5:01 am
murdaugh waits his fate. we are an hour and a half away from the start of this morning's sentence hearing. >> brian: it took the jury less than three hours of jury deliberations to convict murdaugh. >> griff: live outside of the courthouse, hey charles. >> hey, good morning alex murdaugh expected back in court at 9:30 local time this morning. sentencing after a jury found him guilty of killing both his wife maggie and son paul on the property in 2021. really a tough day for alex on thursday who immediately after the verdict was read and out of the courthouse in handcuffs for the entire world to see. the 54-year-old staring 34 years or life in prison after the jury came back three hours of deliberations with unanimous verdict of guilty on two counts of murder and two counts of possessing a weapon during the condition of a violent crime
5:02 am
here this verdict coming after weeks of testimony, including testimony from alex himself who was forced to admit he lied to the police for almost two years about not being at the scene of the murders after his voice call on snapchat video recorded by his son, paul, moments before and his mother was killed. the south carolina attorney did not show emotion after the verdict read in court thursday evening. his surviving son, buster, sat a few rows back with depleted look on his face. jim griffin with a hail mary for a mistrial due to a lack of evidence but the judge immediately thought otherwise and denied their motion. the attorney general said service was given for maggie and paul. speak with the criminal justice system work tonight. it gave a voice to maggie and paul murdaugh who were brutally mowed down and murdered on the
5:03 am
night of june 7, 2021 by someone who they loved and someone that they trusted. >> yeah, we got to that conclusion after drama in the courtroom but a juror swapped in thursday morning after the judge dismissed a member for allegedly talking to three people about the case. someone reporting the alleged misconduct to the court. guys, this morning, life in prison for alex murdaugh without the possibility of parole. we do expect to hear from the legal team. >> brian: quick question, is it all or nothing, 30 or all or a maximum for life? could you go in between? >> he could go in between but a lot of folks know the south carolina's court system thinks this judge is going to give him life in prison. so not much alex murdaugh can do. >> brian: thanks, appreciate
5:04 am
it. >> ainsley: thank you. you are wondering what went through the minds of the jurors. when did they come to the conclusion? many people say it usually happens in the initial arguments when you first hear the case. craig larger, a juror in the case spoke to national television about this is the first sound bite the timeline. listen to this. >> started remembering and going through the evidence and everybody was pretty much talking and about 45 minutes later after all of our deliberating come up figured it out. if you look at everything, it is all plain and clear. >> ainsley: it is all plain and clear. >> griff: the evidence, they deliberated three hours but maybe they thought maybe we should wait a little bit. but that 45 minutes as quick a quick time to return it with the
5:05 am
stakes so high. another sound bite from the same juror talking little bit about alex murdaugh taking the stand. listen to this. >> i didn't think much of it. >> really? >> i didn't see any true remorse or any compassion or anything. >> he cried a lot on the stand. >> no. >> he never tried? >> all he did is blow's not. >> how did you know he did not cry? >> i saw his eyes. i was this close to him. >> ainsley: wow, i was that close to him and couldn't see the tears. >> brian: let's bring in nancy grace all over this case. a lot of people thought when he took the stand that he did a good job defending himself. the jury felt differently. and you didn't really think it was a good move from day one. >> well, you know what, murdaugh
5:06 am
did do a good job on the stand on direct examination. he was answering all the softball questions but his lawyer was lobbing at him, everything they have been practicing eight blocks away at the county jail. when it came time for cross-examination, he became unglued. it was like he was melting on the stand. and i agree with the juror. i watch that juror the whole time and he sat on the front all the way to the left kind of far away from murdaugh and never took his eyes off of the witness stand. and i know that because i was trying to read the jurors. there was a few i could read because his head towards the witness stand and i couldn't see his face full on. but he was right. and i love the way he called it like it was. he was blowing's not here that is exactly what he was doing. it made me think back to the initial appearance the cops on
5:07 am
the scene when they got there, murdaugh, "i found my wife and child." and that was it pure the tears were over. look, these jurors did not just fall off of the turnip truck. this morning there is so much second-guessing. did they rush to judgment? rush to judgment, are you kidding? they listened weeks and weeks and weeks of testimony. i challenge anyone that questions this jury to come in and sit and listen to all the testimony we have been listening to. there was no rush to judgment. it was easy to figure out, he lied about the critical four to five minute when the murders occurred. who else would lie about that specific time lapse other than the killer. >> ainsley: you know, nancy, when alex murdaugh was on the stand, he never said think about if your child and spouse died,
5:08 am
you would sit up there and you would be sobbing. and you would be sagging, "i did not do this! i love my child! "he said i would never intentionally hurt my wife and son. intentionally hurt. >> really? what did he think his affair did to his wife and son, the affair that the jury never heard about? what did he think his drug addiction did to his family? all of that money gone, gone! nothing left! for buster to get back in a loss cool, go to law school, nothing. he did something everyday to hurt his family. and that to me fell on deaf ears. >> brian: you've covered so many of these high profile trials, casey anthony and things like that put in this case, to
5:09 am
ainsley's point, have you ever seen a jury have so much disdain for the person on the stand that now heard from this one juror and then statements from others? >> that is a really good question. you know what, i cannot think of another defendant on the stand that the jury has had more disdain for. they dislike so much. and you know another thing? i was looking at them in court. i was looking at buster who looks just like his dad. i was looking at murdaugh and the whole kit and caboodle. they had the whole education, money, advantage, opportunities that most of us never had. and maybe people will never have. and what did murdaugh do? not only squander it, but can you even imagine? i was listening to what ainsley said, and i have thought about my children. of course, you are not supposed
5:10 am
to put yourself in the shoes of the victims. but if i found my husband and one of my twins dad, there is no way i could have taken the stand the way he did appear at a very cool, dispassionate, just the way he was the night of the murders. >> brian: all right, let's talk about what happens 9:30 eastern time. they will give the sentence and the judges a quick turnaround on the sentencing. 30 is minimum, maximum to life. where does it go? >> well, i can tell you this, you cannot kill two people in south carolina and get anything less than life. that means life without parole. that means in my mind, alex murdaugh is lucky that they did not seek the death penalty on them. more than one body and yes, aggravating circumstance under which they could have sought the death penalty. and i know many people think that my judgment is harsh, but i
5:11 am
am thinking of maggie and paul here that is what i'm thinking of, not how alex murdaugh will fare behind bars. he will probably have sorts of women to be with him and write him and send him money. don't care! i care about justice for maggie and paul. that is it. >> ainsley: and that is how women think. all of the stuff that he put her through all those years. his son trying to find -- >> she knew about the affair, by the way. she was upset. yes, she was upset about that affair until right before she was murdered. speed to the very day the law firm said, "we know you have been stealing money," he knew she would find out. he didn't want the divorce because and discover he would have to show her his finances. his son was hiding his pills and sticking up for his dad when maggie went to the doctor.
5:12 am
and hidden in the car in his backpack and another time found his pills taped under the bed in a ziploc bag. he put this woman through so much instantly from their best friends. this is dis- and genuine. >> they say another factor that you just brought up, which is really smart that no one has discussed, maggie and paul trying to make him do another intervention and another dry out and another rehab. he didn't want that. when you try to tell an addict with $50,000 a week habit to go cold turkey, they go crazy. >> ainsley: judge jeanine said last night, this is maggie coming out of the grave and putting her hands around his neck. thank you so much. i know you have been working so hard, nancy, it is a fascinating case. >> griff: thanks, nancy. >> it is my privilege and i want to thank you for inviting me. >> brian: thank you so, nancy grace. 12 minutes after the hour a weather alert with 80 million

