South Carolina judge sends Murdaugh’s alleged accomplice to jail for breaking bond

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina judge on Thursday revoked bond for Curtis Eddie Smith, a distant cousin and alleged co-conspirator of Alex Murdaugh’s, sending Smith back to jail possibly until trial.

In a hearing at the Richland County courthouse, Judge Clifton Newman revoked Smith’s bond after S.C. Attorney General prosecutor Creighton Waters told the judge that Smith was lying when he told the judge at a June bond hearing that he had no money.

Newman said he is open to revisiting the bond at a later date.
