Becky Hill, a former South Carolina court official known for her involvement in Alex Murdaugh's 2023 double-murder trial, pleaded guilty on Monday, December 8, to multiple misconduct charges.

The charges stem from the broader controversy over alleged jury tampering in the Murdaugh trial. Hill did not plead guilty to tampering, and both she, her attorneys and state prosecutors maintain no jury tampering occurred.

Still, the misconduct admissions add new weight to a key battle ahead. Murdaugh’s defense team plans to make alleged jury tampering the centerpiece of their February 2026 arguments before the South Carolina Supreme Court as they seek to overturn his murder convictions.

Hill's misconduct primarily involved using her elected office as Colleton County Clerk of Court for personal financial gain. She promoted a book she wrote about the Murdaugh trial while working in her official capacity, among other violations of the public trust. #alexmurdaugh #truecrime
