Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell finally have the full SLED investigation file on former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill — and it's worse than anyone imagined. Becky quietly pleaded guilty in December to misconduct, obstruction, and perjury in exchange for community service and probation.
Now, Mandy and Liz comb over 113-pages of newly FOIA'd "Becky Files" that expose a pattern of shameless self-dealing— all while Becky allegedly declared, "I'm the Damn Clerk of Court, I do what I want."
SLED's investigation files show how Becky allegedly hosted an after-hours “sealed evidence jamboree” inside the courthouse during the Murdaugh trial and allowed fitsnews’ Will Folks, to photograph sealed crime scene exhibits in what Folks described as a virtual assembly line. These photos were later distributed by fits’ employee Jenn Wood. Actions have consequences… and apparently someone forgot to tell South Carolina.
Let's Dive in… 🥽 🦈
