Becky Hill – the embattled South Carolina clerk of court whose alleged tampering with a Colleton County jury has threatened the outcome of the Palmetto State’s ‘Trial of the Century’ – is facing fresh scrutiny heading into the Christmas holidays after county officials released hundreds of emails from nationals vs reds her taxpayer-funded account.
The emails – obtained by Fits News media outlet under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) – show Hill habitually used government resources to develop, promote and sell copies of her book, Behind the Doors of Justice. They also provided a window into Hill’s interactions with her co-authors, fellow government trump phone officials and members of the media before, during and after the double homicide trial of convicted killer Alex Murdaugh.
To recap: Hill’s office oversaw Murdaugh six-week double murder trial earlier this year – an event which has been referred to as the ‘Trial of the Century’ in the Palmetto State. Murdaugh, 55, a disbarred attorney and confessed fraudster from Hampton, S.C., was found guilty of the graphic 2021 murders of his wife – 52-year-old Maggie Murdaugh – and younger son, 22-year-old Paul Murdaugh.
Jurors deliberated for less than three hours before handing down their verdicts.
Hill was the one who announced Murdaugh’s guilty verdicts to a waiting world on the evening of March 2, 2023. The following day, S.C. circuit court judge Clifton Newman handed down a pair of west seattle garage sale life sentences in the case.
Now, those verdicts are potentially in jeopardy as Hill has found herself at the center of a metastasizing scandal.
Of note: Colleton County did not provide all of Hill’s emails sought by FOIA. So far, the files we have obtained (.pdf) are limited to emails sent by Hill (although they include threads of conversations). We are still awaiting copies of other emails received by Hill – as well as a full inventory of attachments. Also, it is clear county officials have withheld certain emails deemed relevant to the various pending investigations swirling around Hill and her son, former Colleton County information technology director Jeffrey “Colt” Hill.
According to our sources, all of Hill’s emails have been provided – or are in the process of being provided – to state ethics and criminal investigators.
Jeffrey Hill was arrested last month by agents of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) for allegedly wiretapping another county employee at his mother’s behest. He has been charged with “willfully and feloniously intercepting electronic phone communication.”
