None of these attorneys for either defendant will get any favors from Judge Newman. Judge Newman is one of the best judges I’ve ever seen. Too bad he is retiring.
Nice to see Judge Newman and Creighton Waters back in action. After watching the entire Murdaugh trial, I feel like I know these two men personally. Both are superb with their skills in a courtroom.
In many of the hearings leading up to the Murdaugh trial, I was concerned that Waters might be to weak to prosecute Alex. I was so wrong, like hit it out of the ballpark wrong. The murder trial was EPIC ! Corey looks horrible, physically. They had so many people fooled. People loved Corey and Alex. It’s a lesson for all of us.
Yes Thank You! Freaking Amazing how the two stepped on the little people. 😢😢and I mean everyday people like my husband and I. They thought they were Kings of The lawyers, playing with peoples lives.
@@FitsTube I tried to read everything you had on the AM history and trial, I listened via accessibility settings on bike rides to work and on skating treks. Your coverage was beyond thorough and I'm sure the prosecution was using your amazing investigative skills. TY!
@@Driftwoodbaby, Not tooting my own horn but presenting OBJECTIVE facts from my having, thank God successfully, defended myself WITHOUT A LAWYER before a jury presided over by none other than Judge Clifton Newman. I have complete TRANSCRIPTS of my 22-26 February 2010 trial and they RELATE to issues that were raised in Alex Murdaugh's ("AM") trial AND are now issues in this motion for leave to suspend the appeal and allow an SC Criminal Rule 29(b) to be heard by the circuit (trial) court. I shall, God willing, post them separately so the posts are manageable. The first issue is whether communication, EVEN IF ONLY WITH THE EYES as Becky Hill admits in her book is proper. Here are the opening lines and the relevant lines from the transcript of 23 February 2010, the day of my jury selection. We had spent the previous day on my challenges to the constitutionality of the statute under which I was being prosecuted, the validity of the indictment, and my motion to recuse the prosecutor. Here are the relevant transcript excerpts: [page 2, line 1] Dr. Faltas: Good morning, Your Honor. [2] The Court: Good morning, everyone. [3] Dr. Faltas: If it pleases the Court? [4-5] The Court: All right. It does not please the Court. I’ll recognize you when I’m ready, ma’am. [6] Dr. Faltas: Thank you. [7-17] The Court: Okay. A few things. First, with regard to the court reporter’s inability to understand Dr. Faltas and the names of all those cases: Dr. Faltas, I’m going to have you to, with the assistance of the clerk’s office, copy the -- this will not require a response. This will not require a response. With the assistance of the clerk’s office to copy the first page of all of the cases that you cited yesterday and, Madam Clerk, either you or someone from the clerk’s office will need to assist her with copying those things at the clerk’s office during a break in the proceedings at some appropriate time. [18] The Clerk: Yes, Your Honor. [fast forward to pp 76-77 OF the first part of THAT DAY'S transcript ] [24 to page 77, line 2] Dr. Faltas: When I was there before, that was before the reconsideration before Judge James and before they had decided to release the computers back to me. So there was no... [3] The Court: Okay. I understand. [4-10] Dr. Faltas: And I want to put on the record once again Ms. Helms making faces at me or at the jurors when she doesn’t hear me and gestures and this is all to my detriment. This is going to be a recurring issue, and if there is an appeal, there is going to be an issue with my ability to obtain the transcript from her. And I want that on the record, if it pleases the Court. [11-21] The Court: All right. It’s on the record. And witnesses should not make faces. None of the participants should make facial reactions to anything in such a way as to cause a juror to form an opinion of any of the participants based on expressions made by anyone in the courtroom, be that person a court reporter, a judge, a law clerk, a bailiff, witness, anyone, spectator. Poker face, everyone, as to everything and we’ll follow that rule in this court. [¶] Okay. Now, with regard to the computers, they’re at the police department. You have the right to go there and get them. [22] Ms. Weiss: Yes, Your Honor So, "poker face, everyone" was the direct ORDER from Judge Clifton Newman. Becky Hill should have known that but ADMITTED communication with the jurors at least with her eyes. Strike one against Becky Hill.
And to commit these crimes after taking an oath speaks volumes about the evil that lives within. I am so glad to see the Murdaugh dynasty destroyed. The Murdaugh had a hold on the entire town.
I’m from New Jersey and I just can’t get enough of Mr. Waters & Judge Newman! Absolutely compelling and fascinating! Thank you Fitznews for this coverage!
I’m from Melbourne- Australia. So well said, fascinating people to watch and Creighton is ruthless with his honesty and compelling to listen to. 💜😁. I’m a huge fan of FITZ, I think there are a few of us who now want honest representation in their news service regardless of where you live. Very refreshing.

