Murdaugh is the White OJ. He got away with killing the maid and collecting money, he stole from his clients, he stole from his family’s law business and he thinks he’s going to get away with murder.
Paul’s trial was not in the next 72 hours. It was a motion to compel Alex’s financial records. Like several witnesses testified, this would not have been a killswitch moment. The State has mischaracterized how dire this hearing would be. Attorneys know how unthreatening this hearing would be.
That being said, a lot of things happened that day that don’t look great for AM. I still don’t think the state has met the burden of proof for a conviction so far.
I’d disagree that the motion to compel for AM’s financial records wasn’t a big moment for him. Consider the mess he was in financially; not the theft, but the reports of his overdrawn accounts or accounts with very low balances, and his debt load. It sounds like his only real liquid asset was his retirement account. While he was not going to have to turn over account statements at the hearing, he was preparing a statement of net worth for it (he admitted to that), and in short any financial declaration he was putting together was likely bogus and painting a picture that was not his reality. It surely excluded his ownership of “Forge” and the account related to it, and the various off the record loans from Palmetto State and his law partners. He surely understood the risk of putting something that grossly inaccurate into a court record knowing that if he’s later hit with a personal judgement and more accounts emerge that he’s not disclosed it could be very problematic for him.
I feel is not guilty and there’s a opioid epidemic opioids do not make you kill your family and everybody using the addiction. It would make him feel his family are I think he’s innocent on killing his wife and son. I just don’t see that in that man he’s not a killer he might be a liar and a half months Candler but he’s not a killer.
Addict or not….. if he has a 50k to 60k weekly drug habit….. opiods…. he would not have been able to function…. think about it….he is in the legal field… he answered all of his attys questions without repeating the question back to council…. then when it is the states turn… he cant seem to answer a question … he knows how to work a jury and courtroom…. he is guilty…..
This is where the defense screwed up big time by not presenting a psych expert to explain the behavioral and mental effects of opioid addiction and use. The jury was simply asked to take AM’s word for what the effects of opioids on him were without any objective medical testimony on opioids’ effects. This evidence would have helped the defense immensely, but Dick Harpootlian is a politician, not a criminal defense lawyer.
Damn, this family has some sick individuals in it. I heard that JM was a decent guy, but this is some BS he is spewing. I guess if the family doesn’t give a s&$t about Paul and Maggie, not sure why we should…

What does this mean? I don’t understand why that meant they knew he was the one.
4:34 p.m. EST – John Marvin testifies that SLED told him that the BWC footage showed Alex Murdaugh wiping his face on his shirt and that’s how they know he was at the scene, “That he was the one.”

Don’tknow if Murdaugh’s sons had piggybanks or not but for sure he would have raided them!

Heart of an Anvil. He had “the last supper” with them, while knowing what he was about to do.
Desperate, time running out, w/Paul’s trial beginning in 72 hrs. No Paul, no trial.

Who is white haired man that has been sitting in second row behind Alex Murdaugh for many days?
I love it when Pooty Poot’s attempt to support his position refutes his position as he reads from the criminal procedure rules…

totally agree!

What happened to the article on FitsNews about the contraband that was brought in to Alex last week?
