Convicted family killer Alex Murdaugh appeared in federal court Wednesday after being indicted on 22 financial crimes charges last week. The disgraced lawyer pleaded not guilty to these crimes although he confessed to them in his family murder trial in February. The Law&Crime Daily team discusses Murdaugh’s surprising plea.

He wants it both ways. Guilty and not guilty of the same crimes. But a visit to the court is a get out of prison for a few hours .
Is there something in that murder conviction appeal claiming none of those crimes should have been brought up during that trial? The state claimed it was only to speak to his charachter.
When your Lawyer says "Its not a good idea that you testify" you should probably listen. Especially if you're a liar – I mean Lawyer.
I’ve been working EMS since 2004 this is crazy to me to charge this office and I’m by no means pro cop. Charge the parents gun companies this guy looked like he was running to the danger we’re not like most people we run towards the danger and also I’m sure there was a echo from the shots. When will the Texas cops be arrested I’ve never seen absolute ridiculous cops and wimps when it came to the kids. Find this guy not guilty he was running towards the danger and honestly h they will need other first responder on that jury you will be able to relate to the person you no trial. Arrest the guy n company teacher parents this guy had a gun and ran towards the danger and unless you ever been to a situation like that you truly wouldn’t understand.
Are these even the 99 other crirmes he's charged with? He's gonna be in court for rest of his life! At some point, he must realize he's better off accepting normalcy in prison instead being in jail waiting for court.
A upstanding family name that held good for over a century, blown into a Pollock type mess because of this man's lies, greed and disrespect for life.
I hope the first and last things he sees each day are his wife and sons faces.
What a deplorable man.
I reckon he is such a narcissist, he wants them to rake through the details so he can enjoy his achievements. He has surely perjured himself by owning up to the charges during the murder trial so he should be charged with perjury. They should drop all charges and sit him in a cell for the rest of his life. Cut off his supply for attention.
What a Pos man
Why on earth did Alec plea not guilty when he admitted to all of the financial crimes during his state testimony for Maggie and Paul’s murder trial. 😐. Legal eagles, please explain why he may have done this, as it is very confusing. ETA: someone answered it below lol! He wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face!!
🤦 This guy would rather implicate himself more than just returning the money he stole… good lord.
Wait. "Not Guilty"? 🤔. He admitted to them all during his murder trial 🤦♂️
He wants to know if they know where the money is. Also he likes to hear people talk about him
If he can get any charges released then maybe a retrial for the murders and get off.
When you're already in prison for life, what else can they possibly due to him? …. deprive him of commisary? … That would help with his waistline!!!
For heaven's sake he already admitted his guilt during the murder trial. He's toast.
Wants his free time going to court!😡
Why Are Peoples Wasting Mr Alex Ru Time , He Is Busy Please
I can't wait for the interview in 30 years admitting to everything. Actually describing what happened on that day, murdering his son and wife.
Could he be hoping to be moved to a federal prison? I hear they’re a whole lot nicer than a state prison.
I hope his attorneys got their money up front. Geeze.
Electric chair for the deaths! Im tired of feeding prisoners whove taken innocent lives!
Well he’s going to have a helluva time making that argument in court given he admitted to a lot of it at the murder trial.
How those 2 attorneys can continue representing him as an innocent man is repulsive. Nothing that man says is truthful. He lies about his lies. He's a career criminal with no redeeming qualities.
The fact anyone could vote for that good ol boy attorney of his is disgusting.
I hope Murdaugh gets released sometime in the near future instead of thrown in jail by some uppity judge
he doesn’t even know! Poor guy.
@Brian Buckmire How can he do that? After testifying under oath, that he did these things?!?! Gahd this man is disgusting! 🤬 How can he even pay for a defense?
(An alleged fall)
Not guilty! Put the murder trial financial crimes testimony into evidence and rest! He wants a trial so he can get scenery rides and day trips to the court house. If he thinks he can get favorable prison concessions for a plea he's smoking dope.
This is a waste of court resources. The man will never leave prison, whether another 10 or 15 years are added or not. His creditors can sue his estate for financial compensation, as little as that will help them. No defensible criminal justice purpose is being served here .
I bet he got turned down for a bed at club fed in exchange for a guilty plea 😏
Didn’t he already admit to most of this stuff
How can he plead not guilty to crimes that he already admitted to committing on the stand during the murder trial?
Didn’t he already admit to it in the murder trial
Lord have mercy please stop this man cause ain't nobody got time for his snot stories again.🤮🤢
I thought he confessed to those financial crimes before??? Another trial full of lies again 😩
