Well done Judge! This is what a law and order Judge is.
Second time should be spelled without a capital J.
@@Pe6ek Thank you so much, spelling police. I stand corrected. And Will Never Inappropriately Use a Capital Letter In The Wrong Place Again!
100 percent CORRECT decision, bravo judge. That murdaugh is definitely a murderer. So be it.
Judge Toal has all my respect. She is so well spoken and absolutely killing it at 80 years old
I think she should have used this opportunity to tack on 25 years to his sentence for calling his son “Paw-paw”.
Even the prosecutor called him out on such a ridiculous nickname.
@@wjb4578don’t forget about “Mags”
Yes!! Thank you!!! 👏👏👏👏
😂😂😂 loved this comment
Hahaahahahah that was a golden comment. If it was Reddit, you would have a lot of awards
Its almost as if this whole thing didn't change the fact that he's still a murderer.
Right but that isn’t the point. This is a first in kind case and is extremely important.
She gave her legal opinion on that.. she said there are issues that are not before her AND in her review of the records (she read the whole transcript) the evidence is overwhelming & the jurors would have come to that conclusion. Legal opinions are important because any future judge would read them before their ruling.
@carsondenny1986 I agree, the comment was more towards the people who thought this was suddenly gonna make him innocent.
True
Denial doesn't make a person innocent
I so happy this judge saw through the b.s. and stood by the conviction 😊
He got his little day out of prison. Back into the hole
Lmfao
Lmfaoooo 😂😂 thank you for this
Made my day when you put it like this
He's not in the hole
Ya, but that's not the kind of hole I want to be in. no thank you.
Thank God, justice has prevailed... I am in awe of the judge.
This judgement fries Murdaugh's grits. She's a civil servant and she has so much power over him, a former multimillionaire law firm attorney.
Fries his grits😂 I’m stealing that
I'm glad u cleared that up ("She")- I wasn't sure. Thanks
I spent this entire video trying to figure out if the judge was a man or woman. Looks like a woman, but the voice had me all confused. The name didn't help any either.
@@jmaples8226yeah same lol..
What is it?? 😮
He really does think the he should be able to walk free after killing his wife and child!
no he is not free to walk hes in prison for financial crimes 27 year
He may do, but what matters is that he has the right to a fair trial and he may not have received one. It doesn't matter how despicable a person you or I may think he is, that right is fundamental and must be protected. That was the purpose of this proceeding.
It is because he got away with every thing until he killed his ice and son.
So you know what he thinks. Do you know what I'm thinking?
@@thomasdalton1508exactly
Here's a thought...don't want to be in jail..don't kill your Family.
Very smart Judge. She saw right through his game.
Wasn’t till i read your comment!
Learn something new everyday!
She?
@@FestiveParrot i had to go back. Flew right over my head.
Kudos to this judge for not being conned by Alex 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
💯
I think if there was more doubt about his guilt this might have got through
Or his attorneys. I can't help but feel they would do anything to get a "do over" & try to more tightly control the court proceedings.
Conned? She found that the clerk did what was alleged. He didn't make the stuff up. It will get reversed on appeal.
@@rizzomatt lol no it won't
This judge is quick, fair and common sense. Need more like her.
I thought it was a man..
@@charsiu_808nobody cares except you
@@charsiu_808 Judge Jean Hoefer Toal is a woman.
@@charsiu_808 So did I.
@@kyleanderson2949 cares? Not about caring. It's about thinking it's a dude. Which I thought as well.
This judge 👩⚖️ is so knowledgeable and spot on!
Ty for the emoji lol
And thorough.
The judge 👩⚖️ said. "We understand your flimsy premise for an appeal, but we're standing on business. 🤣🤣
Between the trial and now, the evidentiary hearing Judge Newman & Toal will not only go down in history as the best, most well respected judges with a sense of humor, but the witnesses have been hilarious. 😂 The victims got Justice yet again today!