Note also that the SOUTH CAROLINA RULE now says "AN advantage," NOT "a decisive advantage," or even "an unfair advantage," in a civil matter. Eric Bland did not only "participate in presenting" the prosecutions of Alex Murdaugh ("AM"), Corey Fleming, and Russell Laffitte, Eric Bland practically RAN those prosecutions AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT to his advantage in the theft of REPORTEDLY over ten million dollars from Bank of America and PMPED. Before allowing them to speak at ANY sentencing, Judge Newman should ask Eric Bland and EVERY MEMBER of the Satterfield estate who got ANY MONEY from Bank of America and/or PMPED whether they have ANY PROOF that (1) AM's dog, Bourbon, caused Gloria Satterfield to fall at Moselle on 2 February 2018; (2) Gloria Satterfield was at Moselle on 2 Febraury 2018 for ANY purpose OTHER THAN working for AM and his family at Moselle; AND (3) Gloria Satterfield's death IN HOSPITAL on 26 February 2018 was due to that fall and NOT to her diabetis and coronary artery disease. If they have NO PROOF OTHER THAN AM's now-recanted say-so to the insurance adjustor, then this whole charade should be shut down. The entirety of Corey Fleming's and Russell Laffitte's, and even AM's, prosecutions should be thrown out because infected with the participation of lawyer(s) with advantages to gain in civil litigation. There just is no other way to enforce Rule 4.5 of the rules of lawyer conduct, WHICH ALSO APPLIES TO JUDGES WHO ARE LAWYERS, other than to throw out prosecutions infected with the participation of lawyers with advantages to gain in a civil matter. Just as there is no other way to enforce the prohibition against illegal searches and seizures other than to throw out the evidence obtained from such searches EVEN IF it means FEW guilty people walk. In my own 22-26 February 2010 General Sessions jury trial (where thank God, I defended myself WITHOUT A LAWYER and the jury refused to convict me and ANOTHER judge later dismissed the false harassment charges against me WITH prejudice), none other than Judge Clifton Newman presided and heard DIRECTLY form the supposed "police investigator" who helped Hatchet-for-Hire Heather fabricate the false harassment charges against me that said investigator was in CONSTANT contact with several of the defendants in a civil suit I had brought, did NOT investigate any facts but took them as true because "Mr. Mason said so," and was receiving faxes and photos from THAT Mr. Mason's lawyer. Yet, Judge Clifton Newman did NOTHING about that. Judge Clifton Newman STILL does NOTHING about that EVEN after I presented him with transcripts comparing testimony and representations TO HIM in my trial with OFFICIAL transcripts and criminal records OBJECTIVELY DOCUMENTING that Hatchet-for-Hire Heather suborned 373 perjuries and forgeries and herself LIED about the criminal records of her witnesses, notably the criminal record of convicted-and-reconvicted durg dealer Cory/Corey Lamont Curry, who loudly threatened to rape me in my own parking lot and stood there grabbing his crotch at me and accosted me in my car with lewd gestures. Judge Clifton Newman STILL does NOTHING about that and DID NOTHING to defend me, even after he complimented me ON THE TRANSCRIPT as "most pleasant and gracious" and "not frivolous at all, he DID NOTHING to defend me when Kaizar Kittredge, for corrupt reasons of his own, FALSELY castigated me as "frivolous and vexatious" all in order to force loser lawyers on me. Judge Clifton Newman (who, BTW, is/was FaceBook friends with lawyers attempted to be forced on me) should believe that it is my compassion for him as a loving father that makes me say this TO him BEFORE History says it OF him: Judge Clifton Newman, all those people fawning over you now because you (intentionally or not) satisfy their lust for blood will turn on you the moment you exercise any independent thinking. Heck, they will turn on you the moment you leave the bench. Then History will take a hard look at what you did AND WHAT YOU FAILED TO DO. Sins of omission are as culpable as sins of commission. As a church-going person, Judge Clifton Newman should have read or heard the Epistle of St. James or should read it or re-reread it now.
@@lindabedwell807 What did he say? This is scary! In AM’s murder trial ,we heard that clients never raised an alarm because they believed AM, trusted him. Corey had a similar “ good guy “ reputation in the community . Who CAN we trust?
No one else from my resign firm was running these scams. Outside audit done. Just or y n Russell. Money laundering n where the money went it up in air. My guess is gambling
So good to see this incredible lawyer in action again. I don't ever want to be on the receiving end of the stick with him. Great to see Judge Newman again as well. Thumbs up!
It would be lovely if Newman and Waters were at the highest levels of law and power in our nation's capital to get rid of the corruption there. We need more men and women who love justice and fights for JUSTICE.
Creighton Waters/ judge Newman are THE BEST!! Such an awesome professional couple of men whom you could trust with your life! I absolutely love listening to this…. I’m a LAW NERD! Bless you both and TY for sharing and airing this!!
Agent Owens was not at his best when he testified at trial. His parent unexpectedly died a day or 2 before he testified. No one would be 100% that close to losing a parent.
@@vernareed2692 I think it must be a different David Owen that you're talking about. If not please link your source:) His mother died the day before he gave evidence and he was treated appallingly by Murdaugh's disgusting attorney, who knew that, and he kicked him when he was down.
Their victims were poor, pathetic folks who trusted them and NEEDED that money. Every one of them were just hard working folks who had catastrophic things happen to them, and these lawyers stole their money - sickening. Thank God Mr Waters wasn't intimidated by Murdaugh and his family.
I agree. So disgusting. I believe when they pass on to another life, they will have to pay on their judgement day. They both should have to work at homeless food shelters and pantries. Our son volunteered from 16 years old till 20 years old at the Methodist church. Those people loved my so . My son was very humbled if he thought he was spoiled, he sure did not discriminate to anyone. And still doesn’t. We have told him to treat everyone fairly.
@greenbeagle and I don't know how much suspicion if any about how Gloria Satterfield was actually hurt!! There was some questions at one time I got out of it.
This man has ruined many peoples lives and eroded trust. He deserves more than a slap on the wrist and a few years in the federal system. He needs significant state jail time, followed by federal time. Not concurrent but consecutive sentences. Plus reimbursement of his victims. Justice for his victims.
Very well said I agree, they should lose everything. Laffitte looks cocky to me, the only remorse he feels is for himself. Fleming should certainly of received more jail time.
The look on Fleming's face is priceless! It screams "Damn! They figured out every last piece of my scam; not just some, not half, not 90%, but every single penny I stole and exactly how I stole it!" "I was hoping to be able to lie in my defense, but I guess I would look kinda stupid now"...
