Murdaugh Court Clerk Becky Hill Pleads Guilty — What It Means For His Alex’s Appeal

Becky Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court who oversaw Alex Murdaugh's murder trial, pleaded guilty today to obstruction of justice, perjury, and two counts of misconduct in office. She received probation and walked out of court without serving any jail time.

Hill was in charge of managing the jury, handling exhibits, and assisting the judge during Murdaugh's six-week trial in 2023. His defense team has alleged she tampered with jurors to secure a guilty verdict — a verdict they say she needed to cash in on a book deal.

Today's guilty plea confirms Hill lied under oath during a January 2024 hearing about whether Murdaugh deserved a new trial. The South Carolina Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in his appeal on February 11, 2026.

In this episode, we break down what happened in court today, what Hill admitted to, why she wasn't charged with jury tampering, and what this means for Murdaugh's shot at overturning his conviction.
