SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton *Guilty* #44

[imstilla.grandma]

U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel said he sentenced Murdaugh to a harsher punishment than suggested because Murdaugh stole from “the most needy, vulnerable people” like a client who became a quadriplegic after a crash, a state trooper who was injured on the job, and a trust fund meant for children whose parents were killed in a wreck.

“They placed all their problems and all their hopes on Mr. Murdaugh and it is from those people he abused and stole. It is a difficult set of actions to understand,” Gergel said.

Convicted killer Alex Murdaugh is sentenced to an additional 40 years for stealing from clients

The 55-year-old disbarred attorney is already serving a life sentence without parole in a state prison for killing his wife and son.

Sentence is concurrent. Big picture play for Murdaugh defense is to get him a new murder trial. If (big if) they can get him off -- then he would go to Federal prison (way nicer than state prison.) Then they could start trying to chisel down that Federal sentence. Lots of other moving pieces too.

*Sadly, Drew has taken a new job not in Journalism so he’s not officially reporting on cases anymore. Here’s his take on today’s sentencing:

Good riddance, BH!

It's official: South Carolina governor @HenryMcMaster has appointed former Colleton County clerk of court Patricia Grant to her former post, replacing #BeckyHill ...

Statements made during Murdaugh's April 1 federal sentencing hearing, and federal court documents filed in advance of that hearing, inform the public that there are almost a dozen previously unknown financial victims out there, with as much as $6 million in stolen money still unaccounted for, and possibly at least one accomplice still at large.

Feds: More victims, more unaccounted-for stolen money. 'Murdaugh's deceit is staggering.'

While fraudster Alex Murdaugh has been sentenced in both state and federal courts, investigators say there are more victims, one more accomplice.

How four generations of Murdaugh brought murder and misery

No one would have predicted Alex Murdaugh would end up sentenced to life in prison — except maybe a Murdaugh being convicted of a crime was long overdue.
