Alex Murdaugh might be called to testify during South Carolina banking scion Russell Laffitte's federal trial over alleged bank fraud that allowed the ex-attorney to steal from clients.
But at a pre-trial hearing on Monday, Laffitte’s defense attorney, Bart Daniel, argued that a jury should be able to see that Murdaugh refused to answer questions regarding his dealings with the banker.

Later in the day, federal prosecutors submitted a brief saying they were against bringing Murdaugh to the stand if he won’t testify, arguing that the jury should not be permitted to be influenced by a witness’ decision to plead the Fifth. District Judge Richard Gergel has yet to announce any decision.
