Ex-lawyer gets plea deal for 101 financial crimes after murdering wife and son; smirks in court.

Alex Murdaugh's life is at a crossroads. The prominent South Carolina personal injury lawyer is currently in prison, serving two life sentences for the murders of his wife Margaret and son Paul. Now, he has pleaded guilty to an additional 101 counts of financial crimes.

At a hearing on November 28, Judge Clifton Newman will determine Murdaugh's final sentence. Prosecutors asked for 27 years in prison as part of the plea deal.

Murdaugh's guilty plea comes after a high profile jury trial in March, after which he was found guilty of the murders. Despite admitting to the financial crimes, he continues to deny involvement in the double homicide.

The charges of financial crimes, which include wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy, are in connection to embezzling over $8.8million from his clients.

It remains to be seen what the final sentence will be for Alex Murdaugh and how it will shape the future of his life. Keep up with The Agency for the latest news and updates.
