Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : And those were: the cellphone video ... that placed the defendant at the scene of the crime ... the defendant's denial to law enforcement agents that he had been at the kennels with his wife and son that night, and then finally, his testimony on the stand," said Jessica Roth, a Cardozo School of Law professor who followed the trial.
46% :Murdaugh's claim that he initially lied because he didn't trust law enforcement was undercut by other evidence that showed he had a long, cozy relationship with police, and that he carried a law enforcement badge given to him by his father, who was once the elected solicitor.
45% : "The defendant clearly had so many relationships with law enforcement and really tried to take advantage of that," Roth said.
38% : "So I think the claim that he did not trust law enforcement ... just didn't ring true to the jury."
