Disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to consecutive life sentences a day after being found guilty of the murder of his wife and youngest son.
Alex Murdaugh, the disgraced South Carolina attorney on trial for allegedly shooting his wife and son, admitted Thursday under oath that he had repeatedly lied to authorities, swindled clients out of millions of dollars, and asked a distant relative to shoot him in the head as part of an elaborate scheme that would enable his eldest son to collect life insurance.
