Bond reinstated for man in Alex Murdaugh conspiracy case.
A judge has reinstated bond for Curtis Eddie Smith, who was indicted with convicted killer Alex Murdaugh on multiple charges last summer. Smith was indicted on four counts of money laundering, three counts of forgery, trafficking methamphetamine, one count of unlawful possession of a schedule II narcotic, and possession of marijuana, and two counts of criminal conspiracy. The criminal conspiracy charges allege 437 checks totaling approximately $2.4 million went from Murdaugh to Smith between 2013 and 2021. Smith still has to follow the same conditions as when the bond was originally set, such as remaining under house arrest, random drug testing, and no contact with any co-defendants or witnesses, amongst others.
