COLUMBIA, S.C. — Attorneys for jailed South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh filed a lawsuit Monday against the interim director of Richland County’s Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center over the alleged improper release last week of Murdaugh’s phone calls from jail.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, seeks to prevent the release to the public of any further taped conversations between Murdaugh and others, including his family members. The lawsuit named Shane Kitchens, interim director of the detention center, as defendant in the case.
He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
