PAUL & MAGGIE MURDAUGH: South Carolina vs. Alex Murdaugh for Double Homicide of wife & son *GUILTY*

1623728103817.png
This case is being kept pretty quiet, no major details released to speak of (other than it does say there were two different guns used), but no info regarding who found them, who called 911, very little else.

Of interest, the grandfather died just a few days after these murders and it sounds as if he was ill from various articles so probably not unexpected. I think of the typical motives, did grandpa have a big estate? How big in the overall family of grandpa's on down? They sound like a pretty well known family and a powerful one in their state, more on that in the article.

Questions abound in SC Murdaugh killing. Among them: Should prosecutor step aside?

Several days after two members of a prominent Hampton County family were fatally shot, questions about what happened still vastly outnumber answers.

A federal court case involving whether jail inmate Alex Murdaugh’s recorded telephone calls can be made public in response to an S.C. Freedom of Information request is only a week old, but already the first three judges assigned to the case are no longer on it, and a fourth federal judge has been assigned. No reasons were given for the reassignments, but judges can recuse themselves from a case in the event of a real or perceived conflict.

U.S. District Judge Michelle Childs of Columbia, the fourth and latest judge on the case, was assigned late Monday afternoon, according to a federal court records database.
Childs replaces veteran federal Judge David Norton of Charleston, who was assigned to the case earlier Monday. He replaced Judge Mary Lewis of Columbia, according to federal court records data base. Lewis was assigned the case last Wednesday, replacing the first judge, Bruce Howe Hendricks of Greenville.

Hmm. Is this just due to possibly knowing Murdaugh I wonder or more to it...
 
Alex Murdaugh has given up his right to accept any interest in the estate of his late wife, Maggie according to a document filed Monday in Colleton County Probate Court. Maggie Murdaugh’s stake in “Moselle,” the Colleton County property and in an Edisto Beach house would then fall to her surviving child, “Buster” Murdaugh, . That is if the move survives a challenge from the multiple creditors seeking funds from the Murdaugh family,

In her will, Maggie Murdaugh had left her estate and all of her property to husband, Alex, when she died. Her main asset is the 1,700-acre Moselle property. The property was listed for $3.9 million by the Crosby Land Company last month with “multiple interested parties,” although the listing is still marked as “available.”

This sounds like more Alex shenanigans. He is heir. He OWES money. It is an asset. He can't or shouldn't be allowed to pass it to Buster to again try to protect or move an asset.

Buster it was indicated some time back or it appeared was helping liquidate things and move assets and more.

If this is legal, it shouldn't be. I doubt it is. He may be able to do it in probate court (in a typical heir situation and estate) but that's not all that applies here... Nor the only court...
 
Alex Murdaugh Asks Judge To Recuse Herself In Jail House Calls Case

{You cannot make this stuff up.}

It looks like there’s going to be a fifth judge assigned to hear Alex Murdaugh‘s arguments as to why Richland County is not beholden to the Freedom of Information Act … when it comes to him, anyway.

the public relations company that helped Murdaugh (attempt to) put a shine on his name after his wife and son were murdered this past summer is also the firm that helped judge Childs in her bid to become the next Supreme Court nominee.

NPStrat is wholly owned by the powerful law firm Nexsen Pruet, which used to employ Childs.

And finally, according to sources, Childs’ campaign for Supreme Court nomination was funded, at least in large part, by the South Carolina Association of Justice — whose president in 2016 was … Alex Murdaugh.

”Moreover,” she noted in the order, ”a current law clerk was employed in the office of Plaintiff’s counsel, Richard A. Harpootlian P.A., before starting her judicial clerkship.”

She invited anyone who feared a conflict to request her recusal by March 11.

So Alex Murdaugh did.

I wish I could say I was surprised. SC may as well not just clean house but empty out the entire house. And maybe other states or higher up need to follow suit... I mean how far does it go...??

And these people and that man are still sooo full of themselves as to have the nerve...

This case has attention but it not nearly in as much LIMELIGHT as it SHOULD have.

Jmho.

Anyone who went to "bed with Alex Murdaugh" I think would be wise to cut their losses...

10 months of headlines yet no updates on the original topic - double murder!

Across the web I have read speculation that Alex will be charged with that, too, Any predictions here?
 
There was "hubbub" (maybe an article, can't recall?) about it a few months ago that an arrest was coming, that there is evidence that ties Alex, etc., i think it was DNA evidence... Scott Reisch even talked about it and he doesn't go down the rumor mill path much but sticks to facts. Nothing, however, has yet come of it.

I have a feeling just in reading the links and such you have shared here and the outright blatancy of this man and some of his cronies still that he is likely "shaking down" or pressuring others in power? Do you feel that way? The thing about corruption is once a judge, cop, banker, etc. goes down that path, all involved are now "owned" or can rat on each other...

The recusal or substitution of all of these judges concerns me. And how high up do his connections go and this family's 100 year history of power go? He has gotten away allegedly with a LOT and he was able to somehow... I worry they are all or most are tainted, all they have to have done is be part of one deal with Alex or make one crooked decision for him that he knows of and he could pressure them to do as he bids, couldn't he? Or threaten to tell? He sure seems the type to throw anyone under the bus to save himself... Or try to or to take them all down with him if he goes down...

