Jurors hear about blue rain jacket in Alex Murdaugh trial
Associated PressJurors at Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial in South Carolina heard evidence Tuesday that gunshot residue was found inside a rain jacket found at his mother’s home three months after his wife and son were killed. Later Tuesday, once of Murdaugh’s law partners testified about how his firm found out Murdaugh was stealing money and also about trying to collect birdshot from the scene of the shootings at the Murdaugh property the day after the deaths but stopping because they were sickened by the gore still around after the crime scene agents left. Defense attorneys asked the judge to prevent further testimony about the raincoat after the caretaker for Murdaugh’s ailing mother testified that she saw him bring a “blue something, looked like a tarp” into his mother’s home nine days after the killings. Tuesday’s testimony started with Jeanne Seckinger, who is the office manager and chief financial officer for the law firm Murdaugh’s family founded more than a century ago.
