Despite lawyers for Alex Murdaugh saying his client is unable to afford new underwear in jail, Judge Alison Renee Lee, presiding judge of the South Carolina State Grand Jury, denied Murdaugh a lower bond in an order filed Tuesday.Fox News
Murdaugh's lawyers argued that their client couldn't afford to pay his phone bill at Murdaugh's latest bond hearing, according to The Associated Press. They also said that a different judge froze Murdaugh's accounts to ensure victims in multiple lawsuits would have an opportunity to receive settlements.
"...This Court finds that the current bond is reasonable to assure his appearance in court as Defendant remains a flight risk and potential danger to himself and the community," the order from Lee reads.
