i just wonder............ if you reside in the low country........... do you just always know that there is corruption all around, that this is just the 'way it is'....???
i guess one just must assume that law enforcement 'will be there" to address "right from wrong" on some things......... though not others.
jmo ramblings..

The Southern Coal Counties in WV were run exactly this way for decades. Political offices were rotated from sheriff to County Clerk to School Board to County Commission to Auditor and back to Sheriff. There were Power Brokers who operated out of the spotlight, but even the kids knew who they were. Sure, There was money, But a lot of the participants just wanted to be a part of it, to play the game. The local Lawyers were there, taking advantage of clients and scooping up any properties "auctioned" for taxes. Most people just wanted to stay out of their way in case they needed Law Enforcement or some other government service.

Every time I say "Can this get any more stupid?" it somehow does. I wonder what the professional casualties will total by the end of this?
How I despise this abuse of power.

Controversial photos published the day after Paul and Maggie Murdaugh were found shot to death depicted John Marvin Murdaugh walking with investigators from the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office near the crime scene.
Murdaugh said these photos show him and the investigators trying to “ping” Maggie Murdaugh’s cell phone, which was not immediately located the night of the killings.
John Marvin Murdaugh said he does not believe Alex Murdaugh killed his wife and son, but acknowledged that police may know more than he does. He said he believes his brother will one day confess to his financial crimes…
He revealed that he and his older brother Randy Murdaugh IV drove Alex Murdaugh to a detox facility in Marietta, Georgia
He said he and Randy Murdaugh had doubts about their brother’s Labor Day weekend shooting and thought it was a suicide attempt.
Marvin Murdaugh distanced himself and the rest of his family from Alex Murdaugh: “No one has done anything wrong except for Alex.”
He provided a reporter with a document that he said shows where more than $700,000 worth of Alex’s assets were deposited.

This is pretty outrageous. And yet, Alexander assures prospective voters that he's an honest fella:
In an interview posted on his campaign page on Facebook, Alexander said he was a man of integrity.
“I’m not a cat,” he said. “I don’t cover up no doo-doo.”
I am beginning to think that there is just no bottom to this case. It's the rot that runs all the way through the apple -- pick at it, gouge it out, and it's still there as a taint in the fruit.
And amidst all of this corruption there are 5 people dead without explanation and/or (as in Mallory's case) justice.

I’ve read so many comments that seem to indicate that the “no threat” announcement was due to LE knowing it was AM all along and now they are just making the case. If that’s so, they still need to eat that due to them, if they “knew”, allowing him to go free for months with access to weapons, in the same community that they had declared safe. Even if they had an idea these money crimes were going to be charged and problem solved, he still had the opportunity to kill again. The fact that it took cops a bit to show at his suicide run says they weren’t watching him close enough to guarantee the safety of that community from somebody that they knew was a murderer.

I can smell that swamp muck all the way up here in the upstate near the mountains.
Like many in Hampton County, which has a population of 18,561 according to the 2020 Census, Judge Alexander has tenuous ties to the Murdaugh family.
The judge’s brother-in-law, Chief Alexander, says he is running for Hampton County sheriff in 2022 after Sheriff T.C. Smalls retires. He’s currently running unopposed.
Of the nearly $20,000 Gregory Alexander has raised since February, $6,000 was donated by members of Murdaugh’s former law firm, including $1,000 from his brother Randolph Murdaugh. A company affiliated with Murdaugh’s other brother, John Marvin, donated $250 to his campaign.

"i'm not a cat, I don't cover up doo doo?"? Are the voters all small children? I can't think of a single good reason to ask to borrow money off a man who has just lost his wife and child in a terrible double murder. Especially if he was a suspect, and I was a local LE chief. And here is AM, apparently drowning in debt, writing him a cheque. This story just gets more and more strange!
Alex Murdaugh Admits To Stealing $4.3 Million In Confession Of Judgment To Satterfield Family
https://www.fitsnews.com/2022/03/25...confession-of-judgment-to-satterfield-family/
In a confession of judgment filed Thursday at Hampton County Courthouse, disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh formally admitted to owing $4.3 million to the family of the woman who helped raise his children.
Murdaugh, who stands accused of stealing nearly $9 million from clients’ settlement funds, also confessed to “engaging in defalcation while acting in a fiduciary capacity.”
“Defalcation” refers to the misuse, mishandling or embezzlement of money, specifically by someone in a fiduciary role.

In the filing, Murdaugh “admits liability to the [Satterfields] for the claims asserted against him.”
Certain conditions are set forth in the agreement, one of which stipulates that “the presiding judge who is charged with the distribution of the receivership estate to current and future creditors… shall determine in his or her sole discretion the amount of payment, if any, the which the [Satterfields are] entitled from.”
The stipulation refers to the court-appointed receivership placed over Murdaugh’s assets due to concerns that he was attempting to deflate his value to avoid paying the victims in multiple lawsuits brought against him.
The Satterfields have already recovered far more than the original insurance settlement was worth from Murdaugh’s associates involved in the case, so it is conceivable that if approved, this petition would absolve Murdaugh of any payout. Richter said that his clients do not agree to that stipulation.
…
Who will the judge be? It seems that AM’s lawyers are going to argue that the Satterfield’s have been compensated.

John Marvin Murdaugh explains why he was photographed with investigators at crime scene | Island Packet, 27 March 2022

…. John Marvin Murdaugh said he was sitting inside the house on the Moselle property and asked Alex Murdaugh if he could ping Maggie’s phone. Buster, he said, told him that he and his mother shared locations with each other and he could ping it.
Marvin Murdaugh drove down to the crime scene to a group of investigators and told them that Maggie’s phone was active and could be tracked, he said. The photographs were taken when he and the investigators were looking at Buster’s phone and began walking toward where Maggie’s phone was located, he said. The group soon realized that the phone was further away, so they drove together and found it “east of the gates” of the property, he said.
Murdaugh said he called either Alex or Buster (he said he thinks it was Alex) and asked them for the password to Maggie’s phone so investigators could unlock it.
“They were able to open the phone on site,” he said. “Of course, none of this is disclosed to me as far as, it wasn’t like I was sitting there peeking over their shoulder while they’re doing this.”
<snipped>
Police still have not said whether any new evidence was uncovered from Maggie’s phone. And they still have not announced a suspect in their deaths. …
