Description
For better or worse, the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office and Dick and Jim have given us even more insight into the events that might have led to Maggie and Paul Murdaugh’s murders and the evidence that investigators say proves Alex Murdaugh is their killer. Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the most startling revelations from Alex’s latest hearing and take a look at a case that Dick Harpootlian is using to throw doubt on SLED’s bloodstain expert’s findings that Alex’s shirt was covered in spatter.
