The trial spanned 5 weeks and the Netflix documentary<\/a> lasted 3 hours, but it took jurors only 45-minutes to unanimously convict Alex Murdaugh of murder, found guilty on all counts (two counts of murder, two counts of possession of a weapon in the commitment of violent crime).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case centered around the deaths of Alex Murdaugh’s wife and son, Margaret (52) and Paul (22), who were found dead from multiple gunshot wounds at the family’s hunting compound, near the dog kennels. Murdaugh called 911 to report the murders and said he had been napping, but a Snapchat video from his son’s cell phone place him at the scene of the crime within minutes of when it occurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After admitting to investigators that he lied and blaming “paranoid thinking” from an addiction to pain killers, Murdaugh maintained his innocence. Prosecutors argued the murders were meant to distract from Murdaugh’s collapsing financial crimes: he faces 100+ additional charges, such as money laundering, for allegations in connection with his law firm. Murdaugh admits to swindling his partners and clients, and prosecutors claim the murders were meant to gain sympathy and delay his impending doom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Murdaugh family name is powerful in their rural area- at least it was. Discussion swirling around the heart of this case is how money, power, and connections can get and keep you out of trouble. In this case, Alex Murdaugh tried to stretch his privilege a few steps too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Alex Murdaugh didn’t kill Maggie and Paul, who did?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When questioned under oath, Alex Murdaugh said he believes the murders were in connection with a 2019 boat accident that claimed the life of Mallory Beach. His son Paul was at the captain’s wheel. The incident is at the heart of “The Murdaugh Murders” Netflix series and Murdaugh blamed the vile social media feedback for fueling the motive of the “real” killers- whoever they are…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Mallory Beach, she died the night Paul Murdaugh drove his boat drunk and crashed. That led to police & lawyers to investigate the Murdaugh family. Without her Alex Murdaugh would have prob gotten away with all of his crimes. Remember her. pic.twitter.com\/2HpB7UVOea<\/a><\/p>— Austin (@AustinPlanet) March 3, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
