I can imagine, I really can’t imagine. I knew it had to have been quite *** bit going through your mind on that day. But amazingly to have you come and testify that it was just another ordinary day that my wife and son and I were out just enjoying life, not credible, not believable. You can convince yourself about it, but obviously you have the inability to convince anyone else about that. So if you made any such arguments as *** lawyer, you would lose every case like that cases. You will never have an opportunity to argue anymore, except perhaps your own. As you sit in the department of corrections, anything further. Mr Murdoch, I sentence you to the State Department of corrections on each of the murder indictments in the murder of your wife Maggie murdock. I sentence you for the term of the rest of your natural life for the murder of paul. Murder whom you probably love so much. I sentence you to prison for murdering him for the rest of your natural life. Those sentences will run consecutive under the statute involving possession of *** weapon during *** violent crime. There is no sentence where life *** life sentence is imposed on other indictments. That is the sentence of the court and you are remanded to the State Department of corrections