I love Judge Newman! One of his BEST trials I have watched of his was Samantha Josephson, the rise share murder! RIH
@@jessicabreen2961 she’s a girl I thought
No messing with this judge..she can't be bought🎉..well done.
She can't be intimidated neither...been round the block too many times.
It's a He
@enginethatcou😄🤣ld5257 😁🤣😄
@@enginethatcould5257 oops lol
@@ChaCha-lt8rx No, she’s female. 🙄 You were right the first time; ignore the troll.
She is a great lady judge & gave her thoughts & evaluation. She is a mother & grandmother & great woman in law!
A great judge doesnt rule based on being a mother. Judges are to be impartial.
Jean Toal would resent this comment as a back-handed compliment in my opinion. She shattered the glass ceiling in SC only for you to refer to her as a “lady judge.” She’s earned her praise to be free of qualifications based on her gender. Just say she’s a great judge! And, unless you refer to male judges as fathers and grandfathers when praising their rulings as well, why is her status as a mother and grandmother relevant or notable here?
“…arrracted by the siren call of Celebrity…” OMG, I love this judge!
Yes but she made the wrong decision
@workingonmyroar7944
I agree with you on that.
This judge was lazy and just passed the buck to someone else. The court made the mistake, and they should fix it. This judge obviously didn't want to make an unpopular decision. She failed her duty.
She’s been paid good
@@ninguno141
By who..... You? LOL
I watched the hearing and have to agree with Justice Toal. She is no nonsense, brilliant Justice, truly a treasure.
Correct ruling, however, Becky needs to be fired forthright !!!!
The judge is a woman. 🥴
Clerk of Court is elected position. BH is up for re election in November 2024.
There doesn’t seem to be anything in SC law to remove an elected official at county level from office.
I can't believe she still has her job.
@@North_West1is she probably not running and even if she did, I can't imagine she gets reelected unless she is running unopposed
Could not agree more with this statement!
Excellent call by Judge Toal. Wise judge who knows her stuff!
I couldn’t tell if they were male or female
Thaats. A man 😅
@@dejavually baby
@@eloisecromwell4201RIGHT!!! I was trying to figure that out myself and I’m from California, where we conservatives are oftentimes visually challenged in determining gender of some of our local residents.
@@dejavually😅😂🤣
As unethical the Clerk’s actions, I agree with the judge.
I agree 100%. Hopefully, she lost her job and maybe was blocked from writing her book. Ill gotten gains.
@@annemccoy6524 the selling of the book has been discontinued, it's no longer available. She hasn't been removed from the job and unfortunately it looks like South Carolina doesn't have a process to recall elected officials. But I heard that there will be another election for those positions this year anyways.
They will vote her back in!
@@oneseeker2 they'd better not after the shenanigans she has caused with her busybody meddling... The people of that county don't want any more of their money going to the public funded court system cleaning up her messes that could have been so easily avoided if she had just done her job and not talked to the jury like she's supposed to. Imagine if this ordeal actually gets Murdaugh a re-trial on appeal, which is entirely possible! That's a whole new trial for someone everybody already knows to be guilty that takes 6 weeks worth of everyone's time, energy and money and it's exclusively Ms. Becky Boo's fault.
The judge is a class act.
Really she’s a man
This judge is a gem!
I think one of the biggest deciding factors was the affidavit stating pressured by jurors then in testimony she said she was persuaded by Becky's comments. Then, after getting back into the jury room she wants to come back out and change her testimony. Like the judge said......that isn't going to happen. I think that alone was the deciding factor in this decision. Go serve your rest of days in a cell Alex....where you belong !
This !!!...
juror z is probably a prison pen pal with ole alec
I want to see a documentary about this Justice’s career path. Justice T accomplished so much professionally in a system not easy for a female lawyer especially when she was a young lawyer.
Me too!!
Same!
She’s a retired SC Supreme Court chief Justice. The first female chief justice for the state.
Especially in the south where they hate women.
