The trial of Alex Murdaugh continued today as the prosecution presented evidence linking the defendant to the deaths of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh. The victims were the defendant’s uncle and aunt.

The prosecution’s star witness was the son of the Murdaughs’ former housekeeper, who testified that Alex Murdaugh had settled with his family for more than $4 million in exchange for their silence about the deaths.

The defense attempted to counter this testimony by introducing evidence that the housekeeper’s son had a criminal record.

The prosecution then called a DNA and ballistics expert who presented a detailed reconstruction of the events leading up to the Murdaughs’ deaths. The expert testified that the Murdaughs’ bodies were found with gunshot wounds and that the defendant’s DNA was found on the murder weapon.

The prosecution also presented evidence that the defendant had been in possession of the victim’s missing cell phone.

The trial is expected to continue for several more days, with the defense presenting its case in the coming days.
