Synopsis

A once prestigious lawyer on trial … raised in the Low Country of South Carolina, Hampton County.

A look at the Murdaugh Murders trial through the eyes of Rebecca “Becky” Hill, the Clerk of Court—with 40+ exclusive black and white photos!

Rebecca “Becky” Hill had known the Murdaugh family for decades. Family members of Becky’s were involved in the moonshine conspiracy together in the 1950s where Buster Murdaugh was later indicted and then acquitted.

For years, Becky had known about the rumors of corruption and crime surrounding the Murdaugh family. These accusations came and went, nothing sticking long enough to bring clarity or a clear conviction. Becky had also known of good deeds done by the Murdaughs. She was there when Randolph Murdaugh received the Order of the Palmetto, the highest honor bestowed on a civilian by the Governor of South Carolina.

What she didn’t know was that Richard Alexander “Alex” Murdaugh was capable of murdering his own wife and son.
Serving as the Clerk of Court at the time of the trial, Becky Hill was present in the courtroom in the case of the State of South Carolina v. Richard Alexander Murdaugh trial … and beyond.

Join her on her journey as she visits the crime scene, shares heartfelt details about the Judge and people involved, navigates the massive media frenzy, delves into her own family’s history with the Murdaughs, and ultimately, reads the guilty verdicts on live television. The verdicts that would put Alex Murdaugh away for two life sentences with no possibility of parole.
