Alex Murdaugh trial live stream: Closing arguments conclude

Alex Murdaugh's double murder trial will continue with the defense's closing arguments at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Murdaugh's defense team is expected to be quick to point out issues of reasonable doubt, such as the lack of a "smoking gun" and eyewitnesses in this case. But Creighton Waters, S.C. Attorney General prosecutor, concluded in his afternoon of closing remarks on Wednesday with, "We couldn't bring you the eyewitnesses, because they were murdered."

Murdaugh, who faces life in prison without parole, is charged with the June 7, 2021, killings of his wife, Maggie, and younger son, Paul - crimes to which he has pleaded not guilty.

"Maggie and Paul deserve a voice," Waters said. "They need a voice because they can no longer speak."