On the other hand, they'd be in one heck of a spot right now... But probably used to always getting away with it... As he was... I think the public needs to keep this in the limelight and attention on it. In Arbery, they are sure slow in going after that D.A. who "helped" the McDaniels. And I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not so sure she is the only one in "power" in that case that should be charged and that others shouldn't be as well...

As to the murders, one would hope an arrest is coming and hopefully they have put a team on it that is not under the influence of Alex or any crony of his... Maybe they want it ironclad and more than ready before charging... And he is already in jail on the other charges so they wouldn't have to rush to see to it he is off the streets... I hope that's all it is...
 

Beaufort attorney Cory Fleming, who is alleged to have participated in a multi-million dollar theft scheme orchestrated by suspended Hampton County lawyer Alex Murdaugh, has been indicted on multiple financial crimes.

The 44-page state grand jury indictment against Fleming was unsealed Wednesday morning by state Judge Alison Lee and announced by the state Attorney General’s Office.

Fleming, 53, who was known as Murdaugh’s close work associate and was his classmate at the University of South Carolina School of Law, is the first associate of Murdaugh’s to be charged in connection with alleged financial crimes.

The indictment charges Fleming with money laundering, criminal conspiracy, making a false statement and breach of trust with fraudulent intent.

Murdaugh, 53, who is in jail, also was indicted on one new conspiracy charge and three new counts of making a false statement or misrepresentation in connection with an insurance transaction of $50,000 or more.

A bond hearing for Fleming has been tentatively set for 9 a.m. Thursday at the Richland County courthouse in downtown Columbia.

I've been waiting for Alex Murdaugh to be indicted for their murders especially since Maggie allegedly requested a financial audit prior to her death. SLED has kept their investigation very private so it would seem likely however they too most likely benefited from this family. moo

Murdaugh, 53, was also indicted on one new conspiracy charge and three counts of making a false statement or misrepresentation in connection with an insurance transaction of $50,000 or more. In all, there are more than a dozen new charges against Murdaugh and Fleming each.

Eric Bland, the Columbia lawyer who represents Satterfield’s two sons, said Wednesday that the state grand jury obviously did not believe Fleming’s assertions in recent months that he was unwittingly used by Murdaugh.
“The grand jury has spoken loudly and clearly that Cory Fleming was not another one of Alex Murdaugh’s victims and did not believe his defense that he was too trusting of Alex,”

Wow. And good. I hope it just keeps coming. They are on this part of it but would like to see some murder charges or murders solved too...

I'm starting to lose track of who is who... So many names and conspirators.

Fleming, a longtime friend of Alex Murdaugh, was indicted on 18 charges in connection with the settlement in the death of Murdaugh’s housekeeper Gloria Satterfield.

Judge Alison Lee set Fleming’s bond as a $100,000 surety bond with a 10% cash option. He was being held in the Alvin S. Glenn Correctional Center as of Thursday morning.
 
@GrandmaBear This article is a little refresher course:

Wednesday's new indictments allege the duo of Fleming and Murdaugh ultimately kept $3.4 million from the Satterfield settlements for themselves, concealing their theft for over two years by transferring most of the money to a fraudulent bank account controlled by Murdaugh.

Murdaugh named the bank account "Forge," after a legitimate business named Forge Consulting. That firm, well known to many in the legal profession, specializes in structured settlements and trust accounts for people who've received large sums of money in court cases.

The money laundering scheme worked like this: Fleming would receive the Satterfields' settlement money from the insurance company, then transfer it from his own law firm's coffers to Murdaugh's "Forge" bank account in an effort to make it appear the money had been sent to the legitimate Forge Consulting business, a move meant to allay suspicions of anyone reviewing transactions.

Authorities are still trying to track down where all the Satterfields' money went, along with money from numerous other clients Murdaugh is alleged to have stolen from over at least a decade.

In total, Murdaugh is accused of stealing nearly $8.5 million from clients and other victims since at least 2010. It's believed Murdaugh converted much of that money to his personal use, but also reportedly paid an associate more than $2 million out of that same phony Forge account.

So far, the state grand jury has indicted Murdaugh on 74 charges related to these crimes, including money laundering, breach of trust, gaining money by false pretense, insurance fraud, computer crimes, false statements and conspiracy. Fleming now faces many of the same charges.

The 18 charges against Fleming are the first criminal filings against him connected to Murdaugh's misdeeds, although Fleming had been implicated in the Satterfield matter as far back as September 2021.

Thank you. That is very nice and clear on this part. With the maid/Satterfield. So I'm going to try to keep that one separate in my thoughts. Like separate out the events/chapters.

It is like the Vallow case in I think I'm going to have to keep track of each murder, death or each swindle, etc. and who we learn was involved. And then the murder of the family members. And his alleged'"hired" suicide guy... That banker that was fired. And isn't there something about the big shot attorney that is representing Murdaugh and their connection... And also the deals on the hunting lodge estate and that other guy and transfer and purchase and drug running going all the way back to the father or grandfather or some such.

The boat crash, the boy's body found on a road and more.

And it just keeps coming.

I am waiting for murder charges too.
