Alex Murdaugh's Financial Trial Date Set as He Returns to Court

Alex Murdaugh appeared in court for the first time since his murder case to face financial fraud charges. His trial date for the alleged theft of millions of dollars from the family of his deceased housekeeper was set for November 27. Two former friends and alleged co-conspirators also appeared in court. Meanwhile, Murdaugh's attorneys accused a court clerk of jury tampering in his murder trial, claiming she was driven by fame and a desire for a book deal. Murdaugh's son, Buster, broke his silence to deny involvement in another murder case and maintain his belief in his father's innocence. Additionally, Murdaugh has agreed to plead guilty to federal financial charges, and his associate, Corey Fleming, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his involvement in the financial fraud crimes.
