deal? it is a big deal, and i have to tell you, the evidence that happens to be found by the prosecution near the end of the trial, in the middle of the trial, is the bane of defense attorney s existence. it happens more often than you may think, and it can create chaos in the planning, not only of the state s case but the defense s case because now they re scrambling to refute more circumstantial evidence, evidence that they probably had no opportunity to really prepare for, except for in a huddled group at the defense table. what do we do with this? well, let s just wing it. the problem is that more and more, this data, the gps data, all of the other data, location data, together begins to paint a picture that murdaugh simply cannot alibi himself out of it, and even a lawyer, an arguably successful lawyer, civil lawyer, but still did not anticipate or may not have anticipated all of the data that we all create whenever we do the mundane
property atkennels. but the gps data shows he arrived 20 seconds before that 911 call. did he have time to check the bodies? he said he tried to turn his son over. did he check pulses? that s a lot to do in 20 seconds according to the prosecutors. prosecution wraps up we expect today. randi kaye, thanks so much. sunday night, tune in for low country, the murdaugh dynasty right here on cnn. a court filing revealed some of the most prominent executives at fox privately ridiculed donald trump s 2020 lies pedaling them on air. more on what the documents revealed, next. i would have hired actutually talented people frfrom all over the world.
this could be some crucial information, randi. reporter: yeah, absolutely, victor. it s been fascinating to listen to him. a lot of details. we re talking about investigators analyzing data, and one of the takeaways is when he left his house at 9:06 p.m., it s believed the victims were dead by then. as he was driving to go to his mother s house, as he said, he slowed down, according to the gps data on his car, and he slowed down at the very spot investigators say they found maggie murdaugh s phone in the woods. so this data suggests that perhaps he slowed down to dispose of that phone. also, at some point during the night, he s driving around much faster than he is at other times during the day, about 81 miles per hour was his top speed. there were also questions about the time he spent at his mother s house that night. he s been a real sticking point
trial. there is blood found in his car. and also today, two of the jurors have been tested positive for covid, and they have been replaced by alternates w. goe to randi kaye there. and what is happening there? they are winding up for another big week here, and what is happening? well, the human blood on the steering wheel is yet another confirmation of that from the night of the murders, kate, and that is because of the defense alex murdaugh had touched bodies and then got into the car and drove up to the main house to get a shotgun for his own protection, and that going to explain the blood on the steering wheel. and so there is more from the gps data from his car that night, and the state had gotten a call from general motors saying that they can provide the
gps location that they were not allowed to provide earlier, and the state reached out to them in march of last year, and then the witness testified that they looked at the onstar system, and they could not get the gps data, and now that should be coming this week as well. we talked to a former housekeeper, that they had asked paul and maggie to come to the house on the day of the murder, and she knew exactly what he was wearing that day, and he had hinted to her, if he she was asked by investigators that he was wearing something different. and also, that they were concerned about money, and that they were going to be sued by somebody connected with the boat crash. and he said that we don t
