A pair of courtroom buffs drove three hours to visit the scene of Alex Murdaugh’s trial

Dale Johnson, 54, and Ron Godwin, 42, of South Carolina, drove three hours Thursday on the first day of testimony in Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial and caught a glimpse of the jailed man’s family leaving the courthouse.

Johnson and Godwin have tracked the fallen patriarch’s case since his son, Paul, 22, and his wife, Maggie, 52, were found shot to death on the family’s sprawling hunting estate June 7, 2021.

“We haven’t missed a minute of it,” said Johnson, who is from Kingstree.

The pair stared intently at Buster, his girlfriend Brooklynn White, and Murdaugh’s brother, John Marvin, and other family members, as they climbed into an SUV to take them away from the Colleton County Courthouse during the lunch break. 

Godwint was clutching a four-inch thick binder with colored tabs, which included all the court documents in the case and other material.

“I think he’s innocent, they’ll never convict him,” Johnson told Fox News Digital. “It takes somebody very sick in my opinion to kill his wife and his child at the same time.”

Johnson, however, thinks Murdaugh may have hired someone else to do it, while Godwin is still on the fence as to the 54-year-old disbarred lawyer’s guilt.

Godwin, Johnson, his wife and another family friend convene weekly around his kitchen island to discuss the case.
