience and her contention that she was unfairly dismissed. She has repeatedly stated she believed Murdaugh did not receive a fair trial and told interviewers that, if pressed at the time, she likely would have voted not guilty.

In 2026 Crosby appeared in the Netflix documentary Instadocs: Alex Murdaugh, Unconvicted, and in May 2026 she filed motions seeking public release of records tied to the jury-tampering investigation. Crosby previously filed Freedom of Information Act requests with SLED, the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office and the 11th Circuit Solicitor; she says SLED denied a records request in March 2026 and argues the documents should now be public since the investigation is complete.

Legal Developments That Involved Crosby’s Case

Reporting and later court findings have scrutinized the conduct of Colleton County Clerk Rebecca “Becky” Hill. Hill later pleaded guilty to charges related to false statements and perjury. In May 2026 the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh’s double-murder convictions and ordered a new trial, citing improper influence on jurors — a ruling that illuminated Hill’s interactions with jurors, including Crosby.

“I feel like I was targeted,” Crosby said in interviews after her dismissal, repeating that Hill repeatedly asked her which way she was leaning while Crosby consistently answered she was “undecided.”

Where She Is Now

As of mid-2026, Crosby is publicly active in seeking transparency around the jury-tampering investigation, promoting her book and participating in documentary coverage. She continues to assert her removal was improper and has pursued official records to support her account.

What To Watch Next: The release of the records Crosby has requested and the scheduling of any retrial for Murdaugh are likely to generate further developments related to juror conduct and court-clerk influence.
