I won’t spend too much ink here, but two points of rebuttal; 1) The attorney general said Friday that Murdaugh himself was the "biggest piece of evidence."
“When he took the stand, I think that was fatal for him ultimately," Wilson said. "Alex had made very successful career of giving closing arguments to juries and winning major cases and making a lot of money." Taking the stand "was his closing argument to the jury. I believe in my mind that he believed that he could talk his way out of this. And at the end of the day, I think that’s what sealed it for him," he said.
2) I watched a juror tonight speak about how close the jurors were to Murdaugh, close enough to see he never produced a single tear through the entirety of his testimony. That’s tears he wouldn’t have had to manufacture if he’d have taken the 5th.
