OJ’s Twitter Post
People keep asking me what I think about the Alex Murdaugh trial. The former murder suspect joked in a Twitter video with the caption, “I don’t know why they think I’m an expert.”
Here’s his Twitter post:
Simpson’s Involvement
Many people have questioned Simpson’s involvement in the case and the motivations behind his comments in response to the video, which has generated many online talks.
Background Of The Murdaugh Double Murder Case
Alex Murdaugh contacted the police on June 7, 2021, claiming to have found his wife and son’s dead bodies at the family’s hunting lodge. Murdaugh claimed that he had been with his dementia-stricken mother at the time of the deaths.
The Shock!
The murders shocked the neighborhood and led to a thorough investigation to find out who was responsible for the deaths.
Results
Alex was identified as a person of interest in the murders by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) in October 2021, according to information that surfaced at the time.
Murdaugh was detained in July 2022 following the Colleton County Grand Jury’s indictment, which included two charges of murder and two counts of possessing a firearm while committing a violent crime.
OJ Simpson’s Video
In his Twitter post, he spoke for more than three minutes. He discussed the Murdaugh case and offered opinions on who may have been responsible for the murders.
What did He say?
He said,
“A whole lot of people asking me about this Alex Murdaugh trial. I don’t know why they think I’m an expert on it. But I got to admit, when he took the stand, a guy who’s a habitual liar, I did watch. When the trial first started, I watched him take the stand, and I thought it was probably a mistake because the guy is an admitted liar, and it’s hard for me to think he could be on the stand for five, six, seven, eight days without lying, the question is: What did he lie about? But lying and stealing money is a little different than murder.”
He continued, “I realized watching him testify what he was doing. He was just trying to relate to one or two of those jurors that he was a good ‘ol boy. He was one of them. I’m not sure he didn’t succeed in doing that. I am not really qualified to say if the guy did it or he didn’t do it. If a juror missed an hour of testimony, they no longer qualify. I missed days that I haven’t watched this.”
