The murder trial of Murdaugh, who hailed from a powerful, wealthy family in the South Carolina Lowcountry, captivated the nation earlier this year. Prosecutors alleged that he shot his wife and son near the dog kennels on his sprawling family estate to cover up his extensive financial crimes and five-figure-a-week drug habit. He also committed a bizarre insurance fraud scheme, faking his own death to try to arrange a payout to his surviving son.
