Murdaugh is already serving a life sentence in a South Carolina state prison for killing his wife and son.
The disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh is serving life in prison for the murders of his wife Maggie and son Paul.Alex Murdaugh was arraigned Wednesday on federal money laundering and wire fraud charges for indictments saying he stole money from his clients, and although he pleaded not guilty for now, his lawyer said that might change soon.
A federal guilty plea to the charges that can mean decades in prison would guarantee a long time behind bars for Murdaugh even if his pending appeal of his double murder conviction was successful.
