Prosecutors sought to convince the jury that Murdaugh used the killings of his wife and son as a way to halt investigations into his alleged financial crimes
that he lied to authorities about his whereabouts the night of the murders, but claims he was “nowhere near” his wife and son “when they got shot.”
“He wouldn’t even admit until he was forced to that he was at the scene,” Waters told the jury. “And then he’s as busy as he’ll ever be.” “She heard that shot and was running to her baby when she got mowed down by the only person that we have conclusive proof was at that scene just minutes before,” said Waters.
Earlier Wednesday, jurors were given more than an hour to visit the outdoor estate where Margaret and Paul’s bodies were found, per. The concrete pad where Paul fell after being shot twice by a shotgun was visible, while bullet holes in a back window were still visible, per the report.
