South Carolina Murdaugh Family Eighty-Seven Years of continuous Solicitors.
They were a four-generational family of South Carolina lawyers: the Murdaughs of Hampton, South Carolina. Wherever they went, mayhem and death followed — starting with the civil war of the 1860s. For the Murdaugh clan, corruption and murder were just par for the course. They ride the Pale Horse of an Apocalypse. In 1920, Randolph Murdaugh Sr. (the Great grandfather of Alex Murdaugh), the first in a succession of attorneys, became solicitor/chief prosecutor of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office in South Carolina.
Randolph Murdaugh, Sr. held that five-county post as solicitor/prosecutor until 1940, when he crashed his car into a train and died. He was 53 years old. When Murdaugh Sr. graduated from law school in 1910, his father (Josiah Putnam Murdaugh), a confederate soldier that fought to keep in bondage the 23 Africans his family enslaved to enjoy the fruits of their free labor — Josiah P. Murdaugh, was still alive. In 1920, Randolph Sr. ran unopposed for solicitor/prosecutor for a swath of five South Carolina counties. The Democrat Convention endorsed and praised him.
“A vote for Randolph will not only be a vote for the winner, but it will assure you of having a fearless, faithful, and competent solicitor.”
On June 7th, 2021 Alex Murdaugh Murdered His 22-Year-Old Son Paul And His Wife Margaret.
The South Carolina Murdaughs is a privileged dynasty that believes in wantonly killing Black people to sustain wealth and murdering their family members to stay in power — as they killed Randolph Murdaugh Sr. 1940, the leading patriarch of their family dynasty, in 1940.
“his son, Randolph “Buster” Murdaugh Jr., who served from 1940 to 1986, succeeded Murdaugh Sr.” After Murdaugh Jr. died, his son Randolph Murdaugh III took his place as a solicitor of the 14th Circuit to carry on the family dynasty. Murdaugh Sr., father Josiah P., entered the Confederacy as a private soldier and left as a private soldier. Confederate soldier Josiah P. Murdaugh died in 1912. In 2006 Randolph Murdaugh III retired as a solicitor. On June 10th, Murdaugh III died three days after his entitled son Alex Murdaugh killed his wife Margaret and son Paul. Richard Alexander, aka Alex Murdaugh, solicited (pun intended) his brother Randolph Murdaugh IV to testify on his brother’s behalf during his murder trial.

Randolph “Buster,” Murdaugh, Jr., they say, was known for his courtroom prowess and his flair for acting out murders before spellbound juries.” In February 2023, his grandson, Alex Murdaugh, tried to wow a jury by putting on a “C” actor’s show on the witness stand before a jury but only convinced them of his guilt in the murder of his wife, 52-year-old Margaret (Maggie) and his 22-year-old son Paul.
When Alex Murdaugh killed their son, Paul, Paul was facing charges — of the murder of which he pled not guilty — for a 2019 boating incident. They charged him with boating under the influence and causing the death of 19-year-old Mallory Beach. Prosecutors dropped the charges after his father killed him. Fifty-four-year-old Alex Murdaugh almost single-handedly brought a 100-year family confederacy to an end.

To Remove All Reasonable Doubt.
Nearing the end of the trial, after an arrogant Alex Murdaugh forced his attorney Jim Griffin to put him on the witness stand, it was clear the case would end in a guilty verdict. During the closing argument, his defense attorney Jim Griffin nonchalantly told the jury, “He lied. Why? That’s what Alex does.” The Murdaugh family kept a stranglehold on the 14th Circuit prosecutor’s office in South Carolina for eighty-seven years. It is unclear how much justice Black people received under a family that, in 1865, lost 23 “slaves” they fought to keep in bondage.
After three hours of deliberations, a jury of his non-peers found Richard “Alex” Murdaugh guilty of Murdering his wife and son. The Judge sentenced him to life in prison. In 2022, they suspended Alex’s oldest son Richard Alex Murdaugh, Jr, from law school — the fifth generation of South Carolinians Murdaugh lawyers.
After a six-week trial in one of South Carolina’s most riveting who-done-it murder mysteries, the jurors were sent to visit the murder scene, an Antebellum-styled mansion called the Moselle.
The only thing missing from the South Carolina Plantation style Mansion were the chickens running around, folks picking cotton in the field, and a Mammie bringing the accused killer pancakes, eggs, and coffee.
