Alex Murdaugh's Last Hope: Why Court Clerk's Arrest Could Mean Retrial The Alex Murdaugh murder trial took a stunning turn when court clerk Becky Hill was arrested on four felony charges in May 2025, potentially opening the door for one of the most controversial retrials in American legal history. This explosive development has rocked the true crime community and raised serious questions about judicial integrity in high-profile cases. Becky Hill, who served as Colleton County Clerk of Court during Murdaugh's 2023 double murder trial, now faces perjury, obstruction of justice, and misconduct charges that directly contradict her sworn testimony from a 2024 hearing. The charges allege Hill lied under oath about sharing sealed crime scene evidence, improperly influenced jurors during deliberations, and used her official position to promote her bestselling book "Behind the Doors of Justice: The Murdaugh Murders." The implications are staggering. Multiple jurors testified that Hill made inappropriate comments during the trial, suggesting they should "watch Murdaugh's body language" and not be "fooled by his testimony." One juror stated Hill's remarks made her feel like Murdaugh was "already guilty" before deliberations began. While eleven jurors claimed they weren't influenced by these comments, Hill's perjury charge has undermined the credibility of the entire 2024 hearing that initially denied Murdaugh's retrial motion. Legal experts estimate Murdaugh's chances of securing a new trial have jumped from virtually zero to 25-35 percent following Hill's arrest. The case now hinges on competing legal standards for jury tampering - South Carolina's restrictive State v. Green standard versus the federal Remmer standard that presumes prejudice from any improper jury contact by court officials. This case exposes the dangerous intersection of celebrity culture and judicial proceedings, where court clerks can become overnight celebrities through book deals and media appearances. Hill allegedly monetized her proximity to the "trial of the century" while compromising the fundamental fairness that our justice system demands. Even if Murdaugh wins a new murder trial, he remains imprisoned for life on separate financial crime convictions totaling 67 years. But the broader implications extend far beyond one disgraced attorney's fate - this scandal has revealed systemic vulnerabilities in how high-profile trials are managed and the corrupting influence of true crime entertainment culture on judicial proceedings. #AlexMurdaugh #BeckyHill #TrueCrime #MurdaughTrial #CourtClerkScandal #JuryTampering #LegalScandal #SouthCarolina #MurdaughMurders #JudicialCorruption Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Alex Murdaugh was sunk by a totality of the evidence against him, but some of the most damning evidence that was presented was the digital evidence that was collected by the investigators and then rebuilt into a timeline showing exactly where Murdaugh was during the time of the murder. When added with the other evidence, such as the video where his voice was heard in the background, it led to a conviction. In Idaho there is a very similar thing taking place behind the scenes as the investigators there have filed over sixty digital warrants already and more expected to come. When you look at the evidence that they had against Alex Murdaugh and you compare it with the evidence collected against Bryan Kohberger, there are many similarities with how the investigations have unfolded.In this episode we take a look at those investigations and see where they are similar and what that might mean for Bryan Kohberger at his trial.

Is Becky Hill Guilty? Five Legal Bombshells That Could Reopen the Alex Murdaugh Case Becky Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court who read the guilty verdicts in Alex Murdaugh's double murder trial, has now been arrested and charged with multiple felonies—including obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, and perjury. Two of the charges directly relate to her actions during Murdaugh's high-profile 2023 trial, including alleged jury tampering and leaking sealed evidence. This video breaks down how Hill's personal book promotion, courtroom conduct, and sworn testimony could unravel parts of the trial that put Murdaugh behind bars. With South Carolina Law Enforcement Division leading the investigation and Murdaugh's legal team demanding a new trial, the integrity of one of the most watched trials in America is now under serious scrutiny. #BeckyHill #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #JuryTampering #TrueCrimeUpdate #CourtroomScandal #FelonyCharges #BehindTheDoorsOfJustice #PerjuryCase #JusticeSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Becky Hill Arrested: What It Means for Alex Murdaugh's Murder Conviction Becky Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court who oversaw the infamous double-murder trial of Alex Murdaugh, is now at the center of a legal storm herself. In this deep dive, we break down the new criminal charges against Hill—perjury, obstruction of justice, and two counts of misconduct in office—and what these allegations mean for the future of the Murdaugh case. Hill is accused of lying under oath during a retrial