When asked about his financial misconduct, Murdaugh said he’s not sure when he began stealing money from his clients and appeared to grow frustrated as Waters questioned him about a case from 12 years ago.
“You have charged me with murdering my wife and my son and I’ve sat here all these weeks listening to all this financial stuff that I did wrong that I’m embarrassed by,” he said. “I cannot specifically remember sitting down, the details you’re asking me for.”
Waters repeatedly asked Murdaugh about other clients he stole money from, and Murdaugh insisted what did was wrong but he couldn’t remember all the details.
“Do you have any independent recollection of a time when you sat down and looked at a person in the eye and you are lying to them and convincing them that everything was okay and stole their money?” Waters asked.
“I’m sure I did,” Murdaugh replied.
