This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.reached a verdict Thursday at 6:41 p.m. after less than three hours of deliberations and without asking any questions.
Alex Murdaugh and his legal team listen to prosecutor Creighton Waters as he makes closing arguments in Murdaugh’s trial on Wednesday.Jurors received the case after Murdaugh's defense lawyer Jim Griffin delivered his summations. He argued that investigators"failed miserably" in their probe and accused them of"fabricating evidence" against the defendant.
"They went from Mr. Bloody shirt leading up to this trial to Mr. Clean during this trial," Griffin quipped. "He puts himself in the middle of a murder investigation, he puts himself in the middle of a media firestorm? That’s their motive?" asked Griffin incredulously. Griffin conceded, as Murdaugh did on the stand, that his client lied repeatedly about being at the kennels that night.
Griffin speculated that Paul could have confronted the dealer and threatened to turn him in if he didn't stop selling pills to his father. Griffin argued that the state's case is built on theories and speculation and that is not evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. "I don’t know why he did it," Meadors said, adding that the state doesn't have to prove motive."I think he did it to protect the one he loved the most. The one he really loved the most, so he could keep his lifestyle and not be embarrassed financially. He wanted to keep going and loving Alex."