hearing, leaking sealed evidence during the original trial, and exploiting her position for financial gain through book sales and public funds. Alex Murdaugh's legal team has long argued that Hill's actions tainted the trial's outcome, particularly with claims that she pressured jurors to reach a guilty verdict and told them not to be “fooled” by Murdaugh's testimony. Though Judge Jean Toal previously denied a retrial, citing a lack of proven prejudice among the jurors, Hill's recent indictment could cast serious doubt on the fairness of the process. Could her perjury charge open the door for a new trial? Or will South Carolina's higher courts side with the state's original ruling? We explore the legal thresholds for retrials due to official misconduct, analyze juror testimony, and compare the case to historical precedents where court insiders tipped the scales of justice. If you want the full story on how a court official's alleged misconduct could upend one of America's most high-profile murder convictions, this is the video you need to watch. #MurdaughTrial #BeckyHill #AlexMurdaugh #CourtClerkScandal #TrueCrime #LegalAnalysis #PerjuryCase #MurdaughRetrial #JuryTampering #BehindTheVerdict Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack the continued fallout from the Alex Murdaugh trial, and the four new felony charges for former Clerk of Court, Becky Hill. They dissect the charges against Hill, clarifying that she faces misconduct, obstruction and perjury allegations... but not for jury tampering, despite Team Murdaugh's narrative. The hosts reveal how Hill seemed to embrace the attention, and how 'Backstage' Becky's actions, like charging high fees and allegedly showing sealed photos of victims' bodies to media at a party, raised all sorts of alarms. Did the Murdaugh defense team see Hill as an "easy target" to base an appeal on and what was the role of attorney Joe McCulloch, present throughout the trial for... a screenplay? And what was the complicity of media members who viewed sealed evidence... Will there be consequences? We hope so.  Despite these issues, we strongly believe Alex Murdaugh received a fair trial, and question the credibility of anyone alleging that jury tampering occurred.  Plus, we address the P. Diddy federal sex trafficking trial and why transparency matters.  ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References“Murdaugh clerk of court Becky Hill facing perjury, misconduct charges” - CourtTV, May 14, 2025

Becky Hill, the former Colleton County clerk of court, was arrested and charged with obstructing justice and misconduct in Colleton County and perjury in Richland County. The perjury charge stems from her testimony in a January 2024 hearing into whether Alex Murdaugh would get a new trial based on Hill's alleged jury tampering. Justice Toal ruled that Murdaugh should not get a new trial. Murdaugh's defense team has appealed that decision to the SC State Supreme Court.

I discuss the closed court sessions, the "Dateline" episode leaked, and the intense measures being taken to find the source. Plus, the potential for a special prosecutor and what this means for the trial. Cassie Ventura previously reached a settlement with Diddy, which the defense alludes to as a potential motive for her testimony. It is also revealed that Cassie is undergoing litigation with the Intercontinental Hotel. The defense argues that it's a domestic violence case, not sex trafficking or RICO.The shocking criminal charges against the former Clerk of Court, Becky Hill, from the Murdaugh trial. I examine the warrants and the allegations of obstruction of justice and misconduct. Plus, how she perjured herself! The Menendez brothers were resentenced to 50 years to life, instead of life without the possibility of parole. This resentencing is separate from their ongoing clemency proceedings, so they still have two legal avenues moving forward. Now that there is a change for parole, the decision ultimately rests with the parole board, and their release is not immediate or certain.RESOURCESKaren Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-voMenendez Brothers Resentencing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DDaLjZrjhI Diddy Settled with Cassie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki-SsG09pKgFeds Mad at Jay Z Civil Suit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqFz_L7lyE4The Alex Murdaugh Cases Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJUHo2XsVhGNBhaMdx9B_cqBecky Hill's Ethics Violations - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I15TNtPfC3w New Murdaugh Trial Evidentiary Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnUX0njyq4IBecky Hills Emails - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6riKBCov1U New Kohberger Venue Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go-2Cidrzmk This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Qu'est-il advenu d'Yves Godard ? A-t-il assassiné toute sa famille ? Plus de 20 ans après cette tragédie, difficile de le savoir. Toute une famille disparaît La disparition du docteur Godard est une affaire à s'arracher les cheveux pour tous les magistrats et enquêteurs qui ont eu en charge ce dossier. Plusieurs fois, les enquêteurs ont pensé s'approcher de la vérité sans jamais la découvrir. Pendant plus d'une décennie, les eaux de la Manche, des corbeaux et des petits poucets vont égrener des indices et envoyer les gendarmes un peu partout sur le globe. Des moyens financiers et humains colossaux vont être engagés par la justice pour résoudre cette énigme.  