The 54-year-old has been accused of the 2021 killings of his 52-year-old Maggie Murdaugh and 22-year-old Paul Murdaugh. He has argued not liable to the charges. “I will affirm,” Murdaugh told a South Carolina judge on Thursday before one more observer for the guard was momentarily called to the stand. “I need to affirm.”

‘Once I lied, I continued to lie … ‘Oh, what a tangled web we weave.’’

Murdaugh seemed to get profound after he stood up. He denied shooting his better half and child on June 7, 2021. The shooting toom place at the Murdaugh family’s property in Colleton District South Carolina. “I didn’t shoot my significant other or my child any time, ever,” he said because of his lawyer. “I could never purposefully effectively hurt both of them. Ever. Ever.”

He likewise conceded that he more than once misled South Carolina Policing examiners about the last time he saw his significant other and child before they were killed. He alluded to his significant other and child by nicknames “Mags” and “Pau” separately — nicknames that were heard interestingly during the preliminary. He said that his voice could be heard on a cellphone video taken at the pet hotels where his significant other and child were killed around five minutes before the shootings.

Murdaugh appeared to be speechless as he said that he misled SLED specialists about his whereabouts the evening of the killings. He pinned his lying on his doubt of policing suspicion instigated by chronic drug use. Murdaugh was treated for oxycodone reliance after the homicides. “I lay to them,” he said. “I wasn’t thinking plainly. I don’t think I was equipped for reason and I lied about being down there and Please accept my apologies that I did.”

His declaration has circulated around the web on Twitter and this is the way individuals are responding to it:

Alex Murdaugh just admitted in court under oath that he lied about not being at the kennel where his wife and son were murdered. He blamed lying on his addiction paranoia. Fake crying the whole time. He thought this would exonerate him. This narcissistic POS JUST SEALED HIS FATE
