Congressman Eric Swalwell has weighed in on the ongoing trial of Alex Murdaugh, a high-profile South Carolina attorney now accused of a shocking list of crimes including the murder of his wife and son.
Mr Murdaugh, now disbarred and facing murder charges as well as dozens of charges related to financial crimes he is accused of committing, is currently on trial for the killings of his family. A judge ruled on Monday that evidence of his financial crimes can be used as prosecutors present their case; the state reportedly believes that Mr Murdaugh killed his wife and son to distract attention from the shocking scope of crimes he was about to be accused of committing.
