  Speaker 1: watch is over. Finally, an end to a saga that

  Speaker 1: and Paul Murdog were found dead and bloodied, riddled with

  Speaker 1: three two twenty three. Alex Murdog is the one who
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: called nine one one. At this hour. There are police
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: officers and sheriffs circling the courthouse around me with their
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: blue lights on. The lawn is crowded with spectators, with newspeople,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: with people from the community, people that have driven from
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: states far away, as far away I know as Ohio
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to here in South Carolina for the Murdoch trial. Why
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: why has everyone been so intrigued with whether or not
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Alex Murdog did it. I'll tell you why, because it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: as if the mind is tricking the eye. You see
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a beautiful, seemingly happy family, a wealthy, educated, seemingly adjusted
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in their society happy with each other. How can it
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: be that double murder has a occurred within that family?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And for that outward picture, many people believed Alex Murdog
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: was innocent. But one layer after the next, after the next,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: after the next proved Alex Murdog is guilty of a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: crime that is practically unthinkable. A man was so much
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the legal heir in Colleton County, millions of dollars, three
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: homes of beautiful wife, two sons to follow in his
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: footsteps if they wish. Why? That was the question that
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: plagued this jury. But in a very quick turnaround, this
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: jury has handed down a verdict guilty on all counts,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: read out by the court clerk, Miss Becky straight out
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to Cheryl McCullum, who has been watching the trial from
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the very beginning, forensic expert and founder of the Cold
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Case Research Institute, are you surprised because Alex Vernock did
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: not look surprised and white with him. I wasn't surprised
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: at all. I even said the jury was back in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: three hours. This is a white Paul justice has been first.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You know, as we were looking out over the jury
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: over and over and over, watching their every move, their
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: facial expressions, Kelly. They never gave it away, not once,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: not once. In fact, many court spectators were torn as
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to whether this jury would ever reach a verdict. I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: think I've got Kelly skin with me. When you get
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: her back on her satellite, let me know. To you,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Del Carson, what do you make of it? Evidence? Uncontrovertible evidence.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He was the only person there, and I know when
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I want to launched the testimony of the woman who
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was taking care of the dying mother, his mother. I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: watched him and you could see just the constant sort
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of deflection. He was scratching his face when when the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: defense the prosecutor was bringing up the fact that the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: caregiver was crying on the stand because it was a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: good family and she didn't want to tell the truth
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: about him asking for the additional forty minutes or twenty
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: minutes to help shore up his alibi. When you watched Murdoch,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you could see the stress bleeding out of his face
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: because he knew that was the last person who should
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have believed him and clearly did not believe him and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: had to tell the truth. And it was fascinating for
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: me to watch that, and it clear to me and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: as Cheryl McCullum will say, you know, it's what he
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: didn't do. So at the very beginning when Sledge showed
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: up on the scene, and he's not saying to them,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: why aren't you all out looking for the people who
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: did this horrible deed. Those kinds of things are an
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: indication that he knew there wasn't anybody else out there
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: because he knew her the shooter was. It was him
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with me. Doctor Michelle Dupree, medical examiner, a pathologist, detective
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and author. Doctor Dupree question to you, this is your jurisdiction.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: What do you make the medical examiner on the stand,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: she was under attack, doctor Reemer, but she withstood a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: very intense cross examination, and that jury was sitting on
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the edge of their seats throughout her testimony. I can't
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: help but believe her testimony testimony, along with the forensic technology,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: was the straw that broke the camel's back for the defense. Nancy,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. She was amazing. She stood
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: there and she took she got a little bit unearthed
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: there at a moment, but she was actually being attacked.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: You're right, and she stood her ground, she said, I
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: am the one that did the autopsy. I know what
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I saw, and I think that made an impact. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: have to have been. I'm a little bit surprised in
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: this jurisdiction that it was not a hung jury. Why
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: do you say that, because my fact is successing. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: still have a lot of friends in the community. You know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the evidence to me was absolutely overwhelming. But all it
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: takes is, you know, is one juror and I I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: am just relieved. Actually, you know, the final closing argument
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: by the state was made by matters Christine. I want
