Movies Disgraced Lawyer Alex Murdaugh GUILTY of Killing Wife & Son

Assassination Attempt and Murder Investigations: Irish American Lawyer’s Wife was Researching Divorce

A new report claims murdered Alex Murdaughs' wife had met with a Charleston lawyer to discuss divorce.


Irish Central 2 OCT 2021.








Police have not released a suspect or motive, however, they are investigating the unsolved murder of the South Carolina lawyer's wife and son, which took place just two months before his own self-made botched assassination attempt and insurance fraud.


Police are investigating the unsolved murder of Paul (22) and Maggie (52) Murdaugh, following the botched self-made assassination attempt carried out by husband and father, Alex (53), addicted to opioids. The South Caroline heir was trying to leave a life insurance fortune for their remaining son, Buster. Now People.com has reported that Maggie had met with a divorce lawyer six weeks before she and her son were shot and killed in June 2021.

Paul and Maggie were shot and killed outside the family's hunting lodge in Colleton County, South Carolina. Previously the mysterious shooting, in June 2021, was believed to be connected to a court case in which Paul was involved. Now it has been revealed that six weeks before the shooting Maggie had met with a diverse lawyer.

Alex Murdaugh, a previously prominent Irihs American South Carolina lawyer, has admitted that in September he had attempted to stage his own murder with the aim of getting his other son, Buster, a $10 million life insurance payout. He was shot by a hired assassin but survived. He later admitted to having been addicted to opioids for the past 20 years. He was also found to have misused funds at his law firm and his law license has been suspended.

Following September's revelations police are re-examining the murder of his wife and son, Maggie and Alex, as well at the mishandling of a settlement claim following the death of the Murdaugh's housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, in 2018 at the family's house.

After the death of Maggie and Paul in June it was Alex who called 911 having discovered the bodies. Now People have revealed that Maggie had begun to examine the family finances in order to establish the couple's marital assets. She had traveled to Charleston, SC, to meet with a lawyer.

Alex's coworkers at the firm Peters, Murdaugh, Parker, Eltzroth, and Detrick (PMPED) said they'd noticed a change in the couple's relationship and noted Maggie no longer came to the office to have lunch with her husband.

People state that their source is a law enforcement source close to the murder investigation.

The police have not identified a motive or a suspect for Maggie and Paul's murders.

A spokesperson for Alex, Amanda Loveday, released the following statement in the wake of People.com's article:

"The most recent allegations by People Magazine regarding the state of Maggie and Alex Murdaugh’s marriage are totally inconsistent with what we have been told by friends and family members. Also, we have reviewed many years of text messages on Alex’s phone, and the conversations between Alex and Maggie portray a very loving relationship. It is our hope that the media will continue to focus on covering the investigation of the person or people responsible for the murder of Maggie and Paul and not reporting salacious stories with no credible sources connected to the Murdaugh family."

Alex's former law firm, PMPED, said he had "lied and stole from us". The firm accused him of misappropriating millions in order to feed an addiction to painkillers.

The firm released a statement on its website distancing itself from Alex, who had resigned on September 3, a day before the allegedly botched hit.

"We were shocked and dismayed to learn that Alex violated our principles and code of ethics. He lied and he stole from us.

"No member of PMPED was aware of Alex's scheme," the statement read.

"When we learned he betrayed our trust, we requested his resignation immediately. We have yet to speak to anyone who was aware of his addiction to opioids."

After the botched assassination attempt, Alex was arrested and charged for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill him. He has been released from jail and is currently in an out-of-state drug rehab facility.

He was also charged with insurance fraud, conspiracy, and filing a false police report. These felonies could bring up to 20 years in prison if convicted of all three charges. There is no minimum sentence. The killings of his wife and son, Maggie and Paul, remain unsolved.

US Ex-Lawyer Alex Murdaugh Admits Lying But Denies Killing Family

In a murder trial that has gripped the US, the heir of a South Carolina legal dynasty has admitted to lying about his whereabouts on the night his wife and son were killed.


