Top SC judge wants to revoke Alex Murdaugh's law license

[NYPOST] The South Carolina Supreme Court

...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
wants to revoke the law license of attorney Alex Murdaugh, saying there is overwhelming evidence he stole millions of dollars from his clients even though more than 70 criminal charges against the prominent lawyer have not been resolved.

Also still unresolved are the shooting deaths of Murdaugh’s wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, more than a year ago. No one has been charged in their deaths, which have led to at least a half-dozen investigations into Murdaugh, his family and his finances that resulted in indictments that Murdaugh stole $8.5 million from people who hired him.

Murdaugh losing his law license permanently would be a sharp blow to a family that has dominated the legal scene in tiny Hampton County for nearly a century. Murdaugh’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather were the elected prosecutors for 87 years straight.

Alex Murdaugh once worked for the family-founded law firm, which boasted of more than a dozen verdicts in civil cases of over $1 million. The firm said in September that Murdaugh was stealing money.

In its order Thursday, the state Supreme Court also cited charges against Murdaugh for filing a false police report and fraud when he claimed someone shot at him as he changed a tire on the side of a remote two-lane Hampton County road.

I see, before the family and his own shooting, reports emerged that Murdaugh was pushed out of his law firm over "millions in missing funds."

On September 16, 2021, according to court Doc's he was arrested in connection to an insurance fraud scheme that court documents say involved him arranging for his own killing so his surviving son could collect the life insurance payout.

So he now is facing charges of insurance fraud, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, and filing a false police report, according to a statement from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. (SCLED)

#2 The entire point of becoming a lawyer is to steal legally. He couldn't stick to that...

#3 The fatal error here was stealing from his law partners. Bar associations will tolerate some misconduct, but that's a real red line.
