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.
Prosecutors indicated in earlier court filings that they will ask for a life sentence to finally hold Murdaugh responsible for what they say are decades of lying, stealing and using his family's considerable clout in their tiny county to his advantage. Any sentence would have no chance of parole.
