SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton *Guilty* #44

  • #321
Gee, defense team...why might anyone think the financial crimes were relevant to this case...so much to the extent that such an esteemed judge would allow it in....

....other than MOTIVE....exhibiting his pattern of being nice to people all while being happy enough to steal their money....how his marriage and public persona could only exist if Maggie didn't know about the embezzlement....and how the embezzlement being able to continue depended on him being able to maintain his friendly helpful old boy image...which didn't involve a son on trial for Mallory Beach's death

....you have to have all the financial crimes, the endless lies he was constantly juggling, the shame and legal (not to mention financial) issues that would stem from Paul going to trial in order to get people to understand how he could kill his wife and son in cold blood in front of each other.

The State of South Carolina has responded to convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh's appeal to the South Carolina Supreme Court with an abundance of legal arguments and case precedents that refer to cases as high as United States Supreme Court rulings, arguing that a Colleton County jury convicted Murdaugh "because he was obviously guilty."

Using almost every moment of its 120-day extension to respond to Murdaugh's appeal — the filing came in close to midnight on the August 8 deadline — the South Carolina Attorney General's Office lays out the Murdaugh criminal case and its arguments as to why Murdaugh is truly guilty of murdering his wife, Maggie, and younger son, Paul, in June of 2021, and why his convictions and twin life sentences should stand, in a 164-page argument.

Former banker sentenced to 13 years for misusing trust funds in South Carolina


A judge sentenced Russell Lucius Laffitte, the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank, to 13 years after pleading guilty to eight felony charges, including breach of trust, computer crime, and criminal conspiracy, stemming from three South Carolina State Grand Jury indictments.

Laffitte's guilty pleas detailed his involvement in three cases of financial misconduct:

Natarsha Thomas Case: Laffitte admitted to misappropriating $350,245.08 from funds held in trust for Thomas, a minor injured in a car accident. While collecting conservator fees, he did nothing to safeguard her interests and facilitated the theft of her money.
Hakeem Pinckney Case: Laffitte and Murdaugh misappropriated $309,581.46 from Pinckney's trust and estate. Laffitte used these funds to issue "loans" to Murdaugh, enabling him to repay other debts.
Badger Family Case: Laffitte misappropriated $1,172,945.76 from funds held for the Badger family, again using the money to cover Murdaugh's prior loans.

Russell Laffitte has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his state charges, which he will serve concurrently with his federal sentence, both of which granted him credit for time served. Additionally, he was given a five-year state prison sentence which was suspended to five years of probation and 350 hours of community service. He will only actually spend an additional five years in state prison after his eight-year active imprisonment sentence if he violates his probation.
