 |But one of Murdaugh’s defense attorneys on Jan. 31 sharply challenged Croft’s interpretation, raising a point that had dominated national discussion of the case overnight: What did Murdaugh actually say? Columbia lawyer Jim Griffin, who was at the June 10 interview, contends his client said, *“They did him so bad.”* He played a recording of the interview three times for jurors to hear, slowing it down to one-third speed the last time. Several jurors leaned forward intently as the clip was replayed.|
 |Croft, for his part, stuck to his story on the stand. When Griffin asked if he was certain Murdaugh said *“I,”* Croft testified he was *“100 percent confident”* that is what he heard. He agreed, however, that the jury will have to decide for itself what to believe. 
 The exchange helped kick off another busy day at the county courthouse, where prosecutors have presented 15 witnesses — mostly law enforcement or other first responders — in their effort to prove Murdaugh killed his wife and son.|
-|Prosecutors allege Murdaugh, 54, shot Paul with a shotgun and Maggie with a semiautomatic rifle in order to engender sympathy for himself and distract from a set of inquiries that were about to expose his myriad financial crimes. In addition to the murder charges, Murdaugh stands accused of nearly 100 other charges. Investigators say he leveraged his powerful family name and position as an attorney to surreptitiously steal nearly $9 million from legal settlements and fees owed to his law clients, coworkers and others who trusted him. |A team of prosecutors in the murder trial have continued to unflip puzzle pieces in their case, often without explaining how the evidence and testimony fits together to prove Murdaugh guilty.|

 |Murdaugh’s defense attorneys, meanwhile, have attempted to paint investigators as incompetent or untrustworthy, alleging they mishandled the crime scene and focused too narrowly on Murdaugh while excluding other possible suspects. They also have speculated that Maggie and Paul were killed by two shooters, given there was some distance between where the shots that killed them were fired.|
 |Lead prosecutor Creighton Waters attempted to nip that in the bud on Jan. 31. *“Can people move?”* Waters asked agent Croft on the witness stand. |

 |In his own questioning of Croft, Griffin sought to establish that SLED focused on Murdaugh from the beginning. Croft conceded that Murdaugh was on their radar from the start, noting that homicide detectives start with a small circle — whoever was at the crime scene — and work their way outward. Murdaugh was the only person alive at the crime scene when first responders arrived, Croft testified. But investigators then spoke with more than 100 people over the next few days, he said. Griffin spent considerable time questioning Croft about Murdaugh’s purported confession three days after the slayings. That would have been a significant admission, Griffin noted, yet neither of the SLED agents present had asked Murdaugh what he meant.|
 |Croft said SLED’s investigation was still in its infancy and he *“did not have information”* to challenge Murdaugh’s statements. Griffin seemed puzzled by that explanation. Griffin asked if Croft had taken written notes of the interview. He had. The defense attorney then asked if he’d written anything about Murdaugh potentially confessing to the crime. Croft said only that he made a “mental note” to follow up on the statement later. But Griffin pointed out he never did, even when SLED interviewed Murdaugh a third time on Aug. 11, 2021 — two months later.|
 |*“You can’t tell the jury you even wrote it down on a piece of paper,”* Griffin said.|
