Alex Murdaugh hoped his surviving son would collect the $10 million life insurance payout, according to his lawyers (via toofab)
Murdaugh's lawyer Richard Harpootlian also told NBC that his client was cooperating with police because he"didn’t want law enforcement to spend time on this fake crime" instead of on his wife and son's unsolved murder case.
Murdaugh found his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, shot dead outside their home in Islandton, S.C. in June. Police have yet to name any suspects in their deaths, which have been classified as investigators. Harpootlian, however, believes"we'll know this week whether the one suspect we're look at bears further scrutiny."
Meanwhile, the hit man scheme fallout comes as Murduagh faces other legal challenges: his law firm accused him of misappropriating funds. Two days after the failed attempt at this life, Murdaugh released a statement saying his law license has been suspended. "The murders of my wife and son have caused an incredibly difficult time in my life," he shared in the statement."I have made a lot of decisions that I truly regret. I'm resigning from my law firm and entering rehab after a long battle that has been exacerbated by these murders. I am immensely sorry to everyone I've hurt including my family, friends and colleagues. I ask for prayers as I rehabilitate myself and my relationships.
Although Murdaugh has yet to be arrested, Harpootlian said he expects Murdaugh will eventually be charged in the conspiracy case.
