Well I’m not certain on either fronts. I’ll simply say I’ve been there. Before and after.
Before and after the murders? What was the official business that brought you there?
Then why even mention that you have something then?
^^^^ This ^^^^
I think that's why he was really stressing that this would be the last chance and couldn't/wouldn't get another shot, and really needed to try to take care of it ASAP.
And they act as of the $5 "sale price" on the deed means someone actually paid $5 for it. Most recordings I see have $5 listed as amount
Tell me then I will tell the board. I'm pretty sure that gives you immunity under don't ask don't tell.
Yes....sounds reasonable. We'll wait for it.
This is why Mandy’s 15 mins is up with me I unfollowed her podcast. It’s a shame you can’t get any shred of unbiased news anymore. The story is crazy enough just tell the facts. She’s too invested and is tainted in the way she’s giving out information or insinuations. She should probably keep some of those peoples names out of her mouth unless she plans to relocate out of SC. It started as a good series to listen to but it’s turned into total slanted coverage and lots and lots of spitballing that well her “news” site is know for.
I'm not a fan of Mandy Matney, but I do listen to her podcasts and try to discern the information and news amongst all the other noise.
Horrible fate for Buster. He should move away, change his name and see if he can escape his family of origin issues.
Why? My tax dollars pay for his room, board, and phone calls and everyone knows the calls are being recorded.

There are legislative tests for determining what information is subject to release via the Freedom of Information Act. No reason to customize the test based upon subject matter or to introduce subjectivity into the process.
We'll obviously see more on this as the case(s) evolve(s), but the only thing that concerns me here is that a solicitor filed the complaint. It may be that we've become hyper vigilant on this case in particular, or there could be more to the story. That said, I know Judge Mullen pretty well and have nothing but good things to say about her character and professionalism. Beaufort and Hampton counties are definitely good ole boys clubs, the latter being worse than the former.Judge Mullen & settlements.

I wish someone locally could digitize and distribute that newspaper article (assuming it isn't already available - I would need more keywords to find it myself). That sounds intriguing.
I hope every lawyer, judge, & politician involved on Murdaugh's schemes get taken down.Judge Mullen & settlements.

Not sure if he ever was a prosecutor. Sounds like the family of lawyers were into injury/insurance lawsuits. One of the earlier revelations was that there was a law/rule, that allowed for moving or filing lawsuits to Hampton from anywhere so they could influence the jury/judge to help in their favor. I think the law has changed in the last 10 years, but it was one of the reasons their lawfirm was so prolific over 2 or 3 generations of Murdaughs.
He worked for the prosecutor some. It’s been stated in several articles.
Yep. The article I linked (or another I read) said he worked as a volunteer prosecutor, but never ran for solicitor of the 14th circuit. His father, grandfather, & great grandfather were solicitors and did a mix of civil law and prosecuting case.
Cliffs? Anything here we did not already know?
How in the wide world of sports does a Vice President of a bank and the President of the SC independent bankers association not understand what fiduciary means. How anyone working in banking or finance doesn’t know that term blows my mind.
oh man, I was just fixing to tag you to discuss this depo. WOW. Complete turmoil in my head about this cat's role in the scheme. I went into the depo thinking he was completely in on it, to now feeling quite sorry for this man. He strikes me as ultra naive; however, running a private family bank in rural SC might be the reason his ignorance existed.
Yea, would be like a doctor not knowing the Hippocratic Oath.
I'm not sure. Having grown up in a VERY small town myself with a single independent bank, it's just kinda how things work. Watching this depo, it was shocking how lax the procedures/protocols were, but then I remember walking into the bank in town as a little kid and getting money from my father's account.No withdrawal slip, no thing. Just, "Hey, Miss Loretta. I need some money. Daddy said it's OK." And time after time, miss Loretta would just give me whatever I asked for. In my case, there was nothing criminal going on, and the banker wasn't incompetent. It just was back in a time where procedures didn't exist and the banker knew everyone in town, and knew that it was OK for me to come get money. It was never a ton. I probably just needed it so I could go get a slushy from Mr. John down the street. The situation certainly seems ludicrous now, but back then it was normal. And I wonder if that's how things worked in Hampton. And until that bank is gobbled up by a "proper" bank, it might stay that way, particular in a place like Hampton. I don't know, but I wonder. And unless you grew up in a teeny tiny town, you probably can't even imagine this stuff goes on. But it did and probably still does to some extent. I tend to think this Westendorf man is just super naive, but not dirty. The Lafitte man? Maybe dirty. That said, there's zero excuse for Mr. Wetendorf not to know the word fiduciary. Likewise, I can think of no excuse for AM not to know "habeas corpus." This case continues to amaze and entertain.
