"US Government: Alex Murdaugh Breaches Plea Agreement with Failed Lie Detector Test"

Disgraced former attorney Alex Murdaugh failed a lie detector test, breaching his plea agreement for financial crimes, prompting US prosecutors to seek release from the agreement and potentially recommend a maximum sentence. The failed test comes ahead of his federal sentencing hearing and is related to ongoing investigations into hidden assets and potential coconspirators. Murdaugh's attorneys oppose the sealing of evidence and deny the breach, while he is already serving a 27-year state prison sentence for similar crimes and two consecutive life sentences for the murders of his wife and son.
