COLUMBIA, S.C.—A judge revoked house arrest Thursday for the man authorities say agreed to kill disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh so he could get a life insurance settlement for Murdaugh’s son but ended up just grazing his head with a bullet.
The decision by Circuit Judge Clifton Newman revoking bond and requiring Curtis “Eddie” Smith to await trial in jail involves a new set of charges linked to Murdaugh—allegations that Smith helped the disbarred attorney with a drug and $2.4 million money laundering ring.
