Alex Murdaugh, a South Carolina lawyer accused of killing his wife and son, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and two weapons charges. The defense has argued that the crime scene was not properly secured and that Murdaugh's financial misconduct should not be used as evidence against him. The prosecution has argued that Murdaugh's financial misconduct is relevant and that the crime scene was properly secured. It is unclear if Murdaugh will take the stand in his own defense, as the decision will be made at the last minute. The trial is ongoing and a verdict is expected soon.
