Murdaugh has denied any role in the killings of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul.
that he was at the kennels where his wife and son were shot shortly before they died, Murdaugh returned to the stand in his own defense. During cross-examination, prosecutor Creighton Waters grilled Murdaugh about what he repeatedly called the once-prominent lawyer's"new story" about what happened at the kennels on the evening June 7, 2021.
"Very cooperative except maybe the most important fact of all, that you were at the murder scene with the victims just minutes before they died," Waters replied. "And you want this jury to believe a story manufactured to fit the evidence that you brought forth just yesterday after hearing a trial's worth of testimony?" Waters asked.
The timing, including cellphone and car-tracking data, is a key component. The video ended just before 8:46 p.m. and both Paul and Maggie Murdaugh stopped using their cellphones about three minutes later. For the first time, Murdaugh blamed anger on social media aimed at his son for the killings. Paul Murdaugh had been involved in a boat wreck that killed a teenager and was charged with boating under the influence. He mentioned the boat crash when the first investigators asked if he could think of any suspects.
Waters told Murdaugh that explanation defied logic, asking if Murdaugh was telling the jury that his wife and son were killed by random vigilantes who knew"they would be at the kennels alone on June 7, knew that you would not be there, but only between the times of 8:49 and 9:02."
