'There is only one person who had the motive, who had the means, who had the opportunity to commit these crimes, and also whose guilty conduct after these crimes betrays him,' prosecutor Creighton Waters told the jury during closing arguments.

Prosecutors in the murder trial of disbarred South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh painted him as a"family annihilator" who killed his family to evade public knowledge of financial crimes during their closing arguments on Wednesday.

The trial has lasted more than 25 days, with prosecutors offering testimony from 61 witnesses and hundreds of pieces of evidence. During closing arguments, Waters devoted most of his time pointing to Murdaugh admitting to police that he lied about his whereabouts the night of the murders. "The forensic timeline puts him there. The use of his family weapons corroborates that," he added."And his lies and his guilty actions afterward confirms it."
