Lawyers for Alex Murdaugh, a South Carolina lawyer convicted of murder, said in a court filing that an official told jurors not to be “fooled by” his testimony.
When Alex Murdaugh was convicted of murdering his wife and son, some South Carolinians saw the verdict as a step toward dismantling a system of power “based on who you know.”
Prosecutors said that Alex Murdaugh, the lawyer now on trial in the murders, was trying to cover his tracks when he offered a ready explanation to the police.
