Alex Murdaugh admits he lied to investigators about his whereabouts the night of his wife and son’s murders

Alex Murdaugh took the stand to testify in his own double murder trial, admitting he lied to investigators about where he was the night his wife and son were murdered back in 2021. The once-prominent South Carolina attorney denied killing Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, telling the courtroom “no, I did not.” Criminal defense attorney Mark O’Mara tells Anderson Cooper whether he thinks Murdaugh’s decision to testify and his admission will hurt the defense.
