Alex Murdaugh, a disgraced legal scion, claimed during his murder trial on Friday that someone had gunned down his son, Paul, due to anger over the fatal boat crash he caused, and that this individual had read posts on social media.
Murdaugh stated in court that the “half-truths” reported online about Paul’s 2019 criminal case had enraged the killer. Murdaugh believed that the individual who killed his son and Maggie, his wife, had “hated Paul Murdaugh and they had anger in their heart” due to the reports they read online.
Waters, the state’s lead prosecutor, questioned Murdaugh about the theory that someone with a vendetta slipped onto his property and killed Paul and Maggie while he was not with them, but Murdaugh did not respond to the question.
On the previous day, Murdaugh had admitted in court to lying about being near the kennels with his wife and son just moments before they were shot dead. He also confessed to stealing money and being addicted to opioids at the time of the slayings.
