Dateline: The Trial of Alex Murdaugh (9 p.m., NBC)
“Dateline” has the latest updates from the Alex Murdaugh murder trial in South Carolina.
It took a jury less than three hours Thursday evening to unanimously find Murdaugh guilty of executing his son Paul with a shotgun inside the feed room at the dog kennels before gunning down his wife, Maggie, with a high-powered rifle on June 7, 2021, at the family 1,770-acre rural Colleton County estate, called Moselle.
NBC News’ Craig Melvin interviews Murdaugh’s former longtime friend Chris Wilson, who said it was “hard” to testify against his friend, who has admitted to stealing from clients and his former law firm. Wilson’s wife, Dana, also talks about her friendship with Maggie.
Melvin also interviews other insiders in the Murdaugh case.
