The murder conviction of Alex Murdaugh, a South Carolina lawyer from an influential family, is the latest twist in the web of accusations, investigations and lawsuits that led to his downfall.
In closing arguments, the lead prosecutor said Alex Murdaugh killed his wife and son to hide financial crimes. The once-influential lawyer has insisted on his innocence.
It is rare for jurors to visit crime scenes, and doing so can be a risk for both the prosecution and defense. Closing arguments were scheduled for later on Wednesday.
