Rebecca “Becky” H. Hill, an unlikely but pivotal figure in the ongoing Alex Murdaugh post-murder conviction appeal, is no longer the clerk of court for Colleton County, South Carolina.

During a Monday morning press conference in front of the antebellum courthouse in Walterboro, the long-embattled elected official resigned her position effective immediately, adding that she would forego reelection just before the filing deadline, citing family reasons.

In September 2023, defense attorneys accused Hill of engaging in several instances of jury tampering during Murdaugh’s murder trial. Other, related scandals quickly rose to the surface over Hill’s behavior during and after the longest criminal trial in Palmetto State history.
