Murdaugh was emotional during Wednesday’s opening statements, breaking down in tears multiple times as the prosecution and defense emphasized the gruesome nature of the murders. He was joined by several members of his family — including his son, Buster — who sat behind him during the trial.
Thursday’s proceedings are set to begin with testimony from a first responder who was on scene the night of the murders. Prosecution is expected to play the body camera footage from that night in full.
