A disgraced former lawyer who was convicted of killing his wife and son after a six-week trial that riveted the United States has been sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.Throughout the trial, Alex Murdaugh had said he was not guilty in the June 7, 2021, shooting deaths at the family’s sprawling residential and farming compound in the US state of South Carolina.Judge Clifton Newton on Friday suggested Murdaugh’s opioid addiction may have made him “a monster” and that “the person standing before me was not the person who committed the crime, though it’s the same person.”
