We have heard recordings of Alec telling LE that he was never down at the kennels -- that he watched TV and took a nap.
I’ll just point you here to my earlier response to this. The question I am answering is how the defense will attempt to counter this testimony. Not whether the testimony is true, false, doctored, forged, coerced, etc.
The question I was responding to was how the defense would account for Alex’s proximity to the kennels prior to the murders.
Your second sentence here is exactly what I said in my second sentence. Which is the important distinction.
When you are tied to a story, you have to attack witness credibility to counter. Or you say that you recalled incorrectly due to stress or dismay from the trauma of the situation. Which is why I answered the way I did; that’s what I think the defense will attempt to show.
I’m not cheerleading for Murdaugh here. He is clearly a , fraud, thief, con man. But I’m not blind to the problems the prosecution needs to cover to secure a conviction.
