He’s murdering me with that lip smacking
Same
It was killing me!!!!!!!
Intolerable...
Uggghhh yes
Lip smacking can be related to withdrawl
This man has been lying his whole life it’s as natural as lying can get.
Even if I planned and carried out something so heinous I would absolutely fall apart under this kind of pressure.
Being interrogated, the media scrutiny a massive court case.... I'd confess to crimes I didn't commit to make it all stop. He just keeps on lying like it's nothing.
Just like that woman in Florida that “didnt” kill her daughter sick heartless people man… the Anthony’s
Pathological liar
What a shocking family this is ……Like a Rot that runs through them..
I mean he walked around from room to room, with his law patrol badge hanging out of his pocket, badgering each of those kids in the boat…He tries to pin the driving on a young man named Conner, so I firmly believe he even caused the death of his housekeeper…because no one can fall down stairs with such force and never wake up, and then he suggests filing a wrongful death suit, and he makes sure to keep all of the money.,,This man is pure evil. And no one can convince me someone was waiting and when Alec left the kennel at 8:44, someone killed Paul and Maggie in the 6 minutes between then and when their phones died…And Alec wouldn’t have ever told anyone he was at the kennel if that video didn’t turn up.
I probably watched this video over 15 times and the more I watch it the more I'm confident the jury made the right decision
Learning about who he was as a person, I don't know if I've encountered or witnessed a person who was such a PERFECT fit for prison... the boys will have fun with him in prison!!! Would you consider him a narcissist,too? ...
Me too. I find something different almost every time I watch it. Something I didn't catch before. He's guilty.
So you watched it 15 times 🤥 15x3=45 hours 😂
@@antoniovazquez2800 it's crazy BUT it true lol
He has to think hard to answer questions so he is lying..
As he shakes his head “YES”, he denies shooting his wife and youngest son! 😢
Yes, I saw that. He really did kill them. He will never admit it.
"So you've waited TWO YEARS to tell us the real story about the kennels" ?
Convenient, huh? 😏
Yeah, once a video of him at the kennels appeared and proved it 🙄
So he blames his lying on bouts of anxiety from his addiction, but conveniently his addiction has stopped him from telling the truth for the passed 2 years.
Yep. Had he known before he shot them that Paul had shot the video minutes before - which ultimately proved he was there- he would have delayed the killing-Obviously. How awesome was that for Paul to have video evidence to prove he was there minutes before the killing. Alex wasn't counting on that little glitch in the story line.
@@eileenahearn8066 It would've been awesome if Alex *had* noticed that a video-audio was being taken. He'd have possibly changed his mind for good. The horror of this story is that Alex considered two people he loved, lived with and interacted with, individually expendable to some "other *imagined* reality." I mean, was his mind actually thinking that if he wasn't caught that he and Buster could possibly have still enjoyed a thriving life somehow? Had he no thoughts of what this would do to Buster? The whole thing is still just too unbelievable that Alex, himself did this. I mean, they were all close knit, there's no doubt of that. I for one, even two years later cannot buy the very simplified "theory of the case" or prosecutors - that he did it for sympathy - to make lawsuits go away.
Defense attorney: “Mr. Murdaugh. Why did you lie?”
AM: “Because I didn’t know my son had captured my voice on a Snapchat video, and now I have to backtrack BIG TIME.”
do you thank they well get him to admit it i mean the state
Wow he said that I did not hear that part. I just want him to go to prison so bad
😂😂😂😂 for real that sums it up I can’t believe people buy this acting man his so guilty I know one dummy gonna say not guilty though 12 people one gonna buy his bull crap it’s a cold world
He’s biting on an object in his mouth that disperses something to induce tears. After talking about nieces baby he forgets to hide it. You see him roll it in his mouth and bite down then push it into his cheek. I knew he couldn’t be forcing out fake tears on his own. His psychopathy is so severe he can’t fake tears or he would have had a single tear in front of cops nut didn’t.
@@chelseacraft4669 Does such a thing really exist?
I have noticed the oddest mouth movements during the trial. Could that be what that is about?
My woman's intuition tells me that Maggie was afraid of Alex, and she wouldn't have been there alone with him. She thought she would be safe if Paul was there. She knew what was coming when it happened, and with her last thought and breath she ran to her son. RIP, Maggie and Paul. So very sad.
Maggie was as much of a POS as her husband and her sons.
What, aside from your intuition, makes you think Maggie was scared of Alex?
There weren't any allegations of abuse or other physical aggression from Alex, were there?
THIS IS SO SAD. RIP MAGGIE AND PAUL. LISTEN TO THIS OVERSIZED BOY.
Agreed. This whole case is very sad. I hope that Alex will repent of his actions before God.
P
That part where he’s answering no but his head is saying yes ! goosebumps
Exactly! ❤
@@HopefulInterventions what time was that at? i'd like to go watch it again.
The part in the trial when he first heard the kennel recording, nodding his head yes.. and just how he acted during that part.. and him turning from ghost white to beer red told me all I needed to know right then and there. Made me sick to my stomach
Another sign of lying is focusing on unimportant small details while relaying a story. He obviously practiced his performance since he wanted so badly to take the stand. Narcissists also love to testify as a control tactic
Paulette Campbell! You are so correct! Oh, and when I re-watched a certain place in his testimony, I noticed a ridiculous fake spaz attack in wiping away fake snot and tears. That convinced me, and the over-explaining! Bad Actor in every sense.
