## Resource

Here's what doesn't add up. The state prosecutor who handled Becky Hill's criminal case told the court there wasn't enough evidence to charge her with jury tampering. Four months later, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Hill engaged in "shocking jury interference" and placed "her fingers on the scales of justice." She'd already pleaded guilty to misconduct, obstruction, and perjury. But the tampering charge — the one that actually describes what the Supreme Court says she did — was never filed. Eric Faddis spent years as a prosecutor and now practices defense. He explains how that gap happens, what it means, and whether it suggests something more than a difference of legal opinion. Alex Murdaugh's defense team isn't waiting to find out. Five days after the Supreme Court ruling, they filed a federal Section 1983 lawsuit against Hill personally — seeking six hundred thousand dollars in damages and, more importantly, the civil discovery tools the criminal process never gave them. Subpoenas. Depositions. The right to drag people under oath and ask questions nobody in the state system has asked. Dick Harpootlian already said the quiet part out loud: is Becky Hill a "lone wolf"? The only people trying to find out are working for the man she allegedly helped convict.
