A GoFundMe campaign started on behalf of a prosecution witness in the Alex Murdaugh family murder case sparked a dispute in the middle of the disgraced South Carolina lawyer’s trial on Thursday.
The fundraiser was meant to reward Mushell “Shelley” Smith—who was the caretaker over Murdaugh’s mother—“for her bravery” in taking the stand earlier this week to testify about seeing the defendant after he allegedly murdered his wife and son in 2021.
Prosecutors allege that the death of Beach while on a boat with Murdaugh’s son Paul was the precipitating event in the family’s twisted crime saga. Tinsley was not the only person to donate to Smith’s GoFundMe. As of Thursday afternoon, the campaign has raised over $9,950 from 247 donors. Smith’s children and Tinsley did not respond to a request for comment about the GoFundMe from The Daily Beast. Smith, reached by phone, said only that “it was wild” before hanging up.
