In a court filing last month, prosecutors laid out their case in the fullest terms yet, saying that a gulf existed between how Mr. Murdaugh portrayed himself and the man he really was: “an allegedly crooked lawyer and drug user who borrowed and stole wherever he could to stay afloat and one step ahead of detection.”

“The jury will need to understand the distinction between who Alex Murdaugh appeared to be to the outside world - a successful lawyer and scion of the most prominent family in the region - and who he was in the real life only he fully knew - an allegedly crooked lawyer and drug user who borrowed and stole wherever he could to stay afloat and one step ahead of the detection,” Waters wrote Thursday.

That gift will come in handy, given the turmoil that’s about to erupt among rival organized crime syndicates in Glasgow after the disappearance of a crooked lawyer named Bobby Carter, the “right-hand man” of gang boss Cam Colvin.
