Alex Murdaugh s decision to take the stand and testify in his double murder trial sealed his fate, said several jurors from the case who alleged that his sobbing on the stand wasnt genuine and that it appeared as though it could be turned on and off.

No, I didnt think he was crying. He turned it on and off, Gwen Generette told NBC on Monday in a sit-down interview with two other jurors who also voted to convict him Thursday.

We were able to read right through that, juror James McDowell said of the fourth-generation attorneys dramatic emotions while pleading his innocence on the stand. I think that he believes hes so convincing that he felt like that was his last resort.
