After less than three hours of deliberation Thursday at the Colleton County Courthouse, the panel returned its guilty verdict.

Paul Murdaugh had rammed his father’s boat into a bridge, killing 19-year-old Mallory Beach and injuring four other friends, and Murdaugh faced a multimillion-dollar claim.

Three generations of the Murdaugh family ran the office for 87 years. The reign ended only with the retirement of Murdaugh’s late father, Randolph Murdaugh III, in 2005.

Newman told Murdaugh that even as he continues to publicly deny his guilt, he must confront the haunting crimes he committed within his own soul.

“I know you need to see Paul and Maggie at night when you’re trying to sleep. I am sure they will come and see you. I’m sure,” said the judge.
