COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Supreme Court has officially disbarred disgraced Hampton County attorney Alex Murdaugh, who remains jailed in Richland County on numerous financial fraud charges.
The order came down Tuesday, the same day it was reported that Murdaugh will face charges in the June 2021 shooting deaths of his wife and son.
“Based on his admitted reprehensible misconduct, we hereby disbar Respondent Richard Alexander Murdaugh from the practice of law in South Carolina,” the one-page order signed by all five court justices said.
