Alex Murdaugh hired a hit man who was also a former client of his to shoot him in the head so his eldest son could receive a 10M insurance payout in his death. I said before that a lawyer fixing his own tire on the side of the road is more unusual than getting shot in the head and surviving. Alex's former law firm had benefited the Murdaugh family for generations. Yet when his father died in June, the dynasty was crumbling. In this episode of Drowning Verdict, I talk about the money train the family was riding, and how a little known legal tactic had turned Hampton County, SC into a judicial hellhole, one that made him prosperous in an otherwise struggling community.
