we should be wondering why it was so fast. i mean, look, most times and charles can agree or disagree with me. as a former prosecutor, when you get a verdict this fast, it s usually a verdict of guilty. this jury has salt through multiple weeks of testimony. this trial started with jury selection january 23rd, i want to say. it s been going more than 61 witnesses presented by the prosecutor. we heard from experts witnesses, we had cell phone evidence, blood spatter evidence. at the end of the day, i think what really moved the needle for the jury was the rebuttal closing from the prosecution. when the prosecutor got up and said, alex murdaugh kicked the person he loved the most, and it wasn t his wife. it wasn t his son. it was himself. and in order to preserve his lifestyle, his addiction, his financial fraud, he picked himself. and if that s what the jury heard last before they went into the jury room, i would not be surprised to see if the verdict is guilty. ellison ba
