ccording to depositions filed last week, the group of six attended an oyster roast on Paukie Island by boat on Feb. 23, 2019. It was cold and foggy.
Adults at the party asked them not to take the boat back because of foggy and misty weather conditions.
Some offered to drive them. But that didn’t happen, and the group left around midnight.
According to testimony, Paul was intoxicated at the party and insisted on driving his boat back.
Murdaugh’s cousin says he knew Murdaugh was drunk before leaving the party and offered to call an Uber for the group. But he says they wanted to ride back on the boat.
Some in the group also wanted to stop for one last drink which caused an argument with others who didn't.
While at a bar in downtown Beaufort, Murdaugh got into an argument. The group then left and Murdaugh insisted on driving his boat back.
A friend and a relative testified about Paul's intoxicated and erratic behavior moments before the crash.
Murdaugh’s cousin, Anthony Cook, says he then got into an altercation with his girlfriend aboard the boat. He slapped, yelled and cursed at her.
