About this episode

Alex Murdaugh took the stand to testify in his own double murder trial, admitting he lied to investigators about where he was the night his wife and son were murdered back in 2021. The once-prominent South Carolina attorney denied killing Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, telling the courtroom “no, I did not.” Criminal defense attorney Mark O’Mara tells Anderson Cooper whether he thinks Murdaugh’s decision to testify and his admission will hurt the defense.

Plus, CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour joins AC360 from Kyiv, Ukraine where Ukrainian officials are warning about increased attacks from Russian troops as the country and the world mark one year since Putin’s invasion.
