Murdaugh murders: Court clerk accused of jury tampering featured in Netflix series | Dan Abrams Live

Attorneys for convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh are appealing his conviction based on what they call “unprecedented” and “shocking” actions by Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. She is accused of telling jurors to not be “misled” or “fooled” by Murdaugh’s testimony. Now, she’s featured in the second season of a Netflix series about the Murdaugh family. Law & Crime Network correspondent Angenette Levy and NewsNation contributor Jesse Weber discuss.

Woman’s intuition ya’ right. Disgraceful clerk of court she was writing a book Omg this is serious! Shame on her. Hill should be charged. Imagine the family’s horror to revisit this 🙏 to the family

Absolutely NOT "woman's intution." Becky Hill wrote that in her OWN book that she communicated with the jurors "with our eyes." That binds her.
Just a reminder from my own 22-26 February 2010 jury trial with the same Judge Clifton Newman presiding, here is an excerpt from THE official transcript of MY Day-2 (23 February 2010) of trial (where I defended myself WITHOUT A LAWYER and, thank God, ultimately defeated FALSE criminal charges against myself) which proves that facial expressions to the jury are a no-no.
[page 2, line 1] Dr. Faltas: Good morning, Your Honor.
[2] The Court: Good morning, everyone.
[3] Dr. Faltas: If it pleases the Court?
[4-5] The Court: All right. It does not please the Court. I’ll recognize you when I’m ready, ma’am.
[6] Dr. Faltas: Thank you.
[7-17] The Court: Okay. A few things. First, with regard to the court reporter’s inability to understand Dr. Faltas and the names of all those cases: Dr. Faltas, I’m going to have you to, with the assistance of the clerk’s office, copy the -- this will not require a response. This will not require a response. With the assistance of the clerk’s office to copy the first page of all of the cases that you cited yesterday and, Madam Clerk, either you or someone from the clerk’s office will need to assist her with copying those things at the clerk’s office during a break in the proceedings at some appropriate time.
[18] The Clerk: Yes, Your Honor.
[fast forward to pp 76-77 OF the first part of THAT DAY'S transcript ] [24 to page 77, line 2] Dr. Faltas: When I was there before, that was before the reconsideration before Judge James and before they had decided to release the computers back to me. So there was no...
[3] The Court: Okay. I understand.
[4-10] Dr. Faltas: And I want to put on the record once again Ms. Helms making faces at me or at the jurors when she doesn’t hear me and gestures and this is all to my detriment. This is going to be a recurring issue, and if there is an appeal, there is going to be an issue with my ability to obtain the transcript from her. And I want that on the record, if it pleases the Court.
[11-21] The Court: All right. It’s on the record. And witnesses should not make faces. None of the participants should make facial reactions to anything in such a way as to cause a juror to form an opinion of any of the participants based on expressions made by anyone in the courtroom, be that person a court reporter, a judge, a law clerk, a bailiff, witness, anyone, spectator. Poker face, everyone, as to everything and we’ll follow that rule in this court. [¶] Okay. Now, with regard to the computers, they’re at the police department. You have the right to go there and get them.
[22] Ms. Weiss: Yes, Your Honor

So, "poker face, everyone" was the direct ORDER from Judge Clifton Newman. Becky Hill should have known that but ADMITTED communication with the jurors at least with her eyes.
Strike one against Becky Hill.

[JestSomeFamilyFun]

Love love love the shows Banfield, Cuomo, Jesse Waters, Dan A but please please remove that annoyingly large banner on the bottom of the screen. It covers up a lot and is very distracting.

[frisbeeshawn]

She was right though to not be fooled by Alex. Lol

[mariapilarme]

Do you believe Alex Murdaugh attorneys????

[tekarock]

Very disappointed in you Jessy. She didn’t have a book deal. She is self published. 😳
