BREAKING: Alex Murdaugh verdict read in South Carolina court

Alex Murdaugh was convicted in the double murder of his wife and son Thursday after a very short period of jury deliberation.

Murdaugh did not appear to displace any emotion during his guilty verdict reading. He was found guilty on all counts, including the double murder of his wife and son. #murdaughmurders #alexmurdaugh #alexmurdaughtrial

No reaction to the verdict. He already knew

[chrissysolorio]

That was beyond quick! No doubt about their judgment.

[katsandcounting]

Finally a rich person is held accountable.

[Fuzzle]

He denied being there until his dead son's phone proved he was talking to his wife nearby minutes before they were killed. Then he has the gall to say he didn't do it? 🙄

[elsalujan]

His luck finally ran out. He always thought he was above the law. His entire family did

[verkpunk]

I know he's gonna fight this for the rest of his life but it would be cool if he just gave us the reason why and maybe gave us details on the housekeeper and the other kid that died, if he, Maggie or Paul was involved.

Very sad situation. Thankfully the jury did their job.

[alyssawoods]

The guy had his own issues but I can't help but feel bad for Buster. Mother and brother murdered and now his father is going to prison for life. I can't imagine.

[JerseyNig]

He blinked his eyes more times in 3 minutes then I did in the last week 😂😂😂😂😂

[kfu]

He knew he did it. No emotions. Stone cold killer

[mathsensei]

He really messed up his life. Killed his wife, son, and has to sit in a prison cell for the rest of his life thinking about it

[misterp]

South Carolina Rocks. Thanks for the common sense and not buying the BS. You guys are the best!!!

[Pledgeman]

You can’t dispute facts. You can only attempt to offer alternate reasons but in the end, facts don’t lie, but people do.

[dreww]

What a sad case. Praying for all involved.

[brandistar]

Jury wasted no time with a swift conviction. To be expected!

[mantan]

Wow, I thought some of the charges would be NOT Guilty. I have a little bit more faith in the criminal justice system.

[SM-nuxl]

There will definitely be an appeal. I don't think this is the end of this.

[gary_neilson]

Worst verdict reading I have ever heard.

[Maryanami]

everything that goes up goes down, the game that he had is over, he finished with his family and will live out the time that remains locked up in jail, he will no longer have luxuries or his beloved prestige, I hope he finds peace and forgiveness for all the damage he did, and buster still believe his father father is innocent of the murder charge?

[theterminator]

Now he can sit in jail and give legal advice to other killers
