About

Called by the defense and qualified as a forensic-pathology expert, Jonathan Eisenstat reviewed the autopsy materials and disputed the direction of one of Maggie Murdaugh's wounds and the interpretation of Paul Murdaugh's fatal head wound. Cross-examination focused on his paid secondary review, lack of a written report, documentation gaps, and the limits of his expertise.
