Rapid end of a dramatic process: Alex Murdaugh has been found guilty. The procedure has kept the country in suspense – also because history shows human abysses.
Alex Murdaugh following his conviction on all four counts at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina, on March 2, 2023.
He didn’t change his expression. When 64-year-old Alex Murdaugh was told Thursday in a courtroom in Walterboro, South Carolina that he may face the rest of his life behind bars, he appeared unmoved. Perhaps the former attorney charged with the brutal murder of his longtime wife Maggie, 52, and their son Paul, 22, knew the jury would find him guilty on all four counts. It took the jury just three hours to come to a unanimous decision.
