national tension for the local stature of the defendant gets grazed south carolina tierney murdaugh and the depravity of his from slaughtering his wife and son. the trial ended, as you see, they re with murdaugh in cuffs taken back to jail with sentencing tomorrow after a remarkably speedy verdict, just three hours of deliberation. then this. guilty verdict. a verdict, guilty, verdict, guilty, verdict guilty. guilty on all four counts, including two counts of murder, in just a short time ago prosecutors including south carolina s attorney general spoke to reporters. justice was done today, it doesn t matter who your family is, it does not matter how much money you have, or people think you have. it does not matter what you think, how prominent you are, if you do wrong, if you break the law, if you murder, justice will be done and south carolina. kristen waters, the prosecutor about three hours was coming. now before we talk about details of the testimony, and what com
what did he say? he said that his number one goal was clearing paul s name. [crying] i thought that was so strange. my number one goal was to find out who killed my sister and paul. and alex was he grieving? terribly. would you describe described as being destroyed? would you agree with that assessment? yes. maggie murdaugh s sister, marianne proctor. it s interesting, she was saying that alec was saying his number one goal is to clear paul s name. again, there is video from the hospital the night of the boat accident, where a teenager has been killed. then the evidence suggests that paul was at the wheel of alex murdaugh with his father, going
lied many times. maggie asked me to go to the candles with her. and i wasn t going to go. i said, i m not going to go. how long after she left did you go down there? it was very quickly. out of the golf cart to do that? i did. and you go walk to where it was? well, yeah. a few feet. but i did that, yes. how long did that take? seconds. where a 46 now, how long that? take seconds. just seconds? all right. what did you do after that? got back on the golf course. did i get on the golf court and leave that second, probably not. did i get on the golf cart and leave very quickly? you would agree with me that from nine or 2 to 9 or six, your phone finally comes to life and start showing a lot of steps. i do agree with that. what were you doing? i was getting ready to go to
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
they are pathetically said. just the long silences, they re very little to say to each other. the whole thing is just tragic, obviously. look, there s no right to privacy in prison. these calls are constantly recorded. it s interesting, that s part of it. because we get to see the dynamic. what s interesting to me, anderson, and what government to be looking forward when the jurors are actually interviewed, they may very well say, look, we don t know if that was the motive, nor do we even give it that much weight. what we do know is, he s the guy that did it. and at the end of the day, that s what matters. because every lawyer will tell you, motive just doesn t have to be proven, it s not an element of the crime, yes, inquiring minds jurors want to know, but you don t have to establish that. i just want to hear what they have to say about that motivation. maggie murdaugh sister took the stand, marion proctor was her name, i want to play some of her testimony. she loved her family
