A highly anticipated ethics hearing into Becky Hill, the former Colleton County clerk of court who gained national attention during Alex Murdaugh's murder trial, has been postponed indefinitely due to a pending criminal investigation. The S.C. Ethics Commission, which had scheduled the hearing for Dec. 19, cited the investigation by the South Carolina Attorney General's office as the reason for the delay.
The ethics hearing was expected to shed light on 76 alleged violations, which the commission had found probable cause for in May. These include accusations that Hill misused her position for personal gain and to promote her book about the Murdaugh trial, "Behind the Doors of Justice." Hill’s legal team requested a postponement in light of the investigation, and commission staff did not object. The Attorney General’s office and the Ethics Commission declined to comment.
A legal source familiar with the Ethics Commission explained that pausing proceedings during a criminal probe is standard practice. “It prevents an accused official from having to give up their right against self-incrimination in an ethics hearing while potentially wanting to invoke it during a criminal investigation,” the source said.
Hill resigned from her $101,256-a-year position in March, several months after releasing her book, which provided a behind-the-scenes look at Murdaugh's six-week trial. In February 2023, Alex Murdaugh was convicted of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son Paul, and is now serving two life sentences.
The ethics charges against Hill include multiple instances of alleged self-enrichment. In September 2022 and March 2023, she purportedly awarded herself $2,500 bonuses. Hill is also accused of negotiating with a media company to use the Colleton County courthouse in exchange for promoting her book. Additional accusations involve misusing county funds to buy office decorations, gifts, and meals for courthouse staff and directing payments to a company with which she had a business relationship.
Hill's conduct during the Murdaugh trial has also come under fire. Murdaugh’s lawyers, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, have claimed Hill tried to influence the jury to reach a quick guilty verdict, allegedly to boost her book sales. While Hill denied these allegations, they led to a court hearing in which Circuit Judge Jean Toal determined that, although Hill’s comments to jurors were improper, there wasn't enough evidence to prove they affected the verdict.
Hill's reputation took another hit last December when she admitted to plagiarizing parts of her book from an unpublished BBC report on the Murdaugh case. The book was subsequently pulled from publication, and Hill’s co-author denied any knowledge of the plagiarism, which, although not a crime, is widely regarded as a severe breach in the literary community.
Despite these controversies, Hill had initially emerged from Murdaugh’s trial as a helpful, well-regarded presence. Even South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who attended the trial, publicly praised her, affectionately calling her “Becky Boo.” Due to Wilson’s ties to Hill, Rick Hubbard, the 11th Judicial Circuit Solicitor, and his deputy Suzanne Mayes were assigned to assist in the case, though Wilson’s office maintains oversight.
Hill's legal and ethical troubles have tarnished her once-strong reputation. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division confirmed it is investigating allegations of jury tampering and misuse of office. With the ongoing criminal investigation, the postponed ethics hearing marks another twist in the complex saga surrounding Becky Hill’s role in one of the most high-profile murder trials in recent history.