Découvrez la dernière saison : ⁠⁠⁠L'affaire Murdaugh, ou l'héritier du crime⁠⁠ Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture et voix : Caroline Nogueras En partenariat avec upday.  Première diffusion : 27 mai 2021 Learn more about your ad choices.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and the whole LUNASHARK team — are celebrating 100 episodes of True Sunlight Podcast, the show that emerged from their relentless pursuit of justice in the highly acclaimed Murdaugh Murders Podcast (which, of course, is the basis for the star-studded Hulu scripted series currently filming in Atlanta).  What better way to celebrate two years of post-Murdaugh reporting than with an old throwback … breaking Murdaugh news on a Wednesday! Former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill was arrested and charged with four felony counts — two misconduct in office charges, an obstruction of justice charge and perjury.  Though three of the charges are related to Alex Murdaugh's murder trial they are NOT related to Dick and Jim's claims of jury-tampering. Two of the charges are specifically related to photos of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's dead bodies, which were allegedly leaked to a "news" agency during the trial and later distributed to random people following the Murdaugh case. Hmmm... But will these charges affect Alex's chances at getting a new trial?  Also on the show, an update in the (18:49) Jane Doe lawsuits against Myrtle Beach “pastor” John-Paul Miller.  Plus, our continuing coverage of (34:17) the Weldon Boyd Calls. From the second North Myrtle Beach businessman opened his truck door after shooting 33-year-old Scott Spivey of Tabor City, North Carolina, to death in September 2023, Boyd began his search for the perfect narrative — one that would explain his presence on Camp Swamp Road and fit the definition of the Stand Your Ground law; that would explain why Scott was shot to death in the back and in his truck; one that integrated the emerging bits of information Weldon appeared to be getting from the shadows of the so-called investigation by Horry County Police Department.  Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Becky Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court in Alex Murdaugh's double murder trial, has been charged with four felonies. Hill is accused of lying under oath during a hearing for Murdaugh in January 2024 as the disgraced lawyer asked for a new trial. Hill is also accused of using her office to promote her failed book and other crimes. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy talks with Murdaugh's attorney Dick Harpootlian about how Hill's arrest could impact his client's bid for a new trial in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: If your child, under 21, has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or fatty liver disease, visit https://forthepeople.com/food to start a claim now!Host:Angenette Levy https://twitter.com/Angenette5Guest: Dick Harpootlian https://x.com/HarpootlianSCProducer:Jordan ChaconCRIME FIX PRODUCTION:Head of Social Media, YouTube - Bobby SzokeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinVideo Editing - Daniel CamachoGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Les derniers mensonges d'Alex Le 23 janvier 2023, au tribunal du Comté de Colleton, s'ouvre le procès d'Alex Murdaugh, accusé du double meurtre de sa femme Maggie et de son fils Paul.  Un an et demi plus tôt, Alex était encore le puissant héritier d'une dynastie qui, depuis 100 ans, faisait sa loi dans les marais de Caroline du Sud. Il était un avocat riche et corpulent.  Mais à l'ouverture du procès, Alex Murdaugh, en chemise blanche et veste de blazer anthracite, apparaît amaigri.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland cover a lot of ground in this latest episode, starting with the death of Pope Francis, a religious leader who routinely called for justice and spoke out against hypocrisy. What will the future of the church look like now?  Also on the show, Alex Murdaugh's co-conspirator Russell Laffitte appeared in court last week to finally admit his guilt. Is this the end of the road for the federal cases in the Murdaugh saga, or will there be more charges filed against yet-unknown players?  Plus, three years after Eric Bland and First Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe filed complaints with the South Carolina Judicial Conduct Committee against Judge Carmen Mullen, they finally have an answer from the mysterious and secretive committee: There's nothing to see here. In other words, Judge Mullen will not face any disciplinary action for her role in Alex Murdaugh's theft from the Satterfields. And the CoJ team is fired up about it!  Finally, Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about the disturbing details that are emerging from the Scott Spivey case in Horry County — specifically the calls that one of Scott's shooters made in the aftermath of Scott's killing. This case is about to blow the lid off corruption inside Horry County Police Department, SLED and the South Carolina Attorney General's Office. ⚖️ Cups Up!! ☕ Episode Resources “This is hypocrisy.” - Pope Francis

