Murdaugh Murders: The Trial

Overview

The Murdaugh family were solicitors in South Carolina for three generations, leading prosecutions for their district and playing a key role in deciding which cases were prosecuted. The family was known for their position, power, and prestige. However, since 2015, personal injury attorney Alex Murdaugh and his family have been linked to a series of investigations for deaths, corruption, insurance fraud, defrauding clients, and now, murder.
