WALTERBORO, S.C. — Only one person had the motive and the means to murder Maggie and Paul Murdaugh the night of June 7, 2021, South Carolina prosecutor Creighton Waters told the men and women of the jury who will decide whether former Lowcountry attorney Alex Murdaugh is guilty of the crime.
Waters on Wednesday attempted to summarize the case against Murdaugh in the closing argument of the six-week-long murder trial.
Twelve jurors have heard a complicated case involving reams of evidence admitted by both sides, but Waters bore down on the central question of who killed Murdaugh’s wife and son nearly two years ago.
