$15 Million Settlement Reached in Wrongful Death Case of Mallory Beach, Victim of Murdaugh Boat Crash

The family of a teenager killed in a boat crash has reached a $15 million settlement in a lawsuit against a convenience store chain that sold alcohol to the underage son of double murderer Alex Murdaugh. The settlement comes after a judge refused to separate the chain from Murdaugh in the upcoming wrongful death trial. The convenience store chain will likely have to pay the entire settlement as Murdaugh is nearly broke. The settlement does not require the chain to admit responsibility.
