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
