Alex Murdaugh’s attorney speaks out on shooting incident: ‘He clearly knew what he had done was wrong’
Fox News
The attorney representing Alex Murdaugh, a high-profile South Carolina lawyer whom police believe arranged a botched plot to be shot and killed in order to garner millions in life insurance payouts to his son, revealed Wednesday that he expects his client will soon be charged himself and that he “clearly knew what he had done was wrong.”
"He was in a dark, dark, dark place and wanted to help his remaining son Buster in any way he could and he thought this was the only way he could leave him with anything," Harpootlian said.

"He clearly knew what he had done was wrong and explained to us a couple things," the attorney added about the visit with Murdaugh this past Monday. "One, the murder of his son and wife 90 days ago took a tremendous toll on him, his father died of cancer that same week – most people couldn’t get through that. He got through it with the use of opioids and then last week it was uncovered that he had converted some client and law firm money to his own use, and again spent most of that on opioids."
