Summary

Alex Murdaugh was sentenced federally for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. Murdaugh made a plea deal with the feds to plea guilty because he had already admitted to the crimes during the the state's murder trial. The judge sentenced him to 40 years which was more than the prosecution recommended. The judge said they did this to send a message to deter attorneys who may want to steal from their clients. Alex Murdaugh Appealed the sentencing but the government dismissed it because part of the plea was that he would not appeal the decisions that would be made. Murdaugh's murder case is still going through the appeal process for new trial due to Becky Hill's interference and his appeal on the murder conviction is still on hold. But as far as the financial crimes brought by the Feds, that case is now closed.

0:00.0	Welcome back. It's time for a quick bit clip. The full episode will be linked in the
0:04.9	description, but this is the quick bit clip to keep you in the loop for
0:09.7	everything that's happening on the live stream channel. Let's get into it.

0:40.4	And there are some tax cases that are still floating or at least last I checked
0:44.7	we're still floating could they have been resolved now maybe but on the murder case he got

0:59.5	federal prosecutors I see that you're asking for less than that.

1:12.2	But again, the judge was just like, I'm sending a message.
1:14.9	You're already in prison for life plus life. This is a message not just to murder about what he did,
1:21.3	but also a message to other attorneys in a position of trust that if they fuck around they will in fact find out.
1:28.0	The federal case was based on a plea deal.
1:31.0	Remember, we read through the entire plea agreement together. I know it's so many