BBC 25 FEB 2023





The Murdaugh family
Alex Murdaugh is accused of murdering his wife, Maggie, and his youngest son Paul

But Alex Murdaugh, 54, denied ever hurting Maggie or Paul Murdaugh, who were fatally shot at the family's secluded hunting estate in June 2021.

The former lawyer took the stand on Thursday in week five of the trial.


Mr Murdaugh faces 30 years to life in prison without parole if convicted.



The trial in Walterboro has rocked the southern corner of South Carolina, where the defendant's family has dominated the legal landscape for more than a century.

Prosecutors have argued that Mr Murdaugh killed Maggie, 52, and Paul, 22, in a desperate attempt to gain sympathy and conceal a decade of financial crimes.

Mr Murdaugh, who has admitted to stealing from clients and colleagues, is facing nearly 100 separate financial charges, with prosecutors alleging he stole about $8.8m (£7.3m).

The defence team has dismissed this theory at trial, saying Mr Murdaugh would never have "butchered" his family.

In court on Thursday, Mr Murdaugh wept as he recalled the night he found Maggie and Paul dead.

"I saw what y'all have seen pictures of," he told jurors, referring to graphic photos of the crime scene. "So bad."

And he addressed perhaps the most incriminating element of the prosecution's case: that he had lied about being with Maggie and Paul at the dog kennels on the family property shortly before they were killed.

A mobile phone video taken at the kennels by Paul about five minutes before prosecutors say the killings took place, which featured both Alex Murdaugh and Maggie's voices in the background, contradicted the defendant's claims that he had been napping inside the family home.

"Once I lied," he said, "I continued to lie." He blamed the earlier denials on paranoia from his years-long addiction to painkillers.

That addiction also featured prominently in his testimony. Mr Murdaugh told jurors a knee injury in college led to a deep dependence on oxycodone, one that he drained his bank account to sate.

"I'm not quite sure how I let myself get where I got," Mr Murdaugh said.

He also referred to one of the more bizarre elements of his saga: a hoax attempt on his life.

He called police in September 2021 - nearly three months after the murders of his wife and son - saying he had been shot in the head on the side of a rural road.

But he later admitted he had paid a distant cousin to shoot him, hoping his surviving son, Buster, could collect on his life insurance policy.

The jury also heard a recording of the 911 call Mr Murdaugh made after his wife and son were killed. In it, he is heard saying: "I should have known."



Family and friends of Alex Murdaugh listen to his emotional testimony on Thursday


Mr Murdaugh explained his statement by saying his son Paul had been the subject of death threats on social media that the family did not take seriously.

"We disregarded it because it was so over the top," he said.

Through hours of questioning, Mr Murdaugh maintained a mostly contrite demeanour, even under cross-examination by lead prosecutor Creighton Waters.

An animated Mr Waters, who paced around the court during questioning, pushed Mr Murdaugh with increasing intensity on a litany of alleged financial crimes.

"I was wrong," Mr Murdaugh said, over and over again. "I remember stealing from people, I remember lying to people and I remember misleading people."

But Mr Murdaugh rejected assertions by Mr Waters that he was concerned about his "financial house of cards" collapsing.

"You have charged me with the murder of my wife and son and I have sat here for all these weeks listening to all this financial stuff that I did wrong, that I'm embarrassed by," Mr Murdaugh said.

But he denied resorting to violence.

Alex Murdaugh Verdict: Disgraced Lawyer GUILTY of Killing Wife and Son

A powerful South Carolina lawyer has been found guilty of murdering his wife and son to distract from his multi-million dollar financial crimes.


BBC 1 MAR 2023





The Murdaugh family





Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife, Maggie, and his youngest son Paul

The jury deliberated for less than three hours before convicting Alex Murdaugh, 54, of two counts of murder at the end of a six-week trial.

He faces 30 years to life in prison without parole for each murder charge.





Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were shot at close range near the dog kennels on their family estate on 7 June 2021.

