A South Carolina judge has ordered disgraced attorney-turned-convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh to pay a $500,000 settlement to the family of Mallory Beach through his insurance.
Mallory Beach was 19 years old when she was thrown off the Murdaugh family's boat in February 2019 after Alex's youngest son, Paul Murdaugh, allegedly crashed into a bridge after a night of drinking. Beach's body was found in the water a week later, and several other teenagers were injured in the crash.