Just watched Corey's sentencing yesterday. Thank you Sir Creighton and King Newman. At last justice is being served. Kudos to FitsNews .. your Australian fans applaud you 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
It certainly isn’t enough. However he’s lost his right to practice law 🙏 We don’t need the likes of him in the court room, I’m sure there’s many others, biting their nails worried they too, could be exposed..
We need to change the law when an insurance company disbursed payments, the beneficiary has to be notified as well as his attorney to avoid this type of behavior. The insurance company never contacted the beneficiary.
The security check is supposed to be the judge/court overseeing the settlement. IMO The court overseeing the settlements allowed the attorneys to hide the settlements.
What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive! How these men thought they would never be caught is total ignorance! Totally blinded by greed!

Thank you for posting this. You can clearly tell that Creighton isn't happy at all with how leniently Cory and Russel have been treated by the feds. He goes for it and that makes me love him even more. It's time to dismantle the good- old- boys club (hopefully including dodgy Judge Mullen) . Great to see Judge Newman too.
So great to see these professional passionate stewards of Justice!! I can never get enough Judge Newman and Creighton Waters. So glad to see the evil doers get what they deserve.
To think that that little Corey was sitting in that interrogation room acting like a bad ass trying to protect Alex after killing his wife and son is absolutely disgusting!!!!! Corey Fleming you’re a horrible person!
@@TheRealLittleBiddleOne might even call his new daytime wear a *Onesie* Ideal for all those outdoor play dates with -class- cell mates he has coming up! 😂😂😂
@@major_thomasinaunfortunately he’s looking forward to prison because its a whole lot better environment than county jail where I’m from, depending how small a county I guess it might not be that bad I have zero knowledge of jail in So Carolina I just realized, but if its near the same life becomes much better in prison and the sooner the better and he already signed a deal I believe so he knows he’s going regardless imo. Chances are he gets a fair sentence from this judge, because w/o him this whole fiasco might’ve turned out so much different thank goodness for this judge, the rest involved will surely see one another in hell.
Corey Fleming is a grown man for goodness sakes and made a choice. Don’t blame his demise on Murdaugh! It’s all about about one thing…..It’s called GREED! He knew what he was doing was wrong! My heart breaks for his wife and children who will suffer much because of his selfish greed!
I have no sympathy for his wife or children, they enjoyed the stolen money together. Living in a house that is too expensive for you to pay for except you steal, or living an expensive lifestyle on another person's money is not acceptable. The poor boys of the housekeeper lost their mom and compensation. Too much greed. Out of almost 4 million, you couldn't even give the poor boys 2 hundred thousand. Wow. This is more than greed but wickedness. They just couldn't imagine those boys have an easy life for a second.
@sharonscain7673 In a marriage or in a relationship, you talk about money, and salary. The question, where did you get that much money from, is self-evident. If the spouse does not question, she/he becomes an accomplice. Mrs. Fleming profited from the defrauded money just like her husband Cory fleming. The only victims in all of this are the victims of Alex Murdaugh and the children of Cory Fleming if they are minors!
@@onyourcoffeebreak2476I agree no sympathy what so ever. They lived the high life alright, lived off other people’s money, shame on them. I hope these poor boys are compensated. They lost their mother, money they needed, and rightly deserved.
Cory isn’t as cocky as he was when Alex was being interviewed by SLED and HE needed to know if they were there to get information or was Alex a suspect? !!!!
LOL I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one to pick up on that…and then I saw your comment. LAMO yeah all his cockiness has flown out the window.
Thanks so much for posting. It never fails to amaze me how long cases can be delayed before they actually get on with it, and with Lafitte how long sentencing can be delayed even after conviction.

Listening to the actions of these greedy bastards makes me sick to my stomach. That’s the perfect print on his shirt to prepare for where he’s going. Shameful. Thanks Fitsnews for streaming this. This Prosecutor is badass.
Not at all…Waters and Newman are “comfort food” for LawNerds. The morning after M was convicted I awoke with such peace. Good to be able to see them back in action.
Subscribed because of the coverage of anything “murderer murdauch and company” related. Thank you for posting this Fitsnews. Good to see the truth brought to light and hopefully justice to continue regarding all of this vile corruption and abuse. A great bonus ( or more importantly)is listening to Listening to Mr Waters is and the rulings of the moral, ethical and kind Judge Newman.
Where are the righteous lawyers out there? There is a Girardi lawyer in Los Angeles accused of the same thing. Anyone with a case with any lawyer handling money for them needs to call and get an accountant check the records.
Creighton Waters explained this evidence so well that the average person, like me can understand it. He's so impressive, but after watching the Murdaugh trial that's not surprising.
I might be wrong but I don’t think he’s been sentenced yet. If that’s right he may very well get a lot more. I say that because I think to everyone in that judicial system there in South Carolina there is a serious pattern coming to light…I think Waters and Newman are convinced these crimes go a lot deeper than just Alex Murdaugh and Corey Fleming. There will be more to follow so the “sentencing” needs to be long term for Fleming to set a precedent for those that come later.
Makes you wonder how long this corruption has been going on. I hope the murdaugh family all get investigated. Every last one of them. Good job Mr waters and judge Newman for bringing justice for the people of sc
FitNews Crew, U all Rock!!! Fantastic Investigative Journalism by all ! The stunning Dedication to Find, & Expose the TRUTHS on Corruption in South Carolinas Cess Pool of greed, , utterly Brazen, ❤❤❤Criminal Behavior. The Citizens of S.C. deserve wayyyy better than what has been the "Norm" for decades...
Corey Fleming also "looked them in the eye while deceiving,lying and stealing from them". What were these guys importing,exporting,distributing in that private air strip?What were all thse boat trips to Bahamas all about?
