New testimony on Thursday at Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial included revelations about his alleged infidelity, as well as details on what the family knew about his supposed addiction to prescription drugs.
. Facing imminent discovery of his misdeeds from an office investigation and the boat crash lawsuit, he allegedly murdered the pair in a bid to buy himself time and sympathy.
During arguments between attorneys to the judge without the jury in the courtroom, Proctor said that around 2007 Maggie had forced Alex to leave their home for a period because she had come to believe he’d been unfaithful. But after taking roughly 15 minutes to consider the matter in his chambers, Judge Clifton Newman ruled that the jury should not hear from Proctor about the alleged infidelity because it had occurred too long ago and would be confusing.
In September 2021, months after the killings, Alex’s law firm partners forced him to resign when they discovered he’d been stealing from them and their clients. The very next day, he allegedly hired a contract killer to fatally shoot him by the side of an isolated road so that Buster would receive a multimillion-dollar insurance payout. But the plan failed when he was only slightly injured by the shooter, and Alex and his alleged accomplice were soon charged with insurance fraud.
“Over the course of a few weeks, we were still on high alert, worried for Buster, but at that point, information started coming out about some things that Alex had done financially that we had no idea about,” Proctor added.
