Oh Boy!! I have a collectors item. It's on my kindle so I guess it stays there. I haven't read it and probably won't.An interview with Neil Gordon, Becky Hill's coauthor...
Alex Murdaugh book co-author Gordon speaks out on Becky Hill's credibility, jury tampering
Interview with Neil Gordon: How much money did Becky Hill make? How many books were sold? What's next for Behind the Scenes co-author Gordon?www.greenvilleonline.com
Since it's behind a paywall I won't quote from the article, but here are a few items that were covered:
- He's unaware of any lies in the book but thinks that Becky's bias against AM likely influenced her point of view.
- They never discussed whether a guilty verdict made the book more marketable.
- Becky's testimony that the book made $100,000 in profit was accurate. The agreement was that she would receive 2/3 of the proceeds.
- Approximately 15,000 books were sold. It's no longer available for sale but has become a collector's item on eBay.
- The BBC has not pursued any perjury claim against the authors.
AM was a desperate man caught up in a desperate scheme that was going to be exposed. His family was expendable to him at that point because they knew too much and were causing AM problems. Maggie with the questions about money and Paul with a potential multi million dollar suit(s) against him for wrongful death in the Mallory Beach case.
Maybe he's giving interviews trying to recoup some lost earnings. Hah
In total, I have seen nothing of their assets, aside from the acreage, that shows me they were anything more than upper middle class. Their belongings were dated, the house was cute and the boat was small and old. WTH did they do with the money??? Either earned or stolen???The next question set to be resolved is who will get the last assets Murdaugh had to his name.
For more than two years, two court-appointed receivers — Peter McCoy and John T. Lay — have been tasked with liquidating Murdaugh’s belongings and safeguarding the money for the myriad people who say they were harmed by his actions.
They sold his beach house and the uninhabited islands he owned, cut the timber on his land, emptied his 401(k), and found buyers for his boat and farm equipment. After legal fees, they marshalled an estimated $1.8 million.
It won’t come close to covering all the 15 claims — totaling more than $100 million in all — filed against his assets. They include, among others, the family of 19-year-old Mallory Beach, who died after his son Paul allegedly crashed his boat in 2019; several former legal clients who said he mishandled their cases; and his law firm, which repaid much of the money he stole.
Judge Daniel Hall appointed Greenville attorney Walt Tollison in September to sort through the claims, giving him until Feb. 5 to decide who will get what. Tollison said he is on track to meet the judge’s deadline.

Decisions haven't been made on how to divide Murdaugh's assets, who should pay for his actions and whether to grant Russell Laffitte and Cory Fleming's appeals.www.postandcourier.com
I have some sympathy for Gordon. He was the first person to spot Hill's plagiarism when her emails were made public. He immediately confronted her and ended all book sales. He could have just kept quiet and waited until someone else discovered it, which may have been months or years later (or never).
Are Gloria Satterfield's sons included in the clients he mishandled? I still think he murdered her too by pushing her down those steps.The next question set to be resolved is who will get the last assets Murdaugh had to his name.

Murdaugh is quite the piece of work, so I wouldn't put anything past him. He clearly manipulated her death to his benefit and to the detriment of the boys.
Depends on the strength of the shove. I just watched a true crime program last night where they were able to charge the murderer solely on his admission "downplay" that he "pushed" her because she hit her head hard enough to kill her. Victim's name was Tricia Todd.
If Alex didn't do it, then I'm convinced that Paul did. It's rare to fall hard enough to crack your head without being forcefully shoved, and you don't "trip over dogs going up stairs'. That's a crock.

Yes, I don’t disagree something is ‘off’ with that case. And if that is the case, one can surmise that it is perhaps the lack of a suitable investigation, lack of accountability, questionable insurance motives, and/or an inability or unwillingness to hold one accountable. And add in a culture that it seems is looking the other way in certain scenarios. It still seems that more investigation needs to be done to locate and identify all the monies involved in this individual AM’s cases over the past several decades and that law firm and its partners and affiliates. MOO
NO SHAME!!Isn't that good ole' Grandpa Murdaugh in the painting behind AM? Oh how rich is that juxtaposition?! One posed as a respected man of law in a suit and hanging in the Courthouse hall and one posed in his jailhouse oranges, inmate ID #, handcuffed and ready to be led back to his lovely home aka SCDOC.
