Where Is ‘Egg Juror’ Myra Crosby Now? Inside Her Life 3 Years After Being Dismissed from Alex Murdaugh’s Jury

Myra Crosby, a former juror from the high-profile Alex Murdaugh murder trial, recently found herself back in the spotlight following a series of legal and media engagements since her removal from the jury in 2023. Crosby was dismissed from the jury shortly before Murdaugh was convicted of killing his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, at their South Carolina estate in June 2021. The reasons for her dismissal raised significant questions about the integrity of the trial.

Crosby was one of twelve jurors selected to hear the case against Murdaugh, a prominent personal injury lawyer. While Murdaugh maintained his innocence, claiming he discovered the bodies, prosecutors suggested he had committed the murders to divert attention from his financial misconduct. Hours before the jurors were due to present their verdict, allegations surfaced that Crosby had discussed the case with individuals outside the court, leading to her abrupt removal.

The events leading to Crosby’s dismissal were marred by controversy. The Clerk of Court, Rebecca “Becky” Hill, informed Judge Clifton Newman that Crosby’s ex-husband had posted on Facebook implying they had discussed the trial while socialising. However, Hill could not present the post that supposedly initiated the allegations, and Crosby claimed she had not had contact with her ex-husband for a decade. Additionally, testimonies from Crosby’s tenants, who were reportedly interviewed by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, became complications in the investigation, with Crosby contending that these tenants were misled into signing affidavits regarding their conversations about the trial.

This dismissal soon led to Crosby earning the online moniker of “egg juror,” due to the peculiar nature of her request to retrieve personal items, including a dozen fresh eggs, from the jury room. The peculiarities of her situation drew public interest and speculation concerning the validity of her ousting from the jury.

Following her removal and the trial’s conclusion, Crosby has been vocal about her feelings on the proceedings. In an interview with Inside Edition, she expressed doubts about the fairness of Murdaugh’s trial, stating, “If I had to make a decision at the time, I probably would have voted not guilty.” She attributed her ousting to a targeted effort by Hill, asserting that she was simply undecided in her thinking. “Ms. Hill asked me on several occasions what my opinion was, and my constant answer was ‘undecided,’” she said.

In the aftermath of her jury service, Crosby has transitioned into the literary and media realms, having authored a book entitled “Because Enough Is Enough: How Juror 785 was Wrongly Kicked Off the Jury at the Alex Murdaugh Trial.” The book chronicles her account of the trial and the events surrounding her dismissal, in which she positions herself as a wronged juror in the high-profile case.

Crosby’s commentary and writings have not only sparked discussions about her claims but have also led her to feature in the 2026 Netflix documentary titled “Instadocs: Alex Murdaugh, Unconvicted.” Her active participation in media highlighting her experiences further demonstrates her resolve to have her voice heard amidst ongoing controversies.

Additionally, Crosby has sought to access records related to the jury tampering investigation, filing requests with several South Carolina authorities. While her initial Freedom of Information Act requests were denied, she continues to pursue transparency regarding the proceedings, asserting her right to review the materials now that the investigation is reportedly concluded.

In May 2026, the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh’s conviction, citing potential juror influence by Clerk Hill as a pivotal factor in their decision. This development not only questions the integrity of the initial verdict but also draws attention back to Crosby’s dismissal, intensifying discussions around the circumstances that led to her removal.

As Myra Crosby continues to navigate the complexities stemming from her time as a juror, her story remains intertwined with ongoing legal and media narratives surrounding the Murdaugh case. Her journey serves as a reminder of the often-unfolding drama that surrounds high-profile trials, where the lines between justice and personal stories can become increasingly blurred.
