Jurors will visit crime scene site in Alex Murdaugh trial

Lawyers for the disgraced South Carolina attorney asked for the trip to the Colleton County property called Moselle so that the jury can see the dog kennels near where the body of 52-year-old Maggie Murdaugh was found and the storage room where 22-year-old Paul Murdaugh was killed on June 7, 2021.

Defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said Monday that it's important for jurors to visit the Murdaugh home to see “how small the feed room is ” and “where the feed room is compared to Maggie's body.”Prosecutors told the judge that they didn't want the jury to visit because it has been 20 months since the killings and it looks different.

“If anything, that would require additional testimony because the scene is different,” Waters said on the trial's 25th day.
