WASHINGTON, Sept 17 — A prominent US lawyer who allegedly attempted to stage his own murder was charged on Thursday with insurance fraud and lying to the police in the latest twist in a bizarre crime saga.
Hampton County Judge Tonja Alexander granted Murdaugh’s release on a personal recognisance bond of US$20,000 to allow him to get treatment at a rehabilitation facility for what his lawyer said was a “tremendous opioid addiction.” “The only person he’s a danger to is himself,” Harpootlian said. “This crime involved his attempt to have himself shot so that his son could collect insurance.”
But Curtis Smith, the hit man hired by Murdaugh, botched the job. He shot him in the head but the bullet only grazed his skull.
