Preliminary stuff getting started right now in Lexington, SC ……. just outside Columbia. One of my college classmates, Dick Harpootlian, is his lead attorney. I doubt the outcome will be any different, but even if it is, he is in jail for a long time for bilking and stealing about 12 million dollars from clients and his law firm.
According to my attorney friends who were familiar with Murdaugh’s law practice, they pretty much ruled Hampton County where they are located. Years ago, the railroad that went through the county threatened to stop coming through the county, as every lawsuit Involving them was being held in Hampton County, and never turned out good for them.

Will justice prevail? Lets hope so.
Having watched a few documentaries about him and his actions...there's not enough justice in this world to give him what he's owed.

I agree ...... pretty miserable person. The money he stole from several of the families he represented is beyond reprehensible. Regardless of the outcome of the new trial, which I think he will lose, he will never see life outside of prison walls!

That used to be an option here in SC..... but I think "sparky", the old chair may have been retired for good.
