Former attorney Alex Murdaugh is sentenced to 27 years in prison for financial crimes, including money laundering, breach of trust, and obtaining signatures by false pretenses. He had previously pleaded guilty to stealing money from clients, including embezzlement from the estate of his former housekeeper and settlements from other individuals. Murdaugh still faces charges of insurance fraud and allegations related to tax evasion, drug, and money laundering activities. His attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial, alleging jury tampering by the court clerk. Murdaugh had been convicted of the murder of his wife and son earlier.
