Jurors in Alex Murdaugh's double-murder trial will be allowed to visit the family's sprawling estate in South Carolina where Murdaugh's wife and son were shot dead.

The judge did not set a date for the viewing, but it will have to come in the next few days as the trial nears its end. Defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said in court the defense expects to rest by the end of Monday, and the prosecution said it will have a few further rebuttal witnesses afterward, with the aim to move to closing arguments on Wednesday.

That's because the prosecution pointed to a huge question throughout the trial that he had to answer: Multiple witnesses identified Murdaugh's voice in a video clip filmed at the family's dog kennels, which authorities say was recorded shortly before the killings and near where the bodies were found.

Much of the prosecution's evidence -- featuring 61 witnesses over three weeks -- focused on his alleged financial wrongdoing and what they said was the suspicious timing of the killings. Second, Murdaugh was facing a lawsuit from the family of Mallory Beach, a 19-year-old who was killed in February 2019 when a boat, owned by Murdaugh and allegedly driven by his son Paul, crashed. A hearing in that civil case was scheduled for June 10, 2021, and had the potential to reveal his financial problems, prosecutors argued, but it was delayed after the killings.
