Fox News
Alex Murdaugh’s medical records from an alleged botched suicide shooting were released, as his defense attorneys continue to spar with an alleged hitman, Curtis “Eddie” Smith, who made national news appearances last week claiming the disgraced South Carolina legal scion was never shot.
Charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretenses, Murdaugh was taken into custody in Orlando, Florida upon his release from a drug rehabilitation facility. He was extradited to Richland County, S.C., where he was booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center Saturday.
Two Democratic heavyweight attorneys representing Murdaugh, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, on Friday provided several news outlets with four pages of medical notes from Memorial Health in Savannah, Georgia, documenting Murdaugh’s wounds on Sept. 4. Murdaugh initially called 911 on Sept. 4, telling dispatchers he was on the way to the beach but got a flat tire and was changing the flat when someone fired at him from a moving truck. He was airlifted to a hospital in Savannah, Georgia and later entered rehab to treat an opioid addiction, his lawyers claim.
