The sons of Gloria Satterfield, the longtime Murdaugh family housekeeper who died at 57 in 2018 at the Moselle property in South Carolina where Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife Maggie and son Paul years later, won a key ruling Tuesday in a wrongful death and fraud lawsuit against the convicted killer, the plaintiffs’ attorneys say.

“We are beyond elated and so pleased to announce that Judge Bentley Price denied Alex Murdaugh, Jim Griffin’s, and Dick Harpootlian’s motion to vacate the confession of judgment that he gave to the Satterfields today,” said Eric S. Bland and Ronnie Richter, lawyers for Tony Satterfield and Brian Harriott. “This is a resounding defeat for team Murdaugh once again. They keep trying to victimize the Satterfields time and time again and each time the door gets slammed shut on them. Perhaps team Murdaugh will stop once and for all. It’s a great day for justice.”
