Prosecutors indicated in earlier court filings that they will ask for a life sentence to hold Murdaugh responsible
South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh will be back in a courtroom Friday, this time facing the judge as a convicted murderer looking at 30 years to life in prison for killing his wife and son.
Instead of the dress shirt and sport coat he wore through the six-week trial, the attorney who made millions suing big companies on behalf of people injured in wrecks arrived at court in a jail jumpsuit the day after he was convicted of two counts of murder. The juror agreed with prosecutors that the key piece of evidence was a video locked on his son’s cellphone for a year – video shot minutes before the killings at the same kennels near where the bodies would be found.
Murdaugh’s sister-in-law testified they were all close. Alex Murdaugh went on vacation with them in the months after the killings.
