The crash, in which a 19-year-old woman was killed, brought scrutiny to Alex Murdaugh and his family. He was later convicted of murdering his wife and son.
In 2019, 19-year-old Mallory Beach died in a boating accident in Beaufort County, South Carolina when authorities said Paul Murdaugh had been at the wheel.
The verdict came less than three hours after jurors began deliberating. It followed a six-week trial that served as a reckoning for Mr. Murdaugh, a lawyer whose life unraveled in recent years.
