Alex Murdaugh Jurors Speak Out After Murder Verdict, Call Him A 'Good Liar'

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Alex Murdaugh’s decision to take the stand and testify in his double murder trial sealed his fate, said several jurors from the case who alleged that his sobbing on the stand “wasn’t genuine” and that it appeared as though it could be turned “on and off.” “No, I didn’t think he was crying. “We were able to read right through that,” juror James McDowell said of the fourth-generation attorney’s dramatic emotions while pleading his innocence on the stand. “I think that he believes he’s so convincing that he felt like that was his last resort.” Alex Murdaugh is led through the courtroom for his sentencing at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina, on Friday, the day after he was found guilty in the murder of his wife and son. Generette suggested it was “greed” and McDowell said it may have been a wide combination of things, as Murdaugh’s life appeared to be in shambles at the time of the killings.
