The recommendation came from a board consisting of SCDC security, mental health, and classification experts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInmates in this unit have validated protective concerns and are placed in a specialized unit to separate them from the general population. Their location is not disclosed for safety and security reasons. This unit has 28 inmates currently,\u201d said SCDC in a statement. \u201cMurdaugh will be in a single eight by ten cell that contains a bed, toilet, and sink. Inmates in this unit receive all privileges afforded those in the general population inside this self-contained unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murdaugh will stay in protective custody for at least one year, after which the decision will be reassessed.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Murdaugh was found guilty of murdering his wife and youngest son as part of an alleged attempt to distract from his financial crimes, which he still faces prosecution for. Over 70 witnesses testified during the six-week trial, which ended in a few hours of deliberation.<\/p>\n<p>During sentencing, lead prosecutor Creighton Waters told Judge Clifton Newman that the trial evidence \u201cshows [Alex] to be a cunning manipulator, a man who placed himself above all others, including his family.&#8221; Waters requested consecutive life sentences, saying Murdaugh\u2019s family &#8220;like everyone else, was unaware of who he really was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Murdaugh\u2019s attorneys declined to comment during the hearing, but Murdaugh himself once again declared his innocence.<\/p>\n<p>Following the conviction and sentence, Murdaugh filed a notice of appeal, though it contained no arguments. During the trial, his attorneys had disputed the investigators&#8217; handling of the crime scene, claiming that they did not explore other possibilities before focusing on Murdaugh as a suspect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Murdaugh, the disgraced\u00a0South Carolina attorney convicted of murdering his wife and son, has been moved into the protective custody unit in the prison where he\u2019s being held.
