Inside the Charleston federal courthouse, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel sentenced Alex Murdaugh to 40 years in prison for financial schemes and thefts.
Federal authorities said they don t think Murdaugh is being honest about $6 million that are missing and the role of another lawyer in his criminal schemes.
Some 45% of Alex Murdaugh s remaining assets will go to victims of Paul Murdaugh s 2019 boat crash, including the family of Mallory Beach, a court decided.
Former S.C. Chief Justice Jean Toal is set to hear testimony about whether the clerk of court tried to sway the jurors who convicted Alex Murdaugh of murder.
