For maybe the last time, Alex Murdaugh will shuffle into a courtroom in South Carolina and wait for a judge to punish him.

Mr. Murdaugh is scheduled to be sentenced Monday morning in federal court for stealing from clients and his law firm. The 55-year-old disbarred attorney is already serving a life sentence without parole in a state prison for killing his wife and son.
