0:00.0	Well, we are following this breaking news out of South Carolina.
0:04.1	Alec Murdof found guilty on all four counts of murdering his son, Paul Murdo, who was 22 years old,
0:12.8	and his wife Maggie, who was 52 years old.
0:16.7	Let's bring in our Nikki Batiste, who has been covering this trial since since the beginning and is at the courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina.

1:28.5	22-year-old son, Paul. Nora?
1:31.6	Nikki Beteased, thank you so much. Let's bring in CBS News legal analyst. Jessica Levinson,
1:37.3	who has been following this trial gavel to gavel. And Jessica, so good to have you.
1:43.4	You probably followed it a lot closer than I did,
1:45.8	but my understanding, there was no murder weapon, there were no witnesses, so they tried,
