1920 - 2006, a Murdaugh was a Solicitor, the chief prosecutor. #MurdaughTrial
We're going through Alex's legal career. #MurdaughTrial
Alex was a successful litigator. He was even President of the Trial Lawyers Association. #MurdaughTrial
CORRECTION: Alex is Richard! His brother is Randolph. #MurdaughTrial
He's had cases where cell data & GPS were relevant to the case. #MurdaughTrial
People viewed Alex as a successful lawyer, but he did not view himself that way. People viewed him as prominent, but he doesn't think that. #MurdaughTrial
His family was respected & well thought of. He won't say flat out they were prominent. They had a long association with law enforcement. #MurdaughTrial
Alex was a volunteer assistant Solicitor. #MurdaughTrial
He got his Solicitor's badge from his father. 1998 - 2021, he was involved in 5 trials, all with his Dad. #MurdaughTrial
The civil & the criminal system has a lot of differences, as well as a lot of similarities. #MurdaughTrial
In a civil case, the GM data wouldn't have been admitted. #MurdaughTrial
Alex was the sole financial provider for his family. #MurdaughTrial
The 2 badges are admitted into evidence. #MurdaughTrial
There was no rhyme or reason as to where Alex kept the badge. #MurdaughTrial
LE is friendlier when you're LE. #MurdaughTrial
Alex did not consider himself LE. But he did take advantage of getting better treatment if he got pulled over by having the badge viewable. #MurdaughTrial
He did not take an oath when he got the badge. #MurdaughTrial
He was the volunteer assistant Solicitor under Duffie Stone. #MurdaughTrial
The card that was given to him says Alex was a Deputy Solicitor. Deputy has a higher rank than Assistant. #MurdaughTrial
Alex had blue lights, but no government vehicle. He had them installed by Eddie Gibson. Eddie does that work for the Sheriff's Department. #MurdaughTrial
The Sheriff gave him permission to do that. #MurdaughTrial
Alex has never called Paul "Paw Paw" or Rogan "Ro Ro" in any of the recorded statements the jury has heard. #MurdaughTrial
On the night of the boat wreck, Alex was not acting in any official capacity. #MurdaughTrial
CW enters a photo of AM with his badge sticking out at the hospital the night of the boat wreck. #MurdaughTrial
There was a time that AM wanted to be the Solicitor. #MurdaughTrial
But he was already struggling with pills so he knew he couldn't do it. #MurdaughTrial
Alex never told anybody not to cooperate with LE the night of the boat crash. #MurdaughTrial
We're back to a trial within a trial. Creighton is practicing for the financial trial. #MurdaughTrial
Judge Newman can't take it anymore. He adjourns Court for the day. 🙌🏾 #MurdaughTrial
Dick asks if the two experts they flew in can take the stand tomorrow morning before the State continues with #AlexMurdaugh's cross. Waters says he doesn't want his cross-exam interrupted. Judge says he won't make CW interrupt his XE. #MurdaughTrial
CW says he is not good at guessing how much longer his cross may be, but it's probably going to be about 3-4 more hours. So I'm guessing probably all day tomorrow will be more like it. #MurdaughTrial
