Defense attorney Dick Harpootlian requests a polling of the Jury, every Juror agrees this is their verdict. The alternate Juror is returned to the general audience. Harpootlian asks for directed verdict for a mistrial. Prosecutor Creighton Waters argues against it, the motion is denied.
Judge Newman accepts the Jury's verdict. Given the lateness of the hour and other considerations, Newman states he will "defer sentencing." The minimum sentence for the charge of murder is a term of 30 years, and a minimum of 5 years for the weapons charges. We will reconvene for sentencing in the morning. "The defendant is taken away."
Judge Newman thanks the jurors extensively for their service and gives them permission "to talk with the case with anyone and reminds them that the media is unaware of their identities. If you decide they want to speak with anyone, that is your prerogative, however, if anyone harasses you, let me know."
7:23pm - The Jury is dismissed. Although Judge Newman offered to defer sentencing to a later date Prosecutor Waters states he is ready for sentencing tomorrow morning, and the defense agrees. Sentencing is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:30am.

Bland Richter is pleased to announce that it has filed the Satterfields’ Memorandum in Opposition and Motion for Sanctions to Alex Murdaugh’s Motion to be relieved from his judgment he gave to the Satterfields in the amount of 4.3 million dollars in May of 2022. In his Motion, Murdaugh advanced what he alleges are “novel” legal theories (we say they are non-sensical) as to why he should be allowed to dishonor the $4.3 Million judgment he confessed to the Satterfields for having stolen the money they were to receive from the death of their mother from both Lloyds of London and Nautilus Insurance Companies. The attached Memorandum in Opposition takes down the house of Murdaugh brick by brick, exposing that he tried to play the public and the courts by trafficking more half-truths and misrepresentations to the Court. The Memorandum speaks for itself and we look forward to a future hearing on the merits of the issues raised.
Thank you.
Eric S. Bland and Ronald L. Richter, Attorneys for Tony Satterfield, Brian Harriott and the Estate of Gloria Satterfield, the Plyler sisters and several other victims of Alex Murdaugh.
