Alex Murdaugh’s theft of millions of dollars was about to be revealed so he killed his wife and son to buy time to figure a way out, a prosecutor said Wednesday during closing arguments in the disgraced South Carolina attorney’s murder trial.
Fearing his years of stealing from his law firm and clients would be exposed and hoping to maintain his lofty standing in the community, Murdaugh killed his wife and younger son in the hopes it would make him a sympathetic figure and draw attention away from the missing money, prosecutor Creighton Waters told jurors.
他一直對警察說,他有不在殺人現場的證明。結果,他兒子的手機裏,發現一段錄像,是他家的狗叼著一隻雞,搖著尾巴,錄像裏有Alex Murdaugh自己的聲音,這段錄像是他老婆和兒子被殺幾分鍾以前錄的。
這個 prosecutor 和Alex的交火,還是很精彩的。
Alex不魁當過律師。
你們注意到沒有?每次重要的回答之前,他一遍一遍重複檢察官的問題,確認自己真理解了檢察官的問題。
還有就是千萬別去搶答對方律師提出的問題。需要確認你自己的律師同意你回答問題。如果你自己的律師不同意你回答問題,他會對法官說,“objection”,法官回答 “motion denied“ 或者 "motion accepted", 然後再回答問題。
