^^rsbmIf anyone comes across that 50 page document filed with the GA Bar trying to get his license back, please post it as I really would like to read it and not just the media report about it that I found.
Very helpful info, Seattle1…would be even more helpful if I understood itJust kidding, I followed MOST of it. I think the part still confusing me a bit is the interim vs definite suspension. But what I’m thinking now is that the SC Supreme Court did the temporary suspension based on the investigation and was likely waiting to see if it resulted in a conviction before making it permanent. I didn’t realize it in my earlier post, but the 50 page document to get his license back was actually his Georgia license according to this article…

Cory Fleming Tries To Get Law License Back, Includes Texts From Alex Murdaugh
In a shocking letter to the Georgia Bar, Cory Fleming gives a detailed account of his story and shares texts and letter from Alex Murdaugh.www.fitsnews.com
If I followed everything I’ve seen on this in the past couple of days…

Feb 2022 ? CF attorney Pendarvis files 50 page doc with GA BAR in attempt to get GA law license reinstated - not sure of date - the article above says a month before he was indicted so I am concluding it was filed in Feb
Mar 2022 CF was indicted by SC Grand Jury
Somewhere between his indictment and federal sentencing CF must have contacted both states and voluntarily surrendered both licenses permanently although the only place I have seen that stated was in the defense sentencing memo mentioned in previous post.
So it looks like (before he was indicted) CF was gambling on it being easier to get his GA license back if he asked for an emergency suspension rather than waiting for them to take action and suspend it - but when he saw it wasn’t going quite like he planned, he submitted the 50 page document to try to get it back.
Hmmm sounds a bit like what he’s done with pleading guilty and throwing himself on the mercy of the court he expected to be limited by the federal recommendation but when Judge Newman said he wouldn’t be bound by that recommendation, now CF appeals because his gamble on that didn’t work out so well either.
I do think what the appeal will accomplish is that people won’t believe the tears he shed at the sentencing hearing were of remorse for his role in all this but see them for what they were - his sorrow that he got caught. I might have felt bad for him if he’d come forward and admitted to all this years ago but pleading guilty after you know they are going to convict you is an attempt to get a lower sentence not an indicator of remorse or taking responsibility.
Say what you will about Eric Bland - I know several WSers are not fans - but he’s the one that helped shed light on CF’s involvement.

I've seen it take this long in other cases, especially considering the amount of witness testimony.I have to say that I’m a little confused as to why it should take so long to complete a trial transcript. Is it normal for a trial transcript to take over 6 months? I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if the transcript of a 6 week trial is over 10,000 pages but gosh it seems like a long time. Is this normal? Or is there some reason that this one would take longer than normal?
It’s bizarre. He bashes Murdaugh’s attorney for speaking outside the courtroom and using the media meanwhile he’s posting literal back to back clips of his appearances in the Murdaugh FOX series last night.I wont be surprised if Bland has a closet full of bones as much as he enjoys celebrating the downfall of others. He better watch out for that karma strike.
I don’t really understand why they are paid at all. I think that every dime AM has regardless of the source should be paid first to those he stole from until the entire $9 or $10 M or whatever the total is repaid in full and if his buddies don’t want to defend him pro bono then he can use a public defender. I don’t think his defense should take priority over repaying his victims. It shouldn’t matter whether the money comes from a trust or inheritance or sale of property or his piggy bank or he sells his plasma….until all of his victims are paid in full it isn’t really his money and not one cent should be given to attorneys. Of course that’s my opinion and has nothing to do with what the law says on the subject.

Well. Kudos to an absolute bad *advertiser censored* Julie Carpenter who pointed out in an interview that Dick and Jim gave to Angenette Levy of NewNation at the 14 minute and 55 second mark of the interview that Dick and Jim told Angenette that they also were paid legal fees from the trust funds that his father left him in addition to some 401(k) funds. Jim Griffin has said that they were paid only a total of $600,000 and $531,000 went to expenses for the trial and that he and Dick only split approximately $69,000. Don’t forget they were paid $500,000 to represent Paul on the Boating DUI homicide charges which they never really had to earn by trying the case because unfortunately he was killed by his father. When that statement was made we suspected that it was only partially true. How much did they receive from the $4 million that Alex was left in trust by his father? It’s high time that Harpootlian and Griffin come clean about how much they have been paid for all of the criminal cases and civil cases. Thank God Judge Hall denied the request for $160,000 for the appeal fees after we all objected and argued against it, But I’m sure they will appeal that too. It’s time for a groundswell movement to take place to implore the government (whether state or federal) to force the finances of Alex Murdaugh to be fully disclosed. EB Julie, Carpenter has done some amazing work in cataloging, inconsistent statements, admissions, and bombs that have been spoken by team Murdaugh. Great job, Julie. EB
