South Carolina – In a confession of judgment filed on Tuesday, Alex Murdaugh admits he owes the sons of his late housekeeper Gloria Satterfield more than $4.3 million.
The longtime housekeeper for the Murdaughs died after a fall at their home in 2018.
Satterfield’s sons, Tony Satterfield and Brian Harriott later filed a wrongful death lawsuit and have accused Murdaugh of working together with friend and attorney Cory Fleming to steal millions in a settlement they were awarded.
Tony Satterfield and Brian Harriott said they found out a settlement was reached in their mother’s death from reading a newspaper article, but they were never told by Fleming.
Since Murdaugh’s assets are being managed by a receiver while he faces multiple lawsuits and investigations, recovery and distribution of the money will be at the receiver’s discretion.
