And in a civil case like this,

if Alec is now the victim
of a crime this horrible,
388

well, a jury's gonna
have sympathy for him.

They're not likely to reach
a verdict against him.

00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:13,381
Yes, sir.
520
00:27:13,382 --> 00:27:16,801
Uh, this is a map of Moselle Road,
just outside the property.
521
00:27:16,802 --> 00:27:18,636
- [Creighton] Uh-huh.
- The orange dot
522
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:22,306
is where Maggie Murdaugh's phone
was located, just in the tree line.
523
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:24,642
Obviously removed from the crime scene.
524
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:28,688
Along the same route the defendant took
to his parents, passing here at 9:08,
525
00:27:28,689 --> 00:27:31,567
traveling at approximately
42 miles per hour.
526
00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:35,027
After passing the location
where her phone was found,
527
00:27:35,028 --> 00:27:37,197
did the defendant's vehicle accelerate?
528
00:27:37,698 --> 00:27:41,325
It reaches a max speed
of 74.4 miles per hour,
529
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:44,412
faster than any other speed that day
coming and going from work.
530
00:27:44,413 --> 00:27:47,206
So the defendant slowed down
at the same spot
531
00:27:47,207 --> 00:27:49,000
where her phone
happened to have been found
532
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:50,627
and then accelerated away.
533
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:52,713
Correct.
534
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:57,800
The state rests, Your Honor.
535
00:27:57,801 --> 00:27:59,635
[indistinct murmuring]
536
00:27:59,636 --> 00:28:02,222
[♪ dramatic music playing]
537

