WALTERBORO, S.C. — After 17 days of testimony from 60 different witnesses, the prosecution of Alex Murdaugh rested Friday.
Moments later, Murdaugh’s defense team called the first witnesses of their own.
The team led by attorneys Jim Griffin and Dick Harpootlian have sought to poke holes in the state’s case that Murdaugh murdered his wife Maggie and son Paul at the family’s rural Colleton County home on June 7, 2021, at times aggressively questioning the witnesses called by prosecutors.
