COLUMBIA, S.C. — Alex Murdaugh will stay in jail for the foreseeable future.
State Judge Alison Lee on Tuesday denied a motion by Murdaugh's attorneys to sharply reduce Murdaugh's bond from the current $7 million.
"After considering all of the information provided, this Court finds that the current bond is reasonable to assure his appearance in court as defendant remains a flight risk and potential danger to himself and community," Lee wrote.
