About
Margaret N. Fox served as defense trial counsel.
On Day 22, Fox conducted the direct and redirect examinations of civil defense lawyer Dawes Cooke Jr. Her questions developed Cooke's account that the boat-accident claim was defensible and that its financial-discovery dispute was not viewed as an imminent or extraordinary threat. On redirect, Cooke testified that any court-ordered document production would not have been immediate.
On Day 23, Fox conducted the direct and redirect examinations of family friend Nolen Tuten. She developed his account of Moselle, family firearm practices, his June 7 plans with Paul, and Alex Murdaugh's reaction after the deaths. Her redirect focused on the view from the Moselle house toward the kennels at night, and Tuten described the visible detail as limited. These examinations placed defense evidence into the record on both the timing of civil financial discovery and the physical context surrounding the kennels.
