Jan 25 - The lead prosecutor in the case against Richard "Alex" Murdaugh said the disbarred South Carolina attorney lied about his whereabouts on the night his wife and son were murdered, attacking his credibility as the high-profile trial got underway on Wednesday.
The gases from the second shot "literally exploded his head like a watermelon hit with a sledgehammer," Harpootlian told the jury of eight women and four men seated earlier on Wednesday. "His brain exploded out of his head." Creighton Waters, the lead prosecutor, said cellphone evidence would show Murdaugh was at the kennels right before his wife and son were fatally shot at close range, contradicting what he had told others in the wake of the incident.
The trial is taking place at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, a sleepy, rural town 50 miles west of Charleston in a low-lying region of South Carolina over which the Murdaugh family has wielded immense judicial and political power. Prosecutors have said Murdaugh killed his wife and child to generate sympathy and distract from his financial crimes. Waters told the jury they would hear how his life was unravelling like a "perfect storm" that culminated in the murders.
