A 22-year-old construction manager served as one of the 12 jurors who found Alex Murdaugh guilty of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, after deliberating for less than three hours. James, who asked that his last name be withheld, spoke to the Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy about the kennel video, how prayer played a role in the trial, whether Alex Murdaugh’s testimony mattered, and more.
NOTE: James’ brother is a Colleton County sheriff’s deputy who responded to Moselle the night of the murders but was not involved in the investigation. James said both the state and the defense were aware of his brother’s employment and approved of him being on the jury.

Very well spoken gentleman.
He looks like the UHC shooter!!
Inside every person you know, is a person you don’t know. This is true
This was not a hard verdict to come by.
what was the motive though , why
Aren’t you supposed to not know anything about the case in order to be picked as a juror?
What a challenge to sit on this jury. Reminds me of Natalie Cochran: a greedy defendant already convicted for stealing from clients, then on trial for murder!
Horrifying.
My curiosity was sparked about the casings.
My thought is every guns action/ bolt has a somewhat different characteristic. My thoughts are in no way I do not see how just by finding old spent casing does that in anyway tie that 300 blackout to the one the killed Paul! So just saying if Sam has a blackout and Paul has a blackout and they are shooting out of the same box of bullets then explain to me how you can differentiate what was what. Honestly as being a longtime avid hunter I would need way more than just casings
I don’t agree that he loved his family he’s a psychopath without question.
The financial information put a spotlight on how much of a liar he was, especially to those closest to him. Without the murder weapons they had to drive that point home.
Senticing
3 people actually believed he was not guilty at the beginning of deliberations?!?? 😳
His tie and jacket are awesome and he's incredibly intelligent. Young men like this make me proud to be an American. â¤ðŸ¤Â💙
Very unskillful interviewer. It's obvious she has preferred easy answers she's hoping he'll give, especially emotional or sensationalistic responses. She wants him to judge and condemn one or more of the lawyers' styles, she wants him to criticize the inclusion of the financial material, she wants him to (childishly and simplistically) point to a single moment in the trial that caused him to disregard the rest of the evidence and judge his guilt.
Agreed on how incredibly well spoken This young man is remarkable to see nowadays, especially how he spoke about this experience in such an eloquent, respectful and selfless manner, all while continuing bring it back to Paul and Maggie. Hes definitely a breath of fresh air!
He could definitely be a DA/Politician someday 😅😂 just saying!
I feel like the interviewer picked up on the college thing the way I did! Especially after I read the description on this video!
Its a small world though and communties are communities and that's part of why its so important to be judged by a jury of your peers! This young man definitely makes it seem that this jury was incredibly efficient, diligent, compassionate, intelligent, fair and were able to remain impartial.
Major Props!
cant HEAR the interviewer at ALL

If AM would have been raised in the manner this young man was there wouldn't have been any murders that day. Congratulations to his parents!!
What an amazing juror!!!
If I was in the jury. I’d say guilty the moment I seen Paul’s video on his phone where you hear Alex’s voice at the crime scene and there would be no changing my mind at that point
Judge Neuman RULES!!
