“Why did you lie?†Alex Murdaugh’s attorney Jim Griffin asked him referencing the numerous inconsistencies in the disgraced lawyer’s timeline from June 7, 2021, the night his wife and son were murdered. The disbarred South Carolina attorney claimed that his substance addiction caused him to be paranoid and overwhelmed by all of the circumstances, resulting in him lying while speaking to investigators.

Keep lying an lick them dry lips it’s gonna help in cell block D there’s a whole bunch of lip licking in prison
Anybody could do your cheap act easily!!!
Crocodile tears 😂
you lied about not being at the Kennels to the 911 operator, you said you were not there then! and then the very first officer that arrived there, he wasn't even there 3 minutes and you offered that lie to him from the get go, you are a liar and anything you say from here on is a fg lie!
At 1:20 look how the lies just flow. Theres no repeating questions or stammering it just comes out smooth as glass. Except for the cottonmouth and lip licking because his fight or flight response is kicking off
Why is he smacking his lips sounds like he’s chewing something throughout the interview
why does he smack his lips like he's chewing food so much?? Ive been on pain meds for the past 6 years, and have never felt paranoid from them…they don't make you feel paranoid, they make you feel relaxed.. What a lame excuse he came up with..
He’s sorry to bubuh, mag pie, papa t, pawpaw, ro ro, the po po, buster…
Why don’t they ask, “tell me what your relationship was like with Paul before he passed away?â€
As close to a confession of guilt regarding these murders as we are gonna get from Alex! Absolute turning point of this trial!
This is exactly when the jury decided he was guilty. It was looking pretty close up until here, imo. Admitting you lied over and over about being at the crime scene that night sealed his fate.
This psycho was so Selfish that he had to kill them in order to save himself (via Lies).
He lied because he was on drugs.. yea, yea, yea 🙄
What INNOCENT husband & father would LIE about critical moments when your family was murdered? He’s a good talker. This is how he was able to manipulate & steal millions from those who trusted him. He’s a murderer.
Omg I just can’t with this guy, he’s pathetic, this sniveling act he’s got down makes me sick.
I don't understand his reason for lying. Did he say bc he was high and didn't remember? What does what he said even mean?
Will they re-examine his previous cases because of his admission of drugs/lying and embezzling???
Not under oath also Dude wtf HOW COME THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR LYING UNDER OATH ABOUT THE SHOTGUNS LOAD OR THE FUQING SHIRT IS NOT CLIPPED?!
If Alex admits to a drug addiction, rest assured he is "diverting" the truth and his addiction is something else… gambling perhaps??? Where is all the money? Gambling makes sense in the need for money. If drugs were the addiction he could just get prescriptions from various doctors and have his medical insurance cover the cost.
Buster knows he knows. Why is he not outraged for his mother and brother.
I just hope he doesn’t get away with the murder!
Prosecution: “Mr. Murdaugh… if you are telling us that once you start lying, you just continue to lie, how do you expect us to believe anything you say�
AM: “Yes sirâ€
The only paranoid thinking this man had was being found out for the lying cheat he was. Shame on him. There was no theft. The only reason anyone killed the wife and son was because of the insurance money. No jewelry was taken. No expensive items. It was all about insurance money.
An innocent person would have absolutely nothing to HIDE!!!!!!!
He admits on June 7th he wasn’t thinking clearly and he doesn’t think he was capable of reason..makes it all possible for him to commit this murder
GUILTY. GUILTY. GUILTY. Case closed.
So,you lied because of your addiction, and you killed them for the same reason too. Unintentionally, right?
This guy is guilty as sin. Testifying was a mistake. I’d convict him after this testimony.
Manipulators gonna manipulate.
his sniffs sound so dry. and i don't see any tears. hm.
Why did you continue to lie?
Because why not? I'm good at it, Sir.
"I would never do anything intentionally to hurt either one of them."
For me, this is a little red flag. On its own it doesn't mean much but within a long list of red flags it's concerning.
Saying "I would never…" instead of "I didn't," "either one of them" instead of using their names and saying "hurt" instead of killed/murdered are all indicative of using distancing language and POSSIBLY suggest deception.
THAT was a coached "testimony" written by the SHADY attorney !!
Pure EVIL done by a DRAMA Queen !!
He also said he's been drug free for months…probably another lie. Much more likely he needed a fix and saw Paul and Maggie as an obstacle
Secondly why mistrust of SLED? They all worked together in the past.
Was terrified of being prosecuted on financial crimes, and now hopes only to be convicted of those crimes so that he can spend his time at Club Fed. Only reason he's admitting to those crimes. Yet, it wasn't his fault, it was the drugs made him do it, still not taking responsibility of crimes.
I wish they would take the gum from him.
He’s a damned liar! He shot & killed his wife & Paul! Dirty SOB liar!!
insane that we excuse habitual liars in court just because they have consistently lied in the past. blows my mind so much that I literally cannot comprehend it. just like Casey Anthony. was there a reason to lie if she was innocent? HAH. but if you normally are an honest person and the court catches you in a lie you're screwed. insanity
2 different guns were used could someone else be involved
"After finding Mags and Paul.. Paw Paw" Hmmmm…. Havin nicknames is not making us feel more sympathetic
There is so much wrong with this guy. Someone should study him for they PhD thesis in psychology.
Alex's Defense "they're already dead, so I won't do it again"
He's a lawyer, he feels like he KNOWS how juries "work" and believes he can put that mustard seed of doubt into one of them. He's guilty.
A habitual liar is so confident of his lying that he will always lie when he is caught with another lie. Deny, deny, deny the liars creed. Well his respect for not hurting them didn't stop you from robbing for your deceitful life of many years and doing drugs till you were caught. Drug addicts will always, that is always, fall back on their addiction, as what drove them to horrendous crimes. Most of all he is sorry for himself. Once he lied 20 years ago he has never stopped.
Innocent man. Good man. Wish I was on that jury
Alright, whose bright idea was it to put him on the stand.
Why would his lawyer let him take the stand?
I'm not sure of the time-line. Could he have murdered them to keep the knowledge of his massive thefts from them?
Boy oh boy…. He just cooked his own goose.
