Alex Murdaugh sentenced to life in prison for murders of wife and son

Headlines with Murdaugh and headlines with Murdoch, and I keep getting them mixed up. I was excited to see the first part of the title, thought Fox was finally getting what's coming to them. (Obviously it's good for a murderer to spend life in prison, too.)
The Alex Murdaugh case was presided by the same judge as the Nathaniel Rowland case, with the same sentence handed out.
Man he is so tall DANG , when he dies they'll need a custom made casket for him because he towers over everyone else.
Throw the other son in there with him
Now he's going to the State department of erections
He would of gotten less jail time for his financial crimes! And put into a better jail situation! Club Fed! 🤦🏽♂️ I don’t understand this!
After all this coverage over the case and I still can't figure out if his name is 'Alec' or 'Alex'…
Unlawful earnings shall corrupt you.
TWO LIFE SENTENCES TO BE SERVED CONSECUTIVELY.
With this trial over, I wonder when the doctors who provided prescriptions in such abundance that Mr. Murdaugh was able to take up to 60 pills a day of a highly addictive medication. The doctors, without a doubt, are the main contributors to Murdaugh's addiction. Who knows, there is good reason to believe if not for the addiction and its mind-altering effects these crimes may not have happened. So involuntary manslaughter sounds about right for the physicians who played a direct role in Murdaugh's addiction which undoubtedly contributed to the malice decisions and actions taken that night.
The guard just nodding his head behind Alex.
Murders need a harsher sentence than life in prison. They get to live while innocent lives are taken. Doesn’t seem fair. People are conducting mass killings constantly today because they know the worst punishment is living in prison. They don’t see that as a bad thing obviously.
Is this what white privilege looks like?
Justice is served

Karma will get you one way, or the other.
Sixty pills a day? How was he walking.
Murdering your wife and son, to distract investigators from your financial crimes. Insane.
In the words of Ja Rule: MURDER MURDAUGH!!!
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Two life sentences? Doesn’t South Carolina have “The Chair”? An appropriate end to this sentencing hearing would have been for the Judge to tell Mr. Murdaugh to please take a seat on “Old Sparky”.
Oh well, 😏
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy
How long would it take for him to be released?
White
I don’t understand the motive of lying.
Killing your lovely son and wife is unacceptable 😢
I like how the officer behind him nods his head as he is sentenced.
Omg. How?
Dead man walking…
Love how his name literally spells it out.
And not a tear shed during this part 🧐🤨 huh
