Murdaugh's lawyer recorded him reading entries into a journal he kept during his double murder trial for an upcoming Fox Nation documentary.
In a new interview, Buster Murdaugh said his father is innocent of killing his mother and brother and that the murderer is still at large.has lost his phone privileges and his prison tablet computer after his lawyer recorded him reading his journal entries on a call for a documentary about his case, South Carolina Corrections Department officials said Wednesday.
Prison policy prohibits inmates from talking to the media without permission because the agency "believes that victims of crime should not have to see or hear the person who victimized them or their family member on the news," state prisons spokeswoman Chrysti Shain said in a statement. The media interview violation, along with another violation for using a different inmate's password to make a telephone call, are prison discipline issues and not a crime, Shain said.Murdaugh also lost his ability to buy items in the prison canteen for a month in the discipline hearing held Monday, Shain said.
He will have to get permission from prison officials to get another tablet, which can be used to make monitored phone calls, watch approved entertainment, read books or take video classes. Murdaugh, 55, is serving a life sentence without parole for killing his wife and younger son. Prosecutors said the now-disbarred attorney was worried investigators were about to determine he stole millions from his law firm and clients and was trying to get sympathy and buy more time to cover up the crimes.