The fake spaz attack of wiping was such bad acting. The dry as a bone tissue should be entered into evidence. He did muster a few tears, just like an actor can do. The way he can quickly flip from pretend crying and distress to talking in a normal tone and cadence is another tell tell sign.
@@juliepeterson6639 Spot on !!!! He enjoyed murdering his family bc they were standing between him and his wealth. The only thing he ever worshipped. Shallow animal.
He shoulda practiced harder 😆. He is all over changing the story up about the kennels and trying to make the info fit his 1st lies. Heck my 5 yo grandson can focus a lie better that than this grown arse lawyer. He knows too if he tries hes gonna get a butt smack and a bar of soap and the Mimi look. This Alex been lying his whole life and getting away with it....sadly by ppl who know he lies and they choose to ignore him.
Agreed! I was thinking the same thing as well. Hes just so confident He can testify and out smart the state.
Using endearing names for his wife and son such as Papa and maggs is a strategy he is using to pretend he love them and was close to them. Ridiculous manipulation ❤
I absolutely agree.
Yes it actually does make me physically sick to my stomach to listen to him. I've still not wrapped my mind around Chris Watts killing his two girls and no one saw that coming. I hope I never do understand how their minds work bc only a mind like theirs can fathom the hows and whys.
He doesn't sound natural when he says papa or maggs either.
Ttue
@@juliecrane9647 These men are family annihilators. Alex has lost control and can't handle it. Everything was falling apart financially plus the stealing and lying was all coming out. I think he killed the women who worked for them too. Alex never planned on giving her family any money. He told her family to sue him and he'd make sure they got a good deal of money. They did but Alex kept it all. Then things got worse and he needed more money. He handled it by killing his wife and Paul. If Buster was in the trouble Paul was in he'd be gone too. Chris Watts is a special kind of F--- ed up. Killing his baby girls and putting them in oil tanks!
Guilty people always seem to surround their crime event with real facts to make themselves feel better. It’s also so interesting how he gets choked up at the right times but recovers within seconds.
The first questions asking did he kill them he nods his head as in yes but says no. Body language didn't lie there
@@bassface8580totally agree and if u have watched a clip from busters interview (not the trial video but outside interview) when he is asked questions he does the same thing nods his head yes and then denies everything.
@@MeechNChongX slimy bastards the lot of them. Alex is the worst and deserves the rest of his life rotting in jail. A Master Liar and manipulater. He never shed one tear for murdering his wife and kid. What does that say about the mind of this psycho. He tried to cry at the scene and interrogation but he knew what happened. He did it. This is an act and a good one. He seems at first glance to be a sweet old man who loved his family and they were taken from him but no.. he did it make no mistake
@@MeechNChongX Alex did the same thing at the final SLED interview when asked if he killed Maggie & then if he killed Paul. Alex denies it, but his head nods in a yes gesture. The footage is a bit grainy, but you can still see his movements just fine.
He dabs at his eyes and let’s his snot drip down his face without wiping. Every move and word out of his mouth is calculated to elicit sympathy. But then he turns on a dime to argue with the prosecutor. He is disgusting.
there has been zero video proof.
He knows the law Things and how he must act
@@dbrand1
Zero video proof of what.
@@dbrand1
Are you saying that in order for someone to be convicted of crimes, we must have 100% video proof?
Emotions don't change on a dime like he does on the stand.
Saying no, I did not when asked if he shot his wife and son, notice he is nodding yes while saying no.That is one of the CLEAR signs of deceit. This man is, without a doubt, guilty of these crimes.
It's not that clear cut. It would depend on your baseline behaviors. Some people just do that. But I definitely took note of that action.
Do you have a time stamp?
@@staybeautiful305 First few questions, right at the beginning.
Came here to say this
Idk Bout that a lot of people nod no and MEAN Yes and nod yes and mean no it's got to be out of the baseline. So watch to see if when he says no about things you KNOW he didn't do if he shakes his head yes. Then you'll know if it's off.
Buster shows absolutely no emotion in the entire trial.
100% Correct!!! That’s been preoccupying me…he shows no emotion AT ALL…his voice doesn’t even break a little during his testimony…BUSTER IS VERY ODD, at least AM cries, but Buster doesn’t even flinch when images of his dead mother’s bullet ridden body are shown. His girlfriend is a little odd looking too….👍
@@lindsayclark6453 he's a psycho like his dad
He's probably numb.
Grief can do strange things to people, like throwing them into denial altogether for a period of time after the initial loss.
@@lindsayclark6453absolutely agree. There is distancing yourself from emotion yet having natural emotions vs having none at all bc you don’t care.
Who are you people for real to say Buster wasn't crying enough in front of you all or upset enough . Are you f kidding me Alex crying plenty of times you same exact people claim he faking give me f break . B's light minded people like you people why Alex didn't even get fair trial I still say he didn't kill he's wife or son I think he was setup
Alex would have been better off getting a public defender. His lawyers are embarrassing af.
They are the top Defense lawyers in the state. Look what they had to work with after that kennel video came out
It was sooooo chilling when he said the person who killed Paul really hated him. I think he loved Paul until the boat wreck. Then he was done with him. Paul’s being sued lead to Alex’s financial records and misdeeds coming to light. Alex was pissed about all that.
Exactly.
I agree 💯. And he blamed Maggie for posting numerous pictures of the family drinking alcohol and most of them included Paul. Plus amaggie wanted to settle the boat case.
Oh now y wood he b sued?
@user-yq7lw9nn6d
His murdered son Paul got into a drunken boat accident while he was driving the boat that resulted in the death of one of the passengers.
The dead passenger's family was suing AM, which would've brought all his illegal schemes/fraud regarding his legal clients to light.