I agree I would love to watch a story on her career
What a JUDGE❤💪... South Carolina is BLESSED to have such a brilliant JURIST 🇺🇸
The smirk on his face! Go away Alex.. the Judge was to the point and let him know that the evidence pointed directly back to him.
The smirk of a sociopath.
That smirk!!! Scary person to mess with
@@geomodelrailroaderhe didn’t get the death penalty
He is a murderer. A liar. A thief. Makes everything about him and his bs image. His attorneys know he committed murder. It was about their ego and about the fact they lost and stink.
Murdered his own wayward... killer son.... boat crash.... and his WIFE! Caught out by a mobile phone! May the souls of his wife and son rest in peace
Harpoot in particular is washed up. I can’t even imagine how many crooked dealings that walrus has engaged in both personally and professionally.
@@kyleanderson2949 "Walrus"😂🤣😂
This female judge is a no-holds bar kind of judge. Quite intelligent and does not mess around.
I thought this Judge was a male. LOL.
Same 😂 @@Mr2004MCSS
Wait what.. I thought thats a dude
An 80-year old female judge named jean toal @@imjonnyd
@@imjonnyd yup, same....
Intelligent, fair and good Judge. Thank you God for Judge Toal. May God bless you Judge❤
This judge is very knowledgeable on the law and seemed very fair to me. I can’t believe people are making so many rude comments about her looks,voice or anything else. That’s just rude evidently you were more concerned about her appearance than her professionalism
Just a bunch of regressive homophobes.
I agree! She was SC Supreme Court Chief Justice for 20 years! Very knowledgeable and well respected.
I absolutely agree...on everything. Sometimes it seems to me that morals and values don't exist anymore.
That's because disrespect, ignorance, primitivity and misogyny are still so prevalent in a certain segment of the society. A strong, experienced and competent woman in a position of power still terrifies weak people.
@@gaiagreen2690, SPOT ON!!! Ain’t that the TRUTH!!! Brilliantly written comment!!! Brava!!! 👏🏻
This is the correct verdict! But I’m not sure that Becky Hill should keep her job after this!
@lesleywatkins1172
I think she should be prosecuted.
She shouldn't keep her job and they need to retry it due to her witness tampering
I’d say she most definitely won’t and her reputation is in tatters.
@@hexthepatriarchy... Did you hear the ruling? No new trial!
@@therose5783😊👍👍👍
Justice! Love this Judge. Alex tried his best to beat the system again and lost. Enjoy showering Alex. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Alex's face gets more red as the judge continues her rendering. Guilty. Anyone who says not, should read the transcript and watch the entire trial. He was there at the kennels when the murdered victims cell phones go silent forever.
His face was a picture 😂..the smugness soon wore off 😂
Is this judge male or female? Seems to be confusion. With me also. Edit: never mind. I get it now.
@@ChaCha-lt8rxCame here just to see his face 😂
Yesssss
BRAVO!!! 💜👏💜👏💜
I wonder if Becky Hill will be brought up on any charges, or lose her job.... I believe she doesn't deserve to keep her position in that court!
12:24 I appreciate the judge pretty much endorsing the jury's verdict. In so many words, she said, "I second that".
*she
The judge is a woman, not a he.
@@Kaitlin_Elyse missed the “s”. Thank you.
Whoa that final smirk on Alex’s face! 😮 He didn’t like that ruling!! Imagine what he was thinking!
Judge Newman was right, there is nothing there. He couldn’t see any good in him.
He was smiling when he stood up to be taken back to prison 🤷♀️🤷♀️I don’t get it.
I noticed his smirk also! So strange!
@@bz3548 condescending smile, save face smile, you b**** smile….! 🤨
He’s dangerous…his eyes are blacker than ever.
Bravo Judge !!!
Yes, bravo for failing our legal system. It's amazing how the irrational the masses think. We don't need an honest legal system as long as your emotional needs are satisfied.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Moving forward, no movies, no books, etc. Lock that ability for 100 years after each case. No further issues.
