Week in Review: Special Murdaugh Retrial Edition
Breaking down a busy preliminary hearing ahead of accused killer Alex Murdaugh’s second trial… and addressing an unexpected courtroom bombshell.
13 comments
If the discussion of the .300 blackout was a “bombshell”, the bomb was a dud.
Now that, thank God, there is more rejection of the falsehood that Alex was the shooter, I do not want it replaced with another falsehood that he was there.
Here is what I posted on your YouTube video:
? @jackmack1670 , while I agree Richard Alexander Murdaugh (“RAM”) did not pull the trigger but MIGHT HAVE a good idea “who and why. He can’t talk because it puts [others] in danger,” I CANNOT agree RAM “was there when it happened.”
RAM would have defended Paull and Maggie with his own life; or, at least, the three Murdaughs present might have put up a successful defense against the REAL would-be-shooter(s).
This idea that RAM “was there when it happened” is based SOLELY on the WRONG time of the end of Paul and Maggie’s lives, which time is again WRONGLY and SOLELY based on the end of their cell phone batteries’ FUNCTIONAL charge.
Once you eliminate the misconception about the REAL time of the shootings, everything supposedly incriminating RAM becomes actually exonerating of him.
I notice a new dimple at the upper left corner of RAM’s lips.
Otherwise, here is another reply of mine to a comment on your YouTube show today:
? @msmp23 , while I get righteously indignant at people who are obsessed with twisting even the exculpatory evidence into FALSE evidence of RAM’s guilt, I sense that you are either toying with me in what you think is good humor OR have been genuinely mislead by the saturation CONTINUING prejudicial publicity against RAM.
Though nothing is fun or funny about framing the innocent, and of two horrible takings of human lives at that, I will humor you.
What can be more stupid than hiring “cleaners” in the plural for a muder?
“Hello, so-and-so, I plan to shoot my wife and younger son at 8:49 pm on 7 June 2021, then high-tail to my parents’ home in Almeda and be right back. Be there on the dot to clean after me but be gone by the time I call 911 and fake cry over them!”
I shall say no more but instead leave you to, God willing, think for yourself and disabuse yourself of a total fabrication by the latest arrival on the market of those who want to sell books and profit from the blood of Maggie and Paul and the past wrongful conviction of RAM.
How many books and movies on the matter so far?
At least one author is now a convicted perjurer and her book withdrawn.
And at least one pod-caster is found in contempt of court.
What should that tell you about the Murdaugh haters?
Another inexactitude is that RAM “stole” from his “disabled clients.”
Here is my explanation to another commenter who thought I was “kidding” in insisting that RAM’s sentence is grossly disproportioned to his financial misdeeds:
? @marciawellman8668 , no! I am VERY serious. If you analyze those cases closely, it is NOT as if that money was in someone’s pocket (literally or figuratively) and Alex reached out and pick-pocketed it. In EVERY case of the so-called financial crimes, those settlements or court verdicts would have been MUCH LESS or ZERO if another lawyer had represented those clients.
Why?
Because, and I am NOT defending any of that, Alex had inherited and built-over a network of connections to, even bribes and entrapments of, defense lawyers and judges. That takes money and even trading drugs. Alex must have justified it to himself by saying to himself that he is entitled to the difference between the case’s real worth and the huge amount he extorted out of the insurance company with the bought acquiescence of the insurance defense lawyers.
Have you any idea how many more horrible accidents the insurance companies fight and win? And have you any idea how many small insurance claims the insurance companies fight to the hilt and prefer to pay the defense lawyers ten times what the plaintiff would have accepted?
It is a dirty system through and through with BOTH plaintiffs’ lawyers and insurance defense lawyers being best frenemies; and we, the honest and careful-driving policy holders are the real victims who see our insurance premiums rise continuously and disproportionately to inflation to feed a system of collusion among insurance adjustors and lawyers.

Think, people, think!
Hotels in Charleston expensive? So, let the Attorney General rent a furnished apartment or two or three for a month or two or three to accommodate the prosecution team and witnesses he wants to send for the retrial.
That certainly would be an infinitesimal fraction of the $75 million Alan Wilson gave two private law firms.
