    Clerk Hill's Co-Author's Tell All
    Apr 16 2024
    We start with the latest news on Colleton County Clerk of Court, Becky Hill. You may remember that Neil Gordon co-authored, Behind the Doors of Justice, with Becky Hill. Melissa Gordon was the photographer for the book. Since the book was published, Hill admitted to plagiarizing a portion of the book and she faces multiple ethics investigations. Hill was also accused by Alex Murdaugh's defense team of potential jury tampering for some of the statements she allegedly made to jurors. Neil and Melissa Gordon join the podcast to discuss how the controversy surrounding Hill affected sales of the book and their opinion of Hill. Plus, the Gordon's discuss how law enforcement interviewed them about their time spent with Becky Hill. Neil Gordon is starting a new project, a book and video series, with Mike Petchenik.
