Disgraced Lawyer Alex Murdaugh Admits 22 New Crimes

Dis­cred­it­ed lawyer Alex Mur­daugh con­tin­ued his shock­ing con­fes­sions. Already serv­ing life for killing his wife and son, Mur­daugh admit­ted steal­ing mil­lions from clients and his house­keep­er’s estate.

Mur­daugh­’s lawyer said the dis­barred lawyer was “coop­er­a­tive” and “apol­o­gized” to vic­tims. He did not dis­pute any charges in the com­plex finan­cial schemes.

A fed­er­al indict­ment accused Mur­daugh of run­ning dif­fer­ent scams from 2005–2021. He sur­rep­ti­tious­ly trans­ferred client set­tle­ment funds and con­spired with a banker found guilty of fraud.

Mur­daugh also covert­ly divert­ed near­ly $3.5 mil­lion from his house­keep­er’s estate after her death. He had faced no charges in the mys­te­ri­ous 2018 falling inci­dent until his admissions.

The con­cur­rent life sen­tences for the bru­tal fam­i­ly mur­ders meant Mur­daugh faced no addi­tion­al jail time. How­ev­er, his stun­ning con­fes­sions final­ly gave answers to vic­tims of his pro­found betrayal.