Ostensibly, AM tried to avoid that by killing Paul (and his wife, Maggie).
Boy, you really nailed it. That's exactly what happened. Usually, we just get frustrated and try to do the best we can with what we have, but he took it to the extreme.
”Did you shoot Maggie and Paul?” ”No, I did not” and the same time nods yes…..
What are you, a member of the body language behavior panel?
Nodding yes while saying no is irrelevant. Murdaugh is innocent.
Thought the same thing !
He nods alot anyway though 🤦
That, plus he didn’t say “No I did not…”. He said I would never hurt Maggie or Paul. He evaded answering the question.
Good catch
He recovers after pretend crying the quickest ive ever seen anyone! Lol good acting performance
When he denies shooting Maggie and Paul, aka Mags and Papa, he shakes his head yes while saying no.
Omggggg I saw it!!!!!!
Wow
He doesn't actually deny shooting them, but instead says, "I would never do anything to intentionally hurt them." It's a type of minimalization that is pretty normal for someone lying.
@@brendakauffman2222 I agree. When someone says “I would never, blah blah blah“, what they’re really saying is “this is what you are to believe of me.“.
and notice he said he would never INTENTIONALLY hurt Mags or Pau Pau.. Him calling his son that pet name literally made me throw up... He was so guilty, even a deaf blind person could tell.
Weirdest thing to me is when he’s talking about turning over Paul and seeing his brains and all that….he’s “crying” with absolutely no tears then 15 seconds later he’s back to normal again lol
He trying hold back he's tears even Maggie sister did the same thing ,he's brother did same thing buster didn't cry at all
He’s not sorry to anyone. A psychopath isn’t capable of feeling. He only knows how he’s supposed to feel sorry. Those people he ‘cares’ for while he steals their income and now quite literally, shoots them in the back.
A thief and a liar is always a murderer.
He has been teaching that to his clients for years and years. I'm sure he prepared them for the jurors so he knows how he is suppose to act it's his profession.
Excellent point
Psychopaths can feel for THEMSELVES - they lack empathy to feel for others - so they can feel angry or sad or happy for THEMSELVES
Not a psychopath a Sociopath
He’s a good lawyer. Watch him guide his own lawyer through this. He knows how to bs people and that’s exactly what he’s doing
Yes indeed,
He's a Sorry lawyer stealing like he did.
@@operationmockingbird216 wow. Facts.
I don't think he's a very good lawyer, just grandfathered in, his son also got kicked out of law school bc he was cheating. When the boat accident occurred Paul called grandaddy not his dad, that's pretty telling
But a stupid criminal. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He's an idiot. The snap chat video is enough for conviction because they didn't shoot themselves.
"Did you shoot your wife?"
"No, I did not!" *Nodding vigorously*
I noticed that
i’m glad someone else noticed this too. such conflicting body language.
He nods his head a lot during all kinds of testimony. So, for him, this doesn't seem to be a subconscious "tell", but rather a nervous habit.
He’s a highly experienced lawyer, how could he make such a blatant rookie mistake? The only explanation is that he did it.
Such a liar what an evil selfish person
His “CRYING” didn’t move me . Matter of fact … it only made me more convinced he was guilty because he’s switch from sad to being fine within two secs. Crazy how emotions can change .
The same way he was devastated at Moselle that night and then turned and said, "Hi, how are ya?" to the LEO.
@@thenightporterOh my goodness yes, that was chilling! One of those things I keep going back to because I almost couldn't believe he said that, like an afternoon exchange with a neighbor while taking out the trash cans except Alex was standing feet away from his murdered wife and son....so strange.
@@thenightporterhis “devastated” mask slipped in that moment back to the normal day to day mask he wears. He fakes all human emotions and protocols. He mimics what he thinks he should do. There are so many ppl like him walking among us too. Quite scary.
Yes exactly! That stopped me dead in my tracks I had to rewind it over and over. So CHILLING
A guilty tell is when they say “ no, I did not” while simultaneously knodding in the affirmative as if to say “yes” instead of shaking their heads “no”. I’ve seen this so many times when watching these court appearances.
@ liz Salazar I was just thinking of Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinsky interview where he was nodding yes when saying no, as I was reading your comment. Guilty as hell!
...and he's quite the head shaker. His lawyers probably should have had him worked a little more on head shaking 🙄
It takes a combination of at least 3 body language signs of deception to consider what he was saying at the time he said "no" while nodding (up and down) "yes", to be considered a lie.
Nodding his head tongue thrust mouth movements are also a sign of Parkinson’s. Also his central nervous system could be jacked up bc of all the drugs
Correction: These are signs of deception from the body that MIGHT mean someone is with holding information or lying.
“Don’t talk to anyone without your lawyer” does not translate to “lie to authorities” at the scene of a crime.
Invoke your rights - innocent or guilty - and don’t lie. This man is a lawyer and thought his lies would be believed because of who he is.
You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Excellent comment and point. Don't talk to anyone without a lawyer doesn't mean lie. Why would they tell him that even??? I bet they didn't even say that. Ask him which ones said that. I bet they will say check no I didn't tell him that. Why would he need a lawyer when finding his wife and son deceased??? He shouldn't need a lawyer to describe his findings of his deceased family members. He obviously had some help on this to dispose of weapons and not have gun residue on himself. Either way he's gone for life for stealing from all the deceased and injured.
@@SRHisnum1 Can anyone please explain what happened w/Maggie's phone? Was it taken from the scene of the crime & later found somewhere else? Thank you.