[♪ somber music playing]
538
00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:49,268
[Alex] Ask it.
539
00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:51,480
[♪ eerie music playing]
540
00:29:04,534 --> 00:29:05,619
Go on.
541
00:29:10,207 --> 00:29:11,959
Go on and ask it.
542
00:29:12,709 --> 00:29:14,252
Ask what?
543
00:29:14,253 --> 00:29:16,588
The question you want the answer to.
544
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,593
Ask it with your whole entire chest.
545
00:29:24,429 --> 00:29:25,639
Come on, son.
546
00:29:28,058 --> 00:29:29,225
Go on, son.
547
00:29:29,226 --> 00:29:31,019
[♪ eerie music swelling]
548
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:34,147
Go on, son.
549
00:29:40,404 --> 00:29:43,030
You know that I worked a case
with your great-granddaddy Buster
550
00:29:43,031 --> 00:29:45,742
in this very courtroom
when I was a baby lawyer?
551
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:48,411
- Really?
- [laughs] Oh.
552
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:51,455
That man was the cock of the walk,
I'll tell you what.
553
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:52,999
And he knew it, too.
554
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,209
Yeah.
555
00:29:57,379 --> 00:29:59,171
Alec wanted you to know
556
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:01,967
he's real proud of you
for getting up there for him today.
557
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,510
[Jim Griffin]
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
558
00:30:04,511 --> 00:30:06,387
this is a photo taken
of the Murdaugh family
559
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:08,974
at a baseball game just a few weeks
before the murders.
560
00:30:09,891 --> 00:30:11,893
Buster, what do you remember
about that day?
561
00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:15,980
Uh, my brother Paul was, um,
562
00:30:15,981 --> 00:30:17,899
making everyone laugh like he would.
563
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:19,943
And I remember, uh...
564
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:25,365
my mom was real proud of the work
that she'd gotten done on the beach house.
565
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:29,618
Y'all were real happy
when y'all were together, weren't you?
566
00:30:29,619 --> 00:30:30,996
[Buster] We were.
567
00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:35,000
I mean, we had our moments, you know?
568
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:37,835
Like all families, I think. Yeah.
569
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:41,130
But, yes, sir. I'd say, uh...
I'd say that we were.
570
00:30:41,131 --> 00:30:43,717
Tell us a little bit
about your brother Paul.
571
00:30:45,594 --> 00:30:46,762
Uh...
572
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:49,473
Ahem, uh, well, he, uh...
573
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:53,310
he loved to fish and hunt.
574
00:30:54,561 --> 00:30:56,854
Lots of outdoor stuff.
575
00:30:56,855 --> 00:30:58,731
Me and him and Dad would, um...
576
00:30:58,732 --> 00:31:01,234
we'd do that stuff together a lot, so...
577
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:04,571
[Jim] Did y'all ever fight?
578
00:31:05,364 --> 00:31:08,199
Well, I-I-I don't know a pair
of brothers that doesn't,
579
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,950
so, yes, sir.
580
00:31:09,951 --> 00:31:11,327
Yes, sir, we did.
581
00:31:11,328 --> 00:31:12,620
Uh, but we...
582
00:31:12,621 --> 00:31:16,041
You know, we also
had a lot of fun together.
583
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,128
[Jim] I bet you did.
584
00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:23,298
- Thank you. Bus.
- [knocks on tabletop]
585
00:31:29,304 --> 00:31:33,517
You didn't know about your dad's
financial difficulties, did you?
586
00:31:34,142 --> 00:31:35,977
No, sir. I did not.
587
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:39,897
Your mom loved
that beach house, didn't she?
588
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:43,234
Yes, sir.
Uh, she... she loved the ocean.
589
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:46,780
Had she been spending more time down there
leading up to June 7th?
590
00:31:47,447 --> 00:31:50,491
As I said, she was having
work done on the house.
591
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:52,744
So, yes, I believe so.
592
00:31:53,370 --> 00:31:55,663
[Creighton]
Did her spending more time down there
593
00:31:55,664 --> 00:31:59,418
have anything to do with how the community
treated your family after the boat crash?
594
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:02,086
Did she feel ostracized?
595
00:32:02,087 --> 00:32:03,505
Uh, she did, yes.
596
00:32:04,798 --> 00:32:07,175
Did that cause stress within the family?
597
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:09,636
[Buster] It was a stressful time.
598
00:32:10,429 --> 00:32:11,555
But, um...
599
00:32:12,639 --> 00:32:15,559
you know, we just tried
to support each other through that.
600
00:32:21,064 --> 00:32:22,898
Thank you for your time.
No further questions.
601
00:32:22,899 --> 00:32:24,985
[♪ tense music playing]
602
00:32:45,213 --> 00:32:46,922
[Alex]
"Buster Murdaugh takes the stand,
603
00:32:46,923 --> 00:32:50,092
but does little to counter
the state's GPS and cell phone evidence."
604
00:32:50,093 --> 00:32:52,970
[Dick] Well, you testifying
is dumber than dirt, Alec.
605
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:56,141
Y'all got any other cards
you wanna play, Dick? I'm all ears.
606
00:32:58,351 --> 00:33:00,936
Now God bless Buster boy,
but there's only so much he can do.
607
00:33:00,937 --> 00:33:03,230
I mean, this is...
608
00:33:03,231 --> 00:33:04,565
this is slipping away, boys.
609
00:33:04,566 --> 00:33:06,525
It's our experts' turn now, Alec.
610
00:33:06,526 --> 00:33:07,985
Oh, yeah, Jim?
611
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:11,989
Hey, they got anything that can counter
the phone data and the GPS horseshit?
612
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:13,950
Oh, no, I didn't think so.
613
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:17,661
Now I didn't do this, all right?
You know it, I know it.
614
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:19,622
But the only way
that jury's gonna know it, Dick,
615
00:33:19,623 --> 00:33:21,290
is if they hear it straight from me.
616
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:23,292
All this jury has heard this whole trial
617
00:33:23,293 --> 00:33:25,628
is how much you have lied
to everybody about everything.
618
00:33:25,629 --> 00:33:29,840
To your clients, law enforcement,
to your friends and family.
619
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:33,136
Your credibility is in
the goddamn septic tank at this point.
620
00:33:34,888 --> 00:33:36,598
Then I own the lies.
621
00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:39,935
Yeah, I don't run from them, Dick.
I run straight to 'em.
622
00:33:40,977 --> 00:33:43,812
I strongly advise you against doing this.
623
00:33:43,813 --> 00:33:47,859
You know who the fuck I am, bo?
No, do you know who my fuckin' family is?
624
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:51,779
Then you got some idea how much time
I spent in this courtroom as a kid,
625
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:55,407
upstairs at the state's table
while my daddy and my granddaddy
626
00:33:55,408 --> 00:33:58,369
put away murderers, rapists,
and ne'er-do-wells aplenty.
627
00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:00,162
Now you got your crime scene expert,
628
00:34:00,163 --> 00:34:02,289
you got your weapons expert,
Jim, fine.
629
00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:04,166
You have the fuck at it!
630
00:34:04,167 --> 00:34:07,461
But if they wanna try me for something
this god-awful on my family's turf?
631
00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:09,214
Fuck, no, bo!
632
00:34:09,756 --> 00:34:11,799
Okay? Not without going through me first.
633
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,802
Now you put me on that fuckin' stand.
634
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:19,599
The defendant Richard Alexander Murdaugh
wishes to take the stand.
635
00:34:25,689 --> 00:34:28,315
[court clerk] Do you swear and affirm
that the testimony you give today
636
00:34:28,316 --> 00:34:30,776
will be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth?
637
00:34:30,777 --> 00:34:32,487
- Yes, ma'am.
- [court clerk] Thank you.
638
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:36,865
I'm Alec Murdaugh.
639
00:34:36,866 --> 00:34:39,661
M-U-R-D-A-U-G-H.
640
00:34:40,161 --> 00:34:42,789
Good morning.
641
00:34:46,626 --> 00:34:47,669
Mr. Murdaugh...
642
00:34:48,837 --> 00:34:51,923
on June 7, 2021...
643
00:34:53,133 --> 00:34:56,928
did you take this gun, or any gun like it,
644
00:34:57,554 --> 00:34:59,972
and shoot your son Paul in the chest
645
00:34:59,973 --> 00:35:02,767
in the feed room at your property
off Moselle Road?
646
00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:06,479
No, I did not.
647
00:35:09,065 --> 00:35:11,943
Did you take this gun,
or any gun like it...
648
00:35:12,986 --> 00:35:14,863
and blow your son's brains out
649
00:35:15,655 --> 00:35:18,741
on June 7th,
or any day or any time?
650
00:35:18,742 --> 00:35:21,119
No, I did not.
651
00:35:27,334 --> 00:35:28,376
Mr. Murdaugh...
652
00:35:30,295 --> 00:35:32,463
did you take a 300 Blackout
653
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:34,465
such as this,
654
00:35:34,466 --> 00:35:38,302
and fired into your wife
Maggie's leg, torso,
655
00:35:38,303 --> 00:35:39,888
or any part of her body?
656
00:35:42,724 --> 00:35:44,266
No, I did not.
657
00:35:44,267 --> 00:35:47,353
[Jim] Mr. Murdaugh,
did you shoot this gun
658
00:35:47,354 --> 00:35:49,647
into Maggie's head, causing her death?
659
00:35:49,648 --> 00:35:53,610
Mr. Griffin, I didn't shoot
my wife or my son anytime, ever.
660
00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:00,659
Mr. Murdaugh,
were you in fact at the kennels
661
00:36:01,576 --> 00:36:03,036
at 8:44 p.m.
662
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:06,456
the night that Maggie
and Paul were murdered?
663
00:36:07,207 --> 00:36:08,291
I was.
664
00:36:09,250 --> 00:36:13,962
And did you in fact lie repeatedly
to law enforcement that night?
665
00:36:13,963 --> 00:36:15,798
The night that Maggie and Paul
were murdered?
666
00:36:15,799 --> 00:36:17,050
I did lie.
667
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:23,640
As my addiction evolved over time...
668
00:36:25,141 --> 00:36:28,018
I would get in these situations,
these circumstances,
669
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:31,481
where I would get paranoid thinking.
670
00:36:32,107 --> 00:36:33,900
That night, June 7th...
671
00:36:35,151 --> 00:36:36,486
after finding...
672
00:36:39,406 --> 00:36:40,489
[sniffles]
673
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:41,782
...Mags and Paul--
674
00:36:41,783 --> 00:36:42,992
Paw-Paw.
675
00:36:44,786 --> 00:36:49,958
I had a deputy sheriff
takin' gunshot tests from my hands.
676
00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:54,962
I'm sittin' in a police car
with David Owens
677
00:36:54,963 --> 00:36:59,050
and asking me about my relationship
with my wife and my son.
678
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:02,761
And all of those things,
679
00:37:02,762 --> 00:37:05,514
coupled together with, after finding them,
680
00:37:05,515 --> 00:37:08,643
coupled with my-- My distrust for SLED,
681
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:12,438
caused me to have paranoid thoughts.
682
00:37:12,439 --> 00:37:14,732
Now, normally... [sniffles]
683
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:16,525
...when these paranoid thoughts
would hit me,
684
00:37:16,526 --> 00:37:20,321
I could just take a deep breath,
you know, real quick.
685
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:23,824
Just think about it, you know,
reason my way through it.
686
00:37:23,825 --> 00:37:25,493
Just get past it really quickly.
687
00:37:27,495 --> 00:37:28,997
On June the 7th...
688
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:34,794
I wasn't thinking clearly.

