Key revelations during Week 2 of the Alex Murdaugh double murder trial

∎In SLED interview, Murdaugh appears to say "It's just so bad, I did him so bad, when talking about son, Paul.

∎Two witnesses – close friends of Paul – testified that Murdaugh’s voice could be heard on a cell phone video taken by Paul, a video taken just minutes before the killings that shreds Murdaugh’s alibi and previous statements to police.

∎Maggie Murdaugh may have purchased, picked up, and delivered the very rifle that was used to take her life – a replacement Christmas gift for her slain son.

∎In followup SLED interview, Murdaugh tells police the last time he saw victims was when they ate supper; but state says it has cell phone video that proves otherwise, putting Murdaugh at the murder scene within minutes of the fatal shots.

∎For the first time, SLED agents confirm on the stand that the prosecution does not have any murder weapons in its arsenal of evidence.

∎Maggie Murdaugh's phone begins to bear witness to the final moments of her life.

∎PMPED attorney Danny Henderson was with Murdaugh during initial SLED interviews, and attorneys Mark Ball, Lee Cope and Ronnie Crosby met with SLED in Murdaugh’s gunroom as weapons were seized.

∎DNR officers and custom gunmaker John Bedingfield testified that he custom made three AR rifles for Murdaugh – but only one can be accounted for.

∎Cellular data reveals that Maggie and Paul’s phones ceased all “meaningful activity” around 8:49 p.m., leading police to believe they were killed around 8:50.

∎Phone calls on Maggie’s phone do not match calls on Murdaugh’s phone, leading police to believe that call log data from Murdaugh’s phone had been erased from the day of the killings.

∎Maggie texted a friend around 3:55 p.m. the day of the murders saying, “Alex wants me to come home” from Edisto.

∎A snapchat video uploaded around 7:39 shows Murdaugh wearing different clothes than the ones he was wearing when police arrived that night.

∎During cross examination, Murdaugh attorney Jim Griffin asked questions about Murdaugh’s character and brought up the fatal 2019 boat crash case – opening the door for the state to do the same.

∎Judge Clifton Newman may rule as early as Monday on whether Murdaugh’s alleged financial crimes can be used as evidence of motive in the killings.

∎What time was Maggie’s phone disposed of along Moselle Road, who did it, and why was it not found at the crime scene like Paul’s phone was?
