Prosecutors confronted Alex Murdaugh for the first time about his presence at the dog kennels where his wife and son were killed.
The disbarred Lowcountry attorney emphatically denied killing his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, at the family’s rural Colleton County home on June 7, 2021. But he admitted first on the witness stand Thursday that he lied to investigators about being with Maggie and Paul at the property’s dog kennels shortly before the murders, after a video shot on Paul’s cellphone captured his voice at the scene.
Prosecutor Creighton Waters confronted Murdaugh about that statement Friday morning, pushing Murdaugh to admit he did not confess his presence there on June 7, 2021, to his friends, family or law partners before he first took the stand Thursday.
