we are going to be seen, judge newman walking up to his dais there to address the court. the jury notifying the clerk 20 minutes ago that they had a verdict. >> diana as you are speaking, this is the judge, judge newman as you said. >> understand there is a verdict you may bring in the jury. >> you looking at life pictures, that is alex murdaugh waiting for the verdict, the jury has a verdict in this case. this is life what you're watching judge newman is presiding and asked the jury to come in which is happening elsewhere in this room and you looking alex murdaugh awaiting news of his fate, four felony counts, to further murder of his wife maggie and son paul. convicted the minimum sentence would be 30 years to life. the indicated they will not go for the death penalty. >> thank you if you will stand for me. have you reached a verdict? >> yes, sir we have. >> is it unanimous. >> yes it is. >> if you will pass it up. to the clerk who will pass it to me. and you may be seated. >> the defendant will rise. madame clerk you may publish the verdict starting with the back not -

>> not very often but i think your viewers need to know cliff newman lost a son not long ago who was the prominent, well-known lawyer in south carolina. so of all the trial judges in the state that can feel the loss, the finality of death, it would be cliff newman. if you know anything about him, bill, you know he have wants the defendant to tell him why. the jury has already spoken. so for alex murdaugh to insult the jury, insult the process was a really dumb thing. the good news for him he would get life no matter what but i don't know, cliff may have run them concurrent but for the fact that alex murdaugh continues to lie and therefore he got back-to-back life sentences. >> dana: bill holloway we haven't had a chance to hear from you yet today. tell us your thoughts as alex murdaugh then is now back in jail and now for life. >> great to be with you, of course. my thoughts, my goodness, i've got so many because i can relate to this. i'm a member of a legal community and i'm privy to a lot of the things that happen socially and that they never really talked about outside the legal c

>> judge newman said that he is ready to get going on that. he has been assigned the cases, and he is ready for those victims to have their day in court. he had anticipated that the attorney general will be moving quickly to determine the arrangement of what cases will be tried next, and to determine if, you know, alec murdaugh is going to plead guilty, and i would not expect that, but they are going to be working with that quickly, and certainly regarding steven smith's death investigation, and i believe it is a priority for south carolina law enforcement division, and i do have hope that there are people out there who have the information on that, and i do believe that s.l.e.d. is working on that and we will get the answers for his brother and family. and it is tragic the number of victims related to alec murdaugh and their families. >> the adult children of gloria satterfield, the housekeeper who allegedly tripped over a dog and fell, and hopefully they will get some answers. we thank you for the conversation. stay with us, because we do ex

so this was not cliff newman expressing his opinion. this was judge newman saying look, there is enough to find him guilty and i can tell you if the verdict had been not guilty he would have also said there is enough evidence to support that. i think we can all agree whether people like the performance of the prosecutors or defense attorneys, cliff newman did an amazing job over the entire pendency of the trial. all of the pressure on him, dana, 30 years is the minimum. is there anything about this fact pattern that makes you think alex murdaugh should get the minimum sentence? that's the minimum for murder if south carolina. i think alex murdaugh will get double life sentences and life means life in south carolina. it is a pine box pardon. >> bill: thank you. may call on you again as we get underway here in 25 minutes or so. thank you, trey. one more thing about what this juror said. they looked at the officers' body cam video and the heart of their debate was the shotgun shells. the not guilty voters said it was evidence of his innoce

and judge newman acknowledging that he is presiding over the 90-some charges that he is still to answer. and he said, we are still going to pursue those, and this is maybe two life sentences for maggie and paul, but there are still some other victims out there who want to get their justice as well. so there are additional pleas going forward that are dealing with alec murdaugh. so some of the people coming out, they are coming in from the area, and their fascination with the fall from power. i spoke with an attorney who represents ten of the alleged financial victims, and he said it is not a fall from grace or power, but it is a jump. just to see how quickly this has unraveled with alec murdaugh admitting on the stand with a decade of lying and stealing on the stand. it is important to note that he has been convicted and that he has never hurt maggie or paw-paw, and obviously, the jury is not convinced by the testimony. >> yeah. such important context, dianne. and we appreciate the excellent reporting over the days and months as we bring you back in with the panel. sarah ford, we were w

