A disgraced US attorney has been charged with murder following the deaths of his wife and younger son, who were shot outside their home
If convicted of murder, Murdaugh would face 30 years to life in prison without parole. Prosecutors could also choose to seek the death penalty under state law because more than one person was killed.
He did this, they say, so his surviving son could collect a $10m life insurance policy, just days after the family firm determined he was stealing money. Prosecutors said Murdaugh got his home insurers to pay more than $4m in wrongful-death claims in Satterfield's case by saying he was negotiating for her family - but they claimed he in fact, did not give them any of the money.
