Jurors Get to See Alex Murdaugh’s Third Police Grilling

South Carolina prosecutors on Wednesday showed jurors Alex Murdaugh’s third police interview, in which the disgraced lawyer is seen aggressively grilling investigators about the status of his wife and son’s murder investigation before being confronted with the wild inconsistencies in his alibi for that night.
