The 54-year-old was charged in two counts of homicide toward the finish of a six-week preliminary
In front of his condemning on Friday, Alex Murdaugh gave his last assertion in court, again saying he didn’t kill his significant other and child.
“I’m blameless. I could never hurt my significant other Maggie. Furthermore, I could never hurt my child Paul,” he told the appointed authority Friday.
The jury pondered for under three hours prior to indicting the 54-year-old of two counts of homicide toward the finish of a six-week preliminary. He was subsequently given two life sentences.
Maggie and her child were taken shots at short proximity close to the canine pet hotels on their family domain on June 7, 2021.

“This is exceptionally confounded, and I need to give my sympathies to the family that has experienced here,” Examiner Creighton Waters said. “The truth remains is that notwithstanding this consideration, this case is about Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh, and I’m grateful to such an extent that the legal hearers gave them a voice.”
Judge Clifton Newman said Murdaugh’s homicide conviction meets all requirements for capital punishment.
“I don’t address at all the choice of the state not to seek after capital punishment. Yet, as I stay here in this court and glance around at the numerous pictures of judges and other court authorities and consider the way that over the course of the last hundred years, your family — including you — have been arraigning individuals here in this court, and many have gotten capital punishment, presumably for lesser lead,” Newman said.
