Alex Murdaugh Trial: Researchers Finding Anti-Gun Sentiment From Defendant
Alex Murdaugh, the South Carolina attorney accused of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, took the stand in his own defense yesterday in a double murder trial that has been making headlines across the country. But what researchers have found during the trial is a surprising sentiment among Murdaugh: a noticeable anti-gun stance.
Murdaugh’s defense team have argued that their client acted in self-defense, claiming that he was attacked first by his wife, who he claims was armed with a gun. However, during the trial, Murdaugh has repeatedly voiced his disdain for guns and has made it clear that he never intended to use one himself.
In an unexpected turn of events, Murdaugh even went so far as to call for stricter gun control laws, claiming that if there had been stricter laws in place at the time, his family tragedy may have been avoided.
Murdaugh’s stance on guns has been met with praise by anti-gun advocates, who are relieved to see someone in the spotlight taking such a strong stance on the issue.
It remains to be seen if Murdaugh’s anti-gun sentiment will have any sway in the jury’s decision, but many are hopeful that it will. If convicted, Murdaugh could face life in prison.
