Becky Hill Arrested Amid Murdaugh Trial Fallout

Becky Hill, former Colleton County Clerk of Court involved in Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial, has been arrested on multiple felony charges including perjury, obstruction of justice, and misconduct in office. Authorities allege Hill abused her position for personal gain, notably by promoting her book about the Murdaugh trial and potentially seeking to influence the jury toward a guilty verdict. Although a judge previously ruled Hill’s conduct did not justify a new trial for Murdaugh, his defense team continues to argue that her actions undermine the trial’s fairness and is pursuing another trial. Hill, who resigned from her position, is currently free on bond, with her attorney stating the resignation was unrelated to the investigations. The case remains active and is being reviewed by both state and federal authorities. These developments reflect the ongoing fallout from the high-profile Murdaugh case.
