Three jurors say Alex Murdaugh didn't help himself by testifying in his own defense against charges he murdered his wife and son.
FILE - Defendant Alex Murdaugh gives testimony during his murder trial at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, S.C., on Feb. 23, 2023. Prosecutors in the case against Murdaugh had no murder weapon or any other direct evidence linking him to the killings of his wife and son. Yet, a jury took less than three hours to convict him thanks, in large part, to the defendant himself. for the murder of his wife and son, three jurors said on Monday.
When he took the stand, the first thing Murdaugh did was admit he had lied to investigators about being at the kennels, saying he was paranoid of law enforcement because he was addicted to opioids and had pills in his pocket the night of the killings.The jury deliberated for less than three hours Thursday before
Murdaugh was convicted in the same court circuit where his father, grandfather and great-grandfather tried cases as the elected prosecutor for more than 80 years. Murdaugh’s family founded the area’s most powerful law firm a century ago. For decades, that meant that practically anyone who ended up in court on either side of the law in Colleton or Hampton counties would have a Murdaugh watching their back or staring them down.“We already know that he’s a lawyer.
Murdaugh admitted stealing millions of dollars from the family firm and clients, saying he needed the money to fund his drug habit. Before he was charged with murder, Murdaugh was in jail awaiting trial on about 100 other charges, ranging from insurance fraud to tax evasion.
