COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — Former attorney Alex Murdaugh, on trial for the murders of his wife Maggie and son Paul, is facing a new misdemeanor charge.

According to the Colleton County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), Murdaugh was arrested on Feb. 24 on a misdemeanor warrant issued by Colleton. He is being held for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

[…]

In regards to the charge, a member of the Murdaugh family provided the following statement to ABC:



Alex Murdaugh charged with new misdemeanor

There is a process for an inmate to request an article and the prison reviews it. For a book the jail can request a donation of the book to the jail library so that all inmates may use it.

Also, all packages must be inspected for drugs and other illicit substances, phones, phone cards, money, etc. All sorts of things can be trafficked in books, including soaking the pages in drugs.

The defense would be aware of this and should not have accepted this. Just another example of the "priviledge" that the Murdaugh family exerted over LE and the legal community. AM would know this, too.

I think the charge seems appropriate, but the judge must be furious that this breech occurred in his court, right under his nose, by the sister and the defense attorneys. They need a legal reprimand for this.
 
I've attached a timeline of events, if you are interested.

2 February 2018 – The Murdaughs’ long-term housekeeper Gloria Satterfield died in a mysterious trip and fall at the family home. Satterfield, who worked for the family for more than 20 years, was found at the bottom of some stairs. She never resumed consciousness and died from her injuries on 26 February.

24 February 2019 – Paul, then 19, was allegedly drunk driving the family’s boat when it crashed, throwing him and his friends overboard. The body of Mallory Beach, 19, washed up on the shore around a week later.

Thanks! I can't get over that this was during such a short time frame.
 
I didn't realize Gloria died Feb. 26, 2018, and Mallory died on Feb. 23, 2019. Less than a year. Jeez

Looming exposure of true financial condition: AM knew he and MM were cash poor and that a loss in the Beach lawsuit would require liquidation of Moselle and Edisto, drastic contraction in his family’s existing lifestyle, and would expose their dire financial situation to others. This would be an extraordinarily humiliating experience that would trigger even more humiliation as creditors gained awareness of their own exposures.

Looming exposure of theft and cheating: AM was personally aware of all of his own thievery and of all the people he cheated, conned, and betrayed, most of whom on June 7 did not yet know they’d been stolen from or conned.

No way out: AM may have “had financial issues in the past“ as he admitted on the stand, but this time those issues were attended by the overhanging threat of the Beach lawsuit, the imminence of his father’s death (so Pappy couldn’t bail him out), and the beginning inquiries into misdirected funds - all things he had no control over. Exits out of the trap of his own making were closing and - absent an unusual event (settlement or inheritance) that would deliver large amounts of cash in to his coffers, AM had no escape hatch and no ability to create one.

MM was just beginning to experience signs that they were not as wealthy as AM had led her to believe they were.

Tinsley‘s Lever: Tinsley, who had reason to believe AM was wealthier than he was representing himself to be, was threatening to file a wrongful death suit against PM and MM in Beaufort, if AM didn’t settle or reveal his true financial condition in the existing suit against BM and AM.

AM’s Lever: Murders of PM and MM by unknown assailant(s) would halt the criminal proceedings against PM and related discovery into events the night of the boat crash, and at the same time would eliminate the possibility that Tinsley could employ a suit against PM and MM in Beaufort as a lever, and at the same time would put AM and BM in roles as victims who had experienced significant personal losses. This would place social and moral pressure on anyone subjecting the widower and surviving son to additional pain - including inquiries into unusual financial transactions at the law firm as well as the continuing Beach family civil suit.
This AM plane had been running on one jet as the others flamed out and when asked by others around "How far will the last jet motor take us? '...All the way to the crash site. I simply believe in AM's mind the only way out was to remove any possible threat's that may speak up against him' family included. We could talk the amount of meds he was gobbling up along with defenses theory of short shooter's and so on but simply believe in his mind this was the only option he had left, AM is the perfect example of a mad man who spent his life sucking the life's blood out of friends and family, whole life has been a lie.
