Former Lawyer Alex Murdaugh Found Guilty of Murdering His Wife and Son in South Carolina After Quick Jury Decision

Alex Murdaugh, a former lawyer, has been found guilty of murdering his wife and son in Islandton, South Carolina in 2021. The jury took less than three hours to reach their verdict, which shocked CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said that Murdaugh taking the stand himself was a "fatal" move for him, and that the jury's quick decision was a testament to the strength of the prosecution's case. Murdaugh's conviction marks the end of a tragic case and shows that justice has been served.