Always invoke your rights
@@isabellind1292 I believe found along road thrown out by "one of the controlled" ...
The fact that he keeps his dogs locked in kennels tells me all I need to know about him
To be fair they were hunting dogs, not really household family pets, most people do keep their hunting dogs outside in big kennels most of the time and from what they showed on the Netflix doc it was just a big fenced in horse stable p much, plenty of room and shelter for them to be comfortable
They’re hunting dongs. Not family pets.
@@samsnothavingit2788 not comfortable. Heartless, concrete floor.. ugly as hell. Hunting dogs don’t like such cruel place either.
@@laurensvibe8464 AHA, ok..that’s why them deserve a cold, ugly, and heartless home ? Hunting dogs ? What poor accusation
Exactly!! Dogs are dogs whether they hunt or not; they are pack animals. They yearn to be w a pack or family. It’s cruel to separate them into little isolation cells, just cruel!
His body is saying yes and his mind is saying no
If he can rip off his clients that were friends of his one a Quadrapleadic now and a girl who lost her mother and all the others while he was living a life of luxury then he definitely MURDERED HIS FAMILY
I'm not saying he isn't guilty, but I think I could rip off people and not be capable of killing my family.
Gina pafitis. He killed them for the love of money all of his family are gold diggers.
He also used prosititues one of whom has come forward LINDSAY EDWARDS who says he beat and choked her --- interview on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/XYQH7rmgZCQ/v-deo.html
he can never just answer the question directly. he has to give the back story and full explanation for his answer. Just answer the question!
A sure sign that he is lying. It’s disgusting.
My dad does this!!! 😂😂 it’s infuriating
@@heartmountain1696 no not necessarily my dad does this and he’s not a liar or a nasty man
Gives him time to lie
Why does he just sit there nodding like a dang bobblehead!?!?! nodding while denying he killed them. Sickening
Truest words he said was "on June 7th I wasn't thinking clearly..... i dont think i was capable of reason"
THE CONFESSION AND APPOLOGY
This dude is only sorry he was caught..I feel no sympathy for him whatsoever, I feel he is a seasoned performer!!
I feel he's sorry for what happened or for what did, if he did it but the damage is already done..too late to feel sorry now
This man couldn't lie straight in bed
You guys are so good at what you do and so funny at the same time.
Brilliant coverage, thanks xx
Oh sure, he was at the kennels just minutes before his family was slaughtered but didn't see a thing, and the killers got lucky waiting in the woods to ambush Maggie and Paul with the family's own guns, then toss the lady's phone on the roadside right where Alex is driving by, the killers were geniuses.
He also didn't hear anything - aren't gun shots loud?
Done forget the dogs were also running loose and would've come to "deal with it" if a stranger had been killing M & P - also, who put the dogs back into the kennels?
Two 5’2 inch killers no less….junior ninjas on the loose? Maybe the same ones from the Jodi Arias Case?
if he was there- it should have been easy to prove, the problem is no one actually searched. How can you sentence someone to murder when law enforcement couldn't be bothered to search this man's house? Nothing was done. No search of his mothers. No concrete evidence found-nothing
@@sonia354 or it was the Black man. 😂 Just a lil humor.
I see No tears & lying comes as natural as breathing to this man smh 🤦🏻♀️. Hope the jury comes to the right verdict
You don't see the tears and snot dripping from his face? Not stating any opinion just commenting on what I saw.
I agree, hopefully they follow the judge's instructions closely, obey the letter of the law, and acquit.
Crying because he usbscared sh"^less
@@genekirby8568 I was thinking the same thing after reading that lol…nobody that has eyes can deny his many tears and snot…js
@@athenaabell4336 It's called Method Acting. Many Hollywood actors and on Broadway too have learned the technique and ppl pay money to see them perform. Have u ever had an addict in your life ?
Lying is very easy for them and even the most cynical find them believable.
Until everything is lost to them and still !!!!!.....Your love and hope aches for them to be telling you truths.
Alex still has a strong obcession for opioids and if freed he will be in the gutter within days. But hey maybe he won't take anyone with him. But he will. I hope u never find out the hard way. It's a journey many families never recover from.
So crazy how he’s nodding yes to every No answer he gives.
Proves he’s lying
Notice how he’s nodding his head yes while he’s saying no…
"Tell us about your relationship with Maggie." He proceeds to describe her as a person. Not responsive. Pure deception.
“A girl”
This man lied about taking the last cookie as a kid and never stopped! It’s sad how many people his lies have hurt
If someone is threatening your dearly son over and over, the first thing any parent will do is to make sure there is surveillance cameras around the house and dash cams in the cars. The fact he didn’t do any of this indicate that this guy has so many secrets and glad he got caught.
How about when the police show up you say "My mom is alone down the road get police there, and my son is in Charlotte. Someone is trying to kill us! Set up a roadblock" No didn't cross his mind because he was working his alibi from the very start.
@@ThenVersusNow_ Hope Alex knows drop and roll won't put the fire out where he's headed. He will never admit he premeditated their cold blooded murder. There will be less mercy shown him than he showed his family. And he did it for greed. Just greed !!!
Pathetic.
Good point , lack of cctv etc means you have stuff to hide .
@@juliecrane9647
Problem is hes keeping busy by helping everyone in jail.
He wants to be everyone friend .
He deserves to be isolated, not amongst people, to take his mind
..off the fact hes a family murderer.
