Disbarred South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh was asked point-blank if he murdered his wife and son in a police interview played for jurors Wednesday at his double murder trial.
It was the first time investigators asked Murdaugh directly if he was responsible for the heinous murders.
Murdaugh said it was a surprise that Maggie had shown up that night at Moselle, but her sister told investigators Murdaugh had pressured her to go there.The disbarred attorney told agents he'd left the hunting estate, known as Moselle, a little after 9 p.m. to visit his mother in Almeda for about 45 minutes. It turned out he was only there for 21 minutes.
"Yes," the agent replied, sheepishly. Griffin also zeroed in on the extremely tight timeline for the crime.
