Anyone else watch Alex Murdaugh testify today in his defense? Pretty compelling testimony, but thinking it will be a whole different story when it comes to the cross…
Discussion
I think Alex walks. Have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he did it which the prosecution has not done.
I missed it but the case is extremely fascinating. I’m tuning in now…
What’d he say?
Well he admitted to being at the kennels the night of the murders (which he had lied about up until this point, but his voice had been caught by an unsent Snapchat video) and said it was his voice on the video. Which puts him on the site within minutes of the likely time of death.
Do you think admitting that is going to help him or hurt him?
Think he pretty much had to admit it after all the people who said it was 100% him talking on the video
Wouldn’t showing himself as a liar hurt his credibility with the jury?
Yes and no- it was basically confirmed to be him so he was a liar either way, but can now claim he’s telling the truth. I’m sure on cross they will say something like ‘how do we know you are not lying again now’, but it’s really not about him lying or not, the prosecution has to convince the jury on evidence.
Got it. I’m super dialed in now, thanks!
What do you think happened?
I watch others watching and their reactions are interesting. I Meta watch everything.
