“It really infuriated me … it was still a pretty raw scene.”
A former law partner of accused killer Alex Murdaugh testified Wednesday that police investigating the killing of Murdaugh’s wife and son did a shoddy job clearing the scene, even leaving behind a piece of a skull “the size of a baseball.”
“And there was a large bloodspot tissue out right off of the apron of that area right outside the feed room. That was there and it’s kind of like walking across the grave just it’s one of those things you just don’t do.”He testified that he was one of more than a dozen of Alex Murdaugh’s former law partners and friends to walk around the bloody scene shortly after Maggie, 52, and Paul, 22, were shot to death.
It was also raining lightly, Ball recalled, and the runoff from a roof had been falling onto Paul’s body as officers investigated, which a crime scene reconstruction expert later testified could have caused evidence to be lost.
