The South Carolina Attorney General’s office, which led the prosecution against Murdaugh, has urged the courts to deny the motion.
The evidentiary hearing Monday is expected to include the testimony of 11 jurors from the original murder trial and Hill.
Murdaugh’s attorneys had indicated they also wanted to call alternate and dismissed jurors, as well as prosecutors and Judge Clifton Newman, who presided over the murder trial, as witnesses.