. >> victor newman, nikki newman, they have been married in the course of the show i believe four timeser: sharon and brothers -- >> sharon was married to jack. victoria to billy abbott, not the biological father of ashley abbott, although he didn't know he wasn't. >> reporter: adam is having a child with sally? >> that is correct. but sally is dating brother nick. >> reporter: life in genoa city is complicated, isn't it? >> certainly is. >> reporter: and life for all soaps got complicated around 1995. back then, there were ten on the air. but that same year -- >> if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. >> o.j. trial, that ultimately took our nielsen numbers so low and never to be revived at that level. because we didn't know we were watching the first reality show with o.j. >> reporter: melody thomas scott played stripper turned corporate executive nikki newman -- >> i would advise that you keep your guard up and your eyes open. >> reporter: for 44 seasons. >> i am a dinosaur, but i love it still. i have so much fun here. we shoot many more pages a day than a film or a nighttime show. only

there was in-camera hearings and ultimately judge newman considered that and admitted it.nk this case is unique, and you know, as i described during the trial and a little bit today, there's this unbroken chain of circumstances that are part of the factors of all the various pressures leading to that day. to answer a very important question, what about this man could lead him to do these impossible things. you know, motive is not an element, but it's almost always, you know, something a jury wants to know, and it doesn't even have to be motive. just bwhy, how could this perso do such a thing. ultimately i'm certainly not going to speak for the state supreme court, but judge newman considered all of that and issued a very detailed and well thought out ofruling, so we're confident that will be upheld. and also we have those white collar crimes -- >>i yes, sir. >> i'm sorry. go ahead. >> we also have those white collar crimes remaining. and to be clear, alex is still presumed innocent of those. they were -- they came in -- or testimony and evidence about them came in in this

this is case number 187 on the calendar in the matter of newman vs.lcome, judge. parties have been sworn in. you may be seated. folks, have a seat. >> judge judy: miss newman, this used to be your boyfriend, according to your complaint, and you say that he vandalized your car with you in it. he had a hissy fit over something. his defense is that you're nuts and it never happened. so, why don't you tell me what you recall of the events of the evening of june 8th? >> we went to a party. his sister, his friend azzie went to my friend's party, and it was almost 2:00. we went to the store to get more beer 'cause we ran out. they asked me to drive. >> judge judy: listen to me. slowly -- like it's not something you memorized. >> okay. >> judge judy: do you understand? >> yes, ma'am. >> judge judy: the night of june 8th, you were at a party, and it's 2:00, and you wanted some more beer. you hadn't had enough. who was driving? >> i was. >> judge judy: and you had been drinking? >> no, ma'am. >> judge judy: so you hadn't been drinking at all? >> no, ma'am. >> j

so in this fairly dramatic sentencing hearing, judge clifton newman admonished him, called the defense not credible and assault on the integrity of the judicial system. >> john: murdaugh repeatedly claimed he did not murder his wife and son. his conviction capped off a stunning fall from grace for his family which the judge described as controlling justice in their south carolina community more than a century. >> sandra: we have legal experts standing by. >> john: jonathan has been covering the trial since the beginning. what are the next steps? >> facing two consecutive life sentences, murdaugh plans to file appeal. his defense attorneys announced that minutes ago. they say it was unfair of the court to allow prosecutors to introduce testimony about murdaugh's alleged financial crimes to his murder trial. take a listen. >> that was being offered as motive for why he would go home and kill his wife and son, which we thought was illogical and ludicrous. >> murdaugh wore the county jail jump suit. today the judge asked murdaugh about something he said on the witness stand during the tria

and then also to hear judge newman say it may not have been you. it may have been the person you have become on opioids and there have been reports alex murdaugh taking 50 to 60 pills a day but seemed that judge newman did not consider that justification or even an explanation for what he did. >> not moved by the judge addiction and the jury. they heard the testimony about that but they saw him lie time and time again with a straight face having no problem. they watched him on camera lie again and again and clearly they were not moved. they thought he wasn't credible. it was interesting. you point out the emotion both today -- lack thereof today and last night and seeing the jurors talking. they didn't buy it on the stand. we saw snot coming out and not tears. we didn't find him credible. >> at the end of the day this jury deliberated under three hours. people were surprised with how swift they brought in the verdict. >> yeah. given the mountain of evidence they heard about the trajectory of bullets. they knew what they thought was the truth going

judge clifton newman will make the ultimate decision, the attorneys can plead their cases. he is facing between 30 years as a minimum and life in prison without the possibility of parole as a maximum for those two murder convictions, killing his wife maggie and his son paul. now, we do anticipate to hear victim impact statements. some of what is unfortunately unique about this case is that many of the defendant's family members would also then give those victim impact statements because this is a case of a husband being convicted of killing his wife and his son. his surviving son buster, we are waiting to see if he will be here, fell speak. there is also, of course, maggie's family as well, maybe even some of paul's friends. again, we do not know at this point who is going to speak. during this nearly six-week trial we heard from more than 70 witnesses, all sorts of data and forensic evidence, but according to that juror that you heard from there it was the video, that video that was on paul murdaugh's phone, it wasn't found for more than six months until the u.s. secret se

