1:16Now PlayingAttorneys delivered opening statements in the trial of ex-lawyer Alex Murdaugh, who is charged with killing his wife and son.
RELATEDMurdaugh murder trial begins in South Carolina
Prosecutors in a double murder trial involving a prominent former South Carolina attorney delivered opening arguments Wednesday claiming that a barrage of evidence would persuade jurors that Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife and son.
Lead prosecutor Creighton Waters alleged a "perfect storm" was brewing before Murdaugh, 54, killed his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and son, Paul Murdaugh, in June 2021. Dick Harpootlian, Murdaugh's defense attorney, stressed Murdaugh's innocence until proven guilty to the jury and disputed the reliability of the state's evidence as "theories."
Attorneys have listed more than 200 potential witnesses who may be called to testify after opening statements. The South Carolina Attorney General's Office is seeking life in prison if Murdaugh is convicted.
