It also captured Alex Murdaugh's voice in the background - and placed him at the scene of the crime.
He told the jury that despite his repeated past deceptions, he was honest about one thing: he did not kill his family.And in a case with little to no direct evidence linking Murdaugh to the scene, South Carolina's top prosecutor credited the video clip for the quick conviction by the jury. "As much as you deny, deny, deny being at the kennels, you took the stand because it came out that you were there. Cell phone data put you there, car data put you there, in addition to the fact that your own voice put you there, by virtue of what your son recorded."