judge newman declaring this one of the most difficult trials he's ever been a part of even more.he knew murdoch personally, that was especially heartbreaking for me, too. >> see go in the media from being a grieving father. lost a wife and a son to be the person. and i and convicted of killing them. >> judge newman going back the 2 days when murdoch took the stand in his own defense, asking him to clarify something he said. >> what angle we have. we you mean by that. >> it went out. in talking about murdoch's like that specifically that night in june of 2021. judge newman said burdocks inability to tell the truth will haunt him for the rest of his life. >> but within your own. so you have to deal with that. know you have to. saint paul and maggie during the night time tempted to go to sleep. i'm sure they come and visit you. sure. >> a man who once said everything now left with nothing but and judge newman called a monster will have the rest of his life to think about it from a prison cell. >> but amazingly, to have you come and testify. that it was just another ordinary day. my

i think judge newman said that, maggie and paul will be visiting you forever. know, he appeared to be crying but saw no tears and, you know, i think in observing him on the stand you saw that. but, you know, as you look at what he said, as you watched his reactions there, it's always dangerous and to try to gauge the accuracy of someone's reaction to a situation like that because people respond differently. but when you start to look at it in a totality, it just -- didn't add up and didn't make sense and there was something off about it and that was sort of the beginning as you tell the story, but that's part of it is that he's already lying out of the gate and he's already lying if you were to play later in the 911 call then daniel green he's already lying about the time period are we he tried to tell the jurors about factors that hadn't existed yet. >> the last video i'd like to play is some of the attorney general when he was interviewing a crime scene expert to counter what the defense's crime scene expert had said about the crime scene. i just want to play

could hold hefty sentences, but as things stand, he is in jail for life. >> we hea from judge clifton newmanhe sentenced alex murdaugh to the two consecutive life terms. what else did he say? he spoke for half an hour. >> he expressed a lot of anger about conduct in court. this is in part because murder -- murdoch -- murdaugh is a lawyer and he felt the court to be devious while he presented things. while south carolina has the death penalty, persecutors had taken it as a possible option off the table before the trial, something they can do, but the judge said, your family and your ancestors have prosecuted many cases in this state and sent many people to their deaths for much lesser crimes then you have committed. he indicated that if he had the choice, he would have handed down a capital sentence for this crime, so that was pretty dramatic. also during the sentencing, that's when alex murdaugh stood up and said he maintained his innocence twice. he said, i love my wife. i love my wife and my son. i would do nothing to harm them. >> you say alex murdaugh because likely to appeal. what did h

. >> judge clifton newman notably getting very personal before handing down that sentence, talking about knowing alex murdaugh and his family and that alex was a well-respected and gregorius person, but the judge also made it clear that he agreed with that guilty verdict handed out by the jury. he accused murdaugh of duplicitous conduct in the courtroom and on the witness stand and he said the lies finally caught up with him. cnn's dianne gallagher is here outside of the courthouse in walterboro, south carolina. diane, it was really the last just 24 hours here very astonishing moments inside of that courtroom, led this morning by the judge himself. >> reporter: abby, i don't know if people exhaled out here outside of the courthouse watching until judge clifton newman finished speaking directly to alex murdaugh who answered him when was asked questions, but mostly because he has to just sat there and listened. it was a dressing down like i have never seen, going through the family history of the murdaughs, letting alex know that he had to remove that portrait of alex murdaugh's grandfathe

have been the monster you've become when you take 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 opioid pills. >> reporter: newman who has reserved opinion and comments on the case for six weeks speaking from the heart friday about murdaugh's tangled web of lies. >> to have you come and testify that it was just another ordinary day that my wife and son and i were out just enjoying life is not credible, not believable you can convince yourself about it, but obviously you have the inability to convince anyone else about that >> reporter: but murdaugh's defense team feels ultimately that it wasn't fair. they plan to appeal on grounds that murdaugh's financial crimes should have never been admissible. >> so it was judicial bait and switch. >> reporter: murdaugh's team says they wavered on whether he should testify in his own defense but decided in the end without it he'd have at times during the trial, jim griffin originally retained to represent paul murdaugh in the 2019 boat case overwhelmed with emotion >> i respectfully request that you do not compound a family tragedy with another >> never once during the whole

