Murdaugh Murder Trial Enters Its Sixth Week

54-year-old Murdaugh is on trial facing charges for the death of his wife, Maggie, and youngest son, Paul.

The trial against Alex Murdaugh entered its sixth week Monday morning.

54-year-old Murdaugh is on trial facing charges for the death of his wife, Maggie, and youngest son, Paul.

Murdaugh himself took the stand last week and maintains that he did not kill his wife or son.

Prosecutors rested their case last week after calling their last witness to the stand but announced they have one rebuttal witness they intend to call.

The defense is expected to rest their case this week with plans to call four witnesses to the stand.

After the defense wraps up their case, both sides will deliver their closing arguments and the jury will then begin deliberations, but not before jurors get to visit the South Carolina home where the killings took place.
