We're back. The jury has sent Judge Newman a note asking him to remind the audience that their identities are to remain secret. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before.

State prosecutor is so much more clear, easy to follow and precise, polar opposite of DH.

Harpootlian cross-examination

Yet again in this trial, we are hearing about non-graphic exhibits, including layouts of the Moselle property, that we cannot see. Harpootlian is using a large stick to point at things on the exhibit. We can't see what.


Buster and John Marvin Murdaugh are in the courtroom today in their usual seats behind Alex.

Judge Newman seems annoyed that Harpootlian is taking so long between questions. Sends the jury out of the room for a break and told the lawyers he will give them a few minutes to pre-mark exhibits and determine what they agree on and what don’t.

My impression: lots of lawyers/support staff working for either side, lots of reporters, some lawyers who represent potential witnesses, some lawyers who are legal analysts for news outlets covering the case, some Murdaugh relatives, very few folks from the general public.

Harpootlian seems to be questioning SLED's Worley about the state's bullet trajectory analysis at the crime scene. Not sure sure where this is going, but it does seem to be going somewhere now for the first time today.

Nancy Grace is also in the courtroom today.
Harpootlian is suggesting the state's bullet trajectory analysis opens up the possibility that there were two shooters, given the distance between where the shots that killed Paul were fired from and where the shots at Maggie were fired from.

Harpootlian: “Doesn’t this indicate to you there were two shooters? … Is it a possibility that there were two shooters?” Worley suggests the shooter could have moved.

Harpootlian: “One explanation could be that there were two shooters? ... One explanation. Not ‘the’ explanation. Worley: “Not the only one.”

Harpootlian establishes with Worley that investigators were unable to establish a number of bloody footprints on scene, as well as a potential footwear impression of dirt/mud on Maggie's calf, because investigators on scene didn't recognize them as footwear impressions.

Harpootlian points out one of the bloody footprints in the feed room where Paul was killed belonged to a deputy. H: “Is that preservation of the scene that your standards require?” W: “Not exactly, no.” H: “Not exactly. Should police be walking through the scene?” W: “No.”

A Colleton County sheriff's deputy testified earlier that SLED dive teams did search waterways on the property for any evidence, including guns. They didn't find the murder weapons.

Harpootlian is now questioning Worley about SLED's testing of Murdaugh's clothes from that evening, including his shorts and white T-shirt.

Harpootlian ends his cross-examination. State prosecutor Savanna Goude is back up to question Worley.





Goude references the dirt on Maggie’s leg that Harpootlian mentioned. "Do we even know if that’s a shoeprint? Worley: “No.”

We heard a lot last week about the presence of water on the scene, including near Paul. (We didn't hear about the significance of the water). Prosecutors at one point tried to get a deputy to opine about whether there was blood in that water. But Harpootlian objected to stop it.

Now, Harpootlian asks SLED's Worley if she tested the water for blood or if anyone asked her to do so. Worley says no.

We're taking a 10 minute break.

As you may have learned, time works a little differently around here.

We're back. The jury has sent Judge Newman a note asking him to remind the audience that their identities are to remain secret. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before.
