A risky decision by Alex Murdaugh to testify during his trial may have led to his conviction on charges in the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh.
"Once they got that character information -- 'he's a thief, he's a liar' -- then this jury had to think that he's a despicable human being, and not to be believed," Harpootlian told reporters after sentencing, referring to evidence about the financial crimes introduced at the murder trial. Murdaugh, he added, always wanted to take the stand.
"His testimony was very poor. In fact, I think it was borderline atrocious," jury consultant Alan Tuerkheimer told CNN. "Jurors don't like it when witnesses are being questioned and they don't answer and what he kept doing continually was going beyond the scope of the questions." "It's effective if it's genuine and it just did not come off as genuine. Look, lawyers love to testify. They use words to persuade people. And once he was on the stand, he just couldn't contain himself," Tuerkheimer said of Murdaugh.
