Summary
Bombshells in the Murdaugh courtroom today as the defense asked for the jury to be taken to Mozelle. Â
Defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said he wants the jury to see the family's rural hunting lodge, so before jurors move to deliberations, they will be allowed to walk through the crime scene. Â
Also today a defense witness seemed to contradict another defense witness who claimed the shooter was around 5'2".  Today's expert testified that the shooter would be taller than Maggie or Paul Murdaugh.Â

| 0:23.5 | But there was a bombshell at the very beginning of the morning. |
| 0:27.6 | Take a listen to our cut for. |
| 0:30.3 | We believe it would be useful for the jury to see, visit Mozel, both the area in the |
| 0:38.5 | area of the kennels and the house just to get some understanding of the spatial relationships. |
| 0:46.7 | And so what we would ask is that you ask the jury if they want to do that. |
| 0:51.6 | I mean, I know I wouldn't, if they don't want to do it, I don't want them to do it. |

| 1:00.4 | way. |
| 1:01.4 | You know, I am not, the state is not asking for their to be a jury of you of the scene. |
| 1:04.6 | And if anything, I think that they're without require additional testimony, because the |
| 1:08.7 | scene is different than it existed on the night of June 7th, 2021. |
| 1:13.1 | Generally jury views are at the request of a party and time requesting. |
