At the end of a lengthy murder trial, the piece of circumstantial evidence that led Alex Murdaugh to be convicted of double homicide was provided by his dead son.
The video, recorded by 22-year-old Paul just moments before he was shot and killed, showed one of the family's dogs and captured his father's voice in the background, placing the once powerful patriarch at the scene of the crime.
The clip, which the 54-year old attorney reportedly knew nothing about until his six-week trial began, was enough to ensure he was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife Maggie and youngest son Paul.
Despite this, Murdaugh insisted throughout the trial that he had nothing to do with the killings.
"I am innocent," Murdaugh said on the witness stand. "I would never hurt my wife... I would never hurt my son."
A GOOD LIAR
Craig Moyer, one of the jurors on the case, spoke about the ruling afterwards on Good Morning America. Explaining why it took just three hours for them to decide Murdaugh was guilty he noted, “He was a good liar, but not good enough.
“I didn’t see any true remorse or any compassion or anything. He never cried,” he said.