Disbarred South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh has been officially removed from a wrongful death lawsuit following a $500,000 settlement with the family of Mallory Beach, who died in a tragic boat crash in February 2019. This development, confirmed by court documents, brings a partial close to the legal aftermath of the fatal accident, which also involved Murdaugh’s son Paul, who was accused of driving the boat under the influence at the time of the crash.
Mallory Beach, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, was on board the boat with Paul Murdaugh and friends when it crashed into the Archers Creek Bridge near Parris Island. The collision threw Beach overboard, and after an extensive search, her body was discovered in a nearby river eight days later. Beach’s death sparked a lengthy legal battle as her family sought accountability for the crash.
According to law enforcement officials, Paul Murdaugh, who was also 19, was allegedly operating the boat while intoxicated. Witnesses and authorities indicated that the group had been drinking on the evening of the accident, and Paul had been observed purchasing alcohol at a Parker’s Kitchen convenience store in Ridgeland earlier that night. In 2019, Paul was charged with three felony counts, including boating under the influence causing death. However, he never stood trial due to his death in June 2021, when he and his mother, Maggie, were killed at the family’s Colleton County hunting estate. Alex Murdaugh, now serving a life sentence, was later convicted for the murders of his wife and son.
In October 2023, a court filing detailed that Murdaugh’s insurance provider, Progressive, agreed to pay $500,000 as part of a settlement with the Beach family. However, the payment was contingent upon Murdaugh’s removal from the wrongful death lawsuit. The filing stated, “Progressive will only proceed with this payout on the condition that Alex Murdaugh is released from the litigation.” This $500,000 payout was the latest in a series of legal resolutions linked to the case.
The financial settlement from Progressive adds to a prior settlement agreement reached with Parker’s Corporation. In July 2023, the Beach family settled with Parker’s for $15 million. The convenience store chain was implicated in the lawsuit because Paul Murdaugh, who was underage, allegedly purchased alcohol there before the crash. A judge approved this settlement after a prolonged period of negotiation.
The legal proceedings surrounding the wrongful death lawsuit have drawn significant attention, particularly given Alex Murdaugh’s high-profile criminal cases. Murdaugh, once a prominent Lowcountry attorney, was disbarred following allegations of extensive financial misconduct. Prosecutors argued that financial strains and the looming Beach lawsuit motivated Murdaugh to kill his wife and son, fearing that his theft of millions from clients would soon be exposed. In March 2023, a jury convicted him on two counts of murder for the deaths of Paul and Maggie, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
In addition to the murder charges, Murdaugh faced further legal consequences for his financial misdeeds. In May 2023, he pleaded guilty to 22 financial-related charges, with the court ordering him to pay $8.7 million in restitution to his victims. He received an additional 40-year sentence for these offenses, intensifying the overall penalties for the crimes he committed.
Despite Murdaugh’s criminal convictions and ongoing life sentence, the civil litigation involving Mallory Beach’s tragic death had lingered until this month’s settlement. Following Progressive’s $500,000 payout, the court closed the Beach family’s wrongful death lawsuit, bringing an end to the legal proceedings related to the fatal boat crash.
The Beach family’s attorney commented, “This resolution provides a measure of closure to the family, who has endured unimaginable loss and prolonged litigation. Our hope is that the Beach family can now begin the process of healing.”
This settlement marks the final chapter in the legal cases connected to the fatal boat crash that took Mallory Beach’s life, a tragedy that ultimately set off a chain of events ending with multiple convictions and financial penalties for Alex Murdaugh.

Alex Murdaugh’s appeal to overturn his 40-year federal sentence for financial crimes has been denied, putting another nail in the coffin for the once-powerful attorney who led a double life of deceit and betrayal. After pleading guilty to stealing millions from clients, friends, and his own law firm, Murdaugh had hoped to argue that the sentence was too harsh. However, the court quickly dismissed his appeal, pointing out that Murdaugh had waived his right to challenge the sentence when he accepted his plea deal. Now, even if his murder convictions for the deaths of his wife and son are ever overturned, Murdaugh will still face decades behind bars.
The crimes he committed were staggering—years of siphoning off funds meant for victims, all while living a life of unimaginable luxury. And while Murdaugh’s lawyers claimed the sentence was excessive, the court disagreed, saying he earned every day of the 40 years through his "massive fraud" and betrayal of trust. For Murdaugh’s victims, this latest ruling brings some long-overdue justice, closing the door on one of South Carolina’s most notorious legal scandals.

He was a successful lawyer, loving husband, and doting father, or so everyone thought. Alex Murdaugh, a once respected South Carolina attorney, has been convicted of stealing millions from his clients, friends, and even his own family. His crimes shocked the nation, leading many to wonder what could drive someone to betray those closest to them. After pleading guilty to a slew of financial crimes, Murdaugh attempted to appeal his 40-year federal sentence but was swiftly denied. Now serving consecutive life sentences for the murders of his wife and son, Murdaugh’s fall from grace is a story of greed, deception, and the devastating consequences of betrayal.
The federal government fought hard to ensure justice for Murdaugh's victims, seeking the harshest possible sentence for the sheer scope of his crimes. Prosecutors have stated that the disgraced lawyer stole at least $10 million over 15 years, and it's possible another $6 million is still missing. This shocking case reveals a dark underbelly of manipulation and deceit behind a carefully constructed facade of respectability.