newman warned of the possible consequences.nlimited dollar printing may end, which will lead to a collapse in the markets and debt crisis in the us well, there is such a theory. the quality of the ukrainian armed forces over the past year has significantly decreased. this is already being written by another american publication. washington posts. here, according to this publication, kiev has lost a lot of trained soldiers, who over the past 9 years have been trained by the americans, they are being replaced by inexperienced conscripts. in addition, the ukrainian military does not have enough ammunition continues to publish it must be said that many experts. mm, with a great deal of skepticism, they relate to such publications suggest that a publication such as the washington post deliberately creates a false picture of the situation, covering up, for example, the active preparation of ukraine for offensive hostilities. garbage workers' strike has brought paris to the brink of a sanitary disaster city hall estimates that almost

and one of the things that came out very clear with judge newman that resonated with me today is when the judge said paul and maggie must visit alex in his jail cell every night. and i think what the judge was also saying in making that statement is that for the rest of your natural life, your son and daughter -- your son and wife will be in that jail cell haunting you for what you did. you are a cold-blooded killer. and you killed them and you lied and even today, harris, in that courtroom, the last words out of alex murdaugh's mouth, i didn't do it. i didn't kill them was another lie. lie, lie, lie. everything has been a lie with this man. >> harris: what's interesting in those moments, and i just talked with charles about this, he didn't say that during the trial. he said he would never intentionally hurt his wife or son mags or pawpaw as he called them. was it a set up for an appeal to have him today in a more declarative way say i didn't do this? >> absolutely. alex murdaugh, unfortunately under the circumstances, could not come clean if he wanted to appeal this case and he does

the judge newman mentioned it as well. it's about power and privilege. the lead prosecutor said proving that no one is above the law. there were people who were surprised, including those who followed this case closely that the jury came back so quickly. the judge, of course, putting down that life without parole sentence, consecutive sentences for the murder of maggie and paul. he did not pull any punches. judge clifton neumann spoke for quite a while. he's a respected, well-known, even-tempered judge here in south carolina and he laid into alex murdaugh. >> and i know you have to see paul and maggie during the nighttimes when you're attempting to go to sleep. i'm sure they come to visit you. i'm sure. >> every night. >> i'm sure. and they will continue to do so and reflect on the last time they looked you in the eyes. as you look the jury in the eyes. >> reporter: there was a juror who spoke with abc who said that it was alex murdaugh's lie but also his testimony, when he got on the stand for those 14 hours last week. he just didn't buy it, the juror s

jay newman in an article for the publication.post, he noted that more than 100 countries of the world did not support the restrictions that the states have introduced against russia and now these states create economic coalitions where other currencies are involved in transactions. newman also warned of the possible consequences. he admits that the age is limitless and the dollar printing may end, which will lead to a collapse in the markets and a debt crisis in the united states. the quality of the ukrainian armed forces has significantly decreased over the past year, the washington post writes, according to the publication. kiev has lost a lot of trained soldiers, who over the past 9 years have been trained by americans and are being replaced by inexperienced conscripts. except moreover, the ukrainian military does not have enough ammunition these factors. as emphasized in the material, it indicates that our batas will not be able to carry out an offensive operation earlier , i remind you of its preparation, they wrote in the w

judge newman thought otherwise and denied their motion before he applauded the jury for their six weeks >> all of the evidence pointed to only one conclusion. that's the conclusion that you all reached. i applaud you all as a group and as a unit and individually, evaluating the evidence and coming to a proper conclusion. >> charles: yeah, meantime the prosecution, which had a tough and complicated case to prove from the very beginning said justice will prevail in south carolina. no matter where you come from or your status. >> it doesn't matter how much money you have or people think you have. it doesn't matter what you think, how prominent you are, if you do wrong, if you break the law, if you murder, then justice will be done in south carolina. >> yeah. we made it to that conclusion on that thursday after an alternate juror was swapped in thursday morning after the judge dismissed a member for allegedly talking to three people about the case. we're told reported the alleged misconduct to the court. meantime, we expect to hear from alec murdaugh's defense team this morning after he his

arthel: all right, jonna, so why do you think judge newman said that for all to hear? >> yeah. he had, he had a reason. i mean, i listened to the sentencing in its entirety. it was eloquent, it was thoughtful. and at times, it was inappropriate. it seems that judge newman was trying to get alex murdaugh to come clean are, right, to confess that he actually did kill his wife and son. and you can't do that right before you sentence somebody to eternity in prison. but i think because of the familiarity between the two, he was trying to send a message to alex personally, and i think he was trying to send a message to his community which i get. it's just, you can't do that right before you sentence somebody to two life terms in prison. but he was, he was sending a message and getting his digs in, for lack of a better word. arthel: well, let me show you, because as you well know, alex murdaugh is still facing 99 charges from 19 separate indictments. i want to pop that on the screen for us. you've got some of his alleged financial crimes, stole clash 8.8 million in settlement money fr