What?
863
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:13,808
Well, the day that Mom and Paul...
864
00:48:15,643 --> 00:48:17,644
Why didn't you ask me
to come home that day?
865
00:48:17,645 --> 00:48:19,145
What do you mean?
866
00:48:19,146 --> 00:48:21,689
You asked Paul to come home
and look at the sunflowers.
867
00:48:21,690 --> 00:48:22,775
And...
868
00:48:24,235 --> 00:48:27,655
you told Mom that y'all needed
to be together as a family because...
869
00:48:28,614 --> 00:48:30,616
of how sick Granddaddy was, and...
870
00:48:31,992 --> 00:48:33,661
you didn't ask me to come home.
871
00:48:34,370 --> 00:48:36,497
Why are you askin' me this now?
872
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:38,915
Huh? You think you could have been there,
873
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:41,042
there might have been something
you could've done?
874
00:48:41,043 --> 00:48:43,254
- Don't do that to yourself, bo.
- No, it's not like that.
875
00:48:45,965 --> 00:48:47,216
Just been on my mind.
876
00:48:53,597 --> 00:48:56,016
You'd just started your job, hadn't you?
877
00:48:57,726 --> 00:49:00,103
- Yeah.
- You're up at Rock Hill with...
878
00:49:00,104 --> 00:49:01,856

879
00:49:02,565 --> 00:49:03,940

I didn't wanna worry you none, I guess.
884
00:49:14,326 --> 00:49:16,244
And you know what?
Thank God I damn didn't.
885
00:49:16,245 --> 00:49:21,083
Because if I had, whoever did this might
have done it to you, too, you know?
886
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,842
I should go.
887
00:49:30,843 --> 00:49:32,594
You got places to be, yeah?
888
00:49:32,595 --> 00:49:34,138

Yeah.
892
00:49:39,935 --> 00:49:42,146
Yeah, I'll give you a call. We'll talk.
893
00:49:44,190 --> 00:49:45,232
