“But the job of a journalist is to follow the the truth”

Let us know when a journalist shows up here.

FITS Sources have been pretty good in the past so this seems plausible…

So, one clicks on this article and it counts against the free ones you claim to give each month to those who do not think you are worth subsidizing BUT ALL ONE GETS is a request to subscribe to read the content?!?!? No thanks! Keep your content for the dupes who still believe you after you pretended Nikki Haley tried to rape you in the back of her Cadillac, then you pretended you were writing a book about it, then you pretended a willing prostitute was the victim of sex-trafficking. You helped get Alex Murdaugh wrongly convicted; now it is Buster’s turn in you callous heart? I admit I visit for the lead gossip which starts threads of thought not available elsewhere. But that is where it begins, not where it ends. I do my own research and use my own sense, unlike the bevy of parrots who surrond you. I still have too much class to say anything other than “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” and “from the cup you served others, ye shall be made to drink.”

You are correct about the lack of a fair trial. Look at all the comments at the end of these articles. No one was ever interested in Murdaugh getting a fair trial. Everyone just wanted to watch him burn. Some justice system. It’s nauseating that so many people don’t understand the importance of a fair trial. It doesn’t matter if you like the person or not; whether you think they’re guilty or not. Fair trials have to be maintained so the innocent are not wrongfully convicted. It’s not about Murdaugh. His trial should never have been held down there. There’s no way he could’ve gotten a fair trial. I think his lawyers underestimated how much people hate him there. Not to mention, people love to see other people fall, especially people who have always had things they envied. Then they smugly sit back and convince themselves that they’re only interested in seeing him get what’s coming to him. Yeah, right. Same damn people who would be racing to kiss his *ss if he hadn’t “fallen from grace.” (Folks seriously needs to come up with some new lines. I skip half his articles because the majority of it is repetition. Takes forever to get to the new information.) Anyway, people are so transparent and so fickle. That man was convicted before the jury was even assembled. Welcome to the South.

Okay! So, one MUSC pathologist MUST be wrong solely because she diagnosed a motor vehicle accident when some wanted her to diagnose a murder; but another MUSC pathologist MUST be right solely because she diagnosed a down-up wound when Alex Murdaugh’s defense argued for an up-down wound?!?!? Is that jounalism or a lynch mob? Have some self-respect! Buy or borrow some if you can’t find it within yourself.

Based on the injuries sustained, anyone with some common sense or half a brain can determine that it was not a hit and run accident. The pathologist based her decision on him simply being in a roadway. Who wanted it diagnosed as a murder?? Just for the way the Murdaughs operate, most likely she was paid to say it was a hit and run. They were at the scene…why?

Have YOU seen the injuries? If, according to you, one pathologist can be paid off to issue a false report FOR Alex Murdaugh, then another pathologist can be paid off by SLED or whomever to a false report AGAINST Alex Murdaugh. “Common sense” dictates that IF female pathologists’ professional consciences are for sale, then they are for sale to the highest bidder, be that the Murdaughs or the anti-Murdaughs. I do NOT think pathologists’ consciences are for sale and I do NOT make conclusions based on what I have not seen or not seen an authentic pictures of. I do know, however, that, in close cases, reasonable, experienced, and alert, pathologist and radiologists, as in other medical specialties, can differ in diagnosis and recommendations for medical treatment. Unless you KNOW different, please have more respect for female physicians. Thanks.

Only three things are 100% certain when it comes to the Stephen Smith case:
(1) His death was NOT the result of a “hit-and-run” accident. (That is,
unless “hitting” Stephen in the head until he died, then moving his
body and leaving it in the middle of road, and then “running” away
from the scene is the definition of a “hit-and-run”.)
(2) The initial “investigation” resulted in a broad cover-up by at least
one and possibly multiple law enforcement agencies.
(3) For whatever reasons, there were (and apparently still are) some
important individuals in South Carolina who do not want this case
solved or even thoroughly investigated.
in South Carolina did not and do not want this case solved.
(and apparently still do not) want this murder solved.
want this case
solved.

Have you SEEN someone hit Stephen Smith in the head until he died? On what do you base what you write? Is it not enough that Alex Murdaugh got wrongly convicted of two murders he did not commit? Now you want to frame Buster too? Get some religion, really, injustice is a sin.

Great reporting, as always, guys. You really must have stirred up the ant hill with all these “poor innocent Alex” posts. Keep shining the light..

Almost down Buster…. er um “SubZero”. There is no way a person gets hit by a car with such force he is fatally injured yet he had no scrapes or burns from the roadway and there is no evidence of car parts and his loosely tied shoes remained on and no injuries to his body below the shoulder. It’s impossible. Dont believe me? Try throwing yourself on the street and see if you have no scrapes or cuts. Try it!

Gooding Cemetary? Is that owned by the Gooding & Gooding law firm where Mark Tinsley works? Just asking!

You write: “That review strongly suggested Smith was engaged in what could charitably be described as high-risk behavior at the time he was killed.” What does that mean? Are you implying he was into drugs? Other crime? Sky diving?

What kind of “reporter” uses that phrase and gives absolutely no context? Very irresponsible and borders on defamatory because it implies terrible behavior on the part of the victim, Stephen.