What about books written before a case is brought? Sorry I didn’t mean to stump you 🤣
Frivolous attempt to get a new trial. Judge is right ! 💯🇺🇸
It certainly isn’t frivolous. Her behavior is extremely troubling and the first case in South Carolina history.
@@carsondenny1986agreed. One juror said her decision was swayed by the Clerks comments. The judges rational that said juror was “wishy washy” doesn’t discount the fact that the law was broken and it’s more than reasonable to believe her decision in this case was swayed. He’s a scumbag, but this this sets a bad precedent.
Hardly frivolous. The judge agreed with the defence on the facts and just disagreed on what the right legal test was. That question will, as she said, ultimately be determined at the appellate level. The defence got what they needed from this judge - a finding of fact that the clerk did make inappropriate comments to the jury. How this judge ruled on the legal question is pretty much irrelevant, since it was always going to be appealed whichever way she ruled on it.
Definitely not frivolous.
It really wasn’t. Many appeals are, but usually those appeals don’t involve significant misconduct from a court clerk. This was certainly headed down the path to become a mistrial, but of course did not go far enough. It was definitely on it’s way there though. So frivolous? No, I disagree. Everyone deserves a fair trial and this is why we have this system in place to make sure that is happening.
It appears Alex Murdaugh finds this hearing amusing as he sits smurking at the judge. If I was trying to prove my innocence, I certainly would not be conducting myself in this manner.
Well done Judge. Nothing Ms. Hill said could possibly change the overwhelming evidence. The jurors kept their oath.
Great verdict from this judge. She is right that the clerk seeked fame and money from her book. But the guilty verdict must stand due to the fact he killed his family and stole money. The jury did the right decision
Absolutely!!!!
@608pinkgirl .
You got that wrong!!! This judges decision was based on if Becky influenced the overall jury decision and with 11 jurors saying NO and the last 1 lying today, that was easy decision!!!
and Alex’s corrupt lawyers got embarrassed again right out of there! Today’s decision had nothing to do with original verdict except only if it was coerced!! Had nothing to do with Alex guilt or innocence at all! You missed the whole point of this hearing! 🤣 🤦♀️
@@Juke582 Break down for me how it’s an “easy decision.”
Last I checked a murder conviction requires a unanimous verdict. Your claiming one of the jurors lied, please explain the information your basing that on? Oh you got none? You deserve a 🤡, actually two of them🤡🤡.
A thoroughly thought out and well reasoned decision. It should stand up quite easily on appeal.
Correct ruling. It doesn’t look for Becky hill having the judge call her not credible.
And the whole time who it really didn’t look good for was ALEX👍👍😂🤣
Alex M. had his case & now request for a new trial heard by the Best Judges in SC. Nothing but Love & Respect for Judge Newman & Judge Toal! 💜
Disappointed with the ruling. The Court of Appeal will fix this.
What a brilliant Judge. It’s as if she was there at the trial and heard it all. Wow. I think her decision is spot on. No doubt the clerks words were so small as it compares to the overwhelming evidence presented in the case.
Good decision.
I would never of guessed she is 80 years old! 😯 Good for her 👍
I wouldn't have guessed that was a woman
Kinda reminds me of Senator Kennedy.
@@Tank.Savage I googled him as I’m British. But yeah could be her brother! 😂
He’s grasping at straws. He has all those other charges, he will never get out! He shouldn’t.
Great judge. Thank you !alex hatred for this judge is clear in his death stare ..
He look at everybody like that..
What a lady!!! Professional, knowledgeable, experienced, no nonsense, fair 👌🏻
Sound decision for sure.
GREAT decision Judge Toal!
Oh dear, poor Alex. LOL!
😅😅😅😂😂🤭 boohoo Suckker ..
🤭🤭🤭🤭 ...
Great judge
Good job Judge!!!!!! 👩🏻⚖️
This judge made the defense feel and think they were winning in the way she conducted the trial to reading the judgment until the last minute when she said she was denying the motion for a new trial.