Judge Newman needs to go to Georgia and teach them how to timely pick a jury. YSL trial has been trying to seat a jury for 6 months! ETA: sorry 8 months w/o a juror sat.
I love watching and listening to Mr. Waters as he presents the evidence and connects it all to the defendant. He is absolutely amazing! And who doesn't love Judge Newman. We could use him on the Supreme Court. 👏👏⚖️🤗😍

Don’t you just love that dynamic duo of the Honorable Judge Newman and Attorney Mr. Waters?! Both reminds me of the legal system players only read in a John Grisham novel! Love it!!
Such a surprise: algoritme put your channel on my YT homepage and I was watching again DA Waters in a Murdaugh related case! I was immediately drawn into this hearing! And so nice to see Fleming and Lafitte in their position of defendants!! I immediately subscribed your channel! 🙋♀️from The Netherlands🇳🇱
None of these attorneys for either defendant will get any favors from Judge Newman. Judge Newman is one of the best judges I’ve ever seen. Too bad he is retiring.
Absolutely!
Totally Agee! 🥰
Judge Newman has superb skills in a court room, no doubt about it.
Judge Newman would make an amazing President. 🇺🇸
Couldn’t agree more!
Nice to see Judge Newman and Creighton Waters back in action. After watching the entire Murdaugh trial, I feel like I know these two men personally. Both are superb with their skills in a courtroom.
I love them too! I watched the whole trial too and they’re my fav prosecutor and judge!
In many of the hearings leading up to the Murdaugh trial, I was concerned that Waters might be to weak to prosecute Alex. I was so wrong, like hit it out of the ballpark wrong. The murder trial was EPIC !
Corey looks horrible, physically. They had so many people fooled. People loved Corey and Alex. It’s a lesson for all of us.
I just like how the prosecutor explains all his crimes anyone can understand what’s happening
Thank you Fitsnews for giving us a seat in the court room. Thank you!
Thank you for watching.
Yes Thank You! Freaking Amazing how the two stepped on the little people. 😢😢and I mean everyday people like my husband and I. They thought they were Kings of The lawyers, playing with peoples lives.
@@FitsTubeThanks!
@@FitsTube I tried to read everything you had on the AM history and trial, I listened via accessibility settings on bike rides to work and on skating treks. Your coverage was beyond thorough and I'm sure the prosecution was using your amazing investigative skills. TY!
The way these already wealthy and privileged men defrauded the people they were supposed to be helping is just unconscionable.
that's why I say people in positions of power that break laws should be punished more, instead of less. LEO, Politicians, Malpractice lawyers.
@@Driftwoodbaby, Not tooting my own horn but presenting OBJECTIVE facts from my having, thank God successfully, defended myself WITHOUT A LAWYER before a jury presided over by none other than Judge Clifton Newman.
I have complete TRANSCRIPTS of my 22-26 February 2010 trial and they RELATE to issues that were raised in Alex Murdaugh's ("AM") trial AND are now issues in this motion for leave to suspend the appeal and allow an SC Criminal Rule 29(b) to be heard by the circuit (trial) court.
I shall, God willing, post them separately so the posts are manageable.
The first issue is whether communication, EVEN IF ONLY WITH THE EYES as Becky Hill admits in her book is proper.
Here are the opening lines and the relevant lines from the transcript of 23 February 2010, the day of my jury selection. We had spent the previous day on my challenges to the constitutionality of the statute under which I was being prosecuted, the validity of the indictment, and my motion to recuse the prosecutor.
Here are the relevant transcript excerpts:
[page 2, line 1] Dr. Faltas: Good morning, Your Honor.
[2] The Court: Good morning, everyone.
[3] Dr. Faltas: If it pleases the Court?
[4-5] The Court: All right. It does not please the Court. I’ll recognize you when I’m ready, ma’am.
[6] Dr. Faltas: Thank you.
[7-17] The Court: Okay. A few things. First, with regard to the court reporter’s inability to understand Dr. Faltas and the names of all those cases: Dr. Faltas, I’m going to have you to, with the assistance of the clerk’s office, copy the -- this will not require a response. This will not require a response. With the assistance of the clerk’s office to copy the first page of all of the cases that you cited yesterday and, Madam Clerk, either you or someone from the clerk’s office will need to assist her with copying those things at the clerk’s office during a break in the proceedings at some appropriate time.
[18] The Clerk: Yes, Your Honor.
[fast forward to pp 76-77 OF the first part of THAT DAY'S transcript ]
[24 to page 77, line 2] Dr. Faltas: When I was there before, that was before the reconsideration before Judge James and before they had decided to release the computers back to me. So there was no...
[3] The Court: Okay. I understand.
[4-10] Dr. Faltas: And I want to put on the record once again Ms. Helms making faces at me or at the jurors when she doesn’t hear me and gestures and this is all to my detriment. This is going to be a recurring issue, and if there is an appeal, there is going to be an issue with my ability to obtain the transcript from her. And I want that on the record, if it pleases the Court.
[11-21] The Court: All right. It’s on the record. And witnesses should not make faces. None of the participants should make facial reactions to anything in such a way as to cause a juror to form an opinion of any of the participants based on expressions made by anyone in the courtroom, be that person a court reporter, a judge, a law clerk, a bailiff, witness, anyone, spectator. Poker face, everyone, as to everything and we’ll follow that rule in this court. [¶] Okay. Now, with regard to the computers, they’re at the police department. You have the right to go there and get them.
[22] Ms. Weiss: Yes, Your Honor
So, "poker face, everyone" was the direct ORDER from Judge Clifton Newman.
