Alex Murdaugh to appeal murder convictions and life sentence

Alex Murdaugh filed a notice Thursday to appeal his convictions in the killings of his wife and one of their sons and the life sentence handed down by a judge.

A jury convicted Murdaugh, 54, last week of two counts of murder in the fatal shootings of Margaret, 52, and their youngest son, Paul, 22, in June 2021.

Murdaugh’s lawyers moved for a mistrial after the jury reached the guilty verdicts, but Newman denied the motion and said there was sufficient evidence for the jury to have reached its guilty verdicts.
