Alex Murdaugh convicted Thursday of fatally shooting his wife and son
Fox News
Alex Murdaugh was convicted Thursday of fatally shooting his wife and son after a panel of 12 Colleton County jurors spent less than three hours weighing the case.
The jury found Murdaugh guilty of two counts each of murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime without posing a single question to the judge while weighing the case.

The panel's decision, which could send Murdaugh away for life, came after they endured a grueling six-week trial and testimony from 76 witnesses. Sentencing is set to take place Friday morning at 9:30 a.m.
