becky hill Alex Murdaugh court clerk.

Former South Carolina court clerk Becky Hill has pleaded guilty to showing sealed court exhibits to a photographer and lying about it in court. She was sentenced Monday to three years of probation. Hill helped out with the murder trial that led to convictions and a life sentence for Alex Murdaugh in the shootings of his wife and son. Hill was arrested in May for showing sealed court exhibit photos to a reporter and lying about it. Hill also faced misconduct charges for taking bonuses and promoting a book she wrote on the trial. Her actions have become a focal point in Murdaugh’s appeal of his murder convictions.