She really did !
Amazing judge. I work as a court interpreter and at the end a long day. I watch court videos. This judge was fair and thorough.
OMG, The sociopath smirk from AM, is horrifying to watch. Evil.
We need more judges as this.she is very experinced in case law.she got it right
She? That judge is a lady?
@@brettpoe3069 Yes.
Chief Justice Toal is married to her law school classmate, William T. Toal, of Johnson. They have two daughters one is a Yale graduate and the other graduated from Stanford University. Amazing ladies
Yes he did
I wonder how much those testimonies cost Alex 🤔 And who actually paid for them.
They are doing it Free Bono
Yup. Guessing some of the missing money was spent on all this
Indeed...
Hmmmm 🧐
I wondered, too.
My favorite Judge of all time! 👏
What a well spoken judge! She got it right!
What a fantastic, well thought out judgement. Good work Judge Toal.
Wonder how much this effort in futility cost Murdaugh in his legal fees from Griffin and the Pootinator?
Put those cuffs back on, Alec! I never imagined judge would give her personal opinion here that the evidence was overwhelming and the verdict was correct!
The judge is Jean H. Toal, not Teal.
Ambiguous name for someone with ambiguous sexuality. What is his birth name? This is a judge ffs
Well done Judge..firm and blunt..liked it
Fascinating! Now on to the appellate court.
Good decision by an honest judge. Thank you Sir.
It’s a woman (sir?)
The judge is female
Read the name. She's a woman with short hair and a deep voice. Sheesh.
What if the judge ruled othetwise? Would you suddenly call her not honest? Honestly the statement you just made is wild and disrespectfull to the law and judge.
@@dragonzodiac78That voice tho lol
I wonder how much that juror was paid
Becky Hill's behavior was deplorable.
Alex behavior was worse though ..
@@frisbeeshawn5356 Oh, definitely. Glad he didn't get his retrial.
So was Alex's
What A Brilliant Judge!! Wish They Where ALL Like This!!! “-NO WOKE B.S GOING ON HERE!!!”-
How is Murdaugh smirking. Unbelievable
Very Good Judge
imagine being held accountable for your actions.😐
The look on his face …. Priceless
If you could only clone this judge (and Judge Newman) and get them into our local court and county court systems. THIS is what the very definition of judicial temperament is all about!
Such a respectful fair timely Judge I did enjoy watching her work on this case.
The hail mary didn't work.😅😅😅😅😅
Well said. God bless you
Justice for Maggie and PawPaw!
Kudos Judge Toal- mad respect.
Bravo Justice Toal & His Hon. Clifton Newman & Sir Creighton Waters.
14:25 when you know that your life of influence and privilege are toast
Amazing judge!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great news. RIP Mother and son.
What an amazing and intellectually capable judge. With all she has seen in her life experience, to still be so precisionally professional is beyond me. Nothing but respect
Well Said .❤❤❤❤❤❤ RIP Miss Maggie and Paul. ❤
He looks like a Spider-Man villian
Harpootian’s method of attack was nothing short of a disgrace.He was continually brought into line by the judge for his unrelated comments about the clerk.The Judge reminded Harpootlian over and over regarding these comments and I believe made it harder for his client.
Yes miss Hill was wrong and she no doubt be held accountable for her actions.
Murdaugh’s contemptuous grin was disgraceful.
Time for Mr Harpootlian to retire.
thank you judge!!!!
YES 🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you Judge 💯💯
Murdaugh's face at the start - he really thought it was going to go his way
I read that the Judge is 80 years old. Good for her.
He will rot in prison
He will appeal to a higher court. Murdock will continue to cry.
He will appeal to a high court and most likely be granted a new trial.
@@chelsea3564 lol lol ok
Amen
That’s exactly what I said when he first brought this motion. “Being pressured is a normal procedure of any jury deliberations”
Incredible judge 👏👏👏
