Alex Murdaugh, the disgraced South Carolina attorney found guilty in the murders of his 22-year-old son Paul and his wife Maggie, has been sentenced to life in prison.
Murdaugh’s sentencing in Judge Clifton Newman’s court came little more than 12 hours after the 54-year-old disbarred lawyer was found guilty on two counts of murder in the June 2021 killings, as well as two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