Becky Hill should have known that but ADMITTED communication with the jurors at least with her eyes.
Strike one against Becky Hill.
And to commit these crimes after taking an oath speaks volumes about the evil that lives within. I am so glad to see the Murdaugh dynasty destroyed. The Murdaugh had a hold on the entire town.
@@robinsmith3987, not true! It is the hatred of the Murdaughs that has a hold on the entire town and apparently on YOU. Try love for the repentent.
Has Alex apologized to Maggie's family for murdering her and Paul @@marieassaad-faltas1299? Alex's family still stood by him despite his actions.
I’m from New Jersey and I just can’t get enough of Mr. Waters & Judge Newman! Absolutely compelling and fascinating! Thank you Fitznews for this coverage!
I’m from Melbourne- Australia. So well said, fascinating people to watch and Creighton is ruthless with his honesty and compelling to listen to. 💜😁. I’m a huge fan of FITZ, I think there are a few of us who now want honest representation in their news service regardless of where you live. Very refreshing.

What did he say? This is scary! In AM’s murder trial ,we heard that clients never raised an alarm because they believed AM, trusted him.

Absolutely!
No one else from my resign firm was running these scams. Outside audit done. Just or y n Russell. Money laundering n where the money went it up in air. My guess is gambling
So good to see this incredible lawyer in action again. I don't ever want to be on the receiving end of the stick with him. Great to see Judge Newman again as well. Thumbs up!
❤❤LOVE JUDGE NEWMAN❤❤
It would be lovely if Newman and Waters were at the highest levels of law and power in our nation's capital to get rid of the corruption there. We need more men and women who love justice and fights for JUSTICE.
Is this his opening argument.
I sure have missed Judge Newman and Creighton Waters, thanks “Fitsnews”
Me too! It's like seeing old friends again, watching these two in action.
@@thisisme3238❤❤ agree!!!
Me toooo!!
Did they both retire?
Creighton Waters/ judge Newman are THE BEST!! Such an awesome professional couple of men whom you could trust with your life! I absolutely love listening to this…. I’m a LAW NERD! Bless you both and TY for sharing and airing this!!
I totally AGREE ❗️
Thank you Fitsnews for televising this
Great to see SLED Agent David Owen sitting there! That poor man was treated despicably during Murderer Murdaugh's trial. He's getting the last laugh.
Agent Owens was not at his best when he testified at trial. His parent unexpectedly died a day or 2 before he testified. No one would be 100% that close to losing a parent.
@anniemars he had a car wreck after that trial and his little three year old daughter died I believe!
@@vernareed2692 I think it must be a different David Owen that you're talking about. If not please link your source:) His mother died the day before he gave evidence and he was treated appallingly by Murdaugh's disgusting attorney, who knew that, and he kicked him when he was down.
Their victims were poor, pathetic folks who trusted them and NEEDED that money. Every one of them were just hard working folks who had catastrophic things happen to them, and these lawyers stole their money - sickening. Thank God Mr Waters wasn't intimidated by Murdaugh and his family.
I agree. So disgusting. I believe when they pass on to another life, they will have to pay on their judgement day. They both should have to work at homeless food shelters and pantries. Our son volunteered from 16 years old till 20 years old at the Methodist church. Those people loved my so . My son was very humbled if he thought he was spoiled, he sure did not discriminate to anyone. And still doesn’t. We have told him to treat everyone fairly.
@greenbeagle and I don't know how much suspicion if any about how Gloria Satterfield was actually hurt!! There was some questions at one time I got out of it.
They were not pathetic! They were taken advantage by the pathetic attorneys! Because they are poor does not make them pathetic!
@@LonnieSipsyMD-ls6qk - I did not say that in a disrespectful tone. ✌
Man, I didn’t realize how much I missed Creighton Waters. #memories
I know. Me too. He is so awesome.

there both idiots corrupt
I could watch Creighton Waters all day. Love judge Newman
Too ✨💯✨🙂
@@laurellynn8496 me too❗️❤️
This man has ruined many peoples lives and eroded trust. He deserves more than a slap on the wrist and a few years in the federal system. He needs significant state jail time, followed by federal time. Not concurrent but consecutive sentences. Plus reimbursement of his victims. Justice for his victims.
Very well said I agree, they should lose everything. Laffitte looks cocky to me, the only remorse he feels is for himself. Fleming should certainly of received more jail time.
I think the law firm, made all the wrongs, right, to all their clients.
The look on Fleming's face is priceless! It screams "Damn! They figured out every last piece of my scam; not just some, not half, not 90%, but every single penny I stole and exactly how I stole it!" "I was hoping to be able to lie in my defense, but I guess I would look kinda stupid now"...
That's a fact! Ha! 🎉
OMG Dude, u just commented exactly what I was thinking!!!!Priceless!!! What a POS
He thought he was untouchable like his friend lawyer Alex
What did Fleming do again?
Mr Waters has fans in Australia. What a brilliant prosecutor. Bravo!
Where beer does flow and men chunder?

Hey Alec et al ... you better run, you better take cover ...
Thank you, Will, and everyone at Fitsnews.
Cory knew what he was doing. He was not a victim of Alex Murdaugh. 7 years is not enough.
It certainly isn’t enough. However he’s lost his right to practice law 🙏 We don’t need the likes of him in the court room, I’m sure there’s many others, biting their nails worried they too, could be exposed..
Luckily it’s up to 20
We need to change the law when an insurance company disbursed payments, the beneficiary has to be notified as well as his attorney to avoid this type of behavior. The insurance company never contacted the beneficiary.
The security check is supposed to be the judge/court overseeing the settlement. IMO The court overseeing the settlements allowed the attorneys to hide the settlements.
