He better come up with a more convincing case than he has so far. My opinion.
I agree with you. The prosecutor seemed to lose control of the defendant during the cross exam. He should have maintained his composure, and asked the right questions leading directly to the night of the murder and placing Murdaugh there. Because that’s what this case is about.

Also I was surprised at how the defendant was allowed to talk so much, changing the subject at will. At times he seemed to be cross examining the prosecutor! That seemed unusual. And why did the judge let him get away with it? Anyway there’s still time for the prosecutor to convince the jury but he needs to regain his focus.
