Following a jury's conclusion after almost three hours of discussion, Alex Murdaugh was found guilty of murdering his wife Maggie and younger son Paul, as well as two counts of possession of a weapon while committing a violent crime.

In spite of testimony from Alex's older son Buster in his defense, the verdict was read and the 54-year-old stood silently handcuffed in the courtroom of the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina.

Lead prosecutor Creighton Waters stated in his closing arguments that Murdaugh was the only one with the motive, means, and opportunity to commit the murders.
