in an attempt to turn the spotlight away from his financial crimes, broke down in court on Thursday as jurors watched graphic body-camera footage of the grisly June 2021 crime scene.
Prosecutors allege that on June 7, 2021, Murdaugh fatally shot his 52-year-old wife, Maggie, and his 22-year-old son, Paul, amid swirling questions about his years-long scheme of allegedly stealing millions from his clients and former law firm. “[Alex Murdaugh] was upset but I did not see any visible tears,” Green said on Thursday, adding that Murdaugh was “nervous, anxious and upset.”
During opening statements on Wednesday, state prosecutor Creighton Waters argued that Murdaugh first murdered his son before turning a gun on his wife in an attempt to gain sympathy from the community and shift the focus away from his financial crimes. “This is a long story. My son was in a boat wreck months back. He’s been getting threats. Most of it was benign. I know that’s what it is,” Murdaugh is heard saying in the body-camera footage. In the recording, Murdaugh sounds upset but does not appear to be crying.
