12 to 3 p.m. eastern and don t forget to follow unfiltered facebook instagram ats unfiltered on fox that does it purse here tonight see you tomorrow night at k-89 set your dvr if you can t make live. thanks for tuning in glans good evening america welcome to cross country we have a big shore shore for you tonight in south carolina where the tangle web of the murdaugh murder mystery is unraveled. this week we heard directly from the accused killer himself ppg i did not and would not hurt my wife and my child. so i know for a fact that i never ever, ever created an alibi.
the trial but he has roots in the community. so do you think that he decided to take the stand because of that connection because it s a big risk? well alec murdaugh is fourth generation trial lawyer. and i think having that background he knows that jurors want to hear from the accused. and i think he uses that to his benefit. do you think it was effective because i have to tell you someone that s been following this case. that thinks there s a lot of evidence working against him, that testimony seem convincing. well, the jurors are going to have to make the final decision on this but his basic premise is, i lied about a lot of things but you ve got to believe me on these murder charges. so it s going to be up to the jury on that one. we re going to have an experts on drugs and how it impacts the body. but i think his confession was a
doc i want to go back to you. what type of guy are we dealing with this murdaugh? what do you see as you have watched part of this trial. i think he s someone who seems like he s really suffered and he s had it in a very difficult way. 10% of americans know someone either a friend or a close relative that have overdosed we re still losing 120 americans every day from opioid overdoses so i think it s important to realize that there might be people in that jury that have lost people to opioid overdoses. so i think you know, it s very difficult to give him the benefit of the doubt when he s harm his credibility so much but i think if he s sincere, obviously, is in doubt this very well might be something that, you know, avoids a conviction. yeah. see that s my concern right there. is that there s so many americans we re in the different time where we re having these conversations.
the truth and they re going to be they re going to the final decision makers they have got to be able to decide creating waters and his team proven beyond a reasonable doubt that alec murdaugh killed his wife and his son. lawrence: thanks so much for joining the program. thawrnlg for having me. glans bring in criminal defense attorney and physician and doctor, daniel thank you so much for joining the program. doctor i want to lean in on from your profession. you had a confession right there talking about his addiction he never confessed to the murder. judging by some of the things that he was saying there on the stand is this a guy that s cape capable of comight murder? listen, 50% of americans don t believe that addiction is a real disease despite the fact there s remission rates that are similar to diseases like hypertension and asthma.
on collateral issues about lies and thefts and things that he stole from other victims. but all he had to do is really narrowly go after the timeline here. because murdaugh first said that he was sleeping for an hour and he went to his mom s house. little did he know that paul had a video on paul s phone that had murdaugh on the crime scene at the crime scene minutes before the murders. so he had to come forth with that explanation because that s the critical eye. i mean of all of the eyes he lied about being at the crime scene minutes before it completely puts him there and then his explanation lawrence: does that prove nonbelievable. lawrence: does this prove the murder because that s one thing i think before he took the stand, they have a little flexibility. but now that he s taken the stand admitted to lies did the
