A South Carolina jury has found once-prominent attorney Alex Murdaugh guilty on all counts in the deaths of his wife and son.
昔日知名律師Alex Murdaugh就其妻兒死亡之所有控罪,南卡來羅那州陪審團裁決成立。

Jurors deliberated for about three hours before convicting him on two counts of murder and two counts of using a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Murdaugh showed little emotion as the verdicts were read.
在裁定該律師兩項謀殺罪及兩項在犯罪間利用武器罪之前,陪審團商議將近3小時。Murdaugh在陪審團宣讀裁決時,情緒有點小波動。

Sentencing was set for 9:30 a.m. ET on Friday.
刑之宣告預定在美東時間早上9點30分。

The 54-year-old took the stand in his own defense. He was found guilty of using a rifle to kill his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and a shotgun to kill his son Paul, 22. They died on the night of June 7, 2021, at the family's sprawling Moselle hunting estate in South Carolina's Lowcountry region.
54歲的被告以身為辯護人之姿為己辯護。他以來福槍殺害其52歲的妻子Maggie Murdaug及以獵槍殺害其22歲的兒子Paul被判有罪。上開兩人死於2021年6月7日。

Before he was disbarred, Murdaugh was an influential attorney in South Carolina and belongs to one of the most prominent families in the state.
在被除名之前,Murdaugh係南卡羅那州一位具有影響力,並是該州是最著名家族之一。

He faces a sentence of 30 years to life in prison for each murder conviction. Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty.
對每一項控罪,他至少面臨終身監禁至30年徒刑之刑期。檢察官未具體求處死刑。

"Justice was done today," prosecutor Creighton Waters said after the verdict. "It doesn't matter who your family is. It doesn't matter how much money you have or people think you have. It doesn't matter what you think how prominent you are. If you do wrong, if you break the law, if you murder, then justice will be done in South Carolina."
檢察官Creighton Waters在陪審團裁決後,說道:「今日正義得以伸張。無關你係何家庭;無關你有多少錢或其他人認為你有多少錢。假如你做錯事,假如你違法,假如你謀殺,正義於南卡羅那州均得以伸張」。
