This is day eighteen. Today’s proceedings are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST with a debate among attorneys over the admissibility of evidence and testimony related to a September 2021 roadside shooting involving Murdaugh. This roadside shooting – which you can read more about below – resurfaced yesterday during testimony from Murdaugh’s sister-in-law, Marian Proctor.

Jurors are expected to arrive at the courthouse at 10:30 a.m. EST, at which point we are hoping to learn whether the Covid-19 outbreak which prompted the excusal of two members of the jury earlier this week has worsened. If so, circuit court judge Clifton Newman could conceivably delay proceedings until the threat of the virus has abated – something both prosecutors and defense attorneys have previously indicated was amenable to them under the circumstances.

Barring any delays, the state is expected to call its star witness – senior special agent David Owen of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) – to the stand at some point today. Owen was slated to begin his testimony on Tuesday afternoon, but was forced to leave Walterboro due to the death of his mother.

Murdaugh stands accused of killing his wife, 52-year-old Maggie Murdaugh, and youngest son, 22-year-old Paul Murdaugh, on his family’s hunting property in Colleton County, S.C. on June 7, 2021. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and is currently standing trial in Walterboro – a town located in the low country region of the Palmetto State, which Murdaugh’s family ran like a fiefdom for more than a century.
