A group of South Carolina senators aren t getting much clarity as they seek answers about how $1.8 billion ended up passing through a state bank account over the past decade
COLUMBIA — Lawyers for Alex Murdaugh say an FBI agent conducting a polygraph test the agency says the convicted killer flunked had asked odd questions, throwing the test s results off. The lawyers say the agent confided to Murdaugh he had just examined the notorious Dutch killer of an Alabama teen. The name-check of Joran van der Sloot in court papers is just the latest strange twist in the case of Murdaugh, the disbarred lawyer who is serving a life sentence for murder in the deaths of his wife and son. Prosecutors say the failed polygraph means a plea deal should be revoked that would have Murdaugh serve a sentence for theft at the same time as his state prison sentences.
