The disbarred South Carolina attorney, found guilty in March of fatally shooting his wife and youngest son, got a fleeting break from the maximum-security prison where he's serving a life sentence without parole.
A new motion filed by the convicted murderer's legal team alleges that Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill told jurors not to trust Murdaugh and used her position for profit and fame.
“Victims of a crime should not have to see or hear the person who victimized them or their family member on the news,” the South Carolina Department of Corrections said in a statement.
"When I go to bed at night, I have a fear that there is somebody else still out there," Buster Murdaugh says of his brother Paul and mom Maggie's killer in an upcoming documentary. His father Alex Murdaugh was convicted of the murders.
“These were extremely vulnerable people... and he treated them like players on a chessboard,” U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel said of Russell Laffitte, a longtime associate of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh.
“While it is said that Lady Justice is blind, she is not a sucker," attorneys representing Gloria Satterfield’s family said. “Bottom line — can’t run or hide from justice.”
Murdaugh’s lawyers have asked a judge to toss out the $4.3 million legal decision since the claims were approved by insurance companies based on the false claims Murdaugh had made about his pet dogs tripping housekeeper Gloria Satterfield.
