Alex Murdaugh's Court Appearances: From Murder Trial to Financial Fraud Charges

Former lawyer Alex Murdaugh appeared in court for the first time since being convicted of murdering his wife and son, facing 101 charges and an alleged loss of $8.8 million in a web of financial crimes involving two co-conspirators. Trial dates were expected to be set for Murdaugh and one of the accomplices, while the other was due to be sentenced. Murdaugh's defense team argued for a delay and requested a new murder trial, alleging jury tampering. Prosecutors accused Murdaugh of murdering his family to distract from financial crimes. Murdaugh now faces over 100 charges, including money laundering, tax evasion, and bank fraud.
