On June 7, 2021, South Carolina attorney Richard \u0022Alex\u0022 Murdaugh was set for \u0022a day of reckoning,\u0022 prosecutors say.
It took months for investigators to make an arrest in the case, ultimately charging Murdaugh with two counts of murder in July 2022 – and it took even longer for them to reveal why they believe the legal scion shot Maggie Murdaugh, 52, with a rifle and Paul Murdaugh, 22, with a shotgun. But on Thursday, a motion filed by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office outlined prosecutors’ theory.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion delivered straight to your inbox at 7 a.
Murdaugh’s attorney, Dick Harpootlian, declined to comment Thursday on the state’s new filing. The defence team has claimed that Murdaugh was caring for his ailing father at the time his son and wife were killed. That evening, Murdaugh called 911 to report that he had found their bodies near the dog kennels at the family’s 1,700-acre property, The Washington Post previously reported.
The motion alleges that the economic downturn in the mid-2000s not only propelled a vicious cycle of borrowing and spending, but also a 15-year scheme to steal nearly $9 million from Murdaugh’s law partners and clients. That “incessant financial rollercoaster” only became worse on Feb. 23, 2019 – the day Murdaugh’s son Paul, while under the influence, allegedly crashed a boat, killing 19-year-old Mallory Beach.
