Opinion | Charles Hurt: Murdaugh verdict: Jury of ordinary citizens in South Carolina shows us the way WashTimesOpEd
Memories going back a hundred years cling like the hot, thick air along waterways and salt marshes. Visiting ghosts ride the rhythmic cadences of nighttime cicadas.
For more than a hundred years, the Murdaugh family represented government power and justice in that part of South Carolina. A family portrait had to be removed from the courthouse walls during the trial so as not to influence the jury. Wise juries of our peers don’t just protect the accused from the heavy hand of government. They also ensure peace for all by delivering justice to criminal tyrants who threaten society.
At sentencing, Judge Clifton Newman stated that the ghosts of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh would visit their convicted killer at night for the rest of his natural life. Left unsaid is that those same ghosts will haunt those jurors, too.
