What a fabulous judge hope he will write his life story I would really like to learn more about his life and journey I would definitely buy his book 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
LOVE that judge! He had never seen any criminal lower than this a-hole. It is amazing that the law got that guy whose family WAS the law there. He was getting with everything until he murdered his wife and son.
His poise and calmness are shown in his delivery. He has served for a long time and is an excellent example of what a great judge should aspire to be like. I wish him well in his retirement.
Judge Newman is the TRUTH! He also presided over Samantha Josephson’s killers trial & sentencing & did a great job! He even refused to allow the killer’s mother to talk about what a good person he is.
Those words the judge had for him had no impact on him whatsoever. Soul less prick is what I say. Who steals from a quadriplegic when You have everything you could ever want or need.
These are not normal individuals just making mistakes. I contribute the outcomes to the parents who raise them to become Iike this. Sad and even more so, the people who hope their love can reach them and heal their damage. Only God can heal. 💙
God Bless Judge Newman. I think he is a role model to many I hope other judges follow in his footsteps. I enjoy listening to him. Happy retirement to you. Best wishes to him and his family.
What a powerful statement! Telling this corrupt, “empty “ man he is the same as a cop killing murderer . He blew his wife away and blew his son away. Judge Newman knows exactly what he is. I pray for the family he has killed(his own) and the families he stole from.
While is true most of his victims (both killed and stole) are innocent, you need to realize Alex Murdaugh despite the only inherently evil man in his family, is far from the only one accused or wrongdoing. Do you not realize that Paul Murdaugh was criminally charged for the death of Mallory Beach before being murdered by his dad?
Honorable Judge Clifton Newman you have my deepest respect. I appreciate your mindfulness, humility and integrity which should be a lesson to the current occupants of the Supreme Court of the United States. God bless you sir. Thank you for your service and may you have a long healthy and joyful retirement surrounded by all you love.
All good and perfect blessings to you Judge Clarence Newman!! May those who follow you be the upstanding, level headed individual that I believe you truly are. Our entire world needs many more just like you!! Enjoy your retirement with your beautiful family! Sincerely
Happy Retirement Judge! You are one of the best judges I have heard and I can listen to him speak for hours. I bet he has so many wisdom jewels to share. Alex was standing there like Lurch from the Addams Family just a soulless monster.The judge gave him more compassion than Alex gave to his wife and son and his other victims.
It is interesting to listen to the Judge's opinions, he is very thoughtful and articulate. But, I don't know what good it does other than to unburden himself. Goodbye Murdaugh. You should never be seen again.
Yeah but it's just humans. We all LOVE to be heard. Pretty sure the majority of conversations on this planet is just both people waiting for their turn to talk. Court is no different
The judge gives a summation of the verdict meant to leave a lasting impression on the subject. There can’t be any question on record, or in the guilty party’s mind. This is not a random opinion. This is coming from his probably years of criminal law experience…. If anyone has ever wished they could shake a murderer and tell them exactly who they are and what they’ve done, or question ‘why?’-this is the judicial system doing that. There are so many reasons, I could continue for a while. Even comparing his character and apology on a scale of other criminals with similar characteristics. There’s a small population that can boast of that range of knowledge. As a layperson, I’m annoyed when people don’t think things through. I didn’t even bother googling it, but I’m sure you could and it would GIVE you a reason the judge remarks at sentencing.
That man is going into a cell. He will not be stimulated with the regular things of life. Hopefully he will hear the words people said to him repeatedly as he serves his time. Maybe he van gain an understanding of what he actually did to people and grow from that.
Judge Newman is the most classy, honorable and noble judge! Shame on these corrupt fools for attempting to tarnish his good name. Bless Judge Newman and may he enjoy his retirement to the fullest. All of those have been suffering at the hand of AM I do hope you can start your healing journey a little easier now. Never forget what’s done in the dark will always shine through in the light. ❤
This judge is the classiest, most eloquent speaking judge. To see a man he has been through many cases with as a comrade must have been so hard. Not that he felt sorry for him, but like the judge said- just in disbelief and sad. I could listen to that judge speak for hours. What a career he must have had. 🙏
I know, I had to replay it, to be sure that was what I heard. I can’t imagine being able to leave the house for any reason, if my family members had been murdered.
