Alex Murdaugh pleads guilty to 22 counts of financial fraud and money laundering, alleged cohort makes stunning claim

Disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh has pleaded guilty to 22 counts of financial fraud and money laundering. Already serving a life sentence for killing his wife and son, Murdaugh's guilty plea marks the first step in putting his financial crimes behind him. The charges stem from three different schemes involving misappropriation of settlement funds and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud. Murdaugh's lawyer stated that he did not dispute any of the allegations and has been cooperative throughout the process.