vice president's office coordinated with media outlets in conjunction to hunter biden. now we will show you this is something we uncovered him an email sent from buzzfeed to biden's counsel to hunter's recent appointment referencing the new seems odd on its face and presents a glaring conflict of interest given his role on ukraine policy. is that significant to you? >> it absolutely is. it shows awareness. it shows the media made inquiries. we suspect there will be more documents to come because this is not the first charge. there were concerns, real concerns with people with the obama white house about hunter biden's position with burisma. the op-ed to come of the entire thing. in fact one of the most critical things that lead us this morning to file a complaint with the department of justice about

>> get over on your stomach, get over on your stomach! >> ainsley: wow, okay, that is "jail" coming to fox nation and new episodes of "cops" on fox nation. here, morgan. how are you doing? >> i'm doing great. >> ainsley: it is moving to fox nation but tell us more. >> "jail" is a perfect companion of cops. a lot of people don't know the difference between prison and jails. prisons are a state run facilities and an example, alex murdaugh will go after convicted. when you're waiting trial, you go to jail. it is over 10 million people arrested every year. so, for us, we wanted to be able to shoot and that style show people events going down in the moment. that is what we do on "jail."

>> ainsley: what is the craziest thing you have seen when you watch the show? >> it is a lot of bad. i have to tell you, being a regular cop on the street is a tough job, but being a corrections officer in the city or county jail, you know, maybe a little tougher job because you have people coming in the door every second that may be intoxicated. they may be very unhappy to losing their freedom for the first time. these officers have to deal with that 24/7. >> ainsley: i don't know how they do it. it would be a scary job. what about cults? when can we see a new season, a new episode? >> season 34 comes back tonight. brand-new total season 35 on april 7th. we are premiering 33 brand-new episodes of "cops" hot off the press coast-to-coast. it is an exciting time to film

"cops." there's a lot of crime and cops have their hands full but we will be there to document it all and get it on fox. >> ainsley: i know your dad's front of you. i know he is the creator of "cops." how did he come up with the idea? >> he pitched "cops" 1982 to the writers strike, 88, '89. but the fox network was a brand-new network and knowing what it would be. and it was the right place at the right time. that is why i'm so happy to be on speed for the first 25 seasons we were on fox broadcast network and help build the network. for us being on fox nation is coming full circle and back when the show started. in a little bit of homecoming so we love it. >> ainsley: it is great. thank you so much. great to see you. >> absolutely. >> ainsley: before and "jail" available on fox nation.
