Paul Murdaugh, a resident of a small South Carolina community, has been at the center of a double murder trial that has rocked the town.

The trial began this week, with prosecutors claiming that a Snapchat video sent by Murdaugh the night he was killed is a critical part of the case.

Alex Murdaugh, Paul’s brother, is on trial for the murder of his wife and son. The prosecution has argued that Alex Murdaugh’s motive was financial gain.

The defense, however, is trying to bar blood spatter evidence from the trial, claiming that it is circumstantial and unreliable.

The trial has been closely watched by the local community, which is hoping for justice for the victims.

The Wall Street Journal has released a video explaining the Alex Murdaugh murder trial in five minutes.

The trial is expected to last for several weeks, and the outcome could have far-reaching implications for the Murdaugh family and the small South Carolina community.
