"Alex Murdaugh's Court Clerk Resigns Amid Jury Tampering Allegations"

Rebecca "Becky" Hill, the clerk of court accused of jury tampering in Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial, has resigned from her position in Colleton County, South Carolina. This comes after a judge rejected a request for a new trial by Murdaugh and his attorneys, who accused Hill of inappropriately discussing the case with jurors. Hill denied the allegations, but the judge criticized her as a "publicity-influenced" clerk. The trial, which saw Murdaugh convicted for the murders of his wife and son, brought international attention and controversy, with allegations of Hill's actions being explored in a hearing.
