If Harpootlian is serious about winning an appeal, and a not guilty verdict in a new trial, he needs to add Todd Rutherford to the defense team.

Who is paying for this defense? Is Alex has any money it should be going to his victims.

1) You’re the zillionth person to ask this question.
2) If the SCAG’a office, the federal government, and attorneys for the victims aren’t publicly concerned, then why are you?

Harpootlian was so irritated he could barely be bothered to show up for Murdaugh’s trial and his co-counsel was completely lost throughout. But those are the attorneys Murdaugh chose. Becky Hill should be in jail and Alex Murdaugh needs to remain there,

““This isn’t about whether people like Alex Murdaugh,” he said. “It’s about whether the system worked the way it’s supposed to”

In other words, “…yeah, of course Elick is guilty, but this is the only chance he’s got to get into the federal prison system…”