Judge Clifton Newman is a boss, he totally dismantled Murdaugh's house of lies during the original double murder sentencing, and was just as impressive here. I wish him a long and happy retirement. He was an absolute credit to the Bench.
I feel like he’s way worse than Walt ever was he never even considered killing his family + I felt like Walt was a more of a sociopath than a psychopath but Alex is 100% a psycho
I think the judge was very deliberate in what he said. Firstly, his length of time in the justice system which allows him to make judgement about the psychopathy of Murdaugh being empty of sympathy for his prey. His mention of Murdaugh whooping it up at a party only a few short months after he killed his family. Likening Murdaugh to a cop killer who received the death sentence, suggesting perhaps that is what Murdaugh really deserved. He mentions that Murdaugh will have many years in prison to help his inmates. Very clever judge to say much more than it seems. Even undercutting the good image Murdaugh was trying to make for himself in his soliloquy of love for his family.
I feel for Judge Newman because he saw what the rest saw and thought they knew in a time before Alex showed his true self. The Judge’s words were important because it gives some feeling to those victims that Alex fooled them but they are not fools because he too was fooled. It was extremely poignant and much needed.
First and most importantly, I would like to recognize you Judge Newman.. You are a true person with a gentle soul..you are a example of living a good and honest life. Thank you for your service. Murdaugh...a lost soul.
His son Paul boat accident got him and his mama killed not his dad Alex I think it was done for revenge from boat accident people who thought they was not to get money from the accident
It's truly a shame at what he chose to do, which caused SOOOO many people a TON of pain for his selfish reasons! Both in these cases and in the case of him killing his own wife and son! He had it all, and threw it all away for no reason!
I’ll bet there’s a story to be told. Alec is just not giving it up. This judge should really not ramble on like this. It’s not about him or HIS opinion.
Two words....GREED and SOCIOPATH! They cannot be cured. And they are EVERYWHERE in our society. Hopefully we will learn from this case study in sociopathy. Everyone has met or knows people like Alex. Dangerous man. Not all sociopaths become psychopaths. But all psychopaths ARE sociopaths.
Alex knows what to say and how to say it because he is a Master Manipulator! I think when he cries, he is crying for himself and the fact that he got caught.
This is so sad for so many people. What is being done to recover the money that Murdaugh stole. Surely he did not spend it all. There has to be a paper trail!
I think it's all gone. He was well in the hole before the murders took place. Couldn't begin to come up with the penalties he was going to face when Paul took his little boat ride. I think i heard that everything else has been placed in the name of his surviving son to deal with whatever issues exist. So, some people will get some back and just as many won't.
The judge is a compassionate and fair servant of the people. Maybe he managed to reach Alex's soul,but it's hard to say. Happy retirement, Judge Newman.
@@mobutterflies3848 i would, apparently he's a good lawyer, he killed somebody and did some bad business deals, nothing to do with any legal malpractice
Judge Newman was struggling to even find the words, it was probably difficult for the judge to accept the fact that there are no words.....may God always Bless Judge Newman.
There's an absence of love when you live a life out of fear. Fear of losing something that makes you feel as though that something will give you a greater sense of who you are. Yet, that's not what love is. The more of an impact it has on you, the less you feel a sincere love for others. I believe that is the absence that Judge Newman is referring to.
This is a really good comment and I think it really sums up what happened to Alex. The first small mistake just leads to more to cover up and eventually your mind is only living in fear and you do lose the ability to love. His mind became a hamster wheel of non stop anxiety.
People in power prey on others all the time. They like to think they don’t but even thinking they have power isn’t humility. The man was raised without struggle so he was going to do whatever he could to make sure he didn’t struggle & if that meant betraying the world that was what he was going to do. Preaching to him is wasted breath and time. Lock him up & throw away the key!
😅 wow what a thoughtful judge. Alex Murdock a predator who had all the advantages that the average person hasn't had. It was interesting the judge telling him to help others. I can't see that happening he never helped anymore else but himself. Drugs are no excuse. This is, this monsters character to exploit for his own wants. Enjoy your retirement judge you certainly earned it
I think it generates appreciation for the judge (in the hearts) of the victims to hear him admonish such a low down criminal, who once commanded respect in the community. He will never have it again!
