His position in the community allowed this fraud to occur. His friends and family should be angry at HIM for betraying them. Abused his position in the community and his law degree.
I am not moved.
That he was beloved and spoilt it makes it IMO worse.

BEAUFORT — Former attorney Cory Fleming was sentenced in state court to 20 years in prison for helping his longtime friend Alex Murdaugh steal millions of dollars, significantly extending a prison term he has already begun.
Judge Clifton Newman decided Sept. 14 that Fleming’s ongoing 46-month federal prison sentence wasn’t punishment enough for having facilitated the theft of clients’ money. Newman handed down two back-to-back 10-year sentences for the former attorney. His time in federal lock-up is expected to count toward his 20 year term.
“You must suffer the consequences of your actions,” Newman told Fleming after he expressed remorse for betraying his clients.
