Two consecutive life sentences. Shit man, I'd rather get the firing squad. But this narcissistic prick probably gets some twisted satisfaction knowing he'll be draining the resources of society for the next 30 or 40 years.
Continued to claim innocence right to the end. Probably just a weak attempt to insult the jury and the system. Or perhaps he envisions some kind of appeal, but legal experts are already speculating there's no chance of that.
The judge dressed him down at the sentencing hearing, I agree with the judge
Hopefully he sees his family every night when he tries to sleep
That scumbag got what he deserved
I didn’t watch the trial but had read the news coverage when it first happened. At least one juror is telling the press that what sealed it was Murdaugh denying it for months that it was his voice on a cell phone video taken by his son moments before he was killed, which put Murdaugh at the scene. Juror said when they played the video in court, they knew it was Murdaugh. When Murdaugh later took the stand (always a sign of a Hail Mary when the defendant testifies) Murdaugh admitted it was his voice. Juror said he came off as a liar who was caught and that he showed no remorse. Throw away the key.
I only just realized Murdaugh is the guy who, a couple years ago, hired a would-be hitman to kill him so his son could collect on a big life insurance policy. I remember hearing about that but didn't know it was the same guy. Anyway he was only grazed with the bullet, and then it got worse for him when the plot was uncovered. Lol
