Watch as Alex Murdaugh stands trial on murder charges

Alex Murdaugh faced a further grilling from prosecutors as cross-examination resumes in his double murder trial.

The disgraced attorney returned to the witness stand on Friday (24 February) in Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina, where he is accused of the brutal killings of his wife Maggie and son Paul on 7 June 2021.

Prosecutor Creighton Waters is likely to confront Mr Murdaugh head-on about the murders.

On Thursday, he grilled the accused attorney about his alleged attempts to influence a boat crash investigation through the power of his legal badge, as well as schemes to steal millions in settlement money from “real people”.

During yesterday’s bombshell courtroom testimony, Mr Murdaugh confessed to lying about his alibi on the night of the murders, but insisted that he is innocent of the horrific slayings.
