Disbarred South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh was found guilty on all counts in the brutal double homicide of his wife and son in Colleton County on Thursday evening. After less than three hours of deliberations, twelve jurors returned the unanimous murder verdicts – along with two guilty verdicts on associated weapons charges.

Murdaugh will be sentenced today by S.C. circuit court judge Clifton Newman – who is expected to impose back-to-back life sentences on the two murder charges and additional years behind bars on the two weapons charges. Upon being sentenced, Murdaugh will be transferred at some point to the custody of the S.C. Department of Corrections (SCDC).

Murdaugh will be handcuffed, shackled and dressed in prison garb upon his arrival at the Colleton County courthouse on Friday – representing a stark visual departure from his appearance over the past six weeks in jackets, dress shirts and slacks.

Why the change? Because as of 7:07 p.m. EST, on March 2, 2023, Murdaugh is a convicted murderer … not an accused killer.

Twenty-one months ago at Moselle, Murdaugh killed his wife, 52-year-old Maggie Murdaugh, and youngest son, 22-year-old Paul Murdaugh on June 7, 2021. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and for the last six weeks has been standing trial in Walterboro – part of the Lowcountry region of the Palmetto State which his famous family ruled like a fiefdom for more than a century.
