Welcome back to our live feed from the double homicide trial of disbarred attorney/ accused killer Alex Murdaugh – the man at the center of the ‘Murdaugh Murders’ crime and corruption saga.
Murdaugh stands accused of killing his wife, 52-year-old Maggie Murdaugh, and youngest son, 22-year-old Paul Murdaugh, on his family’s hunting property in Colleton County, South Carolina on June 7, 2021. He pleaded not guilty and is currently standing trial in Walterboro, S.C.
Today is day number nine of these proceedings – and is scheduled to kick off at 9:30 a.m. EST with a debate before judge Clifton Newman over the admissibility of evidence and testimony regarding the numerous financial crimes Murdaugh is staring down.
Murdaugh’s attorneys – led by state senator Dick Harpootlian and veteran trial lawyer Jim Griffin – have objected to the introduction of this evidence and testimony, arguing it is unfairly prejudicial to their client and violative of rule 404(b) of the South Carolina rules of criminal procedure.
According to that rule, evidence of “other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person.” However, the rule does permit such “prior bad acts” to be admitted in order “to show motive, identity, the existence of a common scheme or plan, the absence of mistake or accident, or intent.”
Prosecutors have long maintained the potential exposure of his alleged financial crimes was Murdaugh’s motive for murder, but lead prosecutor Creighton Waters saw this door open to him in a huge way during dramatic testimony on Wednesday.
And he charged through it …

Waters says he has another law firm employee, testimony regarding the confession of judgement in the Satterfield case, and a bank witness to establish the financial condition of Murdaugh at the time the murders occurred. He says in order for the jury “to understand the reality of what Murdaugh was facing, they have to understand the extent of what is being potentially being exposed.

5:22 p.m. EST – When Wilson asked Murdaugh about the fee repayment, he said he would get it soon but the money was tied up in his father’s estates. Murdaugh indicated he would possibly selling property soon. Wilson did not want to push him. On August 17, 2021, Wilson asked him to sign a prommisory note indicating he would pay him back.

5:15 p.m. EST – Wilson confirms to Waters that he did communicate with Murdaugh the night Paul and Maggie were murdered. He is crying and needs a tissue. A few weeks after the murders, Wilson asked Murdaugh if everything had been handled with the fees. Murdaugh said it was.

5:10 p.m. EST – Wilson states he had a conversation with Lee Cope the last week of May 2021 regarding these cost fees. Lee asked him if all the money had been disbursed.

Wilson did not know about this email until September of 2021. Vicki received another email from Annette which was an email toward the end of May 2021 that was sent by Jeanne Seckinger that said something to the effect of, “Alex thought he was owed more costs in the case.

4:58 p.m. EST – As Waters continues to go through the financial records related to reimbursements and other payments with Wilson, his command of these complicated financial issues is impressive.

Murdaugh’s financial crimes are key to this case. Paul was a financial and legal liability because of Paul’s BUI and boat crash that resulted in the fatality of Mallory Beach as well as injuries to the other passengers.
Apparently, to some reports, Maggie was shopping for divorce attorneys in Charleston.
Both of them would knockdown Alex’s financial house of cards.
Bill Young? The guy that sued his former partner Ryan Montgomery while Ryan was dying from brain cancer? You must not be able to get anyone else to talk to you.
Also, I don’t think Bill’s ever handled a criminal case in his life.
defense may have opened the door to this entire line of evidence right from their opening statement, “what kind of man?”, “what kind of father, husband?” and then trying to portray their client as a loving father and husband to sow reasonable doubt. what kind of man? let me tell you, the kind that steals money from the grieving families of his clients, steals from his own partners, without remorse, the kind who has been doing it for years and is afraid its about to all come crashing down
I’m not an attorney and do not claim to know civil rules of procedure so, maybe an attorney on here can explain. Judge Newton just went over Rule 404 and explained how the defense erroneously objected to state’s line of questioning of witness Loving, presumably in an effort to thwart admission of AM’s financial crimes. Since the defense did not state the grounds under which it was objecting, the judge overruled the objection as the state appeared to be developing its theory of motive which would be permitted under 404(b)(2). My question is, since on redirect, the defense attempted to offer evidence that AM exuded characteristics of a PEACEFUL, loving, doting father, who by all accounts was financially secure – blah blah blah. Would/Could the state have under Rule 404(B)(i) to not only introduce evidence to rebut the fact that he was financially erect BUT ALSO that AM was an AVID HUNTER [ie, KILLER] who possessed predatory attributes and skills to to lay in wait?
Can the defense flip the script if the financial evidence is allowed? AM stole alot of money from alot of people and I’m sure there’s quite a bit of animosity and hostility for AM. Am I correct that the defense has proven Paul was irresponsible with the guns? They were left around Moselle and in pickup trucks? Could defense use this to create reasonable doubt? Perhaps a victim or a victims family member of AM’s embezzlement was seeking revenge?
Is the trafficking victim he brutalized on the witness list, as another voice to answer what kind of person he is?
Suggest to the State that they also ask friends and family on the stand whether they would have ever guessed MA would participate in alcohol- and drug-fueled parties with prostitutes; be a drug addict; steal from clients and his own firm, stage his own fake attempted murder, and so on.
Amen to the potential importance of that interview. Prosecution clearly believe the slew of sex-related pieces of the puzzle will only create confusion and potentially damage their case. Stephen Smith murderers (perhaps sitting in courtroom or serving as witnesses are temporarily off the hook. Hopefully their day in court will eventually happen.
I can’t hold it back any longer….Creighton is AWESOME! I enjoy listening to him – he keeps it short & to the point, with confidence. He really is fired up and on point. And the smirk on his face when Mrs. Seckinger replies to Jim, “It’s not hearsay if they said it to me.” PRICELESS ?
Can you give us percentages on the voting? A pie chart does it easily show the changes.
Why is timeline listed backwards. So hard to read. Start with with earliest time & list reporting down. I had to quit trying.
Creighton Waters is amazing! Full command of all the facts and their implications…concise and to the point!
