Alex Murdaugh's Appeal on Federal Financial Crimes Was Denied
Alex Murdaugh was sentenced federally for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. Murdaugh made a plea deal with the feds to plea guilty because he had already admitted to the crimes during the the state's murder trial.The judge sentenced him to 40 years which was more than the prosecution recommended.
