The video, which was taken at the dog kennels right before Maggie and Paul were killed, had a voice that reportedly sounded like Alex. This indicated to authorities that he had been at the kennels just moments before his wife and son were shot. Moyer said that both jurors and witnesses were certain that the former lawyer's voice had been heard in the video.He said that he was certain that the voice in the video was Murdaugh's voice. Moyer said that within 45 minutes, the jurors had come to a unanimous decision that Murdaugh was guilty.He said:“You start deliberating, going through the evidence and everybody was pretty much talking(...) About 45 minutes later, after all our deliberating, we figured (out that he was guilty). The evidence was clear."EggplantAstronaut@EggplantAstroIn one of the bodycams #AlexMurdaugh acts like he’s going to wipe his face on his shirt and then stops. I wonder if he was worried there could be something on his face that would tie him to the crime and he didn’t wipe it on his shirt bc he knew his clothing would be evidence.586In one of the bodycams #AlexMurdaugh acts like he’s going to wipe his face on his shirt and then stops.

He continued:“It was basically Paul speaking from beyond the grave that yes, Alex Murdaugh was there, just moments before Maggie and Paul were brutally murdered."In an attempt to defend himself, Murdaugh said that he had lied about his whereabouts. He claimed he was paranoid that authorities would unjustly implicate him in the killings if they found he had been at the scene of the crime moments before the shooting.Wilson said:“I think that was fatal for him ultimately. Obviously, he had created a web of lies for over a decade that led to this culminating point in this trial. Obviously, he had lied. He had been lying his way out of things for so long he had forgotten what it was like to tell the truth.”Betti Piatt Varga@Bettiboop1950@MelissaPPittman Murdaugh has such dead, empty looking eyes4@MelissaPPittman Murdaugh has such dead, empty looking eyesMurdaugh is currently under the custody of the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
