Alex Murdaugh took the stand to testify in his double murder trial Thursday morning, admitting he lied to investigators when he said he was not at the scene of the killings of his wife and son minutes before the state says the fatal shootings in June 2021. CNN's Randi Kaye has the latest followed by commentary from legal experts. #CNN #News
See what happened when Alex Murdaugh took the stand
He is guilty AF. No doubt.
What about 1989 Eddie Cousin?
when Alex goes postal, he goes all the way
He lied all that time about that not being his voice in the video at the kennels.SMH
He’s guilty as sin!
But the state hasn’t proved anything.
A murder is still a murder, and you have gotta admit it man.
A career criminal sociopath who would kill to get out of any investigations into his financial records like it was another Monday.
Have you noticed the way he licks the side of his mouth and then when asked about why he lied to law enforcement he said “what a web we sew” basically subconsciously comparing himself to that of a scurvy spider very eerie
Ummm how did that get him out of financial investigation?
The ONLY 1 Alex cares about is HIMSELF, maybe Buster, his mess up was not so $$$$ hurtful to him.
Are you affiliated?
When the prosecutor grilled him about the financial crimes…Alex said he loved these people….Why didn’t he run with that!!!! Instead of badgering over and over “name one time you remember…” He could have connected loving his family and hurting them.
Here is a recommended clip that says it:-

@Dana Sandra You’re horrible
The defense must feel like they have lost the case for them to put Alex on the stand. That’s a move you make when you’re desperate.
I would testify if I was accused of something I didn’t do.
Desperate? What trial have you been watching? The state has zero evidence.
@Mary Warnerbetter write it down first
@Mary Warner
Most defense lawyers would advise against testifying in your own defense, no matter what the status of your involvement.
There usually isn’t any point in doing this that couldn’t be raised by a decent defense lawyer.
Alex was a terrible person for doing what he done with the money but he did not hurt Maggie and Paul.
He says “No” but shakes his head “Yes”
Observe would be all over that.
Never a good sign. His body language was pretty poor
I saw that immediately and had to rewatch to make sure I didn’t just see a trained lawyer f*** that up, amongst other things. I hope @Enigma or @Observe will cover him on the stand, soon 🤞
Slightly telling. But usually followed by covering the mouth with a hand.
@Jemm Morrison We fans need to start the whining and begging now! 😁
Buddy. You had TWO houses on a single property. You have lived a far better life than most, take your chips and bow out. Don’t worry, you’ll still have corporate welfare to look forward to afterwards 💜
its crazy how alex ruined his family reputation by allegedly killing his family..
this family has been ruining lives for over 100 years. they always felt above the law and rigged the system to favor them. it is long overdue that justice against them is served for the thousands of laws they have broken along the way. LOCK HIM UP!
The family reputation was one of questionable ethos. Just about everyone who lived in that area knew that that family was something to be feared. They were not considered the backbone of society, they were considered people to avoid.
He ruined generations of a good family name. He is a liar and needs to be held accountable for the deaths of his lovely wife and beloved son. May he rot in hell and pay for it.
When your vehicle drives by your dead wife’s phone that’s laying on the side of a road I don’t think you’re innocent
Just watched the Netflix DOCUseries on his family. How vile and disgusting all of them were. I feel no sympathy whether he killed them or not.
Wow. Your comment compels need to watch the series.
Those boys give off bully tendencies 🤨
@Catturner122 100%. I guess that’s what Trust fund Brads will turn into when they’re born filthy rich and their parents practically own the city
I can’t believe the defense put this liar on the stand .
This is so sick! Cold blooded killer lying straight one moment after another.
The defense didn’t want him to testify. They know better. It was his decision.
Feel bad for the housekeeper 🙁
As a fiduciary as well, I take my state license and MBA degree seriously. This man has been lying to his victims as he is lying to the jury. Having a defendant lawyer, tries to minipulate.
He’s saying “No”, but shaking his head “YES”. He is so guilty!!
