Alex Murdaugh convicted for murdering wife Maggie and son Paul

Disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh was found guilty of the grisly 2021 murders of his wife and son Thursday evening at Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro.

As the jury reconvened at 7 p.m. local time —after just three hours of deliberations —Murdaugh sat ashen-faced in the stand. The foreman announced they had reached a unanimous verdict, which they passed to judge Clifton Newman.
