Former Colleton County Clerk of Court Mary Rebecca “Becky” Hill pleads guilty  to four charges — obstruction of justice and perjury for showing a reporter photographs that were sealed court exhibits and then lying about it. There are also two counts of misconduct in office for taking bonuses and promoting through her public office a book she wrote on the trial.  Judge Heath Taylor sentenced Hill to three years of probation.

This as the South Carolina's Supreme Court  granted Alex Murdaugh's request for a new trial in the murders of his wife and son. At the heart of the appeal and review is whether former South Carolina Chief Justice Jean Toal fairly denied Murdaugh a new murder trial. The Supreme Court could reverse or overturn that ruling – and could order the court to give him a new trial.

Claims that Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill, being involved in talking improperly to jurors. A hearing was held with Judge Jean Toal presiding one juror, identified as Juror Z, said Becky Hill told jurors to watch Murdaugh "closely" and "made it seem like he was already guilty." When asked if this influenced her vote to find Murdaugh guilty, the juror said “Yes, ma’am.” Toal said Becky Hill was not a credible witness and denied Murdaugh a new trial, but with Hill's plea, will Murdaugh be granted a new trial in February?

FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL: KILLER ATTORNEY ALEX MURDAUGH RETRIAL ODDS IMPROVE AS FORMER  COLLETON COUNTY CLERK PLEADS GUILTY 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/61e56e87-ec5f-457f-b276-b3b000f86320/transcript

On December 3, in Sebastian County, Arkansas, the sheriff's office was called to conduct a welfare check on Charity Beallis at the family mansion in Bonanza.

Police fail to get a response from inside the mansion, so two workers escort officers into the home. Officers locate the body of Charity Beallis and two children.

All three appear to have gunshot wounds and are sent to the Arkansas crime lab in Little Rock for autopsy.

Charity Beallis's and her twins' murder comes one day after attending a final divorce hearing with her ex-husband, Dr. Randal Beallis.

Randy and Charity Beallis marry in 2015 and have twins, a son and daughter, in 2019. Charity Beallis files for divorce and full custody of the couple's twins, as well as an order of protection. In the final divorce hearing, Dr. Randy Beallis is awarded joint custody of the children.

10 years of marriage ends with Randy Beallis charged with aggravated assault on a family member, third-degree domestic battery, and two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor. Randy Beallis stands accused of causing physical harm to his wife and mother of his children by choking her.

Beallis is carted off to jail, while Charity Beallis makes plans to file for divorce. No charges have been filed, and Dr. Beallis is innocent until proven guilty.
