Murdaugh court clerk Becky Hill released on bond after arrest on perjury, misconduct charges

Experts are at odds over whether Alex Murdaugh will receive a retrial after former Colleton County, South Carolina, court clerk Becky Hill faced multiple felony charges on Wednesday across two counties.

“The [suggestion] that Becky Hill’s current legal troubles benefit Alex Murdaugh — I strongly disagree with that,” stated former South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon to Fox News Digital. “I believe the reality is quite the opposite.”

On Wednesday afternoon, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) declared that Hill, 57, is facing charges of obstructing justice and misconduct in Colleton County as well as perjury in Richland County. The perjury charge is linked to a falsehood she allegedly conveyed to South Carolina Supreme Court Justice Toal in January 2024, at the time the justice determined Murdaugh did not require a new trial upon his appeal.

Charging documents state that when Toal asked Hill, “Did you allow anyone from the press to view sealed exhibits?” Hill responded, “No, ma’am,” which is apparently inconsistent with evidence obtained by authorities. They also accuse her of showing sealed photos to a reporter and using her official position as Colleton County clerk for financial gain, specifically by promoting her book about the Murdaugh case on social media.

Her former attorney, Justin Bamberg, who has represented victims of Murdaugh’s financial crimes, said at a March news conference that Hill’s decision had nothing to do with any pending investigations involving the clerk.
