Confrontation and Sentencing Await Alex Murdaugh in Financial Crimes Case
Disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh, who is already serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife and son, is set to be sentenced for a decade's worth of thefts from clients and his law firm. Murdaugh, who stole millions of dollars from his clients, will face his victims in court as they confront him. Prosecutors have negotiated a 27-year prison sentence for the financial crimes, which will serve as an insurance policy in case his murder conviction is overturned on appeal. Murdaugh denies killing his family members and is seeking a new trial. He also faces federal financial crime charges and other local charges related to insurance fraud.
