WASHINGTON, Feb 24 — Richard “Alex” Murdaugh, the disbarred South Carolina attorney charged with murdering his wife and son, admitted to lying to investigators about his whereabouts on the night of the killings but denied any guilt in dramatic testimony on Thursday.
During roughly two hours of cross examination before the judge recessed for the day, the lead prosecutor focused on Murdaugh’s financial crimes, in an apparent effort to establish his dishonesty. The prosecution will continue its examination on Friday. Prosecutors have said Murdaugh killed his wife and child to generate sympathy and distract from an array of financial crimes for which he is also facing criminal charges, an alleged motive that Murdaugh’s lawyers have argued does not make sense.
“Every single one of these you had to sit down and look somebody in the eye and convince them that you were on their side,” said Waters, who did not ask a single question about the murders during his first two hours of cross examination.Among the critical evidence seen by jurors was a cellphone video in which Murdaugh’s voice could be heard at the kennels minutes before his wife and son were fatally shot at close range, contradicting what he had told investigators following the incident.
