Murdaugh attorneys claim the polygraph examiner engaged in 'odd conduct' before administering an exam.
, violating the deal, which required his truthfulness, federal prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday.
The revelation of the failed polygraph test comes days before Murdaugh's federal sentencing hearing, scheduled for Monday, April 1. He pleaded guilty in September to 22 charges of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering. Each carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 or 30 years in prison, federal prosecutors said previously.
The government's filing indicates the examination was conducted "on issues related to hidden assets and the involvement of another attorney in Murdaugh's criminal conduct." Attorneys also say the examiner was "'secretly' confiding" in Murdaugh that he had just returned from performing a polygraph examination related to the murder of Natalee Holloway.
