According to the motion, the perjury charge Hill ultimately pleaded guilty to arose from that very hearing – when Toal asked Hill whether she ever let members of the press view sealed exhibits from the Murdaugh trial. ***RELATED | BECKY HILL PLEADS GUILTY***HILL’S DENIALS ‘CANNOT BE CREDITED’Murdaugh’s motion did not claim Hill’s guilty plea was direct proof she tampered with the jury. Instead, it argued her criminal adjudication was powerful impeachment material in a case where the Supreme Court must weigh competing accounts about what happened behind courthouse doors. ******WHAT THE SUPREME COURT DOES WITH ITProcedurally, the immediate question is whether the Supreme Court will allow the record to be supplemented with documents generated after the trial and after the post-trial evidentiary hearing.
