Alex Murdaugh’s housekeeper has testified at his double murder trial that the she never saw the shirt and shoes the disgraced attorney was wearing in a video hours before his son and wife were killed after their deaths. Prosecutors were using Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson’s testimony Friday to explain why certain expected things — like bloody clothes — have not been put into evidence yet after three weeks of trial. Under cross examination, the housekeeper testified she never saw in Murdaugh’s wardrobe a large blue rain jacket that tested positive for a significant amount of gunshot residue. Simpson also says she was allowed to go in the Murdaughs’ home about 12 hours after the killings and clean up.