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to play our cut three. This is a very moving
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: last argument a hell Mary by the state. This is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: just before the jury goes out to begin their deliberations. Listen,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you know it's something else. I don't understand. Your wife
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and your son had just been killed, and you're worried
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: about having a lawyer around. Everybody said, well, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: just sled aggs. You need to have a lawyer a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: round for Really, my wife and son had just been butchered,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm worried about having a lawyer from the alibis
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that he's created that he's doing it. He says, I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: went and around, I'm a knees over here, went and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Rand and I tried to take the pulse of Paul.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'll still be on the ground. I get my should
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and I've tried to turn him over, keep trying to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: check his pulse. I went to Maggie, checked her pulse,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and you can't do that in a twenty seconds. You
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: know it's something else. I don't understand. Your wife and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: your son had just been killed, and you're worried about
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: having a lawyer running may I said, well, you know
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it's just sled as you need to have a lawyer
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: round for Really, my wife and son had just been butchered,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm worried about having a lawyer from the alibis
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that he's created, that he's doing it, he says, I'm
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: went and round on my knees over here went and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Rand and I tried to take the pulse of Paul.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I'll still be on the ground over you my soul,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and I tried to turn him over, keep trying to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: check his pulse. Really, I went to Maggie, checked her
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: pulps and you can't do that in twenty seconds. Guys,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you are hearing attorney matters as he is making that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: final plea to the jury. And when he was doing that,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I think I've got Kelley skiing backup of Fox News
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: senior producer. When he was making that argument, Kelly, you
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: could have heard a pin drop in the courtroom. And
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: those are some of the last words from either side
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the jury heard. After that. All they heard was the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: judge's charges and they began deliberations. Kelly, Yeah, Nancy, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we heard enclosing arguments today from the prosecution. The directions
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to the jury was used common sense. This isn't complicated.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: There is one person that lied about not being at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the murder scene. There, it was family weapons, there was
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: gunshot residue. The facts don't lie here. And ultimately the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: jury did find Alec Murdock guilty and from what I saw,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: he did not show much emotion when those charges were read.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Guys are seeing, Hi and Kelly, what's happening at the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: courthouse right now. The de fifth team is just coming
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: out of the courthouse. People are chasing them down trying
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to speak to them. So far, what we know is
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they are not giving any interviews to continue on their way.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: They're trying to get the family out of the courthouse.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: But Christine if you could play back, Lauren, if you
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: could play back what we were seeing when the verdict
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: went down and when they were taking Alex Murdog out
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of the courtroom. For those of you just joining us,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the verdict has been handed down by a College County jury.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Alex Murdog guilty on all accounts. He didn't seem surprised.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: No one in the courtroom seems surprised. And the only
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: really heartbreaking moment of any of this is right when
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you see Alex Murdog walking out and his son, his
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: only surviving son, is looking after him, looking after his
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: father as he leaves the courtroom. Sentencing set for tomorrow morning.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, the judge, of course, there's a buster who
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: broke down in tears in the courtroom. Cheryl McCollum, the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: judge's hands are tied somewhat. He's facing thirty to life
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: without parole behind bars, plus the two gun charges, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he is yet to answer up for all the financial crimes. Correct, Nancy,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: He will probably most likely get thirty years, like you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: without parole. He's not going anywhere just on these crimes,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: less the financial crimes. But I think everybody right now
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: is focused on Buster. He has essentially lost every member
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of his immediate family. And you know that's one of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: those things, this ripple effects people talk about with homicide.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It affects the family, the friends, the neighbors, co workers.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: You know, this thing has really truly ripped through this
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: whole community. Everybody in some way is tied to this family.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: They either worked with him, had a legal deal with them,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: went to school with one of them, with friends with them.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just really a sad, sad day. But again,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: justice was third. It's the right call. I kept looking
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Cheryl to see if Murdog would look back at Buster
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: when he left the courtroom, because Buster's eyes never left
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: his father, not once. But I guess Murdog is so
