The clerk of court accused of jury tampering in Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial has resigned, she announced Monday, almost two months after a judge ruled the allegations against the Colleton County, South Carolina, official were not enough to grant Murdaugh a new trial.
Rebecca “Becky” Hill’s attorney, Justin Bamberg, stated during a news conference outside the courthouse that her resignation was not related to any ongoing investigations. Hill, who was the subject of two open investigations in January, faced allegations of jury interactions and misuse of her elected position.
