Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : The prosecution is not seeking the death penalty but instead asking for life in prison without parole if convicted.
38% : The defense filed multiple motions to try to exclude various pieces of evidence or testimony, ranging from Murdaugh's alleged financial crimes to blood splatter examinations, from the trial and frequently question any law enforcement witnesses about the methods they used.
34% : Harpootlian claims that law enforcement was so convinced of Murdaugh's guilt from the start they ran a sloppy investigation focused only on Murdaugh as a possible suspect.