@@ThenVersusNow_
Exactly ...agree with you 💯
Damn he is phony.... The way he says Paw Paw is too much for me it's like he's purposefully using that nickname to try to gain sympathy & it's grossly obvious to me
That's exactly what he was trying to do. Elicit sympathy from the jury. If he could portray himself as this loving dad, so close with his son "Paw-Paw" he couldn't possibly be the murderer! Phony AF.
And there are hours of interviews he gave to SLED and he never once called Paul - Paw Paw or Maggy - Mags
The way he can shift from grief to normalcy is not conducive with someone who’s truly overcome with grief. Grief lingers and takes time to transition out of.
Everyone grieves differently. There's no set way to grieve. Ppl who are grieving can literally be crying one minute and laughing the next
I haven’t seen him transition out of his grief. This man lost his wife, son and dad all in a week. I’m not convinced he’s guilty. I don’t think one can make snot fall as he did so professionally? Do you know anyone who can do that? I would imagine my nerves being shot and I can’t imagine being able to dial a phone number, or text or even think after walking up on dead people let alone it be family. Horrible events. Sad regardless of guilt or innocence. Mentally I think this man is a mess.
@@commercialaccount9501100%… when my husband’s brother died suddenly alone in his apartment at age 41 because he had a massive heart attack and lay there for days before their Dad found him….we had a 4 hour drive from where the funeral was to his burial and there were 7 of us packed into a suv… the whole drive up we were laughing telling stories about him…,sometimes deep grief makes you very emotional in several ways and our laughing telling stories was a part of releasing our grief…. I think folks read into things because so many are convinced he’s guilty…. I can’t stand the term “ duper’s delight” and people all say they see a defendant with duper’s delight ( not talking about this case specifically) when it isn’t…. But for the record I think this guy is 1000% guilty having discovered he’s on Paw paw’s video just minutes before the murders!
@@godsgrace5777curious if you still agree with this comment knowing he was caught on the phone’s video minutes before they were murdered?
Simply not true. You'll have to meet a lot more people who grieve. Some people who lose people simply feel numb. The thing is, (and it is weird) is that life, those little bitty moments of life, actually DO go on, just as they did one moment before someone loses someone. It is like you are caught b/w two worlds and you not only function in both of them, you also think in both of them. It is a very strange phenomenon. You not only can, but you often must shift in and out of them. It's plain weird and I say so from experience.
I love how he tries to act like he's trying to hold back from crying but he's really trying to think of how he should lie to sound believable
I know right! You notice how he replaced crying with this slow talking, lip smacking?? He makes me sick to my stomach in every way. And i guarantee you there will be one dim wit juror who will say "There is no way he would hurt a hair on sweet little Paw paws head" and not that he blew that little dudes brain right out is what he's really thinking. I believe he gave Paul a death sentence for Mallory and not for her but for ruining his life cause it was crumbling. And he didn't want to have to split half of whatever hidden money she knows he has put away or she would obviously know how good he was doing financially if they got a divorce.

It's pitiful. Terrible acted.
I HATE hearing him call Paul "Papa"; it's so childish. Calling Maggie, his dead wife, "Maggs" is also so insulting.
Me too! It’s like he was calling them by their nickname to show he “cared” about them.
I couldn't agree with you more. You hit the nail on the head with this one. 👏
How disrespectful and insulting!🤮 prison is to good for him.
@@TheLolly881 I think it was a defense strategy to show that he cared about them, as you said show he cared. But also to maybe show that he couldn't possibly have killed these two people he refers to with these cutesy nicknames. But it came off really repulsive.
Exactly! I agree. @@maureenbrown6697
Everything Alex does everyone claims he killed them or he's lying ..He didn't get a fair trial with open minded people . Rogon should of been investigated harder than Alex or at least same . Theri something up with this Rogon kid cops lying destroying evidence . Fact is how did sled team no hold back recording back three weeks in trial . But yet Rogon done went cops next day pointing he's finger at Alex . Rogon the one that seem to know all the answer . he pin pointing exactly where when he Paul sight gun in ..I think Paul friend stole them weapons I think Rogon involved or help plan this out . Rogon last one talk Paul knew exactly where Paul was . Why didn't cops want Maggie data deleted it . When that could prove Alex innocent
he was so close to them Buster didnt even know his dads birthday.
Buster is guilty as heck

Murdock is the correct pronunciation.
@@marshadavies8440 the correct pronunciation is " Murr- - Daa "
@@Snail.1 stupidly childish
I believe that if Alex Murdaugh was innocent of these murders, he would have been much more composed when giving testimony. There's something about knowing you're innocent that would lead you to be truly focused on presenting facts of the experience without whining and cringing. There perhaps would be anger at being accused and that would be evident in his demeanor. His childlike behaviour feels like an act to me, especially given his propensity for lying, and continually negotiating his way of of trouble until it all came to a head. This act is just pathetic.
his memory and his answers do not make any sense. he can recall such unique small details, but cant recall other major things that you think you would remember. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on September 11th... It is hard for me to imagine not being able to recall more details on the day my wife and son was shot and i was literally there minutes before it happened.
Agree! And it seems that the jury members agree about this too. The ones I've seen interviewed stated that they thought it was a mistake for him to take the stand.
But this was the way he "successfully" operated for such a long time, he thought he could convince them.
Not being composed and acting like he's crying, sobbing, wiping dry tears while manufacturing a few, but his emotions change on a dim, from sobbing to lucid. People's emotions in real life don't change on a dime like this.
So much lip smacking and whatever he keeps doing with his tongue, put it at .5 speed it’s even funnier 😂
Already building his defense at the crime scene, odd behavior for just finding your son and wife murdered
EXACTLY
I think I would be so hysterical, I may do and act all kinds of crazy ways though.
