I highly recommend reading the following article. There is a lot of good historical context.

Decades ago, a Murdaugh patriarch was the ‘brains’ behind a Lowcountry criminal enterprise

First of two parts
Minutes after his girlfriend was hurled to her death in a swirling Lowcountry creek, AC spewed expletives about the young Murdaugh man he alleges was driving the boat.“He ain’t gettin’ in no f---ing trouble,” the Hampton County teen blurted toward a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office deputy in those chaotic wee hours three years ago.
Six young people were in the boat owned by Murdaugh’s father, Richard Alexander “Alex” Murdaugh of Hampton County, then a powerful attorney who also volunteered in the 14th Judicial Circuit Solicitor’s Office that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather ran for 86 years.
After the crash, the Murdaughs went to work immediately with a tried-and-true formula of brute power over the norms of authority.
