How Paul Murdaugh testified "from the grave" to help convict his father
CBSN
It was a field trip to a ghost town. Off a country road, the procession turned slowly up the long driveway of the imposing property. The convoy held the jury in the double murder trial of Alex Murdaugh. 911 OPERATOR: What's your emergency? 911 DISPATCHER: 911, where's your emergency? ALEX MURDAUGH to 911: This is Alex Murdaugh at 4147 Moselle Road. 911 OPERATOR: Is he moving at all? Your son? I know you said that she was shot. But what about your son? ALEX MURDAUGH to 911: Somebody stopped to help me … and they tried to shoot me. CELL PHONE VIDEO: Voice 1: It's guinea. Voice 2: It's a chicken. Voice 3: Come here, Bubba …
"Moselle" is the hunting lodge of the Murdaugh family — Alex, his wife Maggie, and sons Paul and Buster. ALEX MURDAUGH: This is Alex Murdaugh. My wife and child have been shot badly. CONNOR COOK: We're in a boat crash on Archers Creek. ALEX MURDAUGH (cries): Nobody — they're not — neither one of them's moving.
The jury was taken to the dog kennels and the small feed room where Paul had been shot at close range with a shotgun. A few yards away, Maggie was shot several times with a 300 rifle. Neither weapon has ever been found.
