Netflix’s ‘Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal’ Is a Shocking Story of Unbridled Privilege

It’s no secret that the justice system of the United States is anything but just.

Privilege, race, and social status all play a major part in the sentence that someone might receive for committing a crime in this country.

Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal is a tale of addiction, violence, and tragedy.

This tragedy happened when a heavily intoxicated Paul Murdaugh drove the boat into a bridge piling after attending a party with his friends.
