Alex Murdaugh sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife, son

Less than 24-hours after a South Carolina jury convicted him of murdering his wife and 22-year old son, former attorney Alex Murdaugh learned his fate: On Friday, a judge in South Carolina sentenced Murdaugh to life in prison without parole.

Through more than 75 witnesses and nearly 800 pieces of evidence, jurors heard about betrayed friends and clients, Murdaugh’s failed attempt to stage his own death in an insurance fraud scheme, a fatal boat crash in which his son was implicated, the housekeeper who died in a fall in the Murdaugh home, the grisly scene of the killings and Bubba, the chicken-snatching dog.

The jury deliberated for less than three hours before finding Murdaugh guilty of two counts of murder at the end of a six-week trial.
