Why Won't The System Stop Either Kouri Richins Or Becky Hill?

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

One convicted murderer is threatening people from a jail cell. Another convicted murderer is the only person using legal tools to investigate the court official who corrupted his trial. And in both cases, the system that's supposed to handle this isn't handling it.Eric Faddis spent years as a felony prosecutor and now defends people facing the same charges. He examines both the Kouri Richins and Alex Murdaugh situations through the lens of systemic failure.In Park City, Kouri Richins wrote that the people who convicted her "picked the wrong one" before the judge even sentenced her to life without parole. She allegedly instructed a family member to lie under oath from jail. Her own sons asked the court to keep her locked away forever. Faddis walks through what she can still reach from inside, who should be worried, and what legal protections actually hold.In South Carolina, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that former clerk Becky Hill engaged in "shocking jury interference" that denied Murdaugh a fair trial. Hill pleaded guilty to misconduct, obstruction, and perjury — but the state never charged her with tampering. So Murdaugh's team filed a federal lawsuit to get the discovery tools the state won't use. The AG is now threatening the death penalty for the retrial — and Harpootlian is calling it a campaign stunt.Faddis breaks down the legal mechanics, the strategic implications, and what happens when the only person investigating corruption is the person it was used against.Footer Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
