The Murdaugh Trial Week 1.  On Days 1 and 2, the jury is qualified, and motions are heard, including a motion regarding blood spatter evidence and a hearing on ballistics evidence. The defense argues that the science behind the ballistics evidence is not sound; the court allowed the evidence in. On Day 3, the jury panel is seated, and the court orders certain graphic images and photos to be sealed and not made available to the public. Opening statements are given by the prosecution and defense. The prosecution presents evidence linking the defendant, Alec, to the murders of his wife and child and claims that Alec gave multiple inconsistent statements. The defense argues that the prosecution's theories are not facts and that Alec is a loving father who could not have committed the murders. On Day 4, testimony from first responding officers, a K9 handler, and 911 operators is presented, including unredacted 911 calls that had not been publicly available before.Connect With Me.Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.comJoin the Text Crew  https://www.TextEmily.ComLooking for my YouTube videos?  https//www.WatchEmily.comWant to connect with Emily More?  https://www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker I share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker
