Convicted family killer Alex Murdaugh is hoping to get a new murder trial — but even if things go his way, the 56-year-old won’t get out of prison anytime soon. 

The disgraced South Carolina lawyer is also serving two other lengthy terms — 40 years in federal court and 27 years in state court — for a slew of financial crimes, including theft, fraud and embezzlement. 

The charges stem from several years where Murdaugh stole money from his law firm and its clients.
