Under the plea agreement, the Government will recommend that Alex Murdaugh’s co-conspirator serve five years (instead of the seven he was originally sentenced to). Russell has already served 13 months …

This is great news. Not only because it means I don’t have to spend two $$$ weeks in an Air BnB, I won’t have to suffer through days of Laffitte cousin testimony or listen to Russell’s annoying attorney, Mark Moore.
This man was GUILTY all along. He knew it. Alex knew it. Everyone knew it. Russell was just hoping for a break to ESCAPE accountability.
I hope this announcement brings some peace to Alania and Hannah Plyler, Arthur Badger, Natasha Thomas and Hakeem Pinckney’s mother, Pamela.
