The lead state prosecutor said that only Richard 'Alex' Murdaugh could have killed his wife and son, telling the jury that the now-disbarred South Carolina lawyer was 'living a lie' and sought to use the murders to cover his tracks
The case has drawn intense media coverage given the family's immense political power in and around Colleton County, where the trial is taking place. For decades until 2006, family members served as the leading prosecutor in the area, and Murdaugh was a prominent personal injury attorney in the state.
