Then a mistrial or reversible error should be declared and/or case dismissed because of the highly and undue prejudicial nature of this essential video showing up at trial & not giving Defense a chance to review and prepare in light of this material video.
Murdaughs defense team had a press conference yesterday. Nothing was said about challenging the kennel video on appeal. They say their appeal will center on financial issues being allowed into the trial.
“On Feb. 1, prosecutors presented footage retrieved from Paul Murdaugh’s cellphone — including a video that showed him attempting to wrangle a dog in the kennels taken several minutes before he and his mother were believed to be killed.
In the video, two voices heard in the background were positively identified by family friends as being those of Maggie and Alex Murdaugh.”
“I did lie to them,” he said, and confirmed he was in the video by the kennels.
When asked why he lied about the last time he saw his wife and son, Murdaugh blamed his addiction to painkillers, which he said caused “paranoid thinking.”
That’s what I was thinking. Discovery?
