Judge Clifton Newman ruled on Monday that evidence pertaining to Alex Murdaugh's other alleged crimes would be permitted in the trial. The ruling is a big win for the prosecution, which filed documents indicating lawyers plan to paint Murdaugh as a man out of options, desperate to distract from his financial crimes.
"I find that the jury is entitled to consider the apparent desperation of Mr. Murdaugh because of his dire financial situation and the treat of being exposed. ... possibly resulting in the commission of the alleged crimes," Newman said.
Murdaugh is the subject of a number of state investigations and has been indicted on nearly 100 different charges including fraud and drug trafficking. The admission of evidence related to these alleged crimes is expected to prolong what was already anticipated to be a three-week trial.

this judge should have gone ahead and retired because he only sides with the state Murdaugh's lawyers should have told the court that Murdaugh could not get a fair trial in SC and I don't care one way or another about Murdaugh never even heard of him, but everyone deserves a fair trial. I don't like a cocky somebody and the state's attorney is just that a cocky individual. So now this judge is one of the attorneys. And explaining things to thee defense instead of saying one or two words I think this judge thinks him helping the state will be a good note to retire on putting a man in prison a certain man that is.
I've been so disgusted and angry and really just angry over the way judge Newman is conducting his courtroom. I've seen him before he's the one nasty son-of-a-b**** I could care less about that. I do believe however he's trying to make a statement before he retires he should have retired six years ago. Turtle man.
You seen hateful, are you ?
