causes concern, yeah. i do think one of the great things about this, this is not justice for maggie, this is not justice for the s son. none of these can bring anybody back, so anybody talk about justice for the victims, that is not how this works. the people, what this does it takes a foot off the throat of the justice in colleton and hampton county. now we can maybe see what happens when we have checks and balances stopping unbridled power. this is what happens whenever you have an insular part of the world, anywhere in the world not just the south and you have no checks and balances and unbridled power. finally the throw is going to be taken off of justice and not part of the world and i hope everybody that lives there has a better life going forward
you looking at life pictures, that is alex murdaugh waiting for the verdict, the jury has a verdict in this case. this is life what you re watching judge newman is presiding and asked the jury to come in which is happening elsewhere in this room and you looking alex murdaugh awaiting news of his fate, four felony counts, to further murder of his wife maggie and son paul. convicted the minimum sentence would be 30 years to life. the indicated they will not go for the death penalty. thank you if you will stand for me. have you reached a verdict? yes, sir we have. is it unanimous. yes it is. if you will pass it up. to the clerk who will pass it to me. and you may be seated.

nine months after paul and maggie were killed i was struck by the lack of a motion by alex murdaugh he sort of nodded his head stared straight face. i wrote it down he was shaking straight face as he listened to that he did not look back at his family or buster his son that something we seen him do the entire trial he said moments where he s incredibly emotional, shaking, crying, making sound throughout this entire trial and there was nothing there from them as he was found guilty of killing maggie and paul. the judge talked about the amount of evidence that the amount of witnesses, you said this more than 70 witnesses, six weeks this was supposed to be a three-week trial and we had roughly three hours of deliberation after they sat through that for nearly six weeks listening to graphic testimony. sometimes extremely difficult to understand testimony about cell
