Prosecutors in the double murder trial of Alex Murdaugh weave together elaborate timeline during closing arguments.
Utilizing electronic data and video extracted from the victims' cellphones, lead prosecutor Creighton Waters placed Murdaugh at the crime scene June 7, 2021, saying he had access to family firearms when he ambushed his son, Paul, before shooting his wife, Margaret, multiple times on the grounds of the family's hunting estate in rural Colleton County.
"There is only one person who had the motive, who had the means, who had the opportunity to commit these crimes, and also whose guilty conduct after these crimes betrays him," Waters said. A concrete pad where Paul had fallen after being struck twice by a shotgun was still visible. Margaret, whose body was found several feet away, suffered five gunshot wounds from a different weapon. While the interior of a feed room appeared renovated, large bullet holes remained in a back window.
