Trial date set for alleged Murdaugh accomplice Cory Fleming in financial theft case

HAMPTON, S.C. — Suspended Beaufort County lawyer Cory Fleming will go on trial Sept. 11 for financial crimes he allegedly carried out with convicted killer and former lawyer Alex Murdaugh.

The crimes involve the alleged theft of a $4.3 million inheritance due the sons of the Murdaugh family’s housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, from liability insurance proceeds after Satterfield died from injuries in a 2018 fall at Murdaugh’s house.

After Satterfield’s death, Murdaugh allegedly hatched a scheme involving Fleming to steal some $4.3 million in insurance money from Satterfield’s sons, according to state grand jury indictments. Murdaugh wound up with most of the money, but Fleming also shared in the proceeds, indictments say.