Alex Murdaugh stood impassively as he learned his fate during Thursday evening's hearing in Walterboro.

"The evidence of guilt is overwhelming," South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Clifton Newman said as he rejected a defence motion for a mistrial. He scheduled sentencing for Friday morning.

The case - chronicling the downfall of a family born to power and privilege - has captivated the country, inspiring documentaries on Netflix and HBO.

Murdaugh was once an influential personal injury attorney in the state, and for decades until 2006 his family members had served as the leading prosecutors in the area.

But the trial heard that for years he had been stealing from his law partners and clients to feed an addiction to painkillers and an extravagant lifestyle.

Murdaugh had pleaded not guilty to killing his wife and youngest son in an attempt to conceal years of financial corruption - fraud that he himself had acknowledged in court.

After the 12-person jury's verdict, dozens of spectators gathered outside the back of the court where officers ushered a handcuffed Murdaugh quickly into a black van.

Reporters shouted questions, though he remained silent. As police tucked him inside the vehicle, one man behind the media line shouted that he was praying for him.

It took more than a year for investigators to arrest Murdaugh as they untangled the complex case.

In a risky move for any murder defendant, Murdaugh took to the witness stand, trying to convince the jury that someone angry over a deadly 2019 boating accident involving Paul could have killed his son to seek revenge.

"I would never hurt Maggie, and I would never hurt Paul - ever - under any circumstances," Murdaugh testified.

The case against him was based entirely on circumstantial evidence. No direct evidence - things like a murder weapon, blood on his clothing or an eyewitness - was presented at trial.

Instead the prosecution focused on an incriminating Snapchat video taken by Murdaugh's son just before the murders.

Paul and his mother were killed at the kennels on the family's sprawling hunting estate, known as Moselle.

For 20 months after their murders, Alex Murdaugh told law enforcement repeatedly he had not been at the dog kennels at all that evening, and was at home napping.

But in the Snapchat video filmed by Paul just minutes before the shootings, the defendant's voice could be heard in the background.

On the stand at trial, Murdaugh admitted he had lied, saying his years-long addiction to painkillers had put him in a paranoid state.

The court also heard of Murdaugh's bizarre attempt to stage his own death in an insurance fraud scheme just three months after he murdered his 52-year-old wife and 22-year-old son.

Local resident Jessica Williams, 38, stood outside the court watching the proceedings on the phone with her six-year-old daughter.

"I am so happy," she told BBC News after the verdict was announced, adding: "I remember where I was when the verdict for OJ Simpson came down [in 1995]. This was the same thing."

Early on in the proceedings, Judge Newman ruled that prosecutors could bring in evidence of Murdaugh's alleged financial crimes.

Investigators say he stole millions from clients and colleagues, including $3.7m (£3m) in 2019 alone. And at trial, Murdaugh admitted to wide-scale theft.

Prosecutors argued it was these crimes that drove him to murder - that he thought the deaths of Maggie and Paul would gain him sympathy and stave off a reckoning over his other misdeeds.

Murdaugh and his defence team had argued in court that this theory was ludicrous and financial problems would never have led him to murder.

Several witnesses testified that on the night of the murders Alex Murdaugh had asked Maggie, who had been at the family's other property in nearby Edisto Beach, to return to Moselle.

Maggie much preferred Edisto to Moselle and hadn't planned on leaving, her sister Marion Proctor told the court. But Murdaugh's elderly father was dying, and so Mrs Proctor encouraged her to support him.

Alex Murdaugh and his two sons were fond of hunting, and Moselle was home to a collection of guns.

Prosecutors alleged that Murdaugh had used one of these - a .300 Blackout assault-style rifle - to kill Maggie, and another weapon to kill Paul. But they were unable to find either firearm and produce them at trial.

Maggie was shot four or five times with a rifle and their son was shot twice with a shotgun, the trial heard.

South Carolina's top prosecutor, Attorney General Alan Wilson, said: "Today's verdict proves that no-one, no matter who you are in society, is above the law