I totally agree---
@@North_West1 judge carmen mullen is 1 of the crooks
I think you nailed it. Laws need to change or new laws need to be enacted.
The ck should have had the beneficiary name on it also.
What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive! How these men thought they would never be caught is total ignorance! Totally blinded by greed!
If only they had integrity, none of this would have ever happened.
Yes. But look how long it took before they were caught. This probably goes on more than we are aware.

Before allowing them to speak at ANY sentencing, Judge Newman should ask Eric Bland and EVERY MEMBER of the Satterfield estate who got ANY MONEY from Bank of America and/or PMPED whether they have ANY PROOF that (1) AM's dog, Bourbon, caused Gloria Satterfield to fall at Moselle on 2 February 2018; (2) Gloria Satterfield was at Moselle on 2 Febraury 2018 for ANY purpose OTHER THAN working for AM and his family at Moselle; AND (3) Gloria Satterfield's death IN HOSPITAL on 26 February 2018 was due to that fall and NOT to her diabetis and coronary artery disease.
If they have NO PROOF OTHER THAN AM's now-recanted say-so to the insurance adjustor, then this whole charade should be shut down. The entirety of Corey Fleming's and Russell Laffitte's, and even AM's, prosecutions should be thrown out because infected with the participation of lawyer(s) with advantages to gain in civil litigation.
There just is no other way to enforce Rule 4.5 of the rules of lawyer conduct, WHICH ALSO APPLIES TO JUDGES WHO ARE LAWYERS, other than to throw out prosecutions infected with the participation of lawyers with advantages to gain in a civil matter. Just as there is no other way to enforce the prohibition against illegal searches and seizures other than to throw out the evidence obtained from such searches EVEN IF it means FEW guilty people walk.
In my own 22-26 February 2010 General Sessions jury trial (where thank God, I defended myself WITHOUT A LAWYER and the jury refused to convict me and ANOTHER judge later dismissed the false harassment charges against me WITH prejudice), none other than Judge Clifton Newman presided and heard DIRECTLY form the supposed "police investigator" who helped Hatchet-for-Hire Heather fabricate the false harassment charges against me that said investigator was in CONSTANT contact with several of the defendants in a civil suit I had brought, did NOT investigate any facts but took them as true because "Mr. Mason said so," and was receiving faxes and photos from THAT Mr. Mason's lawyer.
Yet, Judge Clifton Newman did NOTHING about that.
Judge Clifton Newman STILL does NOTHING about that EVEN after I presented him with transcripts comparing testimony and representations TO HIM in my trial with OFFICIAL transcripts and criminal records OBJECTIVELY DOCUMENTING that Hatchet-for-Hire Heather suborned 373 perjuries and forgeries and herself LIED about the criminal records of her witnesses, notably the criminal record of convicted-and-reconvicted durg dealer Cory/Corey Lamont Curry, who loudly threatened to rape me in my own parking lot and stood there grabbing his crotch at me and accosted me in my car with lewd gestures.
Judge Clifton Newman STILL does NOTHING about that and DID NOTHING to defend me, even after he complimented me ON THE TRANSCRIPT as "most pleasant and gracious" and "not frivolous at all, he DID NOTHING to defend me when Kaizar Kittredge, for corrupt reasons of his own, FALSELY castigated me as "frivolous and vexatious" all in order to force loser lawyers on me.
Judge Clifton Newman (who, BTW, is/was FaceBook friends with lawyers attempted to be forced on me) should believe that it is my compassion for him as a loving father that makes me say this TO him BEFORE History says it OF him:
Judge Clifton Newman, all those people fawning over you now because you (intentionally or not) satisfy their lust for blood will turn on you the moment you exercise any independent thinking. Heck, they will turn on you the moment you leave the bench. Then History will take a hard look at what you did AND WHAT YOU FAILED TO DO.
Sins of omission are as culpable as sins of commission. As a church-going person, Judge Clifton Newman should have read or heard the Epistle of St. James or should read it or re-reread it now.
Boy, did Waters do he’s home work on these two tossers.😉
@@SS11660I wonder if during murdaugh trial if Fleming was getting nervous about how close everything was to him?
Creighton Waters Still ON POINT!!!
MR. WATERS HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH ALL THE CASES. GOD BLESS JUDGE NEWMAN!
Waters taking them all down!!!💯💯
❤ YES, THANK YOU FitsNew for allowing us to watch this! 😊❤
Thank you for posting this.
You can clearly tell that Creighton isn't happy at all with how leniently Cory and Russel have been treated by the feds. He goes for it and that makes me love him even more. It's time to dismantle the good- old- boys club (hopefully including dodgy Judge Mullen) . Great to see Judge Newman too.
Russel probably isn’t sleeping well lately
So great to see these professional passionate stewards of Justice!! I can never get enough Judge Newman and Creighton Waters. So glad to see the evil doers get what they deserve.
To think that that little Corey was sitting in that interrogation room acting like a bad ass trying to protect Alex after killing his wife and son is absolutely disgusting!!!!! Corey Fleming you’re a horrible person!
Great point.
He’s wearing such a “snappy” shirt. I wonder who shops for him?!😮
@@barblane4020 it’s a whole jumpsuit!
@@TheRealLittleBiddleOne might even call his new daytime wear a *Onesie* Ideal for all those outdoor play dates with -class- cell mates he has coming up! 😂😂😂
@@major_thomasinaunfortunately he’s looking forward to prison because its a whole lot better environment than county jail where I’m from, depending how small a county I guess it might not be that bad I have zero knowledge of jail in So Carolina I just realized, but if its near the same life becomes much better in prison and the sooner the better and he already signed a deal I believe so he knows he’s going regardless imo. Chances are he gets a fair sentence from this judge, because w/o him this whole fiasco might’ve turned out so much different thank goodness for this judge, the rest involved will surely see one another in hell.
