around that time, until he took the stand. chris? we will play a little bit of the sound. the attorney general spoke at the press conference after the announcement of that verdict. take a listen. it is a good day in south carolina. yes it is. yes it. is today s voting proves that no one, no one, no matter who you are in society, is above the law. katie, to the point ellison just, made there was no smoking gun, no physical evidence. but to an extent there was one, i think for people that just loosely follow the case, it was the fact that he told investigators he was not at the scene of the murder, and then later it turned out that he was, and he had been lying about that. there was a pretty tough thing to recover from from a credibility perspective. yeah, i wrote a piece, chris, because you guys remember that movie the devils advocate? canneries gets up and says his train was quite was charged with murder he s or philanderer,
control situation, the weapon can be the whole group of people, and they become into this, they can potentially come into a high minded situation where they become ravenous. that s actually what happened. we actually see ashli babbitt on video. you see her acting like she s a rabbit animal. she s unable to control herself, to the point where she didn t see the fact that there was stacked furniture trying to impede the movement of humans to get through that. she clearly know what was happening. and she could not even help herself at this point. you have been very outspoken about your experience that day and about how determined you were to make sure that the peaceful, not peaceful transfer of power happened, nonetheless, i guess am i overstating the case, talking about this weird wink wink imagine i d. i think if you privately paul most republican members of congress are horrified on one hypotenuse x. they re horrified about what happened upon pelosi, things like that. but it does see
uncovered. he was caught lying to investigators and a jury found him guilty on all charges. sentencing begins tomorrow morning. murdaugh faces 30 to life in prison without parole. i m joined now by katie fang, former prosecutor and emerson host of the katie phang show. this was a captivating case. it read like a john grisham novel. the dog channel, the site of the murder and the hunting ground of this sort of like old southern family. but fundamentally, were you surprised, given there was no specific physical evidence, that linked murdaugh to the murders of the quickness with which this jury returned a guilty verdict? absolutely, chris, because this entire case was centered on the circumstantial evidence. there was no confession by the defendant in this case. there was no actual blood or dna or fingerprint evidence that linked alec murdaugh to the double homicides. but ultimately what you saw was a redact rejection by the jury of multiple defenses raised by alex murdaugh. they looked