but clifton newman's as impeccable a model of american jurisprudence as you will find. this is the last night on the bench, he has done an incredible job, dealing with this child trial but, walter scott some years ago in south carolina. he has been an exemplar of what it is to hold a courtroom in check. and when you saw him during the census today, the way he framed, it the way he put that narrative out was just stunning and compelling. it was not a surprise, if you're all familiar with judge newman, he was consistent, but i cannot say enough about how he conducted himself in this trial, to make sure that everything went according to plan. now the biggest thing that surprised me was, like the prosecution really stuck with the idea of a narrative for far too long. it wasn't until they were closing or get away from. it >> will guess. what >> it worked. >> what surprised me, oj simpson analyzing this on social media. that was my you have got to be kidding. jonathan allen, i fully intended to give you a lot more time, however, charles coleman showed up tonight in that doubl

you saw judge newman bring up the fact that, listen, you come from a family of prosecutors. many of whom have likely convicted other people who have faced death and more harsh penalties than you are about to receive for having done less. you heard him talk about, i believe maggie and paul paul visit you at night. he brought an element of humanity to this conversation in how he framed it and talked to the defendant who was still unwilling to accept responsibility for what it is that he has now been convicted of. i thought it was a very classy way of having this conversation, but also clear as he created the record around why he sentenced him to two consecutive life sentences. >> and, glen, we also heard from one of the jurors on the case this morning. let's listen to part of it. >> it was two not guilty, one not sure, and nine guilty. >> what was your vote? >> guilty. >> we started deliberating, going through the evidence, everybody was pretty much talking and about 45 minutes later, we, after all our deliberating, we figured it out. >> so it took basically 45 minutes for you

. >> reporter: newman also says he stands by the pivotal ruling to allow murdaugh's alleged financialant takes the stand and testifies, then almost everything is fair game at that point. >> reporter: it is a decision murdaugh's attorneys are now using as grounds to appeal. judge newman served as both a defense attorney and prosecutor for years before he was elected as a judge in 2000, but the murdaugh trial gained him national recognition and a few social media fans praising his calm demeanor. >> this man is a national treasure. >> reporter: newman addressed his decision to allow the jury to visit the murdaugh family estate where the murders took place. >> it ended up, i thought, being helpful to the prosecution and not to the defense, though requested by the defense. >> reporter: that property recently sold for a sum total $3.9 million, according to court documents. alex's surviving son, buster, is expected to receive $530,000 of those funds. >> so what's next for him? >> so he has to retire when he turns 72, which is actually later this year. but he is still assigned to preside over

i mean judge newman, he's a punisher. that was never dispute. buster the get up and speak on his behalf would not make a difference. why would you want to put that kid more trauma than anybody could have been through. >> >>>> r>p >> has his feeling dad changed at all? >> i can't speak on his behalf. the family came to trial everyday for six weeks, expecting to hear proofs positive that he killed maggie and paul. after six weeks of trial they came away more convinced that he did not do this. they supported him in his camp. that's where they stand. >> what's next for alex? >> well, alex will be leaving shortly to go to columbia to rne, where he'll be at the corrections, he'll be evaluated at a 30-day process. he'll send to wherever the correctional facility they assigned him to. >> is there special security measure for it? >> no, you know -- alex was not optimistic that with all of the scrutiny and press and all of his bad acts being out in the public and the world and media domain that he could get a jury to put out all the noise and just focus o

i thought judge newman did an outstanding job under very difficult circumstances.rs on both sides enjoyed good reputations but cases are really won or lost because of judges or lawyers. is the evidence injuries a focus on for it i said i would rather have a false exculpatory statement that a confession. and now you see why. a light you can prove will seal a defendant's fate quicker than any other type of evidence of previous alex murdaugh lie about not being present at the murder scene that did him in. for all of the forensics and ballistics in gunshot revenue, blood splatter, the phone, navigation data it was a lie. it exposed him as the killer. two trials and wanting the prosecution tells us defense tells us what the police did not do what should have. and the jury finds the truth in the middle of that. and they usually get it right. there is no device that good as detecting a lie as the scrutiny of our peers. alex murdaugh will die in prison this once a prominent lawyer was handcuffed, led out of that small south carolina courthouse and taken to the department o
