A .300 Black out is a .30 caliber round. The bullet can weigh between 110 and 220 grains with a velocity of 2,300 FPS on average delivering an average of 1,300 ftlbs of energy. A .22 has a max weight of 40 grains, travels on average about 1,500 FPS and delivering a maximum energy of 200 ftlbs.
The difference is like between getting hit by a bicyclist versus Mack Truck. Special Operations units use it because of it’s first hit leathality.
Just because you believe it, doesn’t make it true. Tell us WHY you don’t think Alex didn’t murder his wife and son. What facts or evidence do you have to backup your belief?
No. You’ve got your facts all wrong. The “suicide attempt” was in September, three months AFTER Maggie and Paul were found shot dead. Here’s his motive: At the time of the killings, Murdaugh was terrified about a pending motion that threatened to expose years of substantial debts and illicit financial crimes by revealing his personal records. Such a move would have spelled personal, legal, and financial ruin for Murdaugh. No history of violence does not come into play in a situation like this. He was desperate. Desperate people do desperate things.
So, “he didn’t do it.” …..and, apparently, he also didn’t hear 7 gunshots in close proximity to the home between 8:44 (when he was at the kennels) and 9:06 (when he started his car and left). If he didn’t do it, he must be deaf, cause I haven’t heard one report of him telling anyone that he heard gunshots. And, anyone who hunts, knows how far the sounds of rifles and shotguns carry through the pines. It is inconceivable that he wouldnt have heard the gunshots. Of course, “he was sleeping”….errr, “wasn’t at the kennel”….errr
Big plus for the defense no one has mentioned ,son Buster appeared today on Dads behalf . Jury can not help but think son has weighed all this and determined dad innocent . Also,time line will play heavily in defendants advantage . Who ever shot Paul would have blood ,bone tissue ,including brain, all over face and hair .how and where did he get cleaned up . No gun shot residue on hands . Massive holes in case state ignoring .
“Jury can not help but think son has weighed all this and determined dad innocent.”
Buster’s appearance doesn’t mean anything one way or the other. Perhaps the jury can not help but think Buster has weighed all this and determined dad guilty and wants to see him obliterated in court.
The jury does not have to take into consideration Buster’s appearance and what it might mean. The jury’s job is to focus on the facts.
Creighton Waters opening statement was exceptional. His analogy of circumstantial evidence in relations to inclement weather was sheer brilliance. Referring to Murdaugh as ‘the storm’ was prophetic. The FACT the down pour of rain was actually audible on the livestream whilst Dicky Poo delivered his opening statement, could not have played out better for The State. Nice job Waters…no pun intended! Curious if anyone else focused on Buster when Judge called for a break during Waters’ OS? From the video does it appear that he avoids direct eye contact with his father when Alex is turned to him? It’s as though he’s desperate to avoid Alex, quickly shifting from left to right searching for anyone other than the dead shark eyes of his father.
Just curious, the Defense wouldn’t possibly be creating posts on these threads as a futile attempt to create illusions of doubt [delusions, rather] in hopes that others might actually be swayed!? Very off-putting. Dig deeper into that bag of tricks, please.

The first day in trial is filled with a bunch of exaggerations. . Opening statements are just a summary of what each Side hope to prove
I don’t believe he killed his wife and son and why use a shot gun and a 300 blackout which is just a few steps above a 22
I still believe 2 people planned to kill all 3 but Alex left .
Payment for killing the young girl on the boat

Man, Pooty Poot’s rendition of the damage “Elick” did when he shot Paul was brutal
He tried to have himself killed before all this went down . If Alex killed his wife and son it seems he would have killed himself also .
Why kill his wife and son ? Makes no damn sense . Idiot dope head but not a murderer .
No signs of violence before this .
Something is missing with Motive
Really? No signs of past aggressive behavior? And he wouldn’t have financially benefited from .(of all things, imagine this…) INSURANCE POLICIES?
