Summary
Jurors learned today that Paul and Maggie Murdaugh were shot at close range. Dr. Kenneth Kinsey testified about the graphic wounds the pair sustained. Kensey said the first shot didn't kill Paul.
In fact, Paul stood for a moment and began moving toward his killer, before he was hit with the second fatal shot. Kensey told jurors that the blood pattern proved this.
Judge Clifton Newman also reversed his decision about allowing testimony on Murdaugh's alleged botched suicide plot. Judge Clifton Newman initially announced he would prohibit jurors from hearing evidence about Alex’s alleged botched attempt, but will now allow it after the defense opened the door with questions about Murdaugh's drug abuse and drug contacts.

| 0:00.0 | The Judge has let the jury go for their lunch recess and just before they walked out he appointed |
| 0:18.3 | Girard, I believe he said number 826 as the four person of the jury. |
| 0:25.4 | Now I don't know that the jury voted on the four person, did the judge select the |
| 0:32.0 | four person for the jury but that signifies to me that this case is moving along. |
| 0:38.8 | God willing nobody else gets sick and falls off the jury. |
| 0:41.8 | I mean it's he graced, this is crime stories. |
| 0:44.1 | Thank you for being with us. |
| 0:45.2 | We are live at the courthouse and that jury has seen and heard a lot of evidence today including |

| 0:59.5 | But first I want you to watch this. |
| 1:01.8 | Now there was a time and I remember it well when every statement and or confession was |
| 1:08.9 | not videotaped. |
| 1:11.6 | And that's a real danger of trial because it allows the defense to get a toe in the door |
| 1:17.5 | and claim that there was torture, that there was a beating, that there was all sorts of coercion |
| 1:24.6 | in order to get a statement. |
| 1:26.4 | But when you have a video there's no way to misinterpret what happened in that interrogation |

| 1:44.3 | Maggie and Paul in our cut two. |
| 1:46.9 | Did you kill Maggie? |
| 1:48.0 | No. |
