The rise and fall of Alex Murdaugh

Listen Later

Life in prison – that’s the sentence handed down today to disgraced former attorney Alex Murdaugh for killing his wife and 22-year-old son. It’s hard to overstate just how influential the Murdaugh family has been in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. Alex Murdaugh was a kingmaker in the legal world, and now he’s a convicted murderer. The true crime story has captivated the nation for what it reveals about power and privilege, as James Lasdun has reported on in-depth for The New Yorker. 

Also on today's show: Salah Hamwi, assistant country director, CARE Yemen; Steven Levy, Editor-at-Large, Wired