I'm not saying he is innocent, but he is an attorney.
TAKE NOTE ON THE "GUARD BIRD" Alex said they are going to make a lot of noise if somethings happening.. and clearly the bird was making noise the day of the murder...also Alex says he lied about going to the kennels that once he told the lie he had to keep telling it - soooooo that's enough for me to say he's lying about shooting Paul and Maggie.
Also when he said on tape... whoever did it had a lot of time and planned it long before. When he changes his story now, tells me he is changing his story as the evidence develops.
@@nippy2 excellent point!! He talking about himself in third person
They just letting him talk and talk. The more he talks the more you’re convinced he’s lying.
Even the first ten minutes of his talking do not add up. I can't put the dot on the i.
I believe he was exaggerating his show of grief. Most people become quietly emotional without scrounging their faces in a bizarre show.
Yes! He seemed to be hamming it up.
Kinda like Amber was with Johnny
Couldn’t agree more. The head bobbing & rocking back & forth, the lip smacking & alligator tears, all BS. He’s a horrible actor & has been caught lying more than a few times so far and the Stuff he blames on his addiction is total BS
I'm not convinced he did it. I think he was involved but I'm not convinced he did the deed. That friend of Paul says on that Netflix thing that Alex wasn't even there for Gloria's "fall" I kinda wonder if he did any of the acts or if he just helped cover it up. I don't trust any of em including buster.
Like someone named Heard? Her dog got stung by a bee you know.
❌ He is causing me STRESS - talking so much and saying absolutely nothing at all. He never URGED the cops to find the killers, nor to protect his other son, because all along he knew, that the killer was himself... ❌
And he stated, "Whoever killed Paul hated him and had been thinking about this a long time." How would he know that unless he did it?
I wonder if Buster really believes his father is innocent. 🤔
hell no
I think he questions it in his mind but he’s loyal to his dad or he’s in denial.
When your last name sounds like Murder..
He said he would never “intentionally” hurt his family???
Exactly and he also said he wasn't in his right frame of mind and that he wasn't thinking clearly. Then he says he's sorry to Maggie and Paul!
I caught that too!!!
@@denjack2542 I was thinking the same thing. Sounded like a hidden admission of something. 😢
Yeah..🤐🫣
It’s amazing how much he learned from the records
He was under the influence...it changes what you remember and how you behave
@@criteria9514 he’s had time to prepare for this, even if doesn’t remember everything, than at least have your answers prepared. He must have had to remember how to win millions of dollars for clients and how to steal from them. You can’t have selective memory
@@criteria9514 No excuse for murder though. I could drink until the room spun and i would still know atleast something of the night.
@@DeepCurve300 lol he does know something of the night, he just isn't recalling specific details
A heavy opiod addiction coupled with a culture of lying due to his career and covering up his addiction for DECADES most definitely gives him some plausible deniability
The sheriff's came up on him alex had a shotgun they saw dead bodies brains splattered n they never put handcuffs on him wow amazing low country at it's fineness
Paul's video solved the case and proved Alex was there. RIP Paul and Maggie.
I don't buy his addiction lie. First, I don't know any dealer that would accept personal checks. Second, the dealer lived extremely modest. Third, there is no way that one individual could consume the same amount of drugs as a rock band and still function, much less in such a slick and manipulating manner. And finally, he would not be able to keep his eyes open for most of the day. He was laundering money faster than a busy dry cleaner.
I thought this was supposed to be a short story of what you did on a particilar day. Instead we are hearing about dogs peeing on trees. Gosh he is just so down to earth! That is what he wants us to think. Gosh. I am just a simple good old boy...
Listening to this again ..my goodness..he talked and talked and talked. .same way he thought he thought apologising over and over for his misdeeds would clear him! So sickening
You are right he is a liar!!!
Yep and everyone was criticizing the DA for letting him ramble and ramble but it absolutely was the right thing because he buried himself!
I have been trying to figure out the eyes...sharks wow
He did it for YEARS and to the tune of millions of dollars stolen. If he ever contemplated feeling sorry, he would have stopped long ago and counted his blessing he got away with what he did. That never happened. What did happen was he got caught and for THAT he is sorry. Of that, I'm quite sure. You can't tell me he spent millions on primarily on pills and lived to tell the tale. That's just the cover story to hope the court will take some mercy on his addiction issue. Obviously, there was a lot more then a pill problem going on in that family.
He sounds like he’s eating peanut butter 😂
Lying is second nature to Alex. You can' t believe anything he says.
This is one of those trials where the defense never should have let their client take the stand. He tries so hard to appear affable, harmless and wistful, yet immediately, when his stories end, he glares with those telltale shark eyes at the jury and prosecution, not blinking. Very sociopathic.
Indeed those black eyes are chillingly demonic...OMG
Ya but the evidence of him being there the jury would have known about!
His mistake was lying and saying he wasn’t there!
@@rhondacranford5389 His mistake was doing the crimes...
In typical liars fashion, he answered almost every question by repeating the full question, giving himself more time to conjure up an answer, and in true narcissistic fashion he insisted on taking the stand himself believing that he could con us all into believing he was a loving husband and father. However his evilness came shining through. The best thing that happened was letting him on the stand. In my opinion he is a psychopath. It would not have been noticed much when he was growing up on a farm where he could kill animals big and small, where all the adults surrounding him killed living creatures for fun . A psychopaths dream. Then he grew up to be a snake oil salesman of a lawyer. Just listen to the phonecalls from jail he made to Buster and others . That also shows that he is not a nice person. Even from jail he was manipulating and bossing people to do what he wanted them to do. No loving words at all. He will get on well in jail.