Prosecutor Attorney Waters is such a great and awesome Attorney! I feel he hits a home run every time!🎉
Loved the look F gave after W talked about him being the dumbest person on earth 😆
Yep his eyebrow went up.
Corey Fleming is a grown man for goodness sakes and made a choice. Don’t blame his demise on Murdaugh! It’s all about about one thing…..It’s called GREED! He knew what he was doing was wrong! My heart breaks for his wife and children who will suffer much because of his selfish greed!
I agree except with the man part a real man doesn't steal from his clients
I have no sympathy for his wife or children, they enjoyed the stolen money together. Living in a house that is too expensive for you to pay for except you steal, or living an expensive lifestyle on another person's money is not acceptable. The poor boys of the housekeeper lost their mom and compensation. Too much greed. Out of almost 4 million, you couldn't even give the poor boys 2 hundred thousand. Wow. This is more than greed but wickedness. They just couldn't imagine those boys have an easy life for a second.
They all profited from the money. They didn't ask any questions.
@sharonscain7673 In a marriage or in a relationship, you talk about money, and salary. The question, where did you get that much money from, is self-evident. If the spouse does not question, she/he becomes an accomplice. Mrs. Fleming profited from the defrauded money just like her husband Cory fleming. The only victims in all of this are the victims of Alex Murdaugh and the children of Cory Fleming if they are minors!
@@onyourcoffeebreak2476I agree no sympathy what so ever. They lived the high life alright, lived off other people’s money, shame on them. I hope these poor boys are compensated. They lost their mother, money they needed, and rightly deserved.
Cory isn’t as cocky as he was when Alex was being interviewed by SLED and HE needed to know if they were there to get information or was Alex a suspect? !!!!
LOL I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one to pick up on that…and then I saw your comment. LAMO yeah all his cockiness has flown out the window.
Thanks so much for posting. It never fails to amaze me how long cases can be delayed before they actually get on with it, and with Lafitte how long sentencing can be delayed even after conviction.
Each case has to "go through the process" to get on the dockets...courts are usually jam packed with cases too

EXACTLY! Corey went in and was like, yup, let's start this now and gave up to law enforcement right there in the courtroom. Russell Laffitte, absolutely shame, an SC embarrassment! STULL trying to hold out doing time. Nevermind ALL the evidence. I'm just saying, Corey actually seems remorseful. Granite, it might be bc he screwed up his entire life and his family's, but, he is not really fighinghting it, he is trying to take his licks the best way he knows how. Russell, LOST CAUSE!!!
This is like the Oscars, but for Lowcountry scumbags and I can't look away. Go get 'em Creighton! #BCE
Mr Waters ❤ much respect sir 🫡
I've watched Judge Newman doing several trials and can honestly say he is the best judge I've ever seen ..we need more like this guy in courts 👌
What trials were they ?
The sheer disgust Creighton Waters holds for Murdaugh, Fleming etc, as men of his profession, is palpable.
Thank you Mr. Waters for standing up for The People. We are tired, we are so, so tired.
Me too… to the very edge! Tired!
His Wonderful Honor, Judge Newman and Creight the Great at it again!👏👏👏⚖💙
Sled Owen sitting right behind him remembering the conversation with Alex in the interview when Corey was all up on him 😮😂
Thankyou Mr.Waters for all of your hard work on this case.I have watched it all from the beginning.

Well, Mr. Laffitte can go sit in prison while he waits for you Mr defense attorney to get available to do trial. That sounds fair to me.
Mr waters is a very good person. They have the right person for this court room he knows his job😊
As I'm listening to Mr. Waters, I don't see Cory having a defense to these charges, it's all there in black and white!
He is not putting up a defense. He is pleading guilty.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this available Fitsnews.
Listening to the actions of these greedy bastards makes me sick to my stomach. That’s the perfect print on his shirt to prepare for where he’s going. Shameful. Thanks Fitsnews for streaming this.
This Prosecutor is badass.
Is it weird that I’m glad to see Creighton Waters back in action with Judge Newman? Like seeing old friends after being away fñ
Not at all…Waters and Newman are “comfort food” for LawNerds. The morning after M was convicted I awoke with such peace. Good to be able to see them back in action.
Imagine just how many others are running these frauds on the same level.
I love FIT NEWS! Always on top of these cases. Thank you all!!
Mr. Waters ! Judge Newman! ❤️
this is the content we want. crystal clear raw footage.
It disgusts me to my core how greedy & heartless these men were. Murdaugh & all his cronies deserve everything they get.
Subscribed because of the coverage of anything “murderer murdauch and company” related. Thank you for posting this Fitsnews. Good to see the truth brought to light and hopefully justice to continue regarding all of this vile corruption and abuse. A great bonus ( or more importantly)is listening to Listening to Mr Waters is and the rulings of the moral, ethical and kind Judge Newman.
Where are the righteous lawyers out there? There is a Girardi lawyer in Los Angeles accused of the same thing. Anyone with a case with any lawyer handling money for them needs to call and get an accountant check the records.
Thank you for editing out the breaks, FITSNEWS!!
Put him back in jail for the rest of his life he knew what he’s was doing to those kids.

Watching justice being done and the greedy guilty getting exposed is a fine thing.
Just amazing how crooked these Attorneys are. Glad they were busted.
