A South Carolina grand jury has returned four new indictments against suspended attorney Alex Murdaugh, charging him with 23 more crimes, the state attorney general said Friday.

The charges include 19 counts of breach of trust with fraudulent intent and four counts of computer crimes.

The latest indictment alleges that Murdaugh stole more than $2.2 million meant for four clients: Natarsha Thomas, Hakeem Pinckney, Arthur Badger and Deon Martin.

Murdaugh is accused of stealing nearly $8.5 million in settlement money altogether, according to indictments.

CNN has reached out to Murdaugh's attorney for comment.

Earlier this week, Judge Alison Lee denied Murdaugh's motion to reconsider his bond. In December, Lee set Murdaugh's bond at $7 million for 48 charges from a state grand jury.

Systemic corruption must be exposed in every corner of our nation and this particular rot runs really deep. Hoping the people of South Carolina can get it done - lots of powerful people trying to cover their tracks and pin it all on this dude.

Alex Murdaugh Is a Person of Interest in June Murders of Wife and Son, His Lawyer Says
Alex Murdaugh, who faces several other charges, is facing scrutiny after the murders of his wife and younger son

Alex's wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and the couple's younger son, Paul, were fatally shot outside the family home on June 7. Alex returned to the family property shortly after 10 p.m. and called 911 to report discovering the bodies.

Authorities have not identified a motive or a suspect in the killings. No one has been arrested, and authorities are giving scant information about the case — except to say that Maggie and Paul were shot with two different firearms.

15. Interesting.

So the question is did he hire a contract to have them murdered? Or was it a revenge hit job?

[Demovictory9]

16. or did he shoot them himself

[msfiddlestix]
