COLUMBIA, S.C. — Disbarred South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh has been indicted on charges that he stole money from his former Hampton law firm and a loan that was issued to one of his brothers, according to new state grand jury indictments.
The indictments were handed down earlier this week and were released Friday by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office after the publication of this report. In addition to Murdaugh, Spencer Anwan Roberts — a newly introduced defendant in the Murdaugh saga — and Jerry K. Rivers also were indicted, the attorney general said.
The indictments, in part, charge that Murdaugh took more than $91,000 from legal fees in December 2020 and January 2021 from his former law firm without the firm knowing and put the money toward his own personal use.
