Speaker 1: Crime Alart hourly update, breaking crime news. Now guilty, Guilty, Guilty.

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm Nicole Parton. A former court clerk who served during

00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: known as Becky Hill, the former county clerk of court,

Speaker 2: admitted in court on Monday to obstruction of justice, perjury,

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: and misconduct in office. He'll confess to releasing sealed court

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: exhibits to the press during the trial, lying about it later,

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: and using her position to promote a book she co

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: authored about the case. That book was later pulled from

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: shelves over plagiarism concerns. In court, He'll said, I take

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: full responsibility for my actions, your honor.

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: I want to say that I am truly sorry and

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: I do take full responsibility for my actions. There is

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: no excuse for our mistakes. I am ashamed of them

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: and I will carry that shame with me for the

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: rest of my life.

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Judge Heath Taylor sentence Hill to three years probation and

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: one hundred hours of community service, saying he didn't believe

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: jail time was necessary. Taylor noted heel had been humiliated

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: throughout the whole ordeal, adding a lot of folks got

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: swept up in the hooplaw about the trial. A lot

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: of folks probably made a lot of money, but you didn't.

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: Hill's arrest came in May, more than two years after

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: Alec Murdog was convicted of murdering his wife, Maggie and

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: son Paul at the family's hunting estate in twenty twenty one.

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: Murdog is serving two consecutive life sentences. Investigators say Hill

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: obstructed justice during the twenty twenty three trial by allowing

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: sealed evidence photos to be viewed by outsiders, then gave

30
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: false testimony during a hearing on Murdog's bid for a

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: new trial. She also allegedly received nearly twelve one thousand

32
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 2: dollars in improper bonuses that she gave herself and used

33
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: her office for personal financial gain. Hill resigned in March

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: twenty four amid the investigation. The South Carolina Ethics Commission

35
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: later filed seventy six ethic violations against her. Her attorney

36
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: called the probationary sentence appropriate, and Hill says she's committed

37
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: to making amends. More Crime and Justice news after this

38
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: two Florida, in home nurses have been arrested for separate

39
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: allegations of child neglect involving the same baby. Investigators have

40
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: confirmed the most recent arrest occurred last week, while the

41
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: other nurse was arrested earlier this year and sentenced to

42
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: a year in jail. The Cape Coral baby, a premature

43
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: infant born at twenty four weeks, required round the clock

44
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: nursing care due to serious health complications. Sixty four year

45
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: old Charlene fluff Guard was arrested on December four and

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: charged with child neglect after allegedly failing to provide necessary

47
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: care during a medical emergency. According to the arrest affidavit

48
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: detailed that between September fifteen and sixteen, the child's oxygen

49
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: level fell below eighty eight, but pluff Guard allegedly silenced

50
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: the alarms and did not administer oxygen or contact emergency services.

51
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: The child's parents discovered the situation the following morning and

52
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: called ems, who transported the child to a children's hospital.

53
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: The hospital confirmed the child had experienced prolonged oxygen deprivation.

54
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: After pluff Guard's arrest, she appeared before a judge who

55
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: set her bill at seventy five hundred dollars, and she

56
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: was released. The judge ruled that pluff Guard cannot have

57
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: contact with the miners or the victim. She must also

58
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: stay at least five hundred feet away from the victim's home.

59
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: Pluff Guard's arrest came less than two months after another

60
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Lee County nurse was sentenced for allegedly causing harm to

61
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: the same baby. In October, Kelly Parago was sentenced to

62
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: a year in the Lee County jail after pleading guilty

63
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: to child neglect charges. I will never forget how this

64
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: has harmed Lucas and our family, said the baby's mother.

65
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable that two women almost let him die.

66
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: Investigators revealed that Parago intentionally did not feed the baby,

67
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: as surveillance footage showed her disposing of the baby formula

68
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: in the sink. This agreement ensures that she will never

69
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: ever be given the responsibility to care for a child again,

70
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: said the mother. According to Wink News, both Parago and

71
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: pluff Guard worked at a childcare agency called Team Select.

72
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Parago was employed there at the time of her charges.

73
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Pluff Guard, however, was fired from Team Select and transferred

74
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: to another location where she worked. When the recent allegations arose,

75
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: the attorney for the child and family, Justin Rosa, said,

76
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: we just want justice for not only this young baby,

77
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: but for the other babies who may have been affected.

78
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: Rosa went on to say when agencies become aware of

79
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: an issue or allegations, they shouldn't just move a nurse

80
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: to a different location, but rather get the nurse out

81
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: of the field. Detectives say this isn't pluff Guard's first

82
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 2: run in with the law. She was previously investigated for

83
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: a similar allegation in twenty four although those charges were

84
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: not pursued by the State Attorney's office. Police in Florida

85
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 2: are asking for your help and locating a missing teen

86
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 2: from Flagler County. The Flagler County Sheriff's Office is looking
