A prosecutor on Friday grilled disgraced South Carolina lawyerover Murdaugh’s theory it was actually social media vigilantes who gunned down his wife and son in retribution for a fatal boat crash.
Under cross-examination, prosecutors eviscerated that theory—namely because Murdaugh has admitted he was with Paul and Maggie until about 8:45 p.m on June 7—about five minutes before the murders—before he returned to the house and fell asleep. His cellphone recorded movement at around 9:02 p.m., when Murdaugh claims he woke up and left to go check on his ailing mother. He says he returned home to find them both dead.
Waters grilled Murdaugh about his dramatic about-face, drawing visible frustration from Murdaugh, who shot back that he’d concealed that detail for so long because prosecutors refused to meet with him and his legal team about it. Murdaugh disputed that but conceded that Thursday was the first time he’d publicly confirmed it was his voice in the video, and he was with Maggie and Paul just before they were killed.
Data showed Paul and Maggie’s phones were unlocked for the final time at 8:49 p.m. Murdaugh left home at 9:07 p.m., he said, with phone records showing he texted Maggie a minute later, “Going to check on Em be rite back.” That include stealing a whopping $3.7 million from clients and partners in 2019 alone—the most of any other year. As Waters questioned Murdaugh for more than 20 minutes about the thefts, Murdaugh became visibly frustrated with the repeated queries, saying he’d already answered many of them.
Murdaugh also revealed Friday just how troubling his opiate addiction was in the years before his wife and son were killed. He said he’d regularly pop more than 60 pills a day—including oxycodone and oxycontin—just to be able to function normally.
This is problem with the media and it isn’t just unique to this — they don’t report the news anymore. They report opinion pieces. Just post the cross and let readers decide for themselves. Also why it’s hard to get a fair trial anymore.
Nice try scumbag, now don't drop the soap...
Drugs? He doesn’t know how many pills a day, he doesn’t know the potency and when he says how many he was taking it’s a ridiculous number. I don’t think he’s an addict at all. Just another lie
White privilege.
Not really
I’m thinking he paid someone to do it.