I dont agree thst his eyes are sociopathic. Hes fair skinned with dark eyes that , therefore, stand out. I think he had a good heart to begin with , but something went wrong long ago and caused the use of oxycodone........the beginning of the end. Judging people is a horrible job. I think some people are happy to see a rich man suffer. I'm not saying he is innocent.. he stole money. He seemed to love his family. I think he was in a horrible position of his own inability to stop using drugs and needing money. All of that pressure was intolerable. Maybe he really didnt like his job . Maybe his dad and mom being so Ill was unbearable. Still, you work things out. You dont kill anyone.He looks like he was in anguish. I dont think a psychopath would be in anguish as he realized what hed done and he would never be able to change it back. Drugs and alcohol addiction or even just use/abuse, can cause people to become very mean. Paranoid. Irritable and abusive. I dont think any of this is funny. People are so easy to judge. Yes he was wrong if he did this. But, it's not funny and none of us are perfect. I just cant picture him killing maggie and Paul.
If you just listen. You can hear in his voice that he’s getting nervous. And tells these long winded stories to feel comfortable
does anyone else get really annoyed when he says "Paul Paul"???!!!
yes yes
It‘s crazy how his eyes are so dark and almost appear black. 🚨
My exact thoughts. It’s same as Buster’s. 😮
I see some chilling facial expressions when he forgets to act! The energy off him is dark and he’s coming across as fake, yet doing a good job of lying
Yes....im thinking he could be the next anti-Christ!!!! He is scary AF. Its so sickening how he even stole from all of the deceased and injured people and their loved ones much less covering up your kids murders or murdering your wife and child.
He's not doing a good job of lying he's a POS
Excellent points
hes so DARK! Alex used Hookers and at least one, LINDSAY EDWARDS has come forward that he beat and choked her almost to death! watch her interview on youtube ua-cam.com/video/XYQH7rmgZCQ/v-deo.html
💯
It’s strange that he only admitting lying about being on the scene after the tape was discovered .
Yep, paupa video and then his car ratted on him. He didn’t know about either of those two pieces of sinkers, I bet he sheet his pants more than once. I would’ve confessed immediately! Ok, u got me! I give up!
I feel like he’s talking in circles getting off the point to confuse the jury. “The jury is smart”
Exactly! He's had time to make up a story to fit the exposed video
@@tinawindham6958 that’s wonderful isn’t it!
@@bethpowell8680 The lawyer is lobbing up softballs to humanise him and come across as sympathetic as possible.
He went from this wealthy unrelatable monster in peoples minds to a man with a life and a family and a bunch of relatable problems.... none of it changes the fact that he murdered his family but all this narrative building did humanise him somewhat.
Somebody get him a damn drink
I saw the police body cam footage and he didn’t appear to have any blood on him (granted it was a little dark) but if he tried to feel for a pulse he would have had some blood on him
This testimony is so damming. He controls his emotions so well. He is also super hung up on tiny meaningless details.
I feel like those tiny details were given purposely to confuse people. He'll give long drawn out needless filler info til you forgot what detail you were looking for or even the question you asked.
they say the signs of a lie is too much detail
He rambles on about irrelevant details to avoid giving the prosecutor more time to ask hard questions.
He can stop repeating that PREPARED speech about him stealing money from his Clients. Oh my God so gulty. Yes Maggie had a sense about this so called husband. RIP MAGGIE AND PAUL. PEACE AT LAST. 4/28/23.
The way that he answers no yet continuously shakes his head yes everytime
I can't believe they let him keep explaining all these thing's
Yep distractions.
Bc he tells on himself
Lawyer buddies...🤥
I know, I was brutally sexually assaulted and as the VICTIM ont he stand I was NOT allowed to say more than ONE sentence at a time- I was cut off while speaking, cut off while crying in agony, but this heinous murderer is allowed to go on and on and on....
Right! I’m like why are they letting him say so much when all they ask is simple questions.
He dry snitched on himself by saying "I would never INTENTIONALLY hurt my wife and son".
I want so bad to believe he didn't do this, let alone to his son and wife. But he never sounds in fear of "whoever" did this to his family. Listen to his voice when he says he's going back to his house to get a gun...that's not the sound of a scared person. That coupled with everything else, and I don't see any way he is innocent. Everything he says and does is done with such cold calculation, from the painstaking way he answers questions to his flawless memory of the most mundane things...it's all by design.
My heart absolutely breaks for everyone involved, but Alec is as guilty as anyone I've heard about and is a reminder that there is real evil in this world. As soon as I send this message, I'm going to give my kids another hug.
It’s so crazy to me that in any of these murder cases the guilty never asked who did it.. if I was being falsely accused of murder Id want to know who killed my wife and kid and why they weren’t looking for the actual murderer not once do they ever inquire
If you were being falsely accused, wouldn't it be obvious to you that law enforcement doesn't know who really did it? So why would you ask?
Well first they are raking him over the coals not even trying to find anyone else who had done this horror.. that's what sucks about cops tunnel vision. Just see one way
@Y15..Most overlook this..very telling....
@@commercialaccount9501
Because almost instinctively we want answers..we want to help and be helpful..
It's one if your forever loves..
Sounds like TRUTH is important for all...mmho
Ding ding ding!
I am sorry but anyone that could brutally murder family members and others does not have empathy. His tears and performance is outstanding--but don't be fooled. He's a wolf in sheep clothing.
