This is NOT good AT ALL!! At this point, I wouldn’t trust this woman about anything. It really makes me angry about the whole thing.
Stilll ain’t seen any proof of jury tampering.
The lead guilty-voting male juror received “thousands of dollars” from unknown sources DURING THE TRIAL to stay on the jury instead of returning to work and getting replaced by an alternate.
That’s on pages 56 to 60 of Becky Hill’s now-withdrawn book.
Is that not enough jury irregularities for you?
Sounds like Becky Hill is qualified to be the president of Harvard University.
Your very clever comment deserves a reality check.
Harvard is not all that principled or all that devoted to freedom of speech or even to diversity.
The REAL reason Harvard and all those “elite” schools allow anti-Isreal demonstrations is that a substantial segment of their full-tuition-paying students (as opposed to students on scholarships and/or students who receive financial aid) come from Arabic-speaking OPEC member countries.
If a similar-size segment of Harvard’s full-tuition-paying students came from Israel, the word “Palestine” would have banned from the Harvard campus.
As to diversity, the hypocrisy of choosing Claudine Gay over the scholar whose work Claudine plagiarized is that, to fill diversity quotas, it is not the most deserving minority who is USUALLY chosen but the most vulnerable one. That is the one who has skeletons in his/her closet and can be pressured to walk the institution’s line, whatever that line is on a given day.
This whole thing has been SO disheartening, as both Jenn and Will have admitted. To have made such unique and close friendships with Ms. Hill over the course of Trial #1 – a cauldron of reporters with ‘big’ names at both the defense and prosecution tables – just to see it all disintegrate into the current pending charges and resultant investigations is pretty devastating.
Makes one question just about everyTHING and everyBODY. And NOT easy to continue objective reporting.
Yet, they do. And I say “kudos” to both of them. I will continue to follow FITSNews’ reporting.
I shall, God willing, “chapeau bas” to Will and Jen only if and when they admit, and apologize for, their own roles in setting Alex Murdaugh (“AM”) for wrongful murder convictions.
Jen and Will came up with that willing prostitute who pretended to be “sex-trafficked” and spun from thin air a story of AM choking her.
When that was too incredible even for John Meadors, Jen Wood came up with the “family annihilator” idea and most everyone, including Creighton Waters, parrotted her.
Jen and Will’s hands are not that clean.
And to gain publicity for his then-unknown blog, Will was not above fabricating a story that must have inflicted much pain on Nikki Haley’s children by suggesting to them that their mother was unfaithful to their father.
It’s a dirty world all around.
The fun part about the Nikki Haley story is that it doesn’t really matter if Will was lying or not. Either way it’s a wrecking ball to his character and morals. I mean, which would you trust more, an adulterer or a serial liar?
I guess Will can’t be accused of plagiarism since his tell-all book hasn’t come out… yet!
Will “plagiarized” one of history’s oldest stereotypes about immigrants (or foreigners): the foreign man is a thug or a spy; and the foreign woman is a slut or prostitute.
Had Will been a contemporary of Marie Curie, he would have made up a similar story about her. Perhaps even some contemporary of Marie Curie made up similar stories about her.
That is the way of the world.
And Alex Murdaugh is still guilty of murdering his wife and son. None of this Becky Hill mess has anything to do with jury tampering. Jim & Pootie have tried to push any number of false talking points along the way to exonerate their guilty client (and keep bringing in the big bucks). They should have to share a cell with him too.
Ms. Hill has done some sketchy stuff, but ZERO evidence of jury tampering. Even in the 2000 emails (which never should have been released).
A male guilty-voting juror received, according to “Ms. Hill’s” book pages 56 – 60, “thousands of dollars” from undisclosed sources to stay on the jury (instead of returning to work and being replaced by an alternate) is not sufficient jury irregularities for you?
