Maggie’s comment that she had not even tried to stop the bleeding stopped me in my tracks!! Who doesn’t try to stop someone from bleeding when they are hurt?? Chilling to me.
Don’t speak ill of the dead or of anyone who cannot defend him/herself. The Bible says, “Do not insult the deaf nor cause the blind to stumble.” Otherwise, some people are just totally without medical awareness and/or squeamish around blood. So, their immediate instinct is to call 911. This call is a typical interaction with the caller thinking it is the most important call in 911 history but the 911 operator thinking she has time to ask questions back to the beginning of history. So, each side of the phone conversation gets impatient with the other. Nothing to see here.
My only thought about the “rudeness” or “shortness” displayed by Maggie and Paul during the 911 call re Gloria Satterfield is that both of them are agitated and angry because Alex had just involved them in his crime. In my imagined scenario, he hits Gloria, pushes her down the stairs, then either wakes up or alerts Maggie and Paul and tells them Gloria has fallen and they need to call 911 and take care of everything because he (Alex) has to go to the office for important meeting (or whatever).
It doesn’t take a master sleuth to see how disturbingly similar the Gloria Satterfield “murder” scenario is to the Maggie/Paul murder scenario.
Such defensive people- You can hear someone in the background (3;11) ‘don’t tell’em anything’ Right before that you hear Maggie tell someone that there is an ambulance on the way. Since we know AM per his interview arrived before ambulance it was probably his voice telling Paul, as his mother handed him the phone, ‘don’t tell’em anything’.
The rich irony is that Eric Bland is now the loudest advocate AGAINST a charge of murdering Gloria Satterfield by any of the Murdaughs. If it was a Murdaugh PERSON, not a Murdaugh DOG, that caused Gloria’s death, the $4 million paid by whatever insurance company would have been obtained by fraud; and Eric Bland’s contingency fee from it goes bye bye. I once thought Eric Bland was a courageous man on a mission to clean the legal profession. His mission is apparently to clean out insurance companies which results in higher insurance premiums on the rest of us.
Amen and ditto to comments from SubZeroIQ. Eric Bland is on a mission to deflect media attention from possibility that Gloria was murdered. Even more disgusting is how he has enlisted Gloria’s sons to publically state that “the family doesn’t believe there was foul play” involved in her “fall”. This deliberate smokescreening by Eric is so devious and simultaneous transparent that you would think Alex served as his adviser.
How can ANYONE in law enforcement listen to Alex Murdaugh’s recorded interview with insurance investigator and not understand IMMEDIATELY the blatant similarities in details between the Satterfield “murder” (calling spade a spade from here on in this post) and the Maggie/Paul murders. (1) Victims lured to Moselle for bogus reasons; (2) Alex lying about when he left for work on the morning in question; (3) Alex lying about his whereabouts when murders took place; (4) Alex immediately stating his “theory of the cases” to investigators, specifically that “dogs tripped Gloria” and “boat revenge vigilantes killed Paul and Maggie”.
Unless Eric Bland succeeds in his transparent efforts to throw law enforcement off the case, Alex’s phone and automobile GPS records will eventually prove that he was on the property at the time of Gloria’s “fall” (probably never left property at all). Once that is established (hopefully despite Eric’s efforts), the timeline of this “murder” will fall into place.
Now to the most important reason for this case to be investigated and solved: Paul and Maggie might not have known or have wanted to believe that Alex smashed Gloria in head (my theory) and then pushed her down the stairs to set in motion a planned insurance scam … but they knew PLENTY ENOUGH to put Alex at the scene and obviously guilty of lying about everything, which in turn would convict him of insurance fraud, plus at the very least assault on Gloria. Under oath, they would have told everything they knew about the morning of Gloria’s “fall”. Their deaths solved a major potential legal problem for Alex. No point in going on … anyone who has read this and doesn’t know immediately that Alex was involved in Gloria’s fall is as dumb as Eric Bland expects everyone to be.
I didn’t go as far as you did or in the direction you did. To the contrary, I do not believe Alex Murdaugh killed anyone. The worst I believe about Alex as it relates to Gloria’s is that she had fallen due to pre-existing conditions (about which she had admitted to Barbara Ann Mixon earlier that day) and when Alex arrived with his ambulance-chaser instinct, he decided to manufacture the dogs connection. What I find ironic about Eric Bland is that he insists Alex Murdaugh is capable of killing his own wife and younger son but not killing a stranger. The difference is the profit factor for Eric Bland.
I’m curious if Bryant McGowan interviewed Maggie and Paul since they were home when Gloria fell.
Mark Tinsley said the boat crash trial date is August 14th. It’s still going to be a busy Murdaugh summer.
Now that Murdaugh is a convicted felon, his next appearances in court for his “white collar” crimes will be in a Department of Corrections jumpsuit and shackles.
P.S.:
Maybe the next time, he’ll listen to his lawyers when they tell him to “Shut the F* Up!”
Judge not lest ye be judged. What judge, lawyer, or even juror, had not instructed his/her secretary to falsely say the boss “is in a meeting” when they were available but did not want to speak to the caller for one reason or another? For that matter, didn’t the owner of this blog falsely pretend Nikki Haley tried to rape Will Folks (or actually raped him depending on which day of the week he told the false story) in the back of Nikki Haley’s Cadillac? In fact, didn’t Will Folks’ past boss falsely pretend he was “hiking the Appalachian trail”? White lies you say? Jesus Christ said to let your yes be yes and your no be no; anything more is from the evil one. Rather than gloat over another’s misfortune, say in genuine prayer, there but for the grace of God go I. Remember the parable of the tax-collector and the pharisee who both went to the temple? And let who among you without sin cast the first stone.
BTW, those who piled on the late Maggie for not knowing Gloria’s EXACT age: judging by the Gloria’s tombstone, Maggie was off by only one year when she said “I am not sure, 58 maybe.” Maggie was also off by one step when she said “eight.” Unless there is an optical illusion, I am counting seven steps. Contrast that with the officer, juror’s brother no less, to whom Alex Murdaugh gave Maggie’s EXACT date of birth on 7 June 2021; yet, few minutes later, that officer tells his colleague that Maggie was “mid-40s” when she was 51. They want to hand Alex for mis-estimating the minutes or even hours in his worst moment; but they want to give a pass to the officer who, with no excuse, subtracted 6 years from Maggie’s age.
they wand to hang Alex, not “hand” Alex. Sorry for the typo. But read Sheppard v. Maxwell. Change few names and dates and you think you’re reading SC v. Murdaugh.
