| Alex Murdaugh and family linked to three further mysterious deaths |
| 2023-03-04 |
| [NYP] Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh started his life in prison for killing his wife and son on Friday, but mystery and scandal continues to swirl around the remains of his family, a prominent legal dynasty that had a lot of influence in the area. Less than 24 hours after he was convicted on two counts of murder, Murdaugh, 54, appeared for sentencing at Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina, on Friday, cuffed and wearing a khaki prison jumpsuit — a stark representation of how far he had fallen from his former high-flying life. "Everyone knows [the Murdaughs], and in addition to that, they had a lot of influence here," former friend John Wright said of the family, which had reigned over the Low Country’s legal system for more than a century. "I thought the jury might be more reticent or fearful about convicting [Alex]." "No problem. He ain't Hillary" Related: Alex Murdaugh: 2022-07-13 Former SC Attorney To be Charged With Murder Of Wife And Son...

| #9 Gutfeld commented on how he believed it was wrong for the judge during sentencing to say that Murdaugh probably didn't kill him but the monster he became with taking drugs probably did. I agree don't blame it on drugs, Murdaugh was a monster through and through, he hid it well with his lies. He should have gotten the death penalty IMO |

| #8 #4 Crisp hand salute to the judge and jury. Certainly restores a degree of hope in our legal system. I gather you did not watch the trial then, he may well be guilty but this charade (especially the judge) failed to reach beyond a reasonable doubt. |

| #7 What? A political donation to the Clintons not a get out of jail free card? I'm flabbergasted. |

| #5 That's a business, there, that you can't excel in without making plenty of enemies. That said, it seems he did the crime, so conviction was the right answer. |

| #3 So we are supposed to care about this scumbag because he comes from a "prominent legal dynasty"? I didn't even know about this worm until recently, and my first thought was, here we go again, another "high viz" court case out of So. Cal. being rammed down our throats by the sensationalist media. |