Suddenly want to save public money? Don’t obsessively pursue a new conviction right or wrong.
On Maggie’s phone, this is how I replied to a comment on your yesterday’s show:
?@ritaeichler2066 , Maggie never responded because she could not reach the phone because the unknown male whose DNA is under her left hand fingernails had wrestled it away from her and ran away with it, leaving it on the grass nearby.
Look at the photo of Maggie’s phone when and where found the next morning.
Does that look thrown from the height of a moving car or placed there by hand?
Think about it!
Had Alex been the real shooter, he would have taken Paul’s phone too.
I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. But it would be nice if someone could join me in AT LEAST questioning the Prosecution’s time of the shootings, which I explained many times is too early.
Here is my most recent effort:
? @ritaeichler2066 , First, middle, and last, if you understand that the shootings did NOT happen, and could NOT have happened, as early as the Prosecution pretends, which is only 22 minutes after the victims’ KNOWN large, and relatively fatty, last meal, EVERYTHING ELSE falls into place.
I have no personal connection to Murdaugh or any one in his family or former businesses. I do, however, know most members of that prosecution team because they tried as hard, but thank God failed, to frame ME.
Otherwise, the video of Cash the dog is NOT “inside the feed room.”
I have no idea if those who cling to the WRONG time of death are paid Murdaugh haters or ones who cannot admit they were wrong; but Judge McCaslin, who takes the initiative of calling the prison warden about facilitating Alex Murdaugh’s viewing of the discovery, should take the initiative in laying at least two issues to rest:
(1) Would the contents of Paul’s and Maggie’s stomachs at autopsy have been so little and so digested had they been killed only 22 minutes after their KNOWN large, and relatively fatty, last meal?
(2) Would the thin twigs above Maggie’s phone, seen in the photo of where and when it was found the next morning, have stayed rooted and unbroken if that phone had been thrown from above from a moving vehicle? Or does the intact vegetation ABOVE the phone indicate it was placed there by hand?
NOTHING, but nothing, prevents a trial court from calling its own experts on its own initiative. That would remedy and rectify the public perception that justice can be bought. It could also save a lot of public funds.
I who, thank God and WITHOUT A LAWYER, did for myself what Richard Alexander Murdaugh’s (“RAM”) entire defense team could not do for him: prevent a jury from returning a wrongful conviction in the court of none other than Judge Clifton Newman (and later, always thank God and WITHOUT A LAWYER, got the false criminal charges against me dismissed WITH PREJUDICE by another jurist) am branded “c wild” and told to “calm down.”
Here are my responses to those comments:
?
@ipsosmaati0730
, I don’t know what “wild c theories” are according to you. But I do know two of the most stupid “theories” I have ever heard are: (1) When the charge on your cell phone battery dies, you do, too; and (2) a man, whose father was terminal, dying, and did die three days later, would shoot his beloved wife and younger son for added sympathy.
@ipsosmaati0730
, the evidence is in the photo of Maggie’s phone where and when found the morning that followed the shootings.
It was most likely place there by hand, not thrown from above from a moving car. Look at the vegetation in that photo.
Otherwise, why should I calm down about framing the innocent? I know it gets done. I know it was attempted, but thank God failed, against me. And I know that the framers, failed or successful, NEVER forgive the innocent for defending his/her innocence. THAT gets done to me TO THIS DAY even though my innocence was iron-clad proven and I also presented objective proof intentional falsehoods used against me. But no one else cares.

And on CrimeFix, people are judging Alex guilty based on what THEY think THEY would have acted.
Here is my response to one of them.
? @CatherineKlerowski , you don’t know what you would actually remember or forget if, God forbid, your husband were murdered, UNLESS you ACTUALLY went through it.
The one “natural experiment” we have is Jackie’s reaction when JFK was shot before the whole world. Self-preservation instinct and/or security training kicks in and takes over.
Don’t take my word for it. Look at the Zapruder film.
Malicious Mandy Matney (“MMM”) reports that Mr. Harpootlian (and again, his name is as related to the Armenian Genocide as it would have been had been Jewish and his name had been Auschwitzer, for example. So, please respect the name, if not the man) wrote to Judge McCaslin that Richard Alexander Murdaugh’s (“RAM”) defense team now suggests Richland County instead of Charleston County.
