I am elated at the screws tightening on how Dick & Jim are getting paid. There is still a lot of Mickey Mouse going on & it is clear from the slips & inconsistencies in Dick & Jim’s claims of they are (or aren’t) being paid. All of the claims they have made are not true because they directly contradict each other. Let the truth be told.

Is Tabor Vaux, Esq. the son of Roberts Vaux, ESq., the illegitimate half-brother of Randolph Murdaugh and son of the original Buster Murdaugh? One side of the family suing the other?

From his website “Roberts Vaux, Jr., known as Tabor, was born in Beaufort and raised in Bluffton.”….hmmmm, this would be worth more investigation.

Bottom line: Alex Murdaugh is a cash cow.
1. Leave Buster out of this. He didn’t have ANYTHING to do with any of this mess.
2. The state & the feds know Alex’s trust fund is out of their respective reach.
3. Harpootlian & Griffin, no doubt, have book deals, interviews, & Hollywood lined up.
4. How much did Creighton Waters make at CrimeCon?

Amelia, Amelia, Amelia. Calm down. First, you’ve insulted boovines everywhere. Secondly, we all know Lil’ Bus Bus is working with Da Da (father of Pa Pa) to keep his own bank account healthy. He’s a Murdaugh, after all. And it’s none of your damn business whether or not Waters gets public speaking money, to which he is fully entitled. Go away, you annoying, buzzing fly.

Not so fast, Veritas.
Creighton Waters is a public employee and inquiry into even his attendance at CrimeCon is totally proper, just as is the inquiry into “Becky Boo” Hill’s riding the Alex Murdaugh conviction literally on an all-expense paid flight to New York and figuratively to sell her book.
I am in it for justice; but justice can neither be rationed nor balkanized. So, Justice for the much-unfairly maligned Buster Murdaugh is connected to justice for the much-unfairly maligned Dr. Marie Faltas.
I want to point out several things, the first of which is about Creighton Waters’ assistant at the Murdaugh murders trial, David Amadeo Fernandez.
There is indication that Fernandez is the main, if not the sole, fabricator of the unquestionably false story about a FaceBook post by the egg juror’s ex-husband to the effect that the egg juror was drinking with her ex-husband and ran her mouth about the case.
That indication is from the transcript of the in-chambers conference where Fernandez tells Judge Clifton Newman, “we know his name for what it’s worth.”
What does this have to do with Dr. Marie Faltas?
You see, the City of Columbia was paying Hatchet-for-Hire Heather $70K/year in addition to her salary as an assistant solicitor in Barney Giese’s office under the supervision of John Meadors. Hatchet-for-Hire Heather’s role was to bring criminal charges, true or false, “right or wrong” against anyone the City of Columbia or its employees or officials, or FRIENDS of its employees or officials does not like.
The City of Columbia hated, and still hates Dr. Marie Faltas for having proven that it used a fabricated Polaroid to falsely convict her of label swapping. Once Dr. Marie Faltas proved TO THE CITY OF COLUMBIA’S OWN JUDGE that the Polaroid was fabricated, “dummied-up” in the secret admission of the City of Columbia’s own legal counsel Robert G. Cooper, that municipal judge vacated Dr. Faltas’ wrongful label-swapping conviction; but the City’s legal counsel fought against Dr. Faltas all the way to the State Supreme Court and ultimately lost there.
In March 2009, Dr. Marie Faltas and her mother bought a vacant lot of land within the City of Columbia’s limits NOT knowing that the City and the adjacent property owner had ILLEGALLY and surreptitiously run a sewer connection under that land without any easement.
That sewer connection prevented, and still prevents, Dr. Faltas from building on that land what she dreamt, and still dreams, would have been South Carolina’s first completely solar single-family residence.
Dr. Faltas tried all administrative remedies to no avail. So, she sued the City and that adjacent property owner and sought a preliminary injunction to force removal and re-routing of that illegal sewer connection.
What does the City do? It asks/orders Hatchet-for-Hire Heather to bring false criminal charges against Dr. Faltas. Hatchet-for-Hire Heather does; but despite putting false witnesses and lying about their criminal records, the jury refused to give Hatchet-for-Hire Heather the conviction she sought against Dr. Marie Faltas, who had defended herself WITHOUT A LAWYER in a five-day General Sessions trial presided over by non-other than Judge Clifton Newman.
After John Meadors lost his bid for 5th circuit solicitor and Hatchet-for-Hire Heather lost her FIRST bid to prevent Dr. Marie Faltas from defending herself without a lawyer, Hatchet-for-Hire Heather hightailed it to Alan Wilson’s office after ILLEGALLY transferring the fake cases brought in General Sessions down to the City of Columbia and into the hands of David Fernandez.
There, David Fernandez used against Dr. Marie Faltas tactics AKIN TO the fake FaceBook against the egg juror.
More details to follow, God willing and FITS permitting.