BTW, in the SLED-obtained affidavits, one juror said he spoke to Becky Hill about his (that juror’s) financial hardships in staying on the jury instead of returning to work. Every indication is it is the same one-and-only male juror who flew with “Ms. Hill” and her “plus one” (her daughter with singing ambitions) to New York all-expenses-paid-by-NBC right after sentencing.
If that still is not enough for you, read her book (if you can still find a copy). You and/or others may find in it even more disturbing stuff than I did.
That may be the real reason they are taking it out of print: when people are infected with stupid arrogance, they think no one will catch their contradictions until the stupidly arrogant bump into the real world of globalized knowledge.
Quotes from “Behind the Doors of Justice,” pp. 59-60:
“One of the twelve original jurors . . . almost didn’t serve because of the financial burdens he would be under. Option 1: Serve on the jury. Help decide the ‘Trial of the Century.” Risk jail time for lack of child support payment. Option 2: Stay at regular job and pay child support. Maintain his freedom.
“Judge Newman … asked the juror to take a day and think about whether he (the juror) could serve …
(Becky Hill) “was present in Judge Newman’s chambers when the juror came back the next day and said, ‘I received an unexpected blessing.’ Three close friends of the juror chipped in and paid the financially strapped juror his regular salary. For all six weeks of the trial! Several thousand dollars.”
Three friends – not some anonymous person bribing a juror. This juror voted to convict, along with 11 jurors, because the case was overwhelmingly proven beyond reasonable doubt.
SubZeroIQ, take a chill pill and tell the truth instead of your incessant nonsensical ramblings.
Veritas, I have questions that maybe you could answer….
1. How far along into the trial was it when the child support guilty voting juror was trying to get out of jury duty?
2. How did his 3 close friends know how much money to donate to him to cover exactly 6 weeks worth of salary for the trial?
3. How delinquent on child support payments does one have to be in South Carolina to face jail time? I feel like a month and a half delinquent isn’t going to cause one to face jail as a consequence, especially when you have a valid excuse like jury duty that is documented. No payment plans available for back pay in SC? What if he had been sick or hospitalized with Covid? Straight to jail for him! C’mon people!
4. Was this juror delinquent on CS payments prior to serving on the jury? Did the financial blessing from his 3 close friends cover prior delinquent payments as well?
5. Did the financial blessings only cover CS payments or did they cover all living expenses for 6 weeks?
6. Is there a record of the exact dollar amount he was blessed with?
7. Why is Becky reporting a juror’s private financial business in her gossip memoir? I’d sue her if I had been a juror and she published my financial business without my consent. Did she have this juror’s written consent? Seems highly unethical at best and should be illegal. I would be terrified to be a future juror in SC if I had to worry about court clerks putting my private financial hardships in their published book. IMO, this should be added to the ethics complaints.
Thank you, Lizzie0714!
I hope so-called Veritas can answer your brilliant questions without insulting you too, which (s)he always does to me.
But one of your questions I can answer; and the answer is the U.S. Supreme Court case of Turner v. Rogers, which proves that Becky “Boo” Hill, not only violated that juror’s privacy, but was also “BS-ing” in the process and should have known better because that case arose of nowhere else but South Carolina.

Turner v. Rogers, 564 U.S. 431 (2011), is a case that was decided by the United States Supreme Court on June 20, 2011, relating to the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. The Court held that Turner was not entitled to a public defender in cases regarding family nonsupport. However, in cases in which a state is not required to provide counsel, it must provide some other safeguard to reduce the risk of erroneous deprivation of liberty in civil contempt cases. The particular case the Court took under review was a child support payment case and the point of contention was the process of the defendant’s income determination by the court.
I am NOT a lawyer; but I can safely say “No, it is NOT straight to jail without a hearing to show the excuses for delinquencies.”
Thanks again for your interest and God bless.
You and SubZeroIQ can do your own research.
I couldn’t have said it better than Lizzie0714, whom I applaud enthusiastically and thank sincerely.
So-called Veritas, please read Lizzie0714’s reply and respond to it if you can.
Hills book is still available on Amazon – wow!