The law firm let it slide when Alex was caught having stolen his brother’s check. They could have looked into things more closely after that. That is a lesson for all of us. Many years ago, I was fooled by a work colleague, I didn’t think to look past some minor transgressions, which proved to be the tip of a sordid iceberg of crimes. I will never let that happen again.
When will we learn that we don’t know what people are capable of doing? There are more people than we realize who don’t have the capacity for compassion or empathy. I don’t want to be cynical but society needs to be aware and prepared for the reality that some people are emotionally empty. I respect this judge but he is naive in his comments to Alex Murdaugh about being an empty person.
You're absolutely right. I didn't know about these kind of people until about four years ago - and as you said, it's very important to know! I think awareness is growing and that (hopefully) will help people educate themselves about the dangers of this personality disorder.
I think the hope comes from how much more openly this is being talked about now vs in the past, and that there's so many more educational resources out there now. Awareness is half the battle.
@@kcampos5619 No, you're right. Emptiness is one thing. Soulessness is another. I think that's what the judge actually meant. Lack of remorse, lack of empathy, lack of genuine feeling for others - lack of a soul. That kind of emptiness is psychopathy.
Love this judge, and his empathy. But I find it strange that a man could commit all those crimes and only get 27 years, whereas if someone committed armed robbery of a bank, they would get sentenced to more years.
I love that Judge Newman does not draw a distinction between this and violent crimes. Because of Alex a family lost their home at the threat of violence. If you can't pay your mortgage or rent law enforcement will come and remove you with force if necessary so it's the same thing as being robbed at gun point. They're just as homeless and just as violated. Meanwhile the same bank that took the victims home is loaning Alex tons of money and not charging him a dime when he's delinquent on his payments. 😡
I don't want you to retire judge respectfully. You are so good I've seen you in a couple cases now you are so fair you tell it how it is with such calmness and yet such Grace n class. We need more like you
Judge Newman I wish you a happy and pleasant retirement. I have saw your work over the past few years and you are without question one of the best i have seen... Doubt you will see this but i wish you well.
Sell his properties and all his worthy goods then make him work for nothing to at least make some kind of repayment to the victims. What is 27 years going to mean to him when he’s already doing life.
I'll tell you what good it is. There is a good chance they are going to give Alex Murdaugh a new trial for murdering his wife and son. He may even be acquitted. But now.... he will not be leaving prison.
This judge deserves an award from the @AmericanBarAssociation. I look forward to this man's thoughtful writings in retirement - if he chooses to do this. "People have gotten ten years for shoplifting in this state." Thanks to this lovely judge. @ClevelandState #CSULawSchool should be very very proud. #OhioStateBar @AssociationofAmericanLawSchools.
Judge Newman…you Rock Sir! So glad you were able to foresee the totality of this case! Blessing to you and your sweet wife and family be with you all❣️ Happy Retirement Judge Newman enjoy every bite of it Sir!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙💙💙🙏🏾🙏🏾
You must have missed the televised two month trial earlier this past year along with the countless reports, interviews, documentaries, media content, etc. THIS sentencing is for financial crimes ONLY, not the murders.
Psychopaths are never unhappy. They're always busy plotting without fear. Notice he has no stress on his face. He's planning on getting off on the murders and getting out on parole.
Judge Clifton Newman, you are a top notch judge. Thank you for your service, sir, and happy retirement.

Impressive. No victims’ families should have to listen to that, no matter what.
Isn't he the head of SC Supreme Court?
And he stands there with the same smug, narcissistic attitude as usual. Good riddance! Enjoy your retirement judge Newman, you have served well.
Agreed. Only a narcissist could sit there and smile and nod.

I don’t want to be cynical but society needs to be aware and prepared for the reality that some people are emotionally empty. I respect this judge but he is naive in his comments to Alex Murdaugh about being an empty person.
You're absolutely right. I didn't know about these kind of people until about four years ago - and as you said, it's very important to know!
I think awareness is growing and that (hopefully) will help people educate themselves about the dangers of this personality disorder.
