The Alex Murdaugh trial continued on Thursday with a series of witnesses taking the stand to testify about the defendant’s alleged financial crimes.

The first witness of the day was the CFO of Murdaugh’s former law firm. She testified that she had confronted Murdaugh about $792k in missing fees the morning his wife and son were killed.

The second witness was Murdaugh’s best friend, who wept on the stand over the betrayal.

The third witness was a colleague of Murdaugh’s, who detailed his alleged financial crimes to an empty jury box.

The trial is expected to continue on Friday with more witnesses and legal analysis.
