Snapchat Video As Evidence

According to Rosenberg, Paul has sent a Snapchat video to his friends at around 7:56 p.m. before the murders. The contents of the video are reportedly crucial to the case. Court documents, however, did not reveal what was shown on the Snapchat video. Nonetheless, Judge Clifton Newman was asked to sign an order to require a Snapchat representative to testify. Since the video was from Snapchat, a representative is required to testify that the video is true and accurate.

In addition, a video footage was also obtained from Paul’s phone. The video was reportedly recorded at 8:44 p.m. when Paul was still with Alex and Maggie. Prosecutors said that the victims were murdered between 8:44 p.m. and 10:06 p.m. However, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division provided a narrower timeframe of 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Prosecutors also suggested that Alex murdered Paul and Maggie over increasing debts and the fear of his schemes to embezzle money from clients would be exposed.
