00:00 Alex Murdaugh's Education Background, Qualifications, and Law Career

00:04 Alex Murdaugh is the son of a famous and rich South Carolina legal family.

00:08 He made headlines in 2021 after the murders of his wife,

00:11 Mavie, and son Paul, in which he was the main suspect.

00:15 During his case, his friends, family, and work partners shared sensitive

00:18 information about Alex Murdaugh with the court.

00:21 Some of them openly questioned Alex Murdaugh's education background by telling the jury that

00:25 he wasn't a real law student.

00:27 The jurors heard the graphic testimony of how Mavie and Paul were fatally shot on 7

00:32 June 2021 at their home for over two weeks.

00:34 The main suspect, Alex, pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of a weapon and

00:38 two counts of murder.

00:40 However, prosecutors were able to provide solid context and evidence on why they believed

00:44 Alex killed his family.

00:46 He was found guilty and sentenced to life.

00:48 Who is Alex Murdaugh?

00:49 Alex Murdaugh, born on 17 June 1958, is an ex-lawyer and a criminal currently serving

00:55 a life sentence with no parole.

00:56 He was the son of a famous South Carolina legal family, Murdaugh family, which served

01:01 as solicitors in five South Carolina counties before establishing a personal injury law

01:06 firm.

01:06 Alex received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, 1990, from USC, a Juris Doctorate

01:12 degree, 1994, from USC School of Law and was admitted to the South Carolina Bar, the Hampton

01:18 County Bar, and the American Bar Association.

01:21 Immediately after receiving his license to practice law, Murdaugh assumed his role in

01:25 the legal family dynasty.

01:26 He joined Parker, Peters, Eltzeroth, and Detrick, and Murdaugh alongside his father and brother.

01:32 Why did Alex Murdaugh do what he did?

01:34 According to prosecutors, Alex murdered his 22-year-old son, Paul, and 52-year-old wife,

01:50 away from the company and clients for years.

02:50 the verdict.

02:51 While Alex's sister, Lynn, showed little emotion driving away from the courthouse,

02:55 neither the disgraced attorney's elder sibling, Randy, nor younger brother, John Marvin, were
