When this all blows up in HarmBo’s face (and it’s going too), will the GOB Club at the S.C. State Ethics Commission do anything about it? I bet there are some lawyers willing to take it on a civil matter!

Harpootlian (Harm) and Griffin (Bo – as in “JimBo”) have done irreparable harm to their own reputations and they’re working hard to screw up an already damaged SC Judicial system reputation.

What a cruel thing to say about who may be the last two criminal defense lawyers left in South Carolina (“SC”) who would do everything LEGALLY possible for their client!
First and foremost, Becky “Boo” Hill’s own book has enough information to vacate Alex Murdaugh’s (“AM”) conviction. Indeed, had Judge Clifton Newman read that book IN ITS ENTIRETY when it came out, he should have ON HIS OWN MOTION, gone back and granted AM’s Defense’s motions for a directed verdict of acquittal and/or for a new trial.
My late father always said that a true parent wants the child to be better than the parent. Judge Clifton Newman is often proud of Judge Jocelyn Newman being better than her father. And in at least one aspect, she is. In an important case, Judge Jocelyn went back, reconsidered, and granted a motion for a new trial after she had denied.
True greatness is not never making mistakes, but admitting the mistakes and correcting them ASAP.
Among the most disturbing revelations in Boo’s book is that a key guilty-voting male juror received “thousands of dollars” to stay on the jury instead of going back to work and getting replaced by an alternate.
THAT, not Harpootlian and Griffin, is what damages SC’s judicial system’s reputation, which (incidentally) FITSNews constantly attacks as corrupt.
Also disturbing is the excuse given for the publication of the photo of AM lying on his stone-slab-“bed” awaiting the verdict. Does that mean there were security cameras WHICH THE PUBLIC COULD SEE recording AM using the toilet in his holding cell?
Boo’s response insults the intelligence of those left with any after the Prosecution team sold SC on the strange theory of murder for sympathy.
I still want answers on who paid that juror those thousands of dollars and where that money came from.
Perhaps that is the reason Boo’s book has bee withdrawn from print, or at least from sale on the internet. Boo did not count on someone left with critical thinking.
I still say the real killers of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh were two females with prior experience in hunting animals but no military or law enforcement experience in aiming at human beings.
I have been right so far in everything I commented in this case. God willing, you will see how right I was about this last item.

What’s it like living in your altered state of reality as sub zero IQ? Your primary premise is that AleX Murderer is innocent and two women EXECUTED Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh . . . LOL!

It has been stated that the juror who received the financial assistance received that assistance thru his friends who all came together and pitched in enough money for him to remain on the jury and be able to pay his bills which was his concern. That tells me that juror was discussing the trial with others which goes against what Judge Newman ordered them to not do. It also tells me that this juror had some really good friends who were concerned enough to put forth this money to make sure he didn’t have financial issues as a result.

It makes me really think more about the financial issues that face out jurors when they are forced to be in this situation by a government who isn’t even paying them a decent amount to where the financial obligations of that juror are an issue. I think our jurors should be paid the amount of whatever their loss would be by having to legally remain in that jury or they face imprisonment for failing to meet this forces obligation. It’s wrong on so many levels in my own personal opinion and probably the opinion of anyone who has had their bills not paid or their issues with child support as a result. Why is this even an issue?

Respectfully and succinctly, jury service (like voting) is NOT by conscription.
No one should be making money off voting or off jury service; nor should jury service be a paid vacation from a job.
The only possible non-corruptible (or less corruptible) way is some law for employers to grant employees paid leave for CONFIRMED jury service, which many civic-minded employers do anyway.
But what has happened here is WAY beyond the pale no matter how much lipstick is put on that pig.
Yes, you have to respond to a jury summons. But there are several mandatory and discretionary exemptions.
All that juror had to say at the initial jury selection OR as the trial went on was that jury service would impose a financial hardship on him.
Then that juror would have been excused from jury service to begin with OR he would have been replaced by an alternate. There were six alternates available. That is what alternates are for.
But for a juror to receive outside one, in the “thousands of dollars,” from unknown people is unheard of, at least by me.
I regret that you do not see this as an issue at all; but I am shocked to my core that it happened and even more shocked that Becky “Boo” Hill bragged about it.

Griff, Harpo and Murderer are the circus clown act of the South Carolina injustice system. They lost their defense case because Murderer was guilty, and they’re embarrassed as hell. Regarding Rebecca Hill, she is just a killing sport to them . . . like trapping hogs in a pit and then trying to hang them; and, if that doesn’t work, they’ll shoot ’em, like Paul Murdaugh did. Anything to win and abusing the system to do it. Rebecca Hill did nothing wrong and these three clowns know it.

Why should I read Becky Boo’s book again? Will rereading it make the shocking stuff in it normal?
Explain to me how a guilty-voting juror receiving “thousands of dollars” to stay on the jury instead of returning to work and getting replaced by an alternate is not shocking. That is on pp 58-60 of Becky Boo’s book.
It is also somewhat confirmed by the very affidavits SLED got from the willing jurors. I assume it is the same one because it says he had financial difficulties and asked the clerk of court (Becky Boo) to bring them to the judge’s attention.
Even that is improper. The only proper thing would have been for the jury foreperson at the time to send a note DIRECTLY to the judge indicating a juror wishes to discuss his financial difficulties with the judge.
Now we also learn that bailiffs were accepting tips from giving tours of the courthouse!!!
How many abnormal and unethical things are you willing to brush off as normal, or even good, to keep in place the wrongful convictions of an innocent grieving widower and father?

I don’t know why you think it’s not for sale anymore. I clearly see it in both the website for the book and on Amazon as well.

I may have misunderstood; but I recall reading that the post with photo had a link to pre-order the book and that is no longer operable.

After I learned the history of the City of Kherbert or Harpoot and its relationship to the Armenian Genocide, I am morally repulsed by anyone who tries to belittle an Armenian-rooted lawyer by associating the name of his city of origin with a child’s potty.
Would you make such fun of him if his name were Auschwitzer?
The time of death used to convict Alex Murdaugh (“AM”) is off by at least half an hour. When that SCIENTIFIC fact is accepted, it is clear that AM had an ironclad alibi which Becky Hill worked so hard to make the jury discount.
I pray that Jean Toal harkens back to everything good and just she was taught in Catholic school and holds true to the one thing I like most about her: her willingness to study the actual record, to the point of almost, if not actually, memorizing it, before taking the bench on any matter, big or small, before her.
Jean Toal, dogs are not gods. Wild boars are hunted at night. Victims who had a large dinner and a cup of coffee after 8:00 pm would have had WAY MORE than 500 ccs left in their stomacks if they had been killed as early as 8:45 pm on the same day. Ask any gastro-enterologist or pathologist. You know where to find at least one of each. God speed to you in exonerating the wrongly convicted.
