WIth Alex Murdaugh's murder trial nearing its end, legal experts who have participated in some of America's most high-profile cases examine key questions that have loomed over the proceeding.

With Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial nearing its end, legal experts who have participated in some of America’s most high-profile cases joined CNN Wednesday night to examine key questions that have loomed over the proceeding, including whether Murdaugh’s admission of lying to investigators could help or hurt his case.

They have built their case in large part using video, photos, and cell phone and location data to try to convince the jury that Murdaugh is lying about his actions that night. “The prosecution, to get their conviction, has got to do away with – to exclude – every reasonable hypothesis of innocence,” said criminal defense lawyer Mark O’Mara, who represented the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in 2012. Prosecutors have hinged their case on the video recorded around the kennels on Paul’s phone.

Where was the older son when the murder happened? Is his where abouts proven? Could he and his father have done it together? Ive got a gut feeling.

I think it was a big mistake for Alex to take the stand in his own defence. Maybe he thought he could fool the jury like he did many of his clients. A master manipulator who was overconfident in his ability to deceive.

This story is so tired. Stop glorifying this crap. Whether he did it or not, it shouldn’t be a public spectacle. Creating the spectacle makes everything worse afterwards no matter the outcome. Just stop.

Relieving a juror this am in front of everyone on the court ( although iff camera) How strange. Why not do this in Chambers?

WHO ACTISLLY CARES FOR THIS B.S

The lack of motive will hurt the prosecution. Personally I think he's guilty, but I'm not sure if the prosecution proved his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Let’s give him a 2nd chance. He seems very nice.

He did it. End of story.

Entitled southern family accustomed to privilege and non accountability. The dynasty has been into high profile law enforcement over a century. Imagine what else is still hidden.

Alex Murdaugh trial: Prosecution to present rebuttal case; jurors may visit crime sceneProsecutors are scheduled to call at least four witness in their rebuttal case Tuesday at Alex Murdaugh's double-murder trial in Walterboro, South Carolina. Fox News put Mike Lindell on their network in 2020, KNOWING that he was LYING, because they knew it was the easiest way to make money off of their rage-fueled base. Just letting y'all know, since they obviously never will 😉 If two shooters, his drug dealer “cousin Eddie” ( who also shot Murdaugh at his own request) needs to be investigated. But why were his brother and friends cleaning up the remains of the victims? There are teams who do this.
