Alex Murdaugh News
Crime and Cask News: The federal insurance trial against Alex Murdaugh is scheduled to begin on January 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in Charleston, presided over by Judge Richard Gergel. This case, initiated by Nautilus Insurance Company, focuses on allegations that Murdaugh misappropriated $3.8 million from a wrongful death settlement meant for the family of Gloria Satterfield, his former housekeeper who died following a fall at the Murdaugh family’s Moselle estate in 2018.
Representing the Satterfield family is South Carolina attorney Eric Bland, who has been instrumental in uncovering details of Murdaugh’s alleged fraud. Bland asserts that Murdaugh, with the assistance of attorney Cory Fleming, conspired to reroute the settlement funds away from the Satterfields. Nautilus Insurance argues they were misled into paying the claim under false pretenses, as Murdaugh reportedly coordinated a cover-up to keep the family from ever seeing the money.

Since his indictment, Murdaugh has resisted cooperation with both Nautilus and federal authorities, repeatedly invoking privilege over critical documents linked to his financial dealings. This trial will not only delve into the specific allegations of insurance fraud but is also part of a broader examination of Murdaugh’s suspected long-running financial schemes. As the trial date approaches, Bland has emphasized his commitment to securing justice for the Satterfields, highlighting the betrayal involved in a case that continues to draw national attention.
The trial date is set for January 6th, 2025 at 9am. It will take place in Charleston, SC at the J. Waties Waring Judicial Center.
