South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh disbarred amid money laundering charges

Disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh has been disbarred by the state's Supreme Court for "admitted reprehensible misconduct." According to his own attorney, it also comes before he could be charged with murder. 

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of South Carolina announced that Murdaugh can no longer practice law in the state.  

"Based on his admitted reprehensible misconduct, we hereby disbar respondent Richard Alexander Murdaugh from the practice of law in South Carolina," the Supreme Court said in an order signed by all five court justices.
