A friend of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh pleads guilty to helping the attorney steal millions in insurance money from dead housekeeper's sons.
Disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh took the stand in his own defense at his double murder trial.Banker Russell Laffitte was sentenced to seven years in prison earlier this month after pleading guilty to helping Murdaugh steal money from settlements for clients after vehicle wrecks or work injuries. Laffitte is appealing his conviction and sentence.
Although Fleming knew Murdaugh was asking him to do wrong, he said he didn’t realize the depth of his old friend’s depravity. Murdaugh still faces more than 100 charges in state and federal courts. Prosecutors say the crimes include tax evasion and stealing from clients and his family’s law firm, as well as running a drug and money laundering ring — even unsuccessfully arranging for someone to kill him so his surviving son could get life insurance money.In Fleming’s case, the victims were Gloria Satterfield and her two sons.
Murdaugh promised the sons, who were young adults, he would take care of them and recommended they hire Fleming as their lawyer. He didn’t tell them Fleming was a longtime friend, college roommate and godfather to one of his sons.
