State prosecutors began closing arguments Wednesday in the murder trial of Alex Murdaugh, the disbarred South Carolina attorney accused of killing his wife and son at the family's countryside estate in 2021. "After an exhaustive investigation, there is only one person who had the motive, who had the means, who had the opportunity to commit these crimes, and also whose guilty conduct after these crimes betrays him," prosecutor Creighton Waters said. "This defendant is the one person who was living a lie, the defendant is the person on which a storm was descending, and the defendant was a person where his own storm would actually mean consequences for Maggie and Paul and consequences for those who trusted him."
