Steps Murdaugh News Today

>> did you murder paul? >> i would never hurt paul. >> court adjourned late today capping a stunning week by my measure. so what was it like in court today? >> well anderson, this was the first time we got to see the prosecutor question alex murdaugh about the night of the murders. he asked him what time he got to the kennels where the murder took place. and he asked them these questions repeatedly presumably to try to trip him up. but he kept coming back to the same theme. dont believ...

To that. >> reporter: waters tried to box murdaugh into a corner using cell phone data and time line evidence from the night of the murders. >> im still not absolutely certain how they ended up at the kennel. >> reporter: murdaugh told the jury he drove his golf cart to meet his wife and son at the kennels. he said that was just before paul murdaugh recorded this kennel video. murdaugh could be heard talking in the background. murdaugh estimated it is about a two-minute drive on the golf cart pu...

Have happened, it doesnt really make any sense. >> right. it is a very narrow time frame now that the defendant has admitted that was him at the kennels. he talked about the dogs not barking which reminded me of the famous sherlock holmes story. the motion that somebody would have shown up at exactly the right window when murdaugh himself would have left unarmed, knowing there would be guns available. driven out the way he did and left the wifes phone in that route. it does seem really implausib...

Actually dead? >> i think he was effective at times. it is kind of misleading when you play the clips you played but what they dont know is between all those great moments was fat. like a fatty steak. i like a lean filet mignon. on a cross-examination. you hit the high points and carefully craft every question you will ask that question. you get in and you get out. i think that murdaugh is now smiling. he is happier than five guys on a ski trip because he knows that while the prosecutor approach...

Cannels. >> you agree that your phone comes to life and starts showing a lot of steps. far more steps in a shorter time period than any time prior as you have seen from the testimony in this case. so what were you so busy doing? going to the bathroom? >> no. i didnt get on the treadmill. >> jog in place? >> no. i didnt jog in place. what i wasnt doing is doing anything as i believe you have implied i was washing off guns, putting guns in the raincoat. i can promise you i wasnt doing any of that....

With investigators backfired. >> other than lying to them about going to the kennel, i was cooperative in every aspect of this investigation. >> maybe the most important fact of all, you were at the murder scene with the victims were they died. >> reporter: the prosecutor did his best to make sure the jury knows now one other than alex murdaugh could have killed his son. >> you are telling the jury it is a random vigilante who happened to know they would be at the kennels alone on june 7th and k...

Call today? >> in this particular case, it was. i have been practicing for 30 years in spite of my extraordinarily youthful appearance and i have put on maybe two or three defendants. i dont like to put them on because i cant control what they are going to say. you never know how they are going to do. but he had to do it. he had to explain, my goodness, thats my voice on that video i. puts me at the scene. there are too many things he had to explain. and ultimately, i think he did well under the...
