Attorneys for convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh are seeking federal control over his remaining assets, which have been under state control for nearly two years. They argue that the federal government won't charge fees for overseeing the assets, unlike the state receivers who have already denied a request for more money to pay for Murdaugh's appeal. The fight over Murdaugh's money arose after his guilty plea to 22 financial crimes. The receivers have been assigned to determine how much can be spent on Murdaugh's defense and have been paid over $641,000. The exact value of Murdaugh's assets is unknown.
