The verdict is being read in the Alex Murdaugh murder trial.
Jurors found Alex Murdaugh guilty of the double murder of his wife and the couple's youngest son.
The Colleton County trial has now stretched into its sixth week with more than 70 witnesses taking the stand. "They went from Mr. Bloody shirt leading up to this trial to Mr. Clean during this trial," Griffin quipped. Besides, the attorney said, Murdaugh didn't need the diversion when his father was gravely ill and died three days after the murders.
Griffin conceded, as Murdaugh did on the stand, that his client lied repeatedly about being at the kennels that night. "What if the source is a member of a dangerous drug gang?" asked Griffin, eliciting an objection that was sustained. "On behalf of Alex, on behalf of Buster, on behalf of Maggie and on behalf of my friend, Paul, I respectfully request that you do not compound a family tragedy with another. Thank you," he said capping off a two-hour summation.Assistant Attorney General John Meadors delivered the state's rebuttal argument — the final word at Murdaugh's double murder trial.
