Feds Push Back Against Alex Murdaugh’s Sentencing Appeal

Again FITS, I am NOT a lawyer (only better than most), but you made an error and Richard Alex Murdaugh’s (RAM) is making a serious one.
Yours, FITS, that the Government’s motion is not to U.S. District Judge Gergel in Charleston but to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit which sits in Richmond, Va.
RAM’s defense team is making the most serious error in arguing MAINLY that the sentence is excessive. If I were his lawyer, and according to some U.S. Supreme Court decisions, an inmate may use non-lawyers to assist him, I would argue to withdraw RAM’s guilty pleas ALTOGETHER in both state and federal courts.
Yes! RAM testified that he was sober, etc. But how could a lay person know how depressed he really was and incapable of making rational decisions after the murders of his wife and younger son were FALSELY pinned on him?
That is where it is at, not some claim of excessiveness.

Nobody should enter into a plea agreement with the feds, since federal judges are not bound to abide by the agreed upon sentences. Generally, federal proceedings seem unfair to defendants.
