How is the Murdaugh defense team getting paid?Added:
When I talk to people about this case, everybody wonders, everybody says, "How are they getting paid?"
>> We took a fee, a great fee, to represent him on a murder case.
Or the case when the case is over, um well, we will fulfilled our contract.
This idea that we only we're not we're not insurance defense lawyers that bill by the hour. We are we take flat fees.
And sometimes uh you take a case, I mean, I've had cases I took huge fees on. Um and within a month of getting hired, I figured it out, went to the prosecutor with my evidence, and they dismissed the case.
So, you know, I've made money that people say that outrageous for the work he did.
And then a case like this, no, we're not we're going to when I say lose money, we're not going to be compensated for our time.
