Defense lawyers in the double murder trial of disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh want jurors to believe the crime scene can’t tell them much about the deaths of his wife and son because state agents did a poor job investigating
at a killing tells the story even if no one else does.
Murdaugh, 54, is accused of killing his wife, Maggie, 52, and their 22-year-old son, Paul, at kennels near their home on June 7, 2021, as the once-prominent attorney's. Murdaugh has denied any role in the fatal shootings. He faces 30 years to life if convicted. “It’s a crime scene. You don’t want water dripping all over the place. But more importantly, I thought it was pretty disrespectful," Murdaugh's former law partner Mark Ball testified.
Prosecutor John Meadors told one of the experts that the investigators did the best they could under the circumstances.He was the 72nd witness of the five-week trial. But everyone perked up Thursday when Alex Murdaugh headed to the witness stand.“I did not kill Maggie, and I did not kill Paul. I would never hurt Maggie, and I would never hurt Paul — ever — under any circumstances," Murdaugh said.