From Banker to Thief: Russell Laffitte Finally Admits to Murdaugh Scheme The Banker Finally Blinks After two years of pretending he just didn't know any better, former Palmetto State Bank CEO Russell Laffitte has finally admitted what everyone else already knew: he's a crook. In a guilty plea deal made public this week, Laffitte confessed to six criminal counts, copping to a scheme with Alex Murdaugh that laundered and stole at least $3.5 million from vulnerable clients over an 11-year stretch. That's more than a decade of playing dumb while using his bank like a personal vending machine for fraud. But unlike previous courtroom performances, Laffitte now admits he wasn't just “naive” or “misled.” He knew exactly what he was doing—and it was illegal. This is a major shift from the story Laffitte has been trying to sell since the walls started closing in. Back in his 2022 trial, the man spent five hours on the stand denying everything but bad judgment. He painted himself as the village idiot of banking, manipulated by Murdaugh into funneling millions out of client settlements without understanding what was going on. He even pulled the classic “not intentionally” line when asked if he'd helped Murdaugh steal. But now, in black and white, Laffitte is admitting he did help. Intentionally. Repeatedly. And he knew it was against the law. This admission changes everything—especially for the people he hurt. It also spares them from enduring a second trial that would've rehashed painful memories and exposed them to more cross-examinations from Laffitte's legal team. Instead of dragging them through that again, Laffitte gets five years. It's a cut from the seven-year sentence he was serving before his conviction was overturned on a technicality. And it's a far cry from the nine to eleven years prosecutors were originally gunning for in their 2023 sentencing memo. That memo was brutal. Prosecutors said what made Laffitte stand out wasn't just the crimes—plenty of people commit bank fraud—it was the audacity to lie about it over and over. They detailed how Laffitte had spun tales in a civil deposition, during a disciplinary review, at his bond hearing, and at trial. And even after a jury found him guilty, he still tried to appeal, blaming everyone but himself. But now, thanks to this plea deal, there will be no retrial, no appeals, and no last-ditch arguments about ineffective legal counsel. Laffitte has waived all of it. It's a legal dead-end for him and a sigh of relief for prosecutors and victims alike. And let's talk about the company he kept. Laffitte wasn't pulling these moves with some faceless fraudster—he was in business with Alex Murdaugh, arguably South Carolina's most radioactive defendant. By the time Laffitte's case came up for a retrial, Murdaugh was already a convicted murderer and convicted thief. The idea of facing a jury while being tied at the hip to that guy? Not a good look. In the background of all this are the stories of the people they stole from. The Plyler sisters, Hannah and Alania, had their settlement money drained. Natarsha Thomas lost $350,000. Arthur Badger, left to raise six children after his wife's death in a crash, had over a million siphoned from his rightful settlement. Laffitte helped reroute that money through his bank into accounts he and Murdaugh controlled, like some twisted game of Monopoly where the victims always lost and the banker pocketed Boardwalk. Emails between Laffitte and Murdaugh discussing Badger's money were described by attorney Mark Tinsley as especially damning. Which is why, Tinsley says, this guilty plea isn't a surprise—it's damage control. For the victims and their attorneys, this deal is about more than just prison time. It's closure. It's avoiding another public trial. And most importantly, it's proof in writing that Laffitte wasn't just a clueless banker caught in the crossfire—he was an active, informed participant in a massive fraud. Now, even as he faces civil lawsuits where he continues to deny responsibility, his federal guilty plea will hang around his neck like a cement necktie. Because no matter how many depositions he gives, the ink on that 10-page agreement doesn't lie. Russell Laffitte may have spent years denying, deflecting, and dodging the truth. But this week, he finally ran out of exits. #AlexMurdaugh #RussellLaffitte #PalmettoStateBank #WhiteCollarCrime Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Laffitte wasn't pulling these moves with some faceless fraudster—he was in business with Alex Murdaugh, arguably South Carolina's most radioactive defendant. By the time Laffitte's case came up for a retrial, Murdaugh was already a convicted murderer and convicted thief. The idea of facing a jury while being tied at the hip to that guy? Not a good look. In the background of all this are the stories of the people they stole from. The Plyler sisters, Hannah and Alania, had their settlement money drained. Natarsha Thomas lost $350,000. Arthur Badger, left to raise six children after his wife's death