⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️

Great book but more of a reminder that people should always question the Federal Government.

Those killings were because the Feds had a law that required a person with a percentage of Native American lineage to have a guardian.

Grown adults - deemed incompetents if you were over a % of a bloodline.

Then those once just poor incompetents had mineral rights making them millionaires.

No wonder the psychopaths lined up and schemed to be their guardians, or husbands. Who would have thought???

But, yeah, some of these SC small towns and poor counties do have these good ole boys and families that think they run the show, know it all, and how dare you question them.

I’m sure a lot of people on this board who live and work in this state have dealt with these clowns.
Good point. No matter what laws we have - good or insane (like in this instance) - there will always be people who look to exploit them for personal gain.
 
Mandy Matney just released the last episode of the "Murdaugh Murders" podcast. She is renaming the podcast since their mission is changing (and expanding) from just covering the Murdaugh saga. This episode is a reflection on the evolution of the podcast as well as the Murdaugh story.

She catches a lot of grief (much of it deserved) from her coverage, her strongly voiced opinions, and her sometimes immature and personal approach to the drama, but I still found her perspective informative -- and I did subscribe to MMP Premium to help follow the trial.

 
Eric Bland went off on Poot and Jim today on the latest Cup of Justice episode.

They are litigating over the Satterfield insurance money and Bland accused them of violating the rules of evidence, alternative dispute rules, among others.

i know everyone wants their say in court but isnt this a waste of time/resources?
No, and not sure why the feds did not get involved sooner - especially with all the banking violations.

Do you want a financial institution that was involved, in the least, money laundering then just able to say, “this is a waste of resources cause it was that other guys fault.” So, go away feds, nothing to see here.

I’d want the feds checking to see how far this all goes back and who else was involved - my bet is this is decades long and with multiple generations.

I think the feds waited for Murdaugh to be sentenced to a state prison. No one thinks he should go to Club Fed. Plus, the feds take their time and rarely bring charges without having someone dead to rights.

In federal court, Fleming admitted he knew what he was doing and that he helped Murdaugh steal insurance money meant for Satterfield's sons. Fleming has agreed to cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and United States Attorney's office in the Satterfield case.

With this deal, Fleming could face up to five years in federal prison and have to pay a fine of up to $250,000.

Part of the plea deal means Fleming will turn over his law license both here and in Georgia. He's also agreed to polygraph tests.

That means the Feds had enough to stick him with probably 20+ years if they wanted to and he knew it. F that though…knowing AM is already donezo, Feds should have stuck it to him anyways. 5 years is nothing in the grand scheme of things. $250k is lunch money relative to the crimes committed.

I agree with you. They want his testimony against Murdaugh. For the life of me, I don't understand why Murdaugh doesn't accept he's going to die in jail. He's not getting out.

If you listen to Mandy's latest True Sunlight podcast, and get past 30 minutes of them whining about Alex pleading not guilty in the federal case (but reserving the right to change his plea!), Mandy talks about a lawsuit from about 2010 that I haven't heard about yet:

Apparently Alex sued Corey Fleming's wife, on behalf of Corey's son (Alex's godson), because the minor son broke his arm when he slipped getting out of a car. Corey's cousin served as the guardian ad litem for the son. Insurance paid the Flemings $120,000, and Alex's share was $48,000. Judge Carmen Mullen approved the settlement.

Alex's original lawsuit actually had Corey's law firms name in the signature template, and Alex scratched it out!

So crooked.

Yeah, I heard that. It's funny to me how people think AM just recently got into the crime business. He's been at it forever and was probably (I have no proof) raised in it.
 
Here is the press release and response by Eric Bland and Ronald Richter. I haven't read the entire response, but I've heard excerpts from it on a couple of podcasts. It seems very snarky -- which means it was written for public consumption as much as for the judge, as judge's generally don't like that attitude in written filings.





Press Release: Bland Richter has filed the Satterfields’ Memorandum in Opposition and Motion for Sanctions to Alex Murdaugh’s Motion​

News, Press Releases


Bland Richter is pleased to announce that it has filed the Satterfields’ Memorandum in Opposition and Motion for Sanctions to Alex Murdaugh’s Motion to be relieved from his judgment he gave to the Satterfields in the amount of 4.3 million dollars in May of 2022. In his Motion, Murdaugh advanced what he alleges are “novel” legal theories (we say they are non-sensical) as to why he should be allowed to dishonor the $4.3 Million judgment he confessed to the Satterfields for having stolen the money they were to receive from the death of their mother from both Lloyds of London and Nautilus Insurance Companies. The attached Memorandum in Opposition takes down the house of Murdaugh brick by brick, exposing that he tried to play the public and the courts by trafficking more half-truths and misrepresentations to the Court. The Memorandum speaks for itself and we look forward to a future hearing on the merits of the issues raised.
Thank you.
Eric S. Bland and Ronald L. Richter, Attorneys for Tony Satterfield, Brian Harriott and the Estate of Gloria Satterfield, the Plyler sisters and several other victims of Alex Murdaugh.



The response itself is 31 pages, with nearly 100 pages in attached exhibits:

 
I get that there are still victims out there but this seems like a bunch of people publicly getting into Twitter and podcast spats after having their time in the spotlight.

The dude is serving the rest of his life in prison and seems to be broke, are the victims even going to get anything out of him going forward?

Yup. the jackals can only get so much meat from the corpse.
 
The Impact of Influence podcasters have a new podcast called "The Wicked South."


In the first episode of The Wicked South, Seton, Matt and Michael take a dive into the history of the Murdaugh family.
Every good family story begins on a bloody battlefield and ends in disgrace in a courtroom -- or sometimes a gentleman's strip club.
For more than a century, the Murdaugh family of Hampton County made legends of themselves -- on the battlefield, on the gridiron, and in the courtroom—until one man brought about the Fall of the House of Murdaugh. Here is how they did it, and how it helped them build a legal and political dynasty.
Follow the Murdaugh mystique from the Civil War to the controversial 14th Circuit -- and co-host Seton Tucker just may surprise you with her intimate knowledge of Hilton Head gentlemen's club history.

I doubt Parker would have settled if the trial had been anywhere other than Hampton County.

I doubt Parker would have settled if the trial had been anywhere other than Hampton County.
And if they hadn't joined Alex Murdaugh as a defendant with him.

 
Many Matney made a big deal last week about getting a defamation suit against her dismissed.

Any idea what that was about?
 
Laffitte sentenced to 84 months in federal prison.
7 years is no joke, but with how the judge was talking I honestly thought it would be longer, especially since he still refuses to accept responsibility. Said RL can continue his appeals process from behind bars. I believe he’ll be self-reporting in the next few weeks to Club Fed, but that wasn’t really clear.
 
That’s a son who has incomprehensible trauma. I doubt he (or anyone) would ever be able to truly move forward. That’s his mom and brother, gone forever, and you didn’t even get to say goodbye. That’s his dad, always will be, who is “gone forever” yet will still be a manipulative cloud over him. For Buster, everything you thought was true, everything that made you you is gone or fraudulent. It’s unfortunate, but he is/will be another casualty in this saga.
