In a pivotal moment in the double murder trial against Alex Murdaugh , a South Carolina judge ruled Monday that he would allow the jury to hear evidence of financial crimes allegedly perpetrated by the once-powerful lawyer .

State prosecutors contend the murders were committed to cover up a slew of financial misdeeds by Murdaugh, who they say stole about $8.5 million from more than a dozen victims and sought to garner sympathy ahead of being publicly exposed. "I find that the jury is entitled to consider whether the apparent desperation of Mr. Murdaugh because of his dire financial situation … [Read more...] about Judge allows Alex Murdaugh’s alleged financial crimes into evidence at murder trial, a pivotal win for the prosecution
