I’ve been wondering about the status of BH. Will continue to see if I find more but short of SLED coming out with something, this seems to indicate for the foreseeable future, status quo in the CollCo courthouse.
Anyone in S.C. finding more current news updates?
SLED says jury tampering investigation into Becky Hill still 'active' and ongoing
S.C. State police confirmed in early January they were conducting
two, separate criminal investigations into Hill, who oversaw the double murder trial of disgraced Hampton attorney Murdaugh, and was the subject of a hearing to
consider granting him a retrial.
… Renee Wunderlich, director of Public Information for the S.C. Law Enforcement Division (SLED), stated that SLED had two open investigations into Hill: "1) regarding her alleged interactions with the jury in the State vs. Richard Alexander Murdaugh and 2) regarding allegations she used her elected position for personal gain." …. <snipped>
Will Becky Hill remain in office in Colleton County?
Hill is in the final year of her first four-year term as the elected Clerk of Court for Colleton County. The seat is up for re-election in November.
During a recent conversation with The Hampton County Guardian, before the latest allegations, Hill stated that she did not plan to run for public office again.
Hill has not been indicted or convicted of any criminal charges, nor officially sanctioned for ethics violations.
Unless Hill chooses to resign from office, she is likely to remain there until November. In South Carolina an elected official is usually only removed from office by an act of the governor, and typically only when that official is facing official criminal or ethics charges.
