Disbarred South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh took the stand Thursday to testify his own defense in his double murder trial. He denied killing his wife and son but admitted lying to investigators about when he last saw them alive.
Murdaugh, 54, is charged with murder in connection with the shootings of his wife, Maggie, 52, and their 22-year-old son, Paul, who were gunned down near the dog kennels of the family’s hunting estate on June 7, 2021.
