One party named in a civil lawsuit against former South Carolina attorney Richard 'Alex' Murdaugh has agreed to settle out of court, and another party not named has also settled.
GREENVILLE, S.C. — One party named in a civil lawsuit against former South Carolina attorney Richard "Alex" Murdaugh has agreed to settle out of court, and another party not named has also settled, as the drama that has attracted every form of news coverage across the world rolls along Monday.
"We are very proud of the work we have done on this case, but we are nowhere near done," Satterfield attorney Eric Bland said. "These boys did not deserve this, and when you have deserving clients it makes it that much easier." While attorneys said they could not release the exact amount of the settlement, Bland, speaking on behalf of himself and his partner, Ronnie Richter, added that, not only has the Satterfield estate resolved its differences with Palmetto State Bank, "We've recovered in the aggregate an amount in excess of $6.5 million from a number of sources."
Bland said his firm would continue to go after other parties possibly involved in this case, including the Bank of America and especially Murdaugh. On Thursday, Nov. 11Last week, Bland Richter, along with attorneys for Palmetto State Bank, issued the following joint statement: "Palmetto State Bank and the law firm of Bland Richter, LLP are pleased to announce that a settlement has been reached between the bank and the Estate of Gloria Satterfield, Tony Satterfield and Brian Harriott that ends the pending lawsuit between them.

Judge Barbara Bellis took the rare step of defaulting Jones in the defamation lawsuits for his and his companies' “failure to produce critical material information that the plaintiffs needed to prove their claims.” Lawyers for the parents claimed Jones and his companies, including Infowars and Free Speech Systems, violated court rules by failing to turn over documents to them, including internal company documents showing how, and if, Jones and Infowars profited from talking about the school shooting and other mass shootings.
