Just another reminder of the difference between State and Federal Courts where there is a significant lag in time between conviction and sentencing in federal court prosecutions. For example, Laffitte was convicted in November 2022 and not sentenced until August 1, 2023.

Alex Murdaugh accomplice Russell Laffitte to be sentenced; Feds seek at least 10 years
<snipped & BBM> The one man who could have stopped AM, but helped him instead.
Here are some highlights from that extensive court filing:
- Laffitte repeatedly shows "a continued unwillingness to accept any responsibility for his actions or acknowledge the harm his actions have inflicted on the victims," say federal prosecutors.
- The federal government claims that Laffitte and "his coconspirator Alex Murdaugh were held responsible for at least $3,784,368.98 in loss" from victims, but Laffitte disputes those numbers.
- Laffitte and Murdaugh allegedly defrauded vulnerable people, including a "quadriplegic car accident victim livingin a nursing home," cites the court filing.
- Laffitte "used and abused his position of power and trust to exploit unusually vulnerable victims in a complex scheme of deception and concealment. And when faced with the inevitable discovery of his and Murdaugh’s scheme, the Defendant engaged in a desperate yet elaborate attempt to cover it up."
- Many of Murdaugh's thefts would not have been possible without Laffitte's assistance, say prosecutors. In fact, they go on to claim, Laffitte is the only person that could have stopped him.
- Laffitte allegedly lied under oath four times and refuses to take responsibility for his actions, states the sentencing memorandum.

John Marvin is like one of those Whack a Moles, I swear he pops up EVERYWHERE in relation to the Murdaugh shenanigans. His poor, pious act on the witness stand did not fool me one bit. He's always there to clean up the messes.
MOO

I was thinking -- you know those portraits where Jesus' eyes follow you everywhere?
JohnMarvin is EVERYWHERE.
That's some family loyalty right there. Even when it's not his family.
Like some kind of mafia godfather.

YES! His hands are not clean. Far from it. He has lucked out legally thus far

Will he speak from the witness box? That's awful close to the judge. Judge best leave his wallet back in chambers.

Reading the live tweets about what all Lafitte’s friends and family are saying. Always loving his community, helping folks out, even going to school meetings with the moms etc. While RL is off picking people up after they wreck their cars(who would not do that for someone?), Arthur Badger is having to cash in his children’s futures just to feed them because RL and AM stole 1.3 million dollars from him.
