Will Becky Hill Get Alex Murdaugh a New Trial? — The Court Connection

#AlexMurdaugh’s defense team is banking on Becky Hill to get him a new trial for the 2021 murders of Maggie and Paul — all because she wrote a book about the trial. Don’t recognize the name? Becky Hill is the woman who ran the Colleton County Courthouse. She was the Clerk of Courts from 2020 until she resigned in March of 2024. By then, she’d been accused of plagiarism, ethics violations, and jury tampering. On top of that — her son, the County’s IT Director, was charged with wiretapping his mom’s boss. This week, Hill pleaded guilty to misconduct in office, obstruction of justice and perjury. But how will this latest legal turn affect Murdaugh’s appeal in February 2026? Investigative Reporter, Anne Emerson discusses the case with the team that brought you 'The Murdaughs: Murders, Money and Mystery' podcast.
