Will Becky Hill Take The Fifth At Alex Murdaugh Jury Tampering Hearing?
In the latest installment of the podcast “Hidden Killers,” host Tony Brueski delved deep into the intricacies of the sensational Alex Murdaugh case, a saga that has gripped audiences for its layers of deceit, potential jury tampering, and overarching tales of corruption. Joined by defense attorney and “Defense Diaries” podcast host Bob Motta, the two discussed the scandalous developments surrounding a certain Rebecca Hill’s alleged involvement in the case. From off-the-cuff comments to fabricated Facebook posts, the controversy seems to know no bounds.
The conversation revolved around the shocking revelations surrounding Rebecca Hill’s alleged misconduct in influencing the jury. “Initially when I heard, you know, what she was saying, it felt like off the cuff comments… But then when it went all the way to the Facebook page story… she actually influenced a juror being allowed to be a juror on this trial,” Tony Brueski expressed, showcasing his astonishment.
Bob Motta responded with equal gravity, “Got one removed. Absolutely.” He elaborated, “There’s a long list of things that if just one of these things in this filing is true… it would be cause for a real retrial.”
The discussion led to the repercussions of Hill’s actions. Brueski queried, “What happens to her? What are the repercussions for Rebecca Hill?” Motta pointed out the gravity of the situation, “Jury tampering is an absolute crime. It’s a prison-type crime… it’s a felony.” He further questioned the potential course of action for Hill, contemplating whether she might take the fifth amendment, which would, in essence, be an admission that the claims in the affidavits were true.
The hosts didn’t stop there. They delved into the intricacies of the South Carolina justice system, where this case is rooted. Motta elaborated on the state’s provision for after-discovered evidence, which offers a grace period of a year if new findings emerge. The next steps would involve the trial court, and the question looming large was: What would Rebecca Hill choose to do?
With the magnitude of the allegations, it’s plausible Hill might remain silent to avoid self-incrimination. As Motta opined, “If she takes the fifth, that’s done. He is getting a new trial because she’s admitted it.” However, if she chooses to counter the claims, it opens the door for a multitude of potential outcomes, not least of which is her own arrest.
Yet, the Alex Murdaugh case isn’t just about this singular scandal. It’s a colossal legal spectacle, teeming with subplots and various parties involved. Motta remarked on its unparalleled scale and complexity: “Craziest case I’ve ever seen… It’s just so huge and there’s just so many tentacles that it’s like it’s never ending.”
The conversation rounded off with a reflection on corruption, drawing parallels with Chicago’s own history of graft and political scandals. Motta humorously mused, “I live in Chicago. I had two governors go to prison… I know what corruption is.”
In essence, the Alex Murdaugh case, with its most recent developments, has redefined the perception of legal controversies. As the story unfolds, listeners and readers alike await the truth with bated breath, hoping that justice, in the end, prevails.
