Disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh is back on the witness stand Friday in his double murder trial, facing cross-examination from a prosecutor determined to make him recount every time he lied to a client.
Murdaugh, 54, is on trial in the deaths of his wife and son near kennels at their Colleton County home in June 2021. But in two hours of cross-examination Thursday, prosecutor Creighton Waters didn’t mention those killings.
Instead, he focused on how Murdaugh liked to flash the badge he got as a volunteer prosecutor helping out on cases with his father and the millions of dollars Murdaugh stole from his law firm and clients.
Prosecutors have said Murdaugh killed his wife and son to gain sympathy to buy time because his financial misdeeds were about to be discovered.
