Prosecutor to Murdaugh: 'At what point did you decide to lie?'

And I knew she'd gone to the camp. I was at the house. I left the house. What played? Going to back it up some more? Well, yeah, we can keep listening to it. Anything to run down? What made you come out here tonight? I went to my mom's late stage Alzheimer's patient. My dad's in the hospital. My mom gets anxious when she does.

I went to check on them and Maggie's a dog lover. She foods with the dogs. And I knew she'd gone to the camp. I was at the house. You want to hear it again? No, sir. But you made a conscious decision to lie. Right there, this early into an interview, sitting in the front seat, correct? I don't believe so.

You didn't make a conscious decision to lie? I don't believe that. I don't believe that was lying at that point. Okay, tell me why not. Because Maggie had gone to the kennels and I was at the house. Okay. So you think you were being. that was not a lie at that point? I don't believe so.

At what point did you decide to lie? I'm not sure, but it was in that. In this interview? I believe that it was. Okay, was this interview where you were sitting in the front seat, correct? It is. Correct? I'm not in custody. They're giving you water, letting you chew tobacco, treating you politely, correct? They were treating me very politely. So what was it that you clicked? So you said it's in this interview that you clicked, that I'm a lie, about the most important fact that I know? I'm not sure exactly when in it that I lied, decided to lie, but I believe it was during this interview. I believe all those things that I talked about, you know, those things that had gone on, the things that people had said to me, about don't talk to anybody without a lawyer, partners all told me that, or a lot of my partners told me that.

My dear friend, Chief Alexander, was one who said that. I overheard. I believe it was Sheriff Hill. I'm not positive. I heard him tell, I believe Mark Ball or Gray Holmes, don't let him talk to anybody without a lawyer. And what I believe is that based on my distrust of sled and getting in that interview, and I'm not positive about this, but I believe when he asked me, you know, about my relationship with my wife and my son, I believe that's when I decided to lie. You also looked out when you had the GSR too, because that's what you testified to yesterday.

That certainly contributed. And your dope paranoia too, you said that as well, correct? Well, those things are what triggered the paranoia that started as my addiction evolved.
