in the fatal shootings of his wife, Maggie, 52, and their 22-year-old son, Paul, who were killed near kennels on their property on June 7, 2021. In his testimony, Murdaugh continued to staunchly deny any role in the killings.
The once-prominent attorney had told police that he was napping and did not go to the kennels before leaving the house to visit his ailing mother in another town. But several witnesses testified that they believed they heard Murdaugh's voice along with his son and wife on cellphone video taken at the kennels about five minutes before the shootings. It took investigators more than a year to hack into Paul Murdaugh's iPhone and find the video.
He said that, after returning home from visiting his mother, neither his wife nor his son was in the house. After several minutes, Murdaugh said, he drove his SUV to the kennels where he said he last saw them. He told Griffin several times that he urged investigators to get GPS data from his SUV or his wife's phone that would exonerate him. Earlier defense testimony suggested state agents waited too long to get that information from Maggie Murdaugh's device and it was overwritten for the night of the killings.
He’ll do fine in prison.
Guilty 💯✔️
Prosecutors are terrible. 🤦🏻♂️
Fake crying, often about himself; poor actor; lacks empathy unless rehearsed; consider his financial crimes. He's not a good person and IMO he's guilty.
Hi CBS 👋, still dodging this story. Some drunk white college girl must have made a racial slur somewhere, so this got bumped I guess 🤡
Jail time. Another crooked lawyer
I watched about 10 minutes of him lying his butt of on the stand. The only question I have is, do the have the death penalty there?

Alex Murdaugh trial: Murder charges against the disgraced South Carolina legal scionA Colleton County grand jury in 2022 indicted Alex Murdaugh on four counts in connection with his wife and son's murders. These are the charges against him. If he didn’t pull the trigger than he knows who did. Shame Prosecutor is single handedly destroying this case. So glad Fox is carrying this entire trial live. I think it was a brilliant decision for Alex Murdaugh to testify on his own behalf. He's smart, extremely articulate. Yes He's a scoundrel and a self admitted liar but I dont see him as a cold blooded killer. Love for his family
