Alex Murdaugh’s financial theft accomplice, Russell Laffitte, requested a new trial after the disgraced lawyer testified the former Palmetto State Bank CEO had nothing to do with his crimes. Laffitte was convicted of multiple counts of fraud last November in connection to money stolen from Murdaugh’s clients. The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy breaks it down with South Carolina criminal defense attorney Chris Adams.

Why believe a liar.
This is ridiculous. This lier's word mean nothing. These are federal charges with a long paper trail.
Are you people on meth Alex has no credibility he a convicted murdered and lair no credibility
Murdaugh a lair it was proven that Alex lies and he is a convicted double muderer
Of course, Alec will take (HIT) the fall.. for ALL involved…
I STILL WONDER HOW HILARY GOT AWAY WITH WHAT YOU GOT AWAY WITH.. AND HOW EPSTEIN GOT A PASS,, EVEN—- **MCAFEE,,
IT'S ALL A THEATER..
It's all water under the bridge.. the ones at the top are controlling the show..
The sworn testimony of a person convicted of killing his own family, which such conviction could not have happened had the jury found him credible. So no, his self-serving statement that the jury likely found not credible shouldn't serve as the basis for finding error in a different trial.
What?!!! Nobody says the obvious, as the judge pointed out, he lied on the stand! What is his testimony worth? That’s a defense- saying he’ll tell the truth about LaFitte, he was protecting himself previously.🥴
What?!
@2:25 So did he take the money from the victims if he wasn't a part of these crimes ? ðŸ¤â€
Believe this Guy? And you will believe Anybody!

The sisters alone mean laffeite should stay there
How does AM testifying in his murder trial and admitting to stealing all that money from his clients after pleading not guilty to the charges relating to that affect what happens next? Do they still put him on trial, or is he now automatically guilty because he confessed to all the financial crimes during his testimony?
All I can say is good luck w/ tat’.
Bubba would be a better witness.
O, that’s right, Alex got 2 life sentences.
Thanks, Bubba.
I think Lafitte knows where the money is buried.
Alex has nothing to loose with anymore charges coming against him hes already gone for 2 life sentences.. I am sure he would be willing to help his ol buddy why wouldnt he at this point..lol
That Russell guy, is guilty, he knew what he was doing, he knew if something came thru if it was correct or not, Alex, Corey and Russell plotted this thing.
Trust can tend to totally blind people to another's faults.
—————————————————————————————–
This should always be borne in mind.
But there has to be evidence he was unaware he was being duped…..
Alex does not mind more law suites. He is in prison for life any way. Going to court will be a welcome relief for him to get out of his cell. He can't pay anyone any way!
They both knowingly were reaping people off. AM couldn't have received that money without the help of RL, and they both knew what they were doing was a felony.
How is it the AM's testimony absolves him if everybody knows AM is a pathological lier? Who is he to absolve anyone? Besides, doesn't the evidence point to Laffitte's involvement in the scams?
Exactly
