Welcome back to our live feed from the double homicide trial of disbarred attorney/ accused killer Alex Murdaugh – the man at the center of the ‘Murdaugh Murders’ crime and corruption saga.
Murdaugh stands accused of killing his wife, 52-year-old Maggie Murdaugh, and youngest son, 22-year-old Paul Murdaugh, on his family’s hunting property in Colleton County, South Carolina on June 7, 2021. He pleaded not guilty and is currently standing trial in Walterboro, S.C.
Today is day number eight of these proceedings – which will commence with assistant attorney general John Conrad continuing his direct examination of lieutenant Britt Dove of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED). Dove has been providing jurors with detailed information about the activity of the cell phones of Alex Murdaugh, Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh on the evening of the murders.
After Dove’s testimony concludes, the prosecution is expected to call several other witnesses to supplement his testimony – potentially including Rogan Gibson, Paul Murdaugh’s friend and the person with whom he was communicating immediately prior to his death.
Assuming Gibson testifies, this may be the day we see the cell phone video that ultimately shredded the alibi Alex Murdaugh provided to law enforcement in the aftermath of the murders.

THE POLLS …
At the opening gavel of each day of the trial, we will launch two new polls asking readers to weigh in on 1) whether they think Alex Murdaugh is guilty or not guilty of murdering his late wife, Maggie Murdaugh and, 2) whether they think he is guilty or not guilty of murdering his late son, Paul Murdaugh.
The goal of our daily polls is to track how perception of Murdaugh’s guilt or innocence related to the murders of his two alleged victims changes over the course of the trial.
Here are today’s polls …
QUESTION ONE …
Based on the information you have now, is Alex Murdaugh is guilty or not guilty of the murder of Maggie Murdaugh?
***
QUESTION TWO …
Based on the information you have now, is Alex Murdaugh is guilty or not guilty of the murder of Paul Murdaugh?

He asks how Alex could be starting the car 30 seconds after Maggie’s phone was thrown out the window at 9:06:12 p.m. Could he be at two places at one time? Dove says it’s hard to say if that was the exact moment the phone was thrown. Barber asks if it would be reasonable that the incoming call from Alex Murdaugh to Maggie Murdaugh’s phone which occurred the moment the phone was thrown, could be someone else had the phone, saw the call and threw it out of the car in a panic. Dove says he cannot say as he was not there, but admits it could be a reasonable possibility.
12:37 p.m. EST – Dove states that it depends on how a phone is thrown for it to register a location change. Barber asks if it’s reasonable that if Alex starts a car at 9:06:48 p.m. to be throwing a phone from a car at 9:06:12 p.m. when the orientation change. Dove says it is hard to say.

Y’all are doing a jam up job of covering the trial. Hope you’re enjoying our lovely town!
This is coming across like a junior high school production of a Southern gothic drama.
Now with the court’s indulgence I will go hose down the quail cages and dust my gun wall, as one does on a Wednesday. Later I might sip a bourbon and contemplate how a kid named Buster turns out marginally better than one with a normal name.
bless your heart
With sufficient time, one can clean up and dispose of clothes and murder weapons. But, no matter how much time you have, you cannot erase recorded cell phone data. Piece by piece…
Baffled why AM would delete even the 10:06pm 911 call.
This testimony will work well in the movie, the fat tech geek’s always the smartest guy in the room.
I firmly believe Cousin Eddie was the one who was tasked with getting rid of Maggie’s cellphone. That’s why the steps and car starting don’t match up to Alex. Eddie took that phone and threw it in the woods for Alex- because Alex told him to.
“At the time Maggie’s phone changed orientation for the last time, “it appears the phones were not together being moved by the same person because they are not (both) recording steps.”
Doesn’t mean more than one person was the shooter at all – in fact, it’s just more Pootlian “shared by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”. Paul’s phone didn’t move because “Ol’Elick” didn’t move it. It remains to be seen what is on Maggie’s phone. Ol’Elick’s phone didn’t move because he left it in the car thinking it would help exonerate him. Ol’Elick is a sociopath, not stupid, he knows the phones can incriminate him but wasn’t clever (or fast) enough to get Paul’s and Maggie’s and make them disappear. He probably thought Maggie’s battery would die before they go around to finding it OR it might have thought it would help his “two shooter” ploy.
During the time there was no movement on his phone, possible he left his phone behind and it was not on him.
Suppressors require a non-transferable federal “tax stamp”. Night sights have no special requirements.
wonder if GSR is sophisticated enough to detect different types of weapons/ammunition fired?
Toggling between FitsNews website Live Feed, FitsNews YouTube Live Stream, and Twitter during all trial days. Appreciate this coverage. Kudos to the FitsNews team!
Me too. Great concise coverage
Could y’all create a side by side by side timeline from the testimony from Lt. Dove from the cell phone data.
I just found a great one on Twitter. Are you on Twitter?
I am
Stop with the exclamation points. it’s unprofessional.
