ALEX MURDAUGH TAKES THE STAND IN 'HAIL MARY'

Alex Murdaugh took the stand today in his own defense. The accused killer stated emphatically that he did not shoot his wife and son. Murdaugh did admit, however, that he lied to police. He said his opioid addiction made him paranoid of police.

The disgraced attorney repeatedly admitted to a state cross-examine that he stole from clients and was remorseful

Murdaugh's testimony continues on Friday.
