Alex Murdaugh\'s defense team began their day in court by calling Buster Murdaugh to the stand. He insisted that his father was \\u201cheartbroken\\u201d and \\u201cdestroyed\\u201d after finding the bodies of his wife and son.

The disgraced lawyer seemed to wipe away tears as his son said, \\u201cHe asked me if I was sitting down \\u2026 he sounded odd and then he told me that my mom and brother had been shot.\\u201d\\xa0\\xa0

We also learned in testimony that just after discovering the bodies, Murdaugh searched online for a popular South Carolina restaurant. His phone records show a search for\\xa0 \\u2018Whaley\\u2019s Edisto\\u2019 in Safari browser\\u201d at 10:40 p.m. This timeline shows Murdaugh was still at the crime scene just \\xa015 minutes after the first cop arrived. The restaurant he searched is one of the oldest in Edisto \\u2014 where the Murdaughs\\u2019 main house is located.\\xa0\\xa0

Later in the testimony, a forensic expert testified that Alex Murdaugh was too tall to be the shooter.\\xa0\\xa0
