Could the Murdaugh Family’s Silence Speak Louder Than Any Witness at the Retrial?

<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
Marian Proctor took the stand in 2023 and said something the defense couldn’t undo: Alex never talked about finding who killed Maggie and Paul. That was one family member on one day. Now multiply it by three years of financial crime convictions, public betrayals, and a family that’s had time to process exactly who Alex Murdaugh is.

Alan Wilson is leading the governor’s race and just said the death penalty is on the table. South Carolina’s entire political class is building their campaigns around one defendant.
