Judge Clifton Newman Reflects on Alex Murdaugh’s Unforgivable Crime and the Need for Fair Trials

Judge Clifton Newman spoke out Tuesday about the trial and sentencing of Alex Murdaugh, a lawyer convicted of killing his wife and son and stealing over $8 million from clients. Judge Newman said he had "no doubt" that Murdaugh loved his family despite committing an "unforgivable, unimaginable crime," and discussed the series of objections he heard during the trial. He concluded by emphasizing the importance of justice and the need to ensure a fair trial for all defendants, hoping Murdaugh can find peace despite his conviction.
