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.
他一直对警察说，他有不在杀人现场的证明。结果，他儿子的手机里，发现一段录像，是他家的狗叼着一只鸡，摇着尾巴，录像里有Alex Murdaugh自己的声音，这段录像是他老婆和儿子被杀几分钟以前录的。
这个 prosecutor 和Alex的交火，还是很精彩的。
Alex不魁当过律师。
你们注意到没有？每次重要的回答之前，他一遍一遍重复检察官的问题，确认自己真理解了检察官的问题。
还有就是千万别去抢答对方律师提出的问题。需要确认你自己的律师同意你回答问题。如果你自己的律师不同意你回答问题，他会对法官说，“objection”，法官回答 “motion denied“ 或者 "motion accepted", 然后再回答问题。
