Today’s arrest of Colleton County technology director Jeff Hill, son of embattled author/clerk of court Becky Hill, has to do with allegations of listening to telephone conversations, The State has learned. We are rounding up details and will have more news at appropriate time.

 
[…]

This Tuesday – November 21, 2023 – Jeffrey Colton Hill was arrested by deputies of the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) after a felony warrant was issued for his arrest. As of 4:28 p.m. EST, the 34-year-old – who goes by “Colt” – was booked into the Colleton County detention center, according to detainee records.

Charges have yet to be posted, but sources familiar with the arrest warrant indicate there is one single count tied to a broad wiretapping statute. Additional charges could follow, according to those familiar with the investigation.

As FITSNews previously reported, SLED was requested by the office of S.C. fourteenth circuit solicitor Duffie Stone to investigate allegations of misconduct from within the county administration’s technology department.

According to a source familiar with the newfound allegations, Jeffrey was accused of illegally recording conversations involving Meagan Utsey, the deputy county administrator who served as liaison between the county and the court during Murdaugh’s trial.

While it’s not immediately clear if Jeffrey’s investigation is related to Murdaugh or not — the timing is certainly provocative considering the allegations against his mother.

Oh man -- just to add more drama, Meagan Utsey is also the wife of Judge Arthur Cecil Utsey, IV


Judge Utsey was appointed by Governor Henry McMaster to fill the unexpired term of Probate Judge Ashley Amundson in June of 2022. He is married to Meagan Utsey, and they have three dogs. He enjoys hunting and spending time on his family farm. He is a loyal Gamecock… as tough as it is sometimes.
 
27 years is a life sentence because it takes him to age 81, but I see your point.

Plea deals always involve give and take. For example:

Prosecution:
"You give us something and spare us a trial and we will give you something in return."

Defense:
"Our defendant will change his plea from not guilty to guilty." "Now what is your offer to us?"

Prosecution:
"27 years instead of another life sentence."

Defense:
"Ok, we won't go to trial, please send us the papers for our defendant to sign stating your deal."

You see Alex had no incentive to change his plea to guilty without getting something in return. It always works this way. Another thing, Alex gives up his right to appeal by pleading guilty. That gives finality to the case.


Plea bargains are agreements between defendants and prosecutors in which defendants agree to plead guilty to some or all of the charges against them in exchange for concessions from the prosecutors.
Only 85% of that sentence is mandatory so it's possible to be only approx 23 years. I don't ever want AM out as a free man again, even if he would be 77. :mad:

Y’all what in the H E double hockey sticks is going in Colleton county?? Now Becky Hill’s son has been arrested and her phone seized! This may not be related to Murdaugh at all but it certainly doesn’t make Becky Hill look good regardless!

Colleton County, SC: The gift that keeps on giving (for WS at least).

I think the corruption is wide and deep there. Like an onion -- so many layers.

Imo.