I think the hope comes from how much more openly this is being talked about now vs in the past, and that there's so many more educational resources out there now. Awareness is half the battle.
@@m0L3ify I like your positivity!
Seems to me the point is that not all people who are empty inside take advantage of others and commit heinous crimes.
@@kcampos5619 No, you're right. Emptiness is one thing. Soulessness is another. I think that's what the judge actually meant. Lack of remorse, lack of empathy, lack of genuine feeling for others - lack of a soul. That kind of emptiness is psychopathy.
This excuse for a human put on his act yet again today. All as ammunition to get his retrial.
Love this judge, and his empathy. But I find it strange that a man could commit all those crimes and only get 27 years, whereas if someone committed armed robbery of a bank, they would get sentenced to more years.
Judge Newman you are an amazing human being ❤❤❤ Enjoy your retirement.... you will be deeply missed in the judicial system ❤
Might as well he said Life imprisonment
The way I just SCREAMED!🤣😆🤣
Such a fine judge. You've earned a good rest. I hope you have a very long and happy retirement.
I love that Judge Newman does not draw a distinction between this and violent crimes. Because of Alex a family lost their home at the threat of violence. If you can't pay your mortgage or rent law enforcement will come and remove you with force if necessary so it's the same thing as being robbed at gun point. They're just as homeless and just as violated. Meanwhile the same bank that took the victims home is loaning Alex tons of money and not charging him a dime when he's delinquent on his payments. 😡
This judge has so much empathy
27 years for killing his son and wife? That seems way too short.
He has life without parole for killing them (he was already sentenced for that) and now 27 years for his financial crimes..
OH! Thank you. Makes way more sense.

Thank you for your honorable service.
I don't want you to retire judge respectfully. You are so good I've seen you in a couple cases now you are so fair you tell it how it is with such calmness and yet such Grace n class. We need more like you
What a lovely human being Judge Newman is. A very powerful insightful delivery of this dangerous man.
This judge was erudite, balanced and spoke from his heart. Incredible summary of an extremely complicated and sad case. Happy retirement sir. 🙏❤️
This was SO intense to watch. The judge can talk! 👌🏻
Good observation of him….EMPTY!
Judge Newman I wish you a happy and pleasant retirement. I have saw your work over the past few years and you are without question one of the best i have seen... Doubt you will see this but i wish you well.
Sell his properties and all his worthy goods then make him work for nothing to at least make some kind of repayment to the victims. What is 27 years going to mean to him when he’s already doing life.
I'll tell you what good it is. There is a good chance they are going to give Alex Murdaugh a new trial for murdering his wife and son. He may even be acquitted. But now.... he will not be leaving prison.
They’ve already sold off all his property and all the cheated have been paid back plus extra.
Judge - is stone cold - right on - professional- respectable …
Aren't there going to be more trials in other jurisdictions?
Sometimes the death penalty makes a whole lot of sense
Oh look at Alex/Alec just standing there all smug thinking he knows more than everyone else. Good riddance! Enjoy your retirement, Judge!
This judge deserves an award from the @AmericanBarAssociation. I look forward to this man's thoughtful writings in retirement - if he chooses to do this.
"People have gotten ten years for shoplifting in this state."
Thanks to this lovely judge. @ClevelandState #CSULawSchool should be very very proud. #OhioStateBar @AssociationofAmericanLawSchools.
Why is he allowed to have a pen?
God bless Judge Newman, we need more Judges like him ❤
Judge Newman…you Rock Sir! So glad you were able to foresee the totality of this case! Blessing to you and your sweet wife and family be with you all❣️
Happy Retirement Judge Newman enjoy every bite of it Sir!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙💙💙🙏🏾🙏🏾
he is A Heatless person
27 yrs for stealing millions, brutally killing his wife, his own son, his maid, an a high school teenager. talk about "getting away with Murder".
You must have missed the televised two month trial earlier this past year along with the countless reports, interviews, documentaries, media content, etc. THIS sentencing is for financial crimes ONLY, not the murders.
Psychopaths are never unhappy. They're always busy plotting without fear. Notice he has no stress on his face. He's planning on getting off on the murders and getting out on parole.
