Parker's Kitchen, the store that sold beer to Paul Murdaugh before a fatal boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, has agreed to pay $15 million in a settlement to Beach's family. The incident set off a chain of events that led to the murder of Paul and his mother by his father, Alex Murdaugh, who was trying to cover up a scandal involving fraud and opioid addiction within the wealthy South Carolina family. The settlement serves as a warning to establishments that enable underage drinking, emphasizing the need to be held accountable for illegal alcohol sales.
