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.
One of Alex Murdaugh's best friends, Cory Fleming, pleaded guilty on May 25 in federal court. He admitted to taking part in one of Murdaugh's financial schemes.
