Alex Murdaugh didn't help his defence when he took the stand at his trial for the murder of his wife and son, three jurors said on Monday.
Murdaugh's testimony only managed to cement what they were already thinking -- that he easily lied and could turn on and off his tears at will, the jurors said on the NBC Today show.
Murdaugh's voice can be heard on the video even though he insisted for 20 months that he hadn't been at the kennels that night. Investigators didn't see the video for more than a year before advances in hacking enabled them to unlock Paul Murdaugh's iPhone. They shared it with the defence ahead of the trial.
The now-disbarred lawyer maintained his innocence when he was sentenced Friday to spend the rest of his life in prison for the murders. Prosecutors decided not to seek the death penalty, and the judge handed down the harshest possible sentence he could -- consecutive life sentences without parole.
