Alex Murdaugh stole almost $5 million, new indictments allege

South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh was indicted Friday on 27 additional charges, with prosecutors saying he stole nearly $5 million in settlement money he had obtained for his dead housekeeper, an injured state trooper and other people and fees meant for his law firm.

There are still no charges in the shooting deaths of Murdaugh's wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in June, which began what has led to six investigations into Murdaugh, his family and his finances. These state investigations are ongoing.

Murdaugh, 53, remains in jail without bond after two previous arrests — a stunning fall for a lawyer whose father, grandfather and great-grandfather were elected prosecutors in tiny Hampton County and whose family founded and grew a private law firm that takes up an entire block in the county of 20,000 people.
