A former court clerk who worked on Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial has admitted to showing sealed court exhibits to a photographer and lying about it in court.

Former Colleton County Clerk of Court Mary Rebecca “Becky” Hill pleaded guilty Monday to four charges including obstruction of justice and perjury for showing a reporter photographs that were sealed court exhibits and then lying about it.
