The judge who presided over Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial has broken his silence for the first time since he sentenced the killer to life in prison.
Judge Clifton Newman spoke out about the high-profile trial during an event at Cleveland State University College of Law on Tuesday, saying that he still believes the disgraced attorney did “love” his wife Maggie and son Paul – but that he carried out an “unforgiveable” act by gunning them down that fateful night in the summer of 2021.
