wife and son to hide financial crimes. the prosecutor is seeking to go after alex on this comes back to the notion that he did have a motive, he did have a reason and he did have a world that was closing in on him as again, the details of his financial improprieties and embezzling were coming to life and known by his wife and indirectly by his own son and the separate drugs issue, this break will be about 15 minutes or so. i want to get the read from ted williams what he makes of this argument that the prosecutor is making. that this storm got to the point that he did what he did and he outlined the storm. but it dragged on awhile. he s trying to map the storm out for the jury. how do you think it went? you know, neil, i think mr. waters has put on a compelling case here by the prosecution here. he has laid out a road map for this jury to be able to follow. you know, you have to ask yourself, when is alex murdaugh lie something when his lips are moving. i say that to say th
compelling case here by the prosecution here. he has laid out a road map for this jury to be able to follow. you know, you have to ask yourself, when is alex murdaugh lie something when his lips are moving. i say that to say that the testimony in this case has shown that all of anything that alex murdaugh has said could be considered a lie. he himself, alex murdaugh, has admitted that he was a liar on the stand. when you look at the fact that he says that he was not at the kennel and then when they were able to show video of him at the kennel with maggie and paul, all of a sudden when he testifies, he said you know what? i lied to you.
everyone that thought that they knew who he was. he s fooled them all. he fooled maggie and paul, too. and they paid for it with their lives. don t let him fool you, too. on behalf of the state of south carolina, i ask you to return a verdict of guilty against the defendant richard alexander murdaugh for the murderer of his wife, maggie and his son, paul and for his possession of firearms during the commission of those malicious . thank you all for your attention during this long trial.
of guilty conduct and guilty conscious. all four factors are present and maggie and paul deserve a voice. they need a voice because they can to longer speak. this has been a tough job. but the system depend on people that take that oath as jurors and willing to honor that oath and make that tough decision. to vindicate these victims.
after they outed him, alex murdaugh earlier in the day of having stolen money from his law firm, 707,000 at that stage, that all of a sudden he didn t want his family members, meaning maggie and paul, to know about this and he was embarrassed by it, so he goes and kills them. that doesn t make any sense. you d have to think for a second. well, if you didn t want maggie and paul to know about it, wouldn t you not have wanted your other son, buster, to also know about it? so therefore, it seems to me that when you look at the motive in this case, that it is all over the page. i think that it is questionable. guess what? he didn t kill buster. if hi killed anybody, he killed maggie and paul and you would have thought that he would have also wanted to kill buster as a part of this cover up in this embarrassment of having stolen