in a crash, had over a million siphoned from his rightful settlement. Laffitte helped reroute that money through his bank into accounts he and Murdaugh controlled, like some twisted game of Monopoly where the victims always lost and the banker pocketed Boardwalk. Emails between Laffitte and Murdaugh discussing Badger's money were described by attorney Mark Tinsley as especially damning. Which is why, Tinsley says, this guilty plea isn't a surprise—it's damage control. For the victims and their attorneys, this deal is about more than just prison time. It's closure. It's avoiding another public trial. And most importantly, it's proof in writing that Laffitte wasn't just a clueless banker caught in the crossfire—he was an active, informed participant in a massive fraud. Now, even as he faces civil lawsuits where he continues to deny responsibility, his federal guilty plea will hang around his neck like a cement necktie. Because no matter how many depositions he gives, the ink on that 10-page agreement doesn't lie. Russell Laffitte may have spent years denying, deflecting, and dodging the truth. But this week, he finally ran out of exits. #AlexMurdaugh #RussellLaffitte #PalmettoStateBank #WhiteCollarCrime Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

From Banker to Thief: Russell Laffitte Finally Admits to Murdaugh Scheme The Banker Finally Blinks After two years of pretending he just didn't know any better, former Palmetto State Bank CEO Russell Laffitte has finally admitted what everyone else already knew: he's a crook. In a guilty plea deal made public this week, Laffitte confessed to six criminal counts, copping to a scheme with Alex Murdaugh that laundered and stole at least $3.5 million from vulnerable clients over an 11-year stretch. That's more than a decade of playing dumb while using his bank like a personal vending machine for fraud. But unlike previous courtroom performances, Laffitte now admits he wasn't just “naive” or “misled.” He knew exactly what he was doing—and it was illegal. This is a major shift from the story Laffitte has been trying to sell since the walls started closing in. Back in his 2022 trial, the man spent five hours on the stand denying everything but bad judgment. He painted himself as the village idiot of banking, manipulated by Murdaugh into funneling millions out of client settlements without understanding what was going on. He even pulled the classic “not intentionally” line when asked if he'd helped Murdaugh steal. But now, in black and white, Laffitte is admitting he did help. Intentionally. Repeatedly. And he knew it was against the law. This admission changes everything—especially for the people he hurt. It also spares them from enduring a second trial that would've rehashed painful memories and exposed them to more cross-examinations from Laffitte's legal team. Instead of dragging them through that again, Laffitte gets five years. It's a cut from the seven-year sentence he was serving before his conviction was overturned on a technicality. And it's a far cry from the nine to eleven years prosecutors were originally gunning for in their 2023 sentencing memo. That memo was brutal. Prosecutors said what made Laffitte stand out wasn't just the crimes—plenty of people commit bank fraud—it was the audacity to lie about it over and over. They detailed how Laffitte had spun tales in a civil deposition, during a disciplinary review, at his bond hearing, and at trial. And even after a jury found him guilty, he still tried to appeal, blaming everyone but himself. But now, thanks to this plea deal, there will be no retrial, no appeals, and no last-ditch arguments about ineffective legal counsel. Laffitte has waived all of it. It's a legal dead-end for him and a sigh of relief for prosecutors and victims alike. And let's talk about the company he kept.

Alex Murdaugh Murder Appeal Delayed 120 Days – Here's What Happens Next  In this episode, we're diving into the latest twist in the Alex Murdaugh murder appeal—the South Carolina Supreme Court's unexpected decision to grant prosecutors a 120-day extension to respond. With the new deadline now set for August 8, 2025, Murdaugh's defense team is sounding the alarm, accusing the Attorney General's Office of stalling and mismanaging the case. The State, on the other hand, claims “extraordinary circumstances” justify the delay, pointing to a massive 6,000-page trial record and staff turnover. This isn't just a boring scheduling change—it's a courtroom clash that exposes just how complicated, politically sensitive, and high-stakes this appeal really is. The defense argues the longer this drags out, the longer Murdaugh sits in prison on what they claim was a structurally flawed trial. Prosecutors say they need time to do it right. Legal analysts say it's rare to see such a public fight over an appellate deadline, especially one involving a case this notorious. We break down what this extension means, how it affects the timeline of the appeal, and what it tells us about the strategies on both sides. From the controversial role of court clerk Becky Hill to the looming oral arguments in late 2025 or early 2026, this delay sets the tone for what could be one of the most consequential appellate rulings in South Carolina history.