No one in South Carolina would tell this story in its full breadth.
It can be a big scoop for you AFTER you fact-check, which should be easy enough if you have Becky Hill’s book “Behind the Doors of Justice.” It turns out not only Becky Hill and the jurors of the Alex Murdaugh case wanted “their 15 minutes” but they put their children, too, with them.
In Becky “Boo” Hill’s book page 191, you see a photo of Boo’s daughter with this caption:
Country music star, Dustin Lynch, and my “plus one” (daughter Aubrey) spent time together in NBC’s The Today Show green room.
TRANSLATION: At least Becky Hill AND HER DAUGHTER flew expense-free to New York with at least three jurors who voted guilty, each of which PRESUMABLY has a “plus one,” too.
So, at least 8 people had a luxury junket to New York paid for with the blood and tears of Paul, Maggie, and Alex Murdaugh.
It gets even worse:
At pages 59-60 of her book, Becky Hill writes:
What I learned on our flight to New York City after the trial was that three close friends of his [meaning of a male juror who voted guilty] all chipped in and paid the financially strapped juror his regular salary. For all six weeks of the trial! Several thousand dollars.
TRANSLATION: Thousands of dollars were being paid DIRECTLY from an outside source to a juror who voted guilty to enable him to stay on the jury.
WHO ARE THOSE THREE CLOSE FRIENDS? Why was it important for them that THIS juror serve on the jury? Was that even their own money or were they funnelling it from an outside source?
That is way, way, worse than anything Becky Hill admits to about her own misconduct.

I, too, am “hunting” but NOT for myself.
And I want to know about “the money trail” TO AT LEAST ONE JUROR.
Interesting questions: (1) Was Jonathan Hill hires out of nepotism? (2) Was Jonathan fired when Andy began reporting on this? AND (3) Was Jonathan Hill involved in fabricating the fake FaceBook story against the egg juror?
Otherwise, people attack me SIMPLY BECAUSE they did NOT bother to read Becky Hill’s ENTIRE book. I DID.
I DID read Becky Hill’s ENTIRE book and am even more bothered about things others NEVER NOTICED and are not talking about.
What bothered me MOST OF ALL is the revelation in Becky Hill’s book pages 59-60 that a juror who voted guilty then flew expense-free to New York to talk about the quick verdict on national TV had received THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to stay on the jury instead of returning to work and being replaced by an alternate.
TO ME, this is a BIGGER STORY than anything Becky Hill did or did not do.
THAT IS straight BRIBING a juror.
Who are that man’s three friends who paid him “thousands of dollars”? What was their motive for doing that?
Was that even their own money or were they funnelling it from someone else?
YOU and I do need to know all those ADDITIONAL facts. But what Becky Hill ALREADY wrote about that is shocking enough.

Judge Newman’s own late son had committed the “financial crime” of tax evasion but got only probation.
The maternal grandfather of South Carolina’s Justice John Kittredge had committed “the financial crimes” of price fixing; but Kittredge abused his position to get his grandfather a presidential pardon.
A still-sitting federal judge in South Carolina helped his second wife’s best friend with “the financial crime” of getting troubled-assets-assitance meant only for owner-occupied residences.
Many still-sitting or recently-retired federal judge got their positions by keeping silent on “the financial crimes” of the late Strom Thurmond paying his bi-racial daughter hush money and keeping her not free to reveal her true identity until Thurmond died.
While two wrongs or ten wrongs do not make a right, hyposcrisy needs to be stopped. If you want to condemn financial crimes, condemn them by the still-powerful, not only by those who (for one reason or another) have fallen from power.

?”Following the money” in these cases leads to the lawyers who were (and still are) suing Alex AND BUSTER Murdaugh AND Gregg Parker for the boat crash case and for Gloria Satterfield’s death.
It was, and still is, in the interest of those lawyers to FALSELY pin the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh on Alex AND to falsely pin Stephen Smith’s on Buster.
I know how that works because I WAS FALSELY ACCUSED of crimes to force me to abandon a civil lawsuit. In my case, I defended myself WITHOUT A LAWYER to a jury in a trial presided over by none other than Judge Clifton Newman; and, thank God, the jury refused to convict them the first time; and I later, STILL WITHOUT A LAWYER, got THAT SET of false criminal charges against me dismissed WITH PREJUDICE.
How do I know that Alex was wrongly convicted of the murders?
FIRST, because SOME OF THE SAME PROSECUTORS were in his case and mine: Donald Zelenka, John Meadors, Creighton Waters, Johnny James, David Fernandez, AND Sara Heather Savitz Weiss (“Hatchet-for-hire Heather”).
SECOND, because that gang used on me the same tactics they used on Alex in his murder trials.
THIRD, because I am a medical doctor with specialization experience in Pathology among other specialties although I am NOT a board-certified forensic pathologist. I know MEDICALLY the time of death is closer to 10:00 pm than to 9:00 pm.
FOURTH and now-foremost, now that I read Becky Hill’s book in its entirety, it is clear that, no only did she tamper with that jury, that jury had been tampering with itself all along INCLUDING A MALE JUROR (who voted “guilty” and convinced the not-guilty/unsure jurors to change their votes to “guilty” then flew expense-free to New York to talk about the verdict on national TV) having received “thousands of dollars” from “three friends” to stay on the jury instead of returning to work and getting replaced by an alternate.
It boggles my mind that people brag about these things and even attribute them to God, when they are crimes. It is crime enough for that juror to have received outside money to stay on that jury. It would be an even bigger crime if that outside money was being funnelled through that juror’s “friends” from, say, the lawyers suing Alex Murdaugh and Gregg Parker.
THAT is where “following the money” leads me.
Peace!
