Alex Murdaugh's legal team says they will address the media after the sentencing hearing
From CNN's Dianne Gallagher
Alex Murdaugh's legal team says it will not be commenting prior to
the sentencing hearing, which will take place Friday at 9:30 a.m. ET.
"The expectation for that press conference is for it to occur about an hour after the completion of the sentencing hearing but more specifics will be provided tomorrow morning," Murdaugh's legal team said in an email.
Following the sentencing hearing tomorrow, defense attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin will be addressing the media, according to the legal team.
"This will occur in front of the Colleton County Courthouse," the email read.
A jury Thursday found Murdaugh guilty of the murder of his wife and son. Jurors deliberated for less than three hours.
The disgraced South Carolina attorney was convicted on all four counts that he was facing — two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon in the commission of a violent crime.
