Judge sets $7 million bond for embattled South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh who's accused of financial wrongdoing and setting up a suicidal insurance fraud scheme
Last week, state Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that seven indictments with 21 criminal charges were filed against Murdaugh. A bond hearing Friday for Murdaugh for 27 previous charges was delayed after the new charges were filed, said a spokesperson from the attorney general's office.
Murdaugh is currently in jail on charges of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, accused of misappropriating millions of dollars in funds meant for the family of his longtime housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, who died in an accident at the Murdaugh home in 2018. A lawsuit against Murdaugh was filed in September on behalf of Satterfield's estate, seeking the money the family says it is due.

The Orangeburg school is the alma mater of U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, the top-ranking Black member of Congress.
