Three jurors who convicted Alex Murdaugh of murdering his wife and son are revealing why they decided the disgraced attorney was guilty.

Generette said she recognized Murdaugh’s voice from the video when he testified in his own defense — a tactic that proved to be a mistake.
“When he got on the stand, I was like, ‘OK, so it was him,’” Generette said of Murdaugh’s testimony.
