I agree with the Satterfield attorneys that Murdaugh, Harpo and Griff are making a mockery of the justice system. Murdaugh made a confession of judgment regarding Satterfield. Harpo and Griff know that Murdaugh is a career criminal and very disturbed, but they’ll keep going as long as they can cuz there’s money to be had, and Murdaugh has nothing else to do but pick his teeth clean and suck snot.
Has Liz Farrell been added to the legal team? This reads exactly the way a certain scripted podcast sounds. I agree it is not a professionally written legal document. While I am totally against Murdaugh and his attorneys, it continues to amaze me that Eric Bland is sacrificing his professionalism and legal reputation in his associations. Ego and publicity have destroyed many before.
Bland is a bit of a tool (actually, he’s a bit of a toolbox) but he and Richter make some excellent points in their filing. The only reputations being destroyed in this debacle are “HarpoGriffin’s”. Pooty Poot has probably permanently destroyed his already questionable legacy. The idea that this 1/2 of the clown car was a “powerful” defendant’s attorney is beginning to look like so much hype. And Griffin, Jeezelouise, dude, you weren’t viewed as a clown car passenger until you got hooked up with Harpo and “Elick”. I know an attorney who described his first experience in court with Griffin as “…an ass whipping, and it was my ass that got whipped…” who is now wondering what “Murdawk” has on him.
The idea that Bland/Richter are in any ways the bad guys here is simply self serving. Yes, they’ve made a little money, but for the most part, the money has come from the very guys who should have kept “Elick” from running amuck in the SC legal and banking systems. The idea that the Satterfield family has any liability in this slow moving dumpster fire is simply wrong – all of the money Bland/Richter has recovered on their behalf has come from the idiots who allowed “Elick” to screw them. “Elick” stole the money from the insurance companies. Bland/Richter bullied it out of the people who should have ensured “Elick” paid the Satterfields (including PiMPED, Nautilus and Lloyds). Those folks willingly paid to avoid being taken to court and body slammed even harder.
I appreciate that you continue to follow this case but you’ve got this issue completely wrong.
I enjoyed reading the 35 page brief with 19 exhibits, and believe it was of PGA Tour quality. In it the attorneys for the Satterfield family explain in detail why the attempt by the Murdaugh lawyers to set aside their own client’s confession of judgement on grounds that he is an admitted liar is a Whiff, a Slice, a Top, a Chunk, a Hook, a Duff, a Block, and Out of Bounds! They seek sanctions against the Murdaugh lawyers for filing a frivolous motion. What they have done is counter a ridiculous motion with ridicule, and they did so with total effectiveness.
The conclusion of that response and motion for sanctions (“response”) is as shocking as its beginning and illustrates why it should be stricken as scandalous. But it otherwise offers unwitting proof of Alex Murdaugh’s (“AM”) innocence of the double murders.
Response always refers to Tony Satterfield and Bryan Harriot as the Satterfield “boys.”
Legally and factually, these are not boys but grown men, one of whom is fully gainfully employed; and the other is apparently not a Satterfield at all whether by blood or adoption. And even if he were, he chose to go by Harriot; and the lawyers who claim to represent him should have honored that choice of his.
Response concludes “their mother died in [AM’s] home.” She died of a heart attack in a hospital 24 days after having fallen UNWITNESSED in what was then AM’s and Maggie’s property.
Response concludes AM’s hand “literally” reaches from the grave. AM is in prison, not in a grave unless Satterfield Team have a hit on AM in prison.
The only interview of Maggie Murdaugh says she was TOLD by Satterfield’s family that the dogs had tripped Gloria.
Response includes NO EVIDENCE of any further investigation by Nautilus’ lawyers after the claim or by whatever any entity which paid the Satterfields $7.5 MILLION MORE than the $4.3 MILLION what Nautilus and Llyods of London paid to Chad Westendorf for the Satterfields.
There is NO FREE MONEY. It all gets passed to hapless consumers one way or another, whether through high insurance premiums, high bank fees and interest, or even high attorney hourly rates if they use part of it for malpractice insurance to be paid for fake claims.
The whole thing smacks of blackmail. Those $7.5 Million, which were paid, according to Response, BEFORE the confession of judgment, ERGO before the double murder trial, should be made public AND INVESTIGATED. Who paid them? To whom? For what? AND what judge approved them in WHAT LAWSUIT?
Most significantly, Tony Satterfield’s testimony that he received NOTHING for his mother’s death was FALSE or misleading at best. On that ground alone, AM should receive a new trial.
We live in a new prosecutorial-mafia era where money is being extorted in return for non-prosecution OR after wrongful prosecution. Sadly, some of the naive public supports that in dreams of getting on the game, too. The pot is finite, however, and extremes are always self-defeating.
AM finally woke up to the fact that there is really no honor among thieves; and it is time for all the thieves to be court-compelled to tell on each other so that their REAL victims, the consumer public, be compensated.

probably not smart to write a legal brief with the intent to please any audience other than the judge

I think Will is starting to sound jealous and might be in bed with “Team Murdaugh”
Slam dunk, Jay!
