Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

Becky Hill Arrested: What It Means for Alex Murdaugh’s Murder Conviction
Becky Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court who oversaw the infamous double-murder trial of Alex Murdaugh, is now at the center of a legal storm herself. In this deep dive, we break down the new criminal charges against Hill—perjury, obstruction of justice, and two counts of misconduct in office—and what these allegations mean for the future of the Murdaugh case. Hill is accused of lying under oath during a retrial hearing, leaking sealed evidence during the original trial, and exploiting her position for financial gain through book sales and public funds.
Alex Murdaugh’s legal team has long argued that Hill’s actions tainted the trial’s outcome, particularly with claims that she pressured jurors to reach a guilty verdict and told them not to be “fooled” by Murdaugh’s testimony. Though Judge Jean Toal previously denied a retrial, citing a lack of proven prejudice among the jurors, Hill’s recent indictment could cast serious doubt on the fairness of the process.
Could her perjury charge open the door for a new trial? Or will South Carolina’s higher courts side with the state’s original ruling? We explore the legal thresholds for retrials due to official misconduct, analyze juror testimony, and compare the case to historical precedents where court insiders tipped the scales of justice.
If you want the full story on how a court official’s alleged misconduct could upend one of America’s most high-profile murder convictions, this is the video you need to watch.
