Becky Hill, the former clerk for Colleton County, has been charged with multiple felonies, including misconduct and obstruction of justice, concerning her involvement in the Alex Murdaugh murder trial. The charges arose after a Supreme Court hearing where Hill allegedly lied about allowing the press to view sealed exhibits. These accusations may lead to a new trial for Murdaugh, who was previously convicted of murdering his wife and son. The State Ethics Commission had previously accused Hill of misusing her position for personal gain through her book on the case, which she admitted to plagiarizing and promoting on social media.
