Alex Murdaugh Juror Tells All — How Jury Knew Disgraced Lawyer Killed Family

A 22-year-old construction manager served as one of the 12 jurors who found Alex Murdaugh guilty of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, after deliberating for less than three hours. James, who asked that his last name be withheld, spoke to the Law&Crime Network's Angenette Levy about the kennel video, how prayer played a role in the trial, whether Alex Murdaugh's testimony mattered, and more.

NOTE: James' brother is a Colleton County sheriff's deputy who responded to Moselle the night of the murders but was not involved in the investigation. James said both the state and the defense were aware of his brother's employment and approved of him being on the jury.

This man has to be the most ideal juror. He's smart, open minded, level headed, and patient. I love how some people take on the duty of being on a jury with the seriousness and gravity it deserves.

To whoever raised this honest, intelligent, articulate, thoughtful human being, thank you!

[yvonnelewis]

This juror is very mature and insightful. The fact that he would not allow himself to form an opinion until he had all of the information is commendable and very just. This whole jury strikes me this way. They took their responsibility very seriously, I’ve been very impressed with every one of them. We need a lot more people like these jurors in our country.

[ardithmaclean]

The "character" & maturity that this young man displays would make any parent proud to call him "son". Great dedication to service and doing due diligence.

[wendystrauss]

This is an outstanding interview. This young man took his responsibility as a juror very seriously and articulated his experience so well. His description of how the jury worked together, even praying for guidance together, was so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this and allowing us a little peek inside the jury room of this landmark trial.

[cynthiacatherinehoward]

What a great interview with this juror. I can’t help thinking that his life is forever changed by everything he had to see regarding such a gruesome crime scene with someone his own age. Bless him.

[NurseDom]

This guy is about as well-spoken as you’re going to find for a 22 year old young man. Well done.

[rebeccagilstrap]

This young man is a wonderful communicator and seems to be an all around good guy. He gave me tremendous confidence in our justice system as far as having a jury of our peers. His parents have to be so proud.

[Derbonne]

Proud of this 22 year old! Your parents must be very proud. Thank you for your service.

[DavidHBurkart]

I have sat on four juries in my 61 years of life & was about this young man's age when I sat on my first trial. His perspective and articulation is excatly what you want from your fellow jurors. Well done Sir, much respect from here.

[sarahallenhumboldt]

We are fortunate to have had several intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated, and responsible people on that jury; thank you for your valuable service, and your sacrifice, James.

[tb-ik]

THANK YOU James. You are a gem of a man. Things are so discouragingly corrupt & out of control all around us ~but…listening to you brought me some calm, hopefulness and reassurance that there are truly good, honest, intelligent, thoughtful decent people among us. May God richly bless you and your fellow jurors in everything you do.

[Qwerty-mczi]

Wow, I am floored by this young man. To echo everyone's thoughts, he is so poised and articulate and humble. It gives me a lot of hope for the future to see someone like this at 22. I wish him all the very best.
