Lawyer Alex Murdaugh will be back in a courtroom on Friday, this time facing the judge as a convicted murderer looking at 30 years to life in prison for killing his wife and son.
Prosecutors indicated in earlier court filings that they will ask for a life sentence to finally hold Murdaugh responsible for what they say are decades of lying, stealing and using his family’s considerable clout in their tiny county to his advantage.
Any sentence would have no chance of parole.
As Alex Murdaugh stands before a judge to learn his fate, he will be in same courtroom on the circuit his father, grandfather and great-grandfather tried cases as the elected prosecutor for more than 80 years.
