Alex Murdaugh took the stand and addressed the lies he told investigators following the deaths of Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh. He also admitted to stealing from several of his clients. However, Alex denied killing his wife and son on June 7, 2021.

In this daily update episode, hosts Jocelyn Grzeszczak and Eric Russell break down the highly anticipated testimony.

The day started with defense attorney Jim Griffin letting it be known that Alex Murdaugh is considering whether or not to take the stand. Jurors also heard from several more defense witnesses on day 22 of the trial, including Murdaugh’s former law partner Mark Bell.

In this daily update episode, hosts Jocelyn Grzeszczak and Eric Russell discuss everything that went on in the courtroom on Wednesday.

The defense continued to call its witnesses Tuesday, starting with Alex Murdaugh's oldest son Buster. His testimony bolstered some of the defense team's case.

In this daily update episode, hosts Jocelyn Grzeszczak and Eric Russell recap the testimony from Buster and others on day 21 of the trial.

Alex Murdaugh seemed to be in a hurry in the hour after his wife and son were brutally shot to death.

The soon-to-be-disgraced Hampton trial attorney sped down a pothole-riddled country road at more than 74 mph on the way to visit his mother that evening, according to new data gleaned from his 2021 Chevrolet Suburban. His speedometer touched 80 mph on the way back home, well over the 55 mph speed limit.

Jurors in Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial on Feb. 16 heard the once-prominent Hampton attorney confess to an entirely different crime: trying to orchestrate his own murder to leave behind a $10 million life insurance payout for his son.

The lead investigator of the high-profile murders of Alex Murdaugh's wife and son admitted Feb. 15 he was unaware until four months after Murdaugh’s indictment that the defendant’s white T-shirt from the night of the slayings had tested negative for human blood.

In the weeks after Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were brutally shot to death, their relatives were terrified, Maggie’s sister testified Feb. 14.

Investigators had made no arrests nor named any suspects. No motive was clear for the shocking slayings of two members of the prominent Hampton family.

Judge Clifton Newman’s dismissal of the two jurors set off alarms that an outbreak in the jury room could require a suspension of the weeks-long proceedings or, worse, a mistrial. A court employee also tested positive, Newman said.

The jury heard testimony from Blanca Simpson, the Murdaugh family’s housekeeper. Simpson testified about returning to Moselle the day after the murders as well as some of Alex Murdaugh's actions in the weeks and months following the murders.

In this daily update episode, hosts Jocelyn Grzeszczak and Eric Russell discuss Simpson's testimony as well as the other key moments in the courtroom on Friday.

The vast majority of today’s testimony was taken up by four witnesses who each had already spoken during Judge Clifton Newman’s separate hearing on whether evidence of Alex’s alleged financial crimes could be admitted in the double murder trial.
