OJ Simpson remarks on Alex Murdaugh trial: 'I don’t know why they think I’m an expert on it'

Fox Nation host Nancy Grace explains on "The Story" that Murdaugh may have hurt himself with repeated lies as jury deliberations begin.

O.J. Simpson gave his take on the ongoing Alex Murdaugh double-murder trial on Thursday as jurors in the case began their deliberations after weeks of testimony.

The jury will determine whether Murdaugh, 54, is sent to prison for possibly the rest of his life for allegedly gunning down his 22-year-old son, Paul, and his wife, Maggie, 52. Prosecutors have argued that he slaughtered Paul and Maggie on June 7, 2021, near the dog kennels on the family's hunting estate in Islandton, South Carolina, in a desperate act of self-preservation.

Dozens of witnesses have taken the stand over the last six weeks.

Simpson was among the armchair quarterbacks who weighed in with his thoughts on the trial. He rambled for more than three minutes in a Twitter video.

"A whole lot of people asking me about this Alex Murdaugh trial. I don’t know why they think I’m an expert on it. But I got to admit when he took the stand, a guy who’s [a] habitual liar, I did watch. When the trial first started, I watched him take the stand, and I thought it was probably a mistake because the guy is an admitted liar, and it’s hard for me to think he could be on the stand for five, six, seven, eight days without lying," Simpson said. "The question is: What did he lie about? But lying and stealing money is a little different than murder."

"I realized watching him testify what he was doing. He was just trying to relate to one or two of those jurors
