Alex Murdaugh's double-murder trial resumed Friday in Walterboro, S.C., where the former lawyer and scion of a powerful legal family stands accused of fatally shooting his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in June 2021.
Defendant Alex Murdaugh becomes emotional during testimony in his double murder trial at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, S.C., Friday, Jan. 27, 2023. in Walterboro, S.C., where the former lawyer and scion of a powerful legal family stands accused of fatally shooting his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in June 2021.Murdaugh, 54, is a member of a family that was synonymous with the law in South Carolina’s Lowcountry for nearly a decade.
The killings occurred at the Murdaugh’s 1,770-acre hunting lodge in Islandton, S.C., on June 7, 2021. Alex Murdaugh called 911 call shortly after 10 p.m. to report his wife and son had been shot. In a court filing ahead of the trial, prosecutors said that the imminent threat of “personal, legal and financial ruin” drove Murdaugh to brutally murder his wife and son.
“In May 2021, [the firm] had received an expense check from a lucrative case Murdaugh worked alongside Bamberg attorney Chris Wilson, but the firm hadn’t received Murdaugh’s share of the legal fees,” the paper said. And partners at the firm “became worried Murdaugh was trying to hide his income from potential recovery by the Beach family in the ongoing boat crash lawsuit.”
Newman admonished Alex Murdaugh’s surviving son Buster Murdaugh for making an obscene gesture toward Mark Tinsley, the attorney representing Mallory Beach’s family.
