The role of father and son, contractor and volunteer in prosecution, is unique.
The five other active volunteers for the Solicitor’s Office — four retirees and a graduate student — have never been practicing attorneys, according to Kidd.
Anthony Dore, a Beaufort-based attorney and judge in Yemassee, used to work for Randolph Murdaugh when he was solicitor and credits him with helping his career.
Dore said it probably also helped to have Randolph Murdaugh prosecuting in Hampton after he retired, because he was well known and knew all the players.
“Him being from Hampton ... I’m sure was a great asset to the Solicitor’s Office,” Dore said.
He speculated that son Alex Murdaugh offered to help the office because prosecution has run in his family for so long. Dore said he has never seen a situation like the Murdaughs volunteering and contracting with the current Solicitor’s Office.
“I don’t think there’s anybody in a similar situation as to his family,” he said.
