What Does Alex Murdaugh’s Body Language Say? Expert Analysis

Alex Murdaugh body language breakdown: What stands out to an expert in spotting deception? On Monday, June 29th, we watched Alex Murdaugh appear in a South Carolina courtroom for a pretrial hearing ahead of his 2027 retrial for the murders of his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and his son, Paul Murdaugh. With all eyes back on Alex, we’re asking whether his physical movements in the courtroom - like his tongue pressing repeatedly to the inside of his cheek - were signs of nervousness, deception, or something else entirely. Today’s guest lends her expertise to help us read between the lines of physical behavior, and spot the “tells” that others might miss. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with body language and deception expert Susan Constantine to analyze Alex Murdaugh's behavior during his recent retrial hearing. Her upcoming book “How to Spot a Liar in 7 Seconds or Less” examines deception and nonverbal behavior. Susan Constantine is no stranger to Alex Murdaugh and his ongoing case, and in this conversation, she tells us what she believes his body language reveals. What red flags did she notice in the courtroom, and what does she expect to see in the April 2027 retrial? She also breaks down Alex Murdaugh's body language in the 2021 police body camera video captured at the Moselle, South Carolina crime scene, and when he took the stand in the original 2023 murder trial.
