Valerie Bauerlein — The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty​

During a book signing at Politics & Prose Bookstore and Coffeeshop in Washington, D.C., about a year ago, VB answered a question from the crowd about Buster M where she confirmed that Buster did plagiarize from his then girlfriend's (now wife) law paper, and that the money Alec paid to "fixer" Karl "Butch" Bowers was tracible to have a direct link to the funds that were stolen from the Satterfield boys. I'd never heard the background about the plagiarism story before, or how Buster allegedly benefited from Alec's deed.

(This passage is provided on YT at about the 47-min mark).

That's intriguing - I never knew he cribbed off his own girlfriend's (now wife's) paper. Was it with her knowledge? If so, why didn't she get penalized as well? If not, why would an aspiring attorney stay with someone who'd do that?

Fortunately, AM has no legal right to appear at the oral argument before the South Carolina Supreme Court on Feb 11, 2026! Perhaps he will be allowed to view a replay of the live stream (with his visiting attorney). The livestream will be available for the public. (See Supreme Court of NC YT channel link below).

Unless his defense is able to convince the panel that his conviction should be tossed, chief among them that they allege there was jury tampering by the former clerk of court for Colleton County, and/or that Judge Newman improperly allowed the state to make the case that Murdaugh's ongoing financial crimes were a motive in the killings, AM should never see beyond his prison walls ever again. IMO, AM made himself comfortable there long ago, and he's exactly where he should be.

Becky Hill pled guilty to being a bad, bad girl. No charges on the most relevant issue, of course - the jury tampering. No jail time. Just probation and community service.

What an idiot. Lost her job, this legal mess...for what?! She felt "special"?

FITSNews really wants the Murdaugh verdict overturned!

She totally should have received jail.

This is a really dishonest framing of the issue by FITSNews. First of all, the SAO decides who gets prosecuted and for what. Not the judge. In this case, the SAO has an interest in protecting the guilty verdict so they are not going to initiate a prosecution for jury tampering. Yes, one juror did say she was influenced but she also indicated that her verdict was not influenced if I'm remembering correctly. She gave a mixed response. I don't think the SAO should throw away a verdict by charging jury tampering based off of one wishy washy juror.

After that hearing with all the jurors, the judge concluded there was no jury tampering.

Therefore, what the judge and prosecutors said in Becky's hearing is not "bizarre" or at "odds with the record." It is FACTUALLY correct.
