Alex Murdaugh denied he was anywhere near where his wife, Maggie, and 22-year-old son, Paul, were brutally killed. But it was one of his victims -- his son -- who would provide key proof after his death that legal experts ultimately led to his father's conviction.
For a year and a half, Alex Murdaugh denied he was anywhere near where his wife, Maggie, and 22-year-old son, Paul, were brutally killed.
The key proof came from a video, which Paul recorded moments before he was gunned down and killed. It appeared to show one of the family's dogs near the kennels on their property. It also captured Alex Murdaugh's voice in the background -- and placed him at the scene of the crime. "This was a circumstantial evidence case but what people have to understand is that circumstantial evidence is just as powerful as direct evidence," South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who was part of the prosecuting team, said Friday. "I think the kennel video hung him."
Colleton County Coroner Richard Harvey testified he estimated Maggie and Paul's time of death to be around 9 p.m. -- though he said it's possible the pair could have been shot any time between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
