BREAKING: Alex Murdaugh unanimously found guilty of murders after jury deliberates for 3 hours.
Guilty on all counts. I will note that (before now) most of the experts I saw on cable news lately discussing this case seemed to feel that the prosecution had done a terrible job.
@lauren It is the nature of our justice system, deeply baked into the jury of one's peers, that (with rare exceptions for gross ignorance of the facts) a jury can convict on weak evidence if they do not like the defendant's face.
One of the quirks of the whole deal and among the reasons the right to face one's accuser is so key, because it at least forces the jury to see both faces.
