Alex Murdaugh has admitted that he ‘may’ have deliberately removed his lawyer’s badge from his pocket on the night of his son’s boat accident in order to get a ‘warmer’ response from police.

This afternoon, the State began questioning the disgraced legal scion, 54, after he took the stand to deny killing his wife and son on his family’s hunting estate in Moselle, South Carolina, on June 7, 2021.

At the time of Maggie and Paul’s deaths, Murdaugh was facing a civil lawsuit over a fatal boating accident in which his son was driving under the influence in February 2019. The 19-year-old Mallory Beach family was Suing for the shipwreck.

Prosecutor Creighton Waters questioned Murdaugh about whether he entered the hospital that night wearing his attorney’s badge and pressured other teens at the accident to lie to police.

Murdaugh first said that he could not remember if he was wearing the badge before jury were shown photos showing the badge hanging from his left pocket. ‘A badge has a warm effect with other law enforcement. If I was looking for an advantage like you say,’ she finally conceded.

Waters asked: ‘Did you tell any of the children not to cooperate with law enforcement?’

Murdaugh responded: “I never told anyone not to cooperate with law enforcement.”

He previously admitted that he routinely left his license plate on the dashboard in order to get better treatment if pulled over by police.

He said someone who worked at one of the local sheriff’s offices installed blue lights on his law firm’s car.

Murdaugh testified that he had five cases in his two decades of work as a volunteer attorney.

His main line of work was securing lucrative personal injury settlements for his family business, Peters Murdaugh Parker Eltzroth and Detrick. That firm has since been dissolved because it stole more than $10 million from clients and partners.
