"I find it offensive that the defense ... is claiming law enforcement didn't do their job, while he is withholding and obstructing justice by not saying 'I was down at the kennels.'"SEE MORE: Murdaugh trial updates: Former lawyer testifies in own defense, admits he lied to investigators
Jurors heard from more than 70 witnesses over six weeks of testimony and even visited Moselle to see the scene for themselves. Murdaugh was a partner at a powerful law firm with his name on it. But that prominence belied underlying issues, and the killings of his wife and son were followed by accusations of misappropriated funds, his resignation, a bizarre alleged suicide-for-hire and insurance scam plot, a stint in rehab for drug addiction, dozens of financial crimes, his disbarment and, ultimately, the murder charges.
Griffin acknowledged Murdaugh had lied about being at the dog kennels where his wife and son were killed on the night of the murders. He said the lies were to hide his drug addiction and financial problems -- not because he killed his family. Griffin attacked the prosecution's assertion that the guns used in the killings were "family weapons," saying there was no firm evidence to support that. He also criticized the prosecution's proposed timeline of the killings, noting that it was mainly made up of information about whether Paul's and Maggie's phones were being used.He further noted that the prosecution's timeline indicated Paul and Maggie were killed at about 8:49 or 8:50 p.m.
