Alex Murdaugh Re-Trial: Becky Hill, SLED, and the Records Prosecutors Now Want Released (7/8/26)

South Carolina prosecutors are now backing the unsealing of major records tied to the Becky Hill jury-tampering fallout in the Alex Murdaugh case, including materials related to the removal of former juror Myra Crosby — the so-called “egg juror” — and investigative files from SLED’s probe into Hill. In a July 6, 2026 filing, the attorney general’s office said the public should be allowed to see the sealed hearings, interview memos, videos, and other materials that shaped the inquiry, but only after juror identities and sensitive information are redacted. That marks a shift from earlier stages of the litigation, when prosecutors resisted disclosure while Murdaugh’s appeal was still pending.

The fight now is less about whether the records should come out and more about how they should be released. Prosecutors argue the court repeatedly promised jurors confidentiality and cannot simply abandon that obligation because the case has moved into a new phase or because some jurors have spoken publicly. The files at issue include records from the investigation that ended with Hill pleading guilty to misconduct in office and perjury, though she was not criminally charged with jury tampering. If the court agrees, the public could finally see some of the most important records behind the scandal that blew apart Murdaugh’s murder convictions, while Murdaugh could also potentially use parts of those materials in his federal civil rights lawsuit against Hill.
