Huff PostAlex Murdaugh is seen in March after being convicted of murdering his wife and son. via Associated Press Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys claim in a new legal filing that the convicted murderer lied about how his family’s dogs fatally tripped his housekeeper in 2018 as part of a bogus insurance claim, while suggesting that any insurance money stolen be repaid by her family and not him. The disgraced former attorney, who’s currently serving a life sentence for his wife and son’s murders, “invented the critical facts” behind Gloria Satterfield’s fall at his South Carolina home in order to pocket insurance money that was intended for her family, Monday’s filing states. Murdaugh said his family’s dogs tripped Gloria Satterfield on some steps, causing her to suffer fatal injuries at his South Carolina property, pictured. via Associated Press It was through settlements from other parties sued in connection with Satterfield’s death that her estate received about $7.5 million, Myrtle Beach station WPDE reported last year.
