Former S.C. Attorney Alex Murdaugh Pleads Not Guilty

Former South Carolina Attorney Alex Murdaugh pleaded not guilty yesterday to the murders of his wife and son. Murdaugh’s plea comes almost a week after he was indicted by a Colleton County Grand Jury on two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in connection to the deaths of his wife Margaret and son Paul. The hearing was originally slated as a bond hearing but Murdaugh and his attorneys requested a formal arraignment. His attorneys consented to no bond and Judge Clifton Newman ultimately denied bond.
