"God Bless Bubba" That 3 word quote from Murdaugh Prosecutor John Meadors may have been one of the most repeated lines from the Alex Murdaugh murder trial.
That's because of a video Paul Murdaugh recorded minutes before he and his mother, Maggie, were murdered. He was trying to get video of a friend's dog because it had something wrong with his tail, but on the video which became a key piece of evidence during the trial, you can hear Alex Murdaugh saying Bubba's name. He had a chicken or a guinea hen in his mouth.
Until this video was presented in court, Alex Murdaugh had maintained he was napping at the house when his wife and son were gunned down. Bubba became a hero. He also became therapy for Maggie's friend Blanca who has cared for Bubba ever since. And the opposite is true too-- Blanca has helped Bubba heal from the tragedy he witnessed on June 7th, 2021.Investigative Reporter Anne Emerson sat down to talk with Blanca about that bond in the second part of this three-part interview.
