listening to all that testimony, he figured he better get on that stand and say, okay, that's me. i think also that 911 call was really important. we heard a clip of it in that story. and that's important because mark ball, a longtime law partner of alex murdaugh's, you hear him on the 911 call, alex murdaugh saying, "i checked them both, i checked their pulse." he says that later to investigators. mark ball, a friend, a fellow law partner, testified murdaugh kept changing his story. one day he checked magfy girs, another day he checked paul first. that was critical because there were inconsistencies. the gps data that came in, gm onstar data being given to the prosecution late in their case showed that alex murdaugh arrived at the kennels just 20 seconds before calling 911. so the question is if he checked, ran to paul, ran to maggie, he tried to turn paul over a couple of times as he told the 911 operator, and later investigators, could he have done all of that in 20 seconds?
