Attorneys for convicted killer hosting press conference this week …

Sounds like lawyers milking another couple million out of their client … is it a coincidence that nobody has been shot to death in Hampton/Colleton Counties since he’s been imprisoned?
People have been stabbed to death and their house burned while Alex Murdaugh (“AM”) was/still is in prison. AM is not the root of all evil; the love of money is. And neither AM nor his family holds/held a monopoly on the love of money.
It’s not as if there had been a series of look-alike murders “in Hampton/Colleton Counties” which suddenly stopped with AM’s incarceration.
For the love of God, please stop hating on a man who might, God willing, turn out to be an innocent grieving widower and father.
FYI, if you listened carefully to Corey Fleming’s (“CF”) state guilty plea, they were only two incidents of wrong-doing by CF which the Prosecution milked into 20-or-so indictments. My analysis of the first one confirms my suspicious that most personal injury (“PI”) lawyers in South Carolina (“SC”) get rich by faking cases and getting the defense lawyer hired by the insurance company to roll over and pay much for an imaginary claim then get half the fee.
This is only MY conclusion: Jean Folkes (“JF”) is a cousin to the maid of Eve Fleming (“EF”), CF’s lawyer wife. JF’s cousin’s husband/boyfriend physically abused a child by hitting with a heavy object/stomping on the child’s forearm, causing comminuted fracture of both the radius and the ulna. EF is a bleeding heart or she would not have been a public defender. Instead of reporting the abuser, EF wanted to help the child out; so, she got the child’s cousin to sue EF (a precursor to AM’s basically suing himself for Gloria Satterfield’s death) so the child’s medical treatment gets paid for. Whom did they get to file the suit? Why AM of course.
That is why AM gave CF half of AM’s 40% contingency fee.
The child gets necessary medical treatment, three lawyers (AM, CF and EF’s insurance defense lawyer) make a good bit of money; and everyone “wins” EXCEPT the rest of us whose insurance rates go up.
I am NOT in any way condoning AM’s or CF’s financial crimes. All I am saying is: insurance fraud (or at even mere exaggeration of claims) by PI lawyers if NOT acceptable. But there is a world of difference between insurance fraud and murder. Capice?
Subzero IQ, you are in the same boat as Buster Murdaugh, speeding down the River of Denial. You’re going to crash. It’s only a matter of time.
If there is, God forbid, a boat crash “down the River of Denial,” I pray I won’t get killed before I testify it was Veritas, not I, piloting that boat.
Jury tampering would not prove his innocence but could grant a new trial.
Who is paying for this nonsense?
First, Jim was chastised by Judge Newsome for unethical behavior on Twitter during the trial.
Second, these are the same people who said Alex had an ironclad alibi.
Finally, they’re the same folks who said they were working on finding the real killer.
Well, where is the real killer?
If I represented someone who lied to me about their alibi, I’d ditch them.
But, birds of a feather.
Alex Murdaugh (“AM”) DOES have an iron-clad alibi: he was in his mother’s bed holding her hand at the REAL time of the shooting.
The time of death is NOT the time the cell phone battery died or the time the cell phone was turned off for any reason. The time of death is when brain activity ceases completely; and it is NOT determined by a hand in the armpit as the Colleton County Coroner-without-a-thermometer testified. It is determined by other BIOLOGICAL, not internet-gossip, markers.
With an accurate time of death, where is ANY evidence against AM? No eye-witness, no fingerprints, no DNA, and most of all NO MOTIVE a reasonable person would credit.
AM lied about being at the kennel an hour or so before THE REAL TIME OF DEATH because lying is second-nature to a lawyer addicted to opioid before he went into recovery. That is ALL. Ever noticed how secretaries instinctively say their boss “is in a meeting” when the caller on the phone is someone to whom their boss does not want to talk?
Also, lawyers in South Carolina (and I assume in all other jurisdictions) are REQUIRED to file an appeal (if the client wants one) even if the appeal were frivolous.
The only times a lawyer is allowed to withdraw from representation in the middle of a trial or an appeal is if the lawyer knows the client INTENDS to give false testimony or asks them to write something false in an appellate brief.
If Jim Griffin had done something truly unethical, Judge Clifton Newman would have been required to report Jim Griffin for discipline.
The more serious ethical violations are, NOT from AM’s defense team, but from all those plaintiffs’ lawyers whose civil cases benefited from AM’s conviction in violation of Rule 4.5.
Here is Rule 4.5 again:
RULE 4.5: THREATENING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
A lawyer shall not present, participate in presenting, or threaten to present criminal or professional disciplinary charges solely to obtain an advantage in a civil matter.

This Rule is not included in the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. The language of this Rule is based upon DR 7 105 of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
You must have gone to a special stupid school. Why did he want the caregiver and the housekeeper to lie. How did some unknown killers get the Murdaughs weapons. I have never heard a more rehearsed 911 call. “My wife and child have been shot badly.” “Paul’s, (not Pau Pau), phoned popped out of his pocket and I picked it up and put it back down quickly”, like someone is going to come home and find his wife and “child” killed and be thinking, “I shouldn’t have picked up that phone”, really? He went back to the house and said, “I’m leaving”, not “Mags” I’m going to check on Mom, would you go with me”, wasn’t that the purpose of her coming to Moselle that night? The “Blue Rain Jacket” that the caregiver saw him bring upstairs, that has GSR all on the inside. Calling Maggie and Paul’s cell phones continuously when leaving for his mom’s house, if he wanted to talk to them so much, why didn’t he go back by the kennels, because he had already killed them and was only trying to fabricate an alibi! Why did he lie about being at the kennels until the video was presented as evidence? Now I can go on and on for days and days, but these things alone are plenty enough to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt. So if these things don’t prove his guilt to you, then, as I said, you had to go to some kind of special stupid school. You’re a sick puppy or a Murdaugh…which is it?
Prison inmates have no rights. They cannot vote. They cannot have press conferences.
Not true at all about “no rights.” The U.S. Supreme Court ruled UNANIMOUSLY, with Justice Alito writing the opinion, that they even have a right to grow a 1/4 inch beard if they want to UNLESS the prison officials can prove that a beard that short can be used to conceal a weapon.
I do not know if a Seikh inmate would be allowed to keep his hair; but fortunately not many Seikhs commit crimes in America. Let’s pray it stays this way.
Now I get it SubZeroIQ, your IQ does have to be below zero and I’m sure you fit right in with Murdaugh, “Poot” and Biden, no question you’re nothing but a left wing, liberal, democrat. That explains it all, I guess you think Biden is doing a great job too……
All the jurors should be given a lie detector test before anything goes forward.