Surprised that, if true, MMM would have scooped YOU, FITS, on something RAM-defense related, Mr. Harpootlian is making it hard for those of us who believe in RAM’s actual innocence to defend him if he leaks to MMM.
Or does MMM have a line to Judge McCaslin’s office?
This world of supposed journalism is so (let me spare the adjectives) to me that I give up on it.
What I will not give up on is Science. I had Botany in high school and my pre-med year. But I would abide by what a botanist says about what the vegetation in the photo of Maggie’s phone when and where found the morning after the shootings.
Was that phone thrown from above or placed by hand at the vegetation level?
Botany is increasingly used in forensic investigations. And an authoritative answer to this question, by a court expert called on the court’s own motion, will solve the case, increase public confidence in the judiciary, and save public funds, not to mention stimulate young people to study Botany and other Natural Sciences.
I call on Judge McCaslin to do so.
The purpose of SC’s Judicial Branch cannot, and should not, be to discredit Dr. Marie Faltas even when she is clearly correct.
Two unforced errors by Mr. Harpootlian in one week alone make it necessarily for anyone who wants the truth to read this comment of mine on Nick Reagan’s show:I hope you’re not one of those journalists already invested in Richard Alexander Murdaugh’s (“RAM”) being wrongfully convicted again; and I hope you have the same access as Anne Emmerson to the photo of Maggie’s phone where and when found the morning after the shootings.
I have no personal connections whatsoever to RAM himself and never knowingly met him or any member of his immediate or extended family. And I have no representation or any other business or personal relationship with any members of RAM’s defense team.
But I am a medical doctor who had Botany pre-med, a year-long course of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology in medical school (from which I graduated WITH HONORS) and later had specialized training in Pathology. I am also an Epidemiologist and Biostatistician, having my MPH from UNC-Chapel Hill. I speak four languages and am highly educated in the literatures of three of them.
Also and more crucially, thank God, WITHOUT A LAWYER, and in the court of none other than Judge Clifton Newman, did for myself what RAM’s entire defense team failed to do for him: prevent a jury from returning a wrongful conviction at the end of a 5-day trial by jury.
Later, again thank God and WITHOUT A LAWYER, I got another jurist to dismiss the false criminal charges against me (which, God forbade, could have gotten me 36 years) WITH PREJUDICE.
So, not only do I know what it is like to be falsely accused, I know most of the prosecutors who are falsely accusing RAM because they, their supervisors, and/or subordinates were the ones falsely accusing me and trying to frame me.
I also know their tactics, their motives, and their lack of remorse.
Having said all that, just take a look at the photo of Maggie’s phone: could a phone have threaded itself between the twigs above it and below it had it been thrown from above from a fast-moving car, or any car?
If you fair-mindedly assess my observation of that photo, you would AT LEAST give serious consideration to my inference: the DNA under Maggie’s left-hand fingernails is that of member of the shooting cabal which descended on Moselle as sun was setting at 8:30 pm on 7 June 2021, lay in waiting until RAM left in his car, then wrestled Maggie’s phone from her left hand to prevent her from using it to call for help, ran with it on foot far enough from Maggie’s reach but hid it by hand in the vegetation close enough for that member of the shooting cabal to return on foot and finish cleaning the scene after the shooting had been done.
Most other so-called journalists are making fools of themselves parroting prosecution theories and excuses.
Bluntly, the field of fools is so crowded there is no more room for one more RAM-hating book or forecast.
Will you be the one journalist who takes a fair and fresh look at everything and allow me to further explain my inferences of RAM’s innocence?
On a second look, what I thought was a dimple on the left upper corner of Alex Murdaugh’s lips looks like a scar from a surgical instrument used to remove a skin lesion.
I cannot find another earlier photo with the same high resolution for comparison and do not have the time to look for one.
But redheads are at higher risk of certain skin conditions. Daoes anyone know what the story is here?
Having taken the Hippocratic Oath, I am not trying to invade Alex’s medical privacy; but he does have a surviving red-headed son and the new baby may be a red head, too. So, as usual, Prevention, people, Prevention! Learn the particular risks of your ethnicity and your skin type.
