Disgraced former attorney and convicted family killer Alex Murdaugh's attorneys have filed a notice of appeal in his double-murder trial exactly one week after he was found guilty of murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul.
Judge Clifton Newman sentenced Murdaugh to two consecutive life terms in prison.
In a press conference following the sentencing, Murdaugh's lawyers, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin stated that they planned to appeal the case to the highest level in both state and federal courts.
