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.

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A trial is scheduled to start in June 2025 for a California man charged with trying to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home in a suburb of Washington, D.C. U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte set the trial date for Nicholas John Roske during a hearing Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland. It was the first hearing for the case in nearly two years. Roske, of Simi Valley, California, was arrested near Kavanaugh’s home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, in June 2022. Roske was armed with a gun and a knife, carried zip ties and was dressed in black when he arrived in the neighborhood by taxi just after 1 a.m., federal authorities said. Roske, who was 26 when he was arrested, pleaded not guilty to attempting to murder a justice of the United States. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The FBI said in the meeting that they believe Crooks was “strikingly intelligent” but likely suffered from an...
