Alex Murdaugh's attorneys seek reduction in their client's $7 million bond
Fox News
Attorneys for disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh, who is currently facing dozens of criminal charges and a slew of civil lawsuits, motioned this week to get their client's $7 million bond reduced.
Murdaugh, the heir to a legal dynasty in the South Carolina low country, was arrested in October for allegedly stealing $3.4 million in insurance money from the children of his housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, who died in 2018 after reportedly tripping and falling in the Murdaugh family home.
Just a month before that, Murdaugh was arrested and released following a botched suicide attempt in which he arranged for a man to shoot him so that his oldest son could collect a $10 million insurance policy, according to investigators.
Alongside criminal charges for insurance fraud, conspiracy, filing a false police report, embezzlement, money laundering, forgery, and other offenses, Murdaugh is also facing millions of dollars worth of civil lawsuits.
