In the wake of the new Netflix series Murdaugh Murders and the recent testimony of Alex Murdaugh, people are now turning their attention to the lesser-known member of the Murdaugh family: John Marvin.
John Marvin is the older brother of Alex Murdaugh, the disgraced South Carolina lawyer whose family has been at the center of a shocking series of events involving multiple murders and a vast web of criminal activity.

While Alex Murdaugh has been the focus of much media attention in recent months, his older brother has largely remained out of the spotlight. However, recent revelations about Alex’s activities have brought John Marvin into the public eye.
Who is John Marvin?
Like his younger brother, John Marvin is a lawyer. He graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1988 and has been practicing law ever since. He is a partner at Peters, Murdaugh, Parker, Eltzroth & Detrick, a law firm that has been in the Murdaugh family for generations.
John Marvin has kept a low profile throughout his career, and little is known about his personal life. However, he has been involved in a number of high-profile cases over the years. In 2015, he represented a man who was charged with murdering a police officer, and in 2017, he represented a woman who was accused of killing her husband.

According to sources close to the family, John Marvin is deeply troubled by the events that have unfolded in recent months. He is said to be concerned about the impact that his brother’s actions will have on the family’s reputation and legacy.
