Tense scene unfolds at Alex Murdaugh trial as he gets grilled over his 'vigilante' claims

Raw Story  

Alex Murdaugh clashed with prosecutor Creighton Waters on Friday after he suggested that someone inspired by social media had targeted his family. Murdaugh testified that social media posts about his son Paul, who was facing legal action over a drunken boating accident in 2019 which resulted in the death of one of his friends, might have inspired someone to attack his family. "I believe when Paul was charged criminally, there were so many leaks, half truths, half reports, half statements, partial information, misrepresentations of Paul that ended up in the media all the time," Murdaugh added.
