Murdaugh Murders Saga: South Carolina Chief Justice Taps Veteran Judge To Oversee High-Profile Case

South Carolina chief justice Donald Beatty has appointed a judge from outside the Palmetto State’s scandal-scarred fourteenth judicial circuit to handle preliminary matters related to the ‘Murdaugh Murders’ true crime saga – a move which raises serious questions about the proximity of multiple judges within the circuit to this rapidly unspooling drama.

To say nothing of their propriety …

According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, the court has chosen veteran S.C. circuit court judge Clifton Newman to preside over any initial Murdaugh-related proceedings.

In addition to hearing motions related to any charges filed in connection with these ongoing investigations, Newman would also be asked sign off on search warrants sought by investigators as they continue to probe this far-ranging criminal enterprise.

I figure anything of value has already been taken out of the homes by family. MM’s things may have been addressed in a will or trust.

The thing of value is the home (Not what's in it) and the numerous properties and land they stand on. When AM goes to sell, MB's mother's attys will be at the closing and will get what is owed their client before the lien is lifted. AM will get what's leftover. Or the bank will get it. A very effective way to make someone's life miserable and to get paid.

Found this funny from Mandy:

David and I were just running in our neighborhood and some dude in a big truck yelled “gotta run quicker so y’all can get that podcast out."

Corrupt judges make me physically ill. The rule of law is the last hope for victims and the last line of defense against a totally corrupt State. Shame on the SC judges who participated in this.

Murdaugh Murders: How Alex Murdaugh Allegedly Took Millions From His Dead Housekeeper’s Family

This is just outrageous beyond belief, especially on top of what sounds like it was not “natural” causes or tripping over dogs. Absolutely unbelievable evil.

Judge Clifton Newman has had many roles in the legal profession. Prior to being elected Circuit Court Judge by the South Carolina General Assembly in 2000, he was a partner in his own law firm, first in Cleveland, Ohio, then in Columbia and Kingstree, South Carolina. He also served as a defense attorney, civil practitioner, and prosecutor. “I’ve run the gamut, as far as handling all aspects of the law,” says Judge Newman.

He’s been very involved with the ABA’s Judges Initiative Committee of the Business Law Section, which seeks to increase judicial involvement in the section. “The Business Law Section is an amazing resource,” he says. “It’s an honor to serve on this committee.”

With a judgement you can also close their bank account, no money can be deposited or withdrawn until the judgement is paid.
I have done this, you have to have their bank account number and present a copy of the judgement to the bank and they will lock down the account immediately.
I recieved my money the next day.
It was thousands not millions but it is another way to cause a problem to someone who owes you money.

@Kacen

1) Facebook photos appear to show Alex & Maggie Murdaugh attending the 2016 wedding of a top Forge employee. In a statement to
@islandpacket
, Forge acknowledged that Michael Gunn had a personal relationship with the Murdaugh couple.

I thought "Forge" was just a dummy company? Not to be confused with Forge Consulting LLC. So is this MG an employee of Forge Consulting LLC?

 

[LotusPawprint]

It's been a week since Mr. Harpootlian spoke of an individual who may be involved in the murders and said they should know by "this week" (last week now).

Waiting....



"Harpootlian also said on TODAY Wednesday that Murdaugh's legal team is investigating "an individual or individuals" they believe may have been involved in the murders of Murdaugh's wife and son.

"We think we'll know this week whether the one suspect we're looking at bears further scrutiny, and we'll make that information available to law enforcement," Harpootlian said."

this story is neverending
can't wait for the trial, book, and movie

I'm pretty sure AM would be a total rehab fail. LOL He strikes me as a 'control freak' who gives orders but doesn't take commands well.

e.g. AM's words and actions at the hospital the night of the 2019 boat crash are extremely illuminating. According to the story below, he aggressively tried to orchestrate, dominate and manipulate / intimidate(?) literally everyone involved, from all the boat patients to their parents to the hospital staff to the investigators.

This is why I'm convinced he's NOT a drug addict (by definition, their lives are out of control!) and why he's NOT at "rehab".

This sure stinks of an organized criminal enterprise here. Bring on the RICO charges!!! Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act - Wikipedia

Under the law, the meaning of racketeering activity is set out at 18 U.S.C. § 1961. As currently amended it includes:

• Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, extortion, arson, robbery, bribery, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
• Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice, slavery, racketeering, gambling, money laundering, commission of murder-for-hire, and many other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18);
• Embezzlement of union funds;
• Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud;
• Drug trafficking; long-term and elaborate drug networks can also be prosecuted using the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute;
• Criminal copyright infringement;
• Money laundering and related offenses;
• Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);
• Acts of terrorism.

just look up carmen tevis mullen...there's so much to sleuth here it's exhausting.

and add on perry buckner. it's literally beyond corrupt.

SLED opens criminal probe of Murdaugh housekeeper death as family sues over missing money

"The Satterfields' new attorneys at Charleston-based Bland Richter law firm say circuit judge Perry Buckner in in October 2020 approved a request by Westendorf and Fleming to dismiss the wrongful death case for Gloria Satterfield, saying the case had been resolved.

Alex Murdaugh also signed the request, which the Satterfields' attorneys claim is strange for a policy holder whose insurance company is being sued. They expect an attorney representing the insurer (Lloyds of London in Murdaugh's case) would've been involved in such a decision, as opposed to the individual policy holder."

State Supreme Court hears case on judicial selection

CTM, the judge who bland discovered as signing the insurance lawsuit within the satterfield/murdaugh case, is questioned in the above link. she is above reproach according to all the research i've done (IMOO) but when asked in a 15 page south carolina court referendum, the answer to "legal misconduct" was redacted.

I am in no way sleuthing an innocent party, but she allegedly signed off on the buried satterfield/bland/murdaugh "hidden" settlement that bland in some way "discovered"...

ironically (or not), interesting that not a murdaugh is mentioned. JMO but that's on purpose.

i'm sure you're all busy with gabby's case...but this one is going to get super interesting in the next few weeks...

Wowsa!

 

[StrangerThanFiction]

A lawyer representing the two heirs of Alex Murdaugh’s dead housekeeper and nanny said Tuesday he’s located the missing judge’s order that approved a $4.3 million settlement in a case where the heirs were to get $2.76 million but got nothing.

“I will be turning this order over to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division,” Columbia attorney Eric Bland said., “Given the fact that SLED is not only investigating the housekeeper’s death, but also what happened to the money in the subsequent insurance settlement.”

The judge’s order showing that the two heirs of the late Gloria Satterfield were to get $2.76 million is important because those heirs — Satterfield’s sons — in fact never got any money, Bland said.


The order, dated May 13, 2019, was apparently signed by South Carolina Judge Carmen Mullen, Bland said.

Underneath the signature are the words, “Presiding Judge.”

Honest question: how does he just “find” the missing document? In a lost and found pile somewhere? Used a lock and key to get into somebody’s journal? Serious, I’m fascinated...

Agree. And from my POV, AM is simply an overall, general “fail” as a human being. MOO

 

[StrangerThanFiction]

Im giving SLED the BOD for having uncovered what Eric Bland has and choosing not to say anything just yet. Eric is the only person so far that doesn’t appear to be intimidated by Murdaugh & friends.

Hoping more people get in line behind him, or along side him!

“Judge Newman is not a good draw for Murdaugh and the others who will be charged,” one veteran South Carolina criminal defense attorney told me. “They are all going to prison.”
