Prosecutors: Alex Murdaugh stole from brother; family firm

Associated Press  

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A disbarred South Carolina attorney charged with killing his wife and son has been indicted on another round of financial crimes. This time, prosecutors said Alex Murdaugh stole $295,000 from his brother and the law firm founded by his prominent legal family a century ago. In the latest round of indictments, prosecutors said Murdaugh took money from the PMPED law firm founded by his family more than 100 years ago and turned into a legal giant, winning millions of dollars of verdicts in tiny Hampton County. Murdaugh pointed out the mistake, said the check was supposed to go to him and had another one issued so it wouldn’t show up in the firm’s accounting review, prosecutors said. Along with the family’s massive civil law firm, Murdaugh’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather were the elected prosecutors in Hampton County and four surrounding counties for more than eight decades.
