Summary
Those who knew him said he was a likable and loyal family man."I do not know anyone in my life who loved their family more than Randolph Murdaugh," Perry Buckner, a retired 14th Circuit judge, was reported to have said at his funeral.Buckner said Murdaugh once told him how much he enjoyed having his grandchildren stay at his residence while his son Alex, a part-time prosecutor in the solicitor's 14th Circuit office, and his daughter-in-law Margaret were remodeling their home.The family's powerful connections and accusations of special treatment were in the spotlight in early 2019, when one of their own was accused of causing a death during a night of underage drinking.Six people were on a boat owned by Alex Murdaugh, including his son, Paul, who is believed to have been driving at some point, according to police records.
