Alex Murdaugh viewed seemingly random content on his phone, including a restaurant and a text about a woman in a bikini, after alerting police of his wife and son's murders.
Criminal defense attorney Jonna Spilbor weighs in on the Alex Murdaugh trial on 'Sunday Night In America.'
"He would seem to be in a state of shock," defense attorney Phillip Barber said of Murdaugh."None of that makes any sense, does it? You're not going to Google the name of a restaurant after you find your son murdered." Directly after placing the 911, Alex also called one of his son's best friends, Rogan Gibson, who had been in touch with Paul throughout the evening on June 7 and continued to call him after he was shot to death. Alex placed the call to Gibson after calling John Marvin Murdaugh and Randy Murdaugh, his brothers.
Alex is charged in Maggie and Paul's murders. Prosecutors allege that he killed his loved ones in an effort to draw attention away from his 99 alleged financial crimes totaling about $9 million, which were beginning to come to light in the summer of 2021.
