Cory Fleming was sentenced to 46 months in prison for a scheme with Alex Murdaugh to defraud $4.3 million in insurance money from the sons of Gloria Satterfield.
Cory Fleming was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison after he pleaded guilty this year to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Fleming, a former attorney who became best friends with Murdaugh at law school, was accused of helping Murdaugh in a scheme to defraud $4.3 million in insurance money intended for the sons of Gloria Satterfield, the Murdaugh housekeeper who died in 2018 while working at the family’s home in Colleton County, S.C.
“There must be consequences for this kind of conduct,” Gergel said at Tuesday’s sentencing hearing in Charleston, according to the South Carolina outletFleming, who still faces state charges related to the Satterfield and Pinckney cases, told the judge he had “made some terrible decisions and broke the law.”In addition to his prison sentence, which is on the lower end of federal sentencing guidelines for the crime, Fleming was ordered to pay roughly $102,000 in restitution, including interest.
Justin Bamberg, an attorney for Pinckney, echoed Bland’s frustration about the damage Fleming and Murdaugh, two former South Carolina lawyers, had done.
