Murdaugh trial enters 10th day, finishes second week
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The Alex Murdaugh trial entered the final day of its second week Friday. Court is set to resume at 9:30 a.m. The jury is not expected to return until 11:30 a.m.
Murdaugh is on trial for the 2021 murders of his wife, Maggie, and son Paul.
WIS’ Greg Adaline reported from the courtroom Friday morning. New details emerged on some of the financial crimes Murdaugh is accused of. Testimony included confirmation that high dollar loans were approved to Murdaugh with little or no paperwork and that the board of Palmetto Bank was concerned on the situation.
Jury returns. Still no decision about how much of the financial misdeeds will come before them.

Thomas Darnell, SLED fingerprint examiner, takes the stand.
Of note, members of Murdaugh family, including Buster and John Marvin, arrive as testimony before jury begins. @wis10
Other testimony included hearing from Gloria Satterfield’s son. Satterfield died in 2018 after she fell at the Moselle property Murdaugh owned. Murdaugh assured the family they would receive insurance money in the death. However, when the claim was settled Murdaugh allegedly never told the family about the settlement and pocketed the money.
Gloria Satterfield’s son just testified. Gloria passed in 2018, after she fell and hit her head at Moselle.
