About
Wilson testified about $792,000 in legal fees diverted through their shared litigation, the resulting $192,000 trust-account shortfall he personally covered, Murdaugh's alleged September admissions, and their June 7 phone calls. Cross-examination emphasized that Wilson perceived no financial crisis, panic, addiction symptoms, or unusual telephone demeanor that day.