Thanks for showing this
Mr waters
You are a good man
God Bless you and your life’s work. Well done good and faithful servant
Creighton Waters explained this evidence so well that the average person, like me can understand it. He's so impressive, but after watching the Murdaugh trial that's not surprising.
So many more lawyers, judges, mayor's and lobbiest to come. If they do the right thing!
Yep! I believe you’re right.
If
This judge is the best, he sees right through bad people that take advantage of people that don't know how the legal system works.
84 months, that’s it??!! That’s BS! He should have gotten way more! WTF!
He hasn’t been sentenced yet, no?
I might be wrong but I don’t think he’s been sentenced yet. If that’s right he may very well get a lot more. I say that because I think to everyone in that judicial system there in South Carolina there is a serious pattern coming to light…I think Waters and Newman are convinced these crimes go a lot deeper than just Alex Murdaugh and Corey Fleming. There will be more to follow so the “sentencing” needs to be long term for Fleming to set a precedent for those that come later.
Amen, what a nasty greedy man. He should be ashamed
Makes you wonder how long this corruption has been going on. I hope the murdaugh family all get investigated. Every last one of them. Good job Mr waters and judge Newman for bringing justice for the people of sc
Thank you FitsNews 😊
Thank you @FITSNEWS!
Mr. Waters also plays a mean guitar. That man can do it all.
Cory has aged 20 yrs in a short amount of time!
For what he's done to these people I hope he lives to be 125 if he gets enough time to keep him in prison that long

Shame on him!
The ladies from murdaugh podcast had him figured out ages ago!
They started this whole thing!

If they have NO PROOF OTHER THAN AM's now-recanted say-so to the insurance adjustor, then this whole charade should be shut down. The entirety of Corey Fleming's and Russell Laffitte's, and even AM's, prosecutions should be thrown out because infected with the participation of lawyer(s) with advantages to gain in civil litigation.
There just is no other way to enforce Rule 4.5 of the rules of lawyer conduct, WHICH ALSO APPLIES TO JUDGES WHO ARE LAWYERS, other than to throw out prosecutions infected with the participation of lawyers with advantages to gain in a civil matter. Just as there is no other way to enforce the prohibition against illegal searches and seizures other than to throw out the evidence obtained from such searches EVEN IF it means FEW guilty people walk.
In my own 22-26 February 2010 General Sessions jury trial (where thank God, I defended myself WITHOUT A LAWYER and the jury refused to convict me and ANOTHER judge later dismissed the false harassment charges against me WITH prejudice), none other than Judge Clifton Newman presided and heard DIRECTLY form the supposed "police investigator" who helped Hatchet-for-Hire Heather fabricate the false harassment charges against me that said investigator was in CONSTANT contact with several of the defendants in a civil suit I had brought, did NOT investigate any facts but took them as true because "Mr. Mason said so," and was receiving faxes and photos from THAT Mr. Mason's lawyer.
Yet, Judge Clifton Newman did NOTHING about that.
Judge Clifton Newman STILL does NOTHING about that EVEN after I presented him with transcripts comparing testimony and representations TO HIM in my trial with OFFICIAL transcripts and criminal records OBJECTIVELY DOCUMENTING that Hatchet-for-Hire Heather suborned 373 perjuries and forgeries and herself LIED about the criminal records of her witnesses, notably the criminal record of convicted-and-reconvicted durg dealer Cory/Corey Lamont Curry, who loudly threatened to rape me in my own parking lot and stood there grabbing his crotch at me and accosted me in my car with lewd gestures.
Judge Clifton Newman STILL does NOTHING about that and DID NOTHING to defend me, even after he complimented me ON THE TRANSCRIPT as "most pleasant and gracious" and "not frivolous at all, he DID NOTHING to defend me when Kaizar Kittredge, for corrupt reasons of his own, FALSELY castigated me as "frivolous and vexatious" all in order to force loser lawyers on me.
Judge Clifton Newman (who, BTW, is/was FaceBook friends with lawyers attempted to be forced on me) should believe that it is my compassion for him as a loving father that makes me say this TO him BEFORE History says it OF him:
Judge Clifton Newman, all those people fawning over you now because you (intentionally or not) satisfy their lust for blood will turn on you the moment you exercise any independent thinking. Heck, they will turn on you the moment you leave the bench. Then History will take a hard look at what you did AND WHAT YOU FAILED TO DO.
Sins of omission are as culpable as sins of commission. As a church-going person, Judge Clifton Newman should have read or heard the Epistle of St. James or should read it or re-reread it now.
I bet you that there are plenty of other attorneys that are stealing from their client right now as well
Thanks for this 🇬🇧
This man made AM's lawyers look like first year lawyers.
Thank you FitsNews! Watching from Puyallup Washington!
These are my two favorite men! Love both Judge Newman and Creighton Waters!
Russell is too scared to go before Judge Newman.
I could watch Prosecutor Waters in court day in and day out. He is excellent! And who doesn't love Judge Newman!!!
Don’t you just love that dynamic duo of the Honorable Judge Newman and Attorney Mr. Waters?! Both reminds me of the legal system players only read in a John Grisham novel! Love it!!
My favorite Judge and favorite attorney back together again.
I'm not a lawyer but find these cases absolutely fascinating. How could they
steal from the very people he knew..and knew well.. ? There are no words.
Such a surprise: algoritme put your channel on my YT homepage and I was watching again DA Waters in a Murdaugh related case! I was immediately drawn into this hearing! And so nice to see Fleming and Lafitte in their position of defendants!! I immediately subscribed your channel! 🙋♀️from The Netherlands🇳🇱
I’m like Judge Newman, “What boat?”
I’m sure the judge always wanted a boat but being a honest man held him back lol
Certainly makes personal injury trial lawyers look bad.
