Summary

Attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin have gone even lower in their quest to get convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh a new trial. This time by blowing up the career of Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill. True Sunlight Podcast Co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — discuss whether the accusations against Becky amount to jury-tampering, as well as the chances that one of Dick and Jim’s strategies might actually work. On today’s episode we break down Dick Harpootlian’s and Jim Griffin’s latest strategy — a motion for a new trial, which they’re basing on juror allegations that Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill tampered with the jury that found Alex guilty of murdering Maggie and Paul. We cover a lot of ground in this episode — including what a clerk of court does, what the accusations against Becky look like and whether we think this might be the one time Dick and Jim see a win. For premium members, we’ve included a conversation about what it was like working with Becky Hill during the murder trial last winter and our observations about her behavior.For enhanced episodes with additional content, virtual happy hours with our hosts, articles, documents and more, consider joining our Luna Shark Premium Membership community to help us SHINE THE SUNLIGHT!

0:00.0	Happy Tuesday, everyone. This is Liz. I'm filling in for Mandy, who is literally making
0:09.0	her way back to South Carolina, as we speak. And we have a really great episode for you
0:14.3	today. So I think it's safe to say that we're officially back in Crazy Town where Ellic
0:19.8	Murdoch is the mad king and every day is now being spent having to talk about him and
0:26.2	his nonsense again. These past two weeks, it's been one thing after the other, with him
0:31.8	and his team of Esquires. But I have to say, this time feels a little different. On today's
0:38.6	episode, we break down Dick Harputlian's and Jim Griffin's latest strategy, which is
0:44.6	a motion for a new trial, which they're basing on serious allegations that Collatin County
0:50.1	Clerk of Court, Becky Hill, tampered with the jury that found Ellic guilty of murdering
0:55.9	Maggie and Paul. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including what a Clerk of
1:00.3	Court does, what the accusations against Becky look like, and whether we think this might
1:05.0	be the one time Dick and Jim see a win. For premium members, we've included a conversation
1:10.4	about what it was like working with Becky Hill during the murder trial last winter,
1:14.7	and our observations about her behavior. Needless to say, we are disgusted by this latest
1:20.4	performance in Ellic's ongoing, never-ending circus, and we're rightfully and righteously
1:27.0	suspicious of the claims these two jurors have made against Becky. If the allegations
1:32.3	prove to be true, then there should be consequences for Becky. But if the allegations don't prove
1:37.5	to be true, then they're better be consequences for Dick and Jim, because enough is enough.
1:42.8	All right, let's get into it.
1:44.8	Cups up, guys. How are you doing? Cups up. Cups up. I'm going to have a sip right now,
1:50.4	because there's no alcohol on this, but I feel like I need a drink, and I don't usually
1:53.9	feel like I need a drink. I think Dick and Jim are driving me to at least some sort of
