Alex Murdaugh's comments to police about his whereabouts around the time his wife and son were fatally shot may not have been accurate, according to video evidence presented by prosecutors Friday at the South Carolina attorney's murder trial.
Prosecutors said the cellphones of both victims stopped being used about four minutes after the son’s video.
Prosecutor John Meadors asked Rutland if she saw blood on Murtaugh’s hands, arms, shirt, shorts or shoes. She said no several times.“Yes he is,” Rutland said, describing what Murdaugh was wearing. “I can’t say that for sure. A lot of things would come into play to say that. Distance is one of them,” Rutland said.
The investigators questioned him gently and Murdaugh cooperated whenever asked, telling them they could look at anything and talk to anyone. When asked, he cautiously shared the names of people he thought might have reason to kill his son.ADVERTISEMENT
