- During his speech at CSU on Tuesday, Newman explained that he didn’t believe Murdaugh “hated his wife, and certainly I did not believe that he did not love his son, but he committed the unforgivable, unimaginable crime, and there’s no way that he’ll be able to sleep peacefully.”
- Newman also said in his speech that he was surprised by how much attention the trial received nationwide.
- “It had the added notoriety because it involved a lawyer who had been accused of stealing over $8 million from a number of clients,” Newman said, according to Today.
