wasn t on it, and then ten witnesses testified that was his voice. finally, he sat there listening to all that testimony and figure, he better get on that stand and say, okay. that s me i think also that 9-1-1 call was really important, we did hear a little clip of it in that story. that s important because a long time law partner alec murdaugh, you hear him on the 9-1-1 call. you hear him on there saying i check them both. i check their pulse, he says that later to investigators. mark ball, a friend, a fellow law partner testified that, alex murdaugh kept changing his story to him, one day, he told me check maggie first, then he told him another day he told him he checked paul first. that was really critical. there were inconsistencies, and also the gps data that came in very late, on star data being given to the prosecution very late in their case, in the last couple days, showed that alec murdaugh arrived at the kennels, anderson, just 20 seconds before calling 9-1-1. the question
as he told the 9-1-1 operator. later, investigators could have done all of that in 20 seconds? that was a lot for the jury, i think, because that was a real inconsistency there, hard for them to comprehend how we could ve done all that. in just those 20 seconds once they saw that gps data. yeah, that s incredibly damning. i want to play that 9-1-1 call which he talked about. i need the police. my wife and child are they breathing? no, ma am. okay, you said your wife and your son? my wife and my son. what is your name? my name is alex murdaugh. it s so interesting, hearing this now, realizing he actually did in a jury has said, he killed his wife and son. to hear him getting himself into the head space where he could make a call like this. and try to sound as authentic as possible. yeah, and you actually hear,
listening to all that testimony, he figured he better get on that stand and say, okay, that s me. i think also that 911 call was really important. we heard a clip of it in that story. and that s important because mark ball, a longtime law partner of alex murdaugh s, you hear him on the 911 call, alex murdaugh saying, i checked them both, i checked their pulse. he says that later to investigators. mark ball, a friend, a fellow law partner, testified murdaugh kept changing his story. one day he checked magfy girs, another day he checked paul first. that was critical because there were inconsistencies. the gps data that came in, gm onstar data being given to the prosecution late in their case showed that alex murdaugh arrived at the kennels just 20 seconds before calling 911. so the question is if he checked, ran to paul, ran to maggie, he tried to turn paul over a couple of times as he told the 911 operator, and later investigators, could he have done all of that in 20 seconds?
over my shoulder where they re still a bit of a gathering in the background in the state prosecutors they came out to address the public are. the big message we heard from the lead prosecutor, craig waters, we this verdict sends a message to the world that it does not matter who your family is, it does not matter how powerful you are if you behave badly, if you break the law, if you kill your family, justice will be served in the state of south carolina. and they say that s exactly what happened tonight. alex murdaugh has maintained throughout this he has nothing to do with his crime. but what the prosecution focused so closely on was a really carefully crafted timeline that was really all about technology. they used cell phone data from paul murdaugh, maggie murdaugh, and gps data that they pulled from alex murdaugh s car, a key thing inexcusable and difficult for alec murdaugh to explain when he was on the stand, why he was at the kennels at 8:44 pm that night, five minutes before pr
one of things complain ed about was the phone would have had her gps data if they processed it within five days. and because they didn t, the gps data got overridden. it would have been helpful. fingerprints, footprints, all things that weren t done so he s entitled to his opinion. ten days we ll be filing an appeal. you re listening to defense attorneys for alex murdaugh who was sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars for murdering his wife and son. diane gallagher is on the scene for us near the courthouse. the defense attorneys here raising questions, even though they lost this case about the
