Defense attorneys for disbarred South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh will give their closing argument on Thursday as the lengthy trial comes to an end, most likely painting him as a drug addict who would never hurt his family.
Murdaugh is charged with two counts of homicide for the deaths of his wife, Maggie, 52, and his youngest son, Paul, 22, in June 2021. He allegedly shot Paul with a shotgun and Maggie with a rifle.
ALEX MURDAUGH TRIAL: MURDAUGH TESTIFIES HE DID NOT SHOOT WIFE, SON, BLAMES DRUG ADDICTION FOR LIES TO POLICE The defense's strategy has varied throughout the trial, pointing to Murdaugh's addiction to oxycodone as a reason for his financial wrongdoings and lies to the police. They also brought forward witnesses who determined through analysis that, in their opinion, there could have been two shooters. Their biggest push was calling Murdaugh himself to the witness stand to testify.
The prosecution wrapped up their closing arguments Wednesday, calling Murdaugh a"family annihilator."
