Alex Murdaugh found guilty of murdering his wife and son

Alex Murdaugh found guilty of murdering his wife and son. After deliberating for less than three hours Thursday, the jury in the double murder trial of Alex Murdaugh found him guilty of murdering his wife and son, the grisliest and most severe of the allegations faced by the disgraced former South Carolina attorney. Murdaugh, the 54-year-old scion of a prominent and powerful family of local lawyers and solicitors, was also found guilty of two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in the killings of Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh on June 7, 2021. Prosecutors have indicated they will seek life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murders, sparing him the death penalty. Judge Clifton Newman set sentencing for Friday at 9:30 a.m. Murdaugh kept a stony face while the verdicts were read. His only remaining son, Buster Murdaugh, could be seen wiping tears from his eyes. Murdaugh appeared to mouth “I love you” to Buster as he was being placed in handcuffs. alex murdaugh,alex murdaugh guilty,murdaugh murders,alex murdaugh trial,murdaugh trial,was alex murdaugh found guilty,did alex murdaugh kill his wife and son,paul murdaugh,maggie murdaugh,murdaugh guilty,alex murdaugh murder trial,murdaugh,murdaugh murder trial,alex murdaugh live,alex murdaugh verdict,murdaugh trial live stream,alex murdaugh found guilty,murdaugh family,will alex murdaugh be found guilty,murdaugh live stream,murdaugh live
