Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh has pleaded guilty to 22 counts of financial fraud and money laundering in federal court. Murdaugh, who is already serving life without parole for the murder of his wife and son, admitted to stealing from his clients and expressed a desire to be held accountable. The guilty plea in federal court could result in additional years in prison, even if his murder conviction is overturned on appeal. Murdaugh still faces about 100 charges in state court, including insurance fraud and drug offenses. He will be sentenced at a later date and is required to pay back $9 million.
