Waters opened the trial with three minutes of graphic description of the scene where the bodies of Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and her son, Paul, 22, were found shot with at least one bullet to the head by two different guns, pointing to Paul Murdaugh’s head and calling it “catastrophic damage.”Harpootlian added even more gruesome details – how the shotgun blast that killed Paul Murdaugh was so close to his head that his brain exploded from his skull and was found at his feet.
This trial is the bottom of a stunningly far and fast downfall for the man whose family dominated the legal system in tiny neighbouring Hampton County for generations, both as prosecutors and private attorneys known for getting life-changing settlements for accidents and negligence cases.Article content
Waters said a video on Paul Murdaugh’s cellphone has the voices of him, Maggie and Alex Murdaugh in it. Less than five minutes later, Paul Murdaugh’s phone was never used again. Maggie Murdaugh’s phone “locks forever” about 30 seconds later, Waters said.
