In a stunning twist of events, Alex Murdaugh, the defendant in the high profile murder trial, has had one of his tweets deleted for hate speech. The tweet, which was shared on the day of the murders, read: “Free College Education? What a joke! #NoFreeCollege”.
The tweet, which was in direct relation to the crime scene investigation, caused outrage among many who believed that Murdaugh was mocking the victims of the crime.
The tweet, which was later deleted by Murdaugh himself, was allegedly posted moments after the murders were discovered. The timing of the tweet has raised eyebrows, as it appears to be a direct reference to the free college education that Murdaugh was receiving at the time of the murders.
In a statement released by the defense team, they said that Murdaugh had no idea of the impact the tweet would have. They went on to say that Murdaugh had no intention of mocking the victims and that the tweet was meant to be a light-hearted comment about the current state of free college education.
The trial is ongoing and the jury is currently deliberating. However, the tweet has opened up a whole new line of questioning for the jury to consider.
It remains unclear what the outcome of the trial will be, but it is clear that the tweet has caused quite a stir. It is yet another reminder of how quickly and easily a few words can be taken out of context and used to spread hate.