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: ashamed of what has happened that he didn't look back
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: at his son. You know, I was looking at them
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: in the courtroom, Kelly's skin. I was sitting directly behind Buster,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so I could look across the aisle at each witness
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on the stand, and I could see Buster and Murdoch
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: really just a few pews apart from each other, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: they are so alike. Buster's hair is this vibrant red,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and you see Murdog and you know he's going back
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to law school. We hear and you see Murdog his
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: father just a few feet away, with the same red hair,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: but now dulled and going gray, just a little bit
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of the red shining through. Both of them tall, both
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of them dressed to the hilt and designer's suits. They
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: look so much alike. And now Kelly Buster is left
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: with nobody, no mom, no brother, his father behind bars.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, Nancy. We've heard a lot about Buster
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: throughout this trial, mainly that he allegedly plagiarized and got
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: kicked out of law school, and his dad tried to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: pay to get him back in. But at the end
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of the day, Buster is a victim in all of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: this too. He lost his mom, he lost his brother,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and now he has lost his father, and he has
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: left with basically the rest of his family to prop
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: him up. And really now, the fact that he has
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: lost his father is at the hands of his own father.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: So his father destroyed Buster's life and his own. You know,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, there really seems to be right now, no
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: one representing Maggie and Paul right now. I'm sure Buster
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Murdog is so distraught over losing his father. I don't
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: know if he can even consider who should be speaking
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: up from Maggie and Paul right now, Because as I
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: watched the courtroom, normally I would have the victim's family
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: seated right behind me prosecuting cases, but that wasn't true
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in this case. I don't believe we ever saw Maggie
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Murdog's family in the courtroom, you know, Nancy. I think
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that's the other reason you are so important. People like you.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: You have been speaking for Maggie and Paul from day one,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of other people want that long
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to be tonight they're doing the same thing, and I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: think that's what critical here. They have a voice, they
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: will continue to have a voice because they have advocates
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: all over and you, again have been paramount with that fight.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And I appreciate you know, doctor Michelle Dupree joining us
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: who is joining us from here in South Carolina medical examiner, pathologist,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: former detective and author and doctor Michelle Dupree. Very often
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: family members do not look at crime scene photos or
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: autopsy photos because that's not the image they want in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: their minds. The rest of their lives. Buster Murdoch has
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: had to sit through this trial. I know he's seen
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the evidence and now he's going home to a home
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: tonight with no mom, no dad, no brother, and no
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: hope of ever getting them back. That's right, Nancy, and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: we actually you encourage the family not to look at
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: things like that, because that's not the last memory you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: want of your loved one. I feel for Buster, I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: really do. And as far as who's standing up from
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Aggie and Paul, you have and I think our justice
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: system did today as well, and the jury did. Guys,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: in that courtroom, it was totally quiet. I noticed no
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: one was even moving when the verdict was announced. Complete quiet.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: We now know we will be back at the courthouse
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: tomorrow morning at nine thirty. You know, many people had
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: thought there would be a mandatory sentences. What do you
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: expect the sentence to be del the maximum? And I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: can tell you that ordinarily there's a period of time
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: after the conviction where probation and a number of agencies
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: will report give the court a history of the individual.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But this is rather unusual because we've had twenty eight
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: days or less of testimony that revealed who this individual is.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So the judge knows who he is, may have known
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: him for some time, and so the result is and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I was surprised by this that the court is willing
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: tomorrow morning to impose sentencing. So right now, although the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: jury has come back, you realize that he's not convicted
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: until the judge makes him convicted and sentences him to
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: whatever term he's going to choose for the individual. And
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of course there will be other potential trials or settlements
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: with his law firm for the money that was misappropriated
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and stolen by Murroch and taken from or client existing
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: clients from the law firm. So none of the it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: just over yet, guys um, speaking of all of the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: possibilities that the jury was looking at, I want you
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to hear our cut four. This is the final argument
• 21:12
