A judge ruled that should Alex Murdaugh take the stand in his own defense, there will be no limit to questions prosecutors can ask. Murdaugh, a once-wealthy and powerful attorney, is on trial for the murders of his wife and son.
"I am not going to issue an order in advance limiting the scope of cross-examination," Judge Clifton Newman said, adding that objections would be addressed as they come up.Specifically, Murdaugh's defense team wanted to prohibit prosecutors from asking about Murdaugh's financial status at the time of the killings should he choose to testify in his own defense.
Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty, and his team of attorneys has said the 54-year-old looked forward to clearing his name. Mark Ball also claimed that Alex Murdaugh, other lawyers, and friends who had gathered on the grounds were all sent back to the family home before authorities had done a sweep of it, possibly contaminating evidence and risking their safety.
