Sure didn’t take them long to come up with that verdict! The judge congratulated the jurors for reaching the correct verdict in the face of overwhelming evidence. Not quite sure I have ever heard a judge say that after a verdict.
I’ve never heard that from a judge, either. The evidence seemed strong and the entire story is pure Southern Gothic, haunting and dark.
I was looking at the photos of the property and kennels- it’s just eerie and bleak. It’s easy to imagine a double murder there.
The South Carolina House of Murdaugh has fallen.
I haven’t been able to follow every second of this trial, but… Right now I am about one hour south of Walterboro, SC. There are quite a few people around here who know the Murdaugh family personally and/or they have been able to follow this trial more closely than I have.
They all say Alex Murdaugh is as guilty as sin of the murder of his wife and son. Justice has been served.