He's crying for himself. I'd cry to ,if I was headed to prison the rest of my life
Aborting a baby is a brutal murder of a family member….but I don’t see any outrage in America over those brutal murders. Twisted how people get all emotionally invested in a case like this though…while being just fine with baby murder.
@@FerallHog your point has zero relevance to this case. I guarantee lots of people that loved Paul and Maggie and want justice for them are also fully against abortion, given the geopolitical atmosphere of SC. Your comment disrespectfully undermines the value and weight of the 22 + 53 years that Paul and Maggie respectively spent living, breathing, thinking and feeling things on this earth. If time is money, their years of living holds much more value than never truly living. If justice for one is justice for all, why are you here?
@@ellenresinger1934 my point has every relevance…and you know it. People all crying and up in arms for the wife and son…many of those same people rabidly support murdering innocent babies. If you can’t understand the extreme hypocrisy and blind spot, then you need help.
@@ellenresinger1934 I assume you are Pro Aborting innocent children, Ellen. Yet you opine and virtue signal for young Paul. How evil.
The more this malignant narcissist says paw-paw, the more I want him to NEVER get out of prison. Sorry Alex, your paw-paw defence just couldn't cut it.
The weird zombie like rocking back and forth, the lip smacking, the snot dripping...ugh! Guilty!
😂😂😂
I vote guilty in the first degree.....
He's sorry his lies don't hold up. Period. He's as sick as his secrets.
I believe he's sorry he got caught and may have to actually serve a sentence.
Those annoying nicknames. OMG.Funny how we never heard them during the 911 call, police interrogations, police bodycams, or jailhouse calls. If he thought he was endearing himself with the jury, he thought wrong. They saw right thru him.
I felt like I needed a translator, trying to listen to him talk.
Maggie went out there to accompany Alex to his dad &/or mom. Not once was he asked how come he supposedly left her behind instead of her going with him. That was how he got her there in the first place. Huge plot miss.
" I would not intentional hurt my wife or son" There ya go.
The infamous tissue he pulls out to wipe his dry eyes.
The most DISGUSTING part of this horrific crime is that this 😈 thought he was SO Smart & Clever that he would get away with 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ murdering his son & wife....They ALWAYS think they're smarter than anyone else! Hence very DANGEROUS
The most deranged man on the planet.
Paul was so sweat, that he use to bash his ex girlfriend, kick her, push her about. Get drunk and slap her. Oh yeah he was sweat towards, his ex girl friend who looks like a Princess who you would treat as a Queen. I live in Australia but I would travel to the end of this planet to have meet someone like her.
You're only getting one side of the story. There's always 3 sides to these relationship stories---his side, her side and the reality side.
He seemed more concerned about clearing his name than helping LEO’s find the “Real killer”, even before being named a suspect. He made sure that the data from his car, his phone and Maggie’s phone never “Crossed paths”. He obviously did that to bolster his alibi, along with all the “Inadvertent” Google searches on his phone, mere tactics to project a state of confusion. If you read between the lines, he’s guilty as guilty can be.
Why would anyone lie about anything if they are innocent, especially after something so horrific like this. An innocent person would be in complete shock. I feel like Buster is emotionless, like he is not surprised on some level. It’s strange. He is also not looking the lawyer in the eye continuously.
Is buster is other son.? If so, he said he believes his dad is innocent.
First two minutes of his testimony says it all: his mouth is saying no while he's literally nodding YES. Body language at its loudest!
He’s definitely on more than opiates…He’s completely licked and sucked his own lips off his face! I think the only time in all the videos that he isn’t doing it is when he’s actually telling the truth which is only a few times throughout the whole trial
Does anyone know how he actually consumed them? IV, snort or just swallow? His nose was runny here so im guessing he snorted them.
Yes i do believe when he consistently starts licking and smacking his lips hes buying time to lie.
I think this is possibly due to the stress he's under so his autonomic nervous center is acting strong. I'm not convinced he was an Opiate addict like he claimed. He doesn't act like one and he couldn't have operated as he did for a decade under the influence of opiates at the rate he claims to have taken them.
"Who's Paw paw?"
"My son pawpaw, my son, oh my son Paul"
GOD he and his attorneys are terrible actors. The lot of them.
I think it is interesting how he took the time to spend time with his son and do some of those precious memory making things, knowing that he was going to be ending his life within a few hours. I think it was just an alibi rather than actually special father-son time. It's nice that Paul got to feel like his dad was wanting to spend time with him, but I know that all of that faded away the moment that he realize that his dad had not only shot him, but shot him intentionally and was coming back for more to make sure the job got done. How absolutely horrific that last moment of his life was.
So damn sad!
Alex is a monster
What the judge said about Alex seeing them in his dreams and around every corner I hope is true!
He needs to be haunted by them the rest of his life!
This is what gets me the most. How could someone be this demonic and evil? His son was laughing with his dad, playing around with the dogs literally minutes before. I just can’t imagine or believe how horribly depraved a human being has to be to go through with something like this 😢
@@anavrodriguez2502 i didnt followed all this but why you guys think it was planed? I think something escalated

All these threats Paul supposedly got on social media, in bars, etc. and he *still* doesn’t go into detail of what these threats actually were. Why so vague?
Social media??? He should have the proof,,,or a couple of witnesses but, no. He’s a lawyer with a badge..he should’ve sent the person a certified letter threatening to sue them for harassing paupa 😉👍🏻
Don’t you think they should examine Paul’s cell and social media ? Especially leading up to the murder date. No mention of this at all. Investigation is faulty and not complete for sure.
@@susietapliner Yeah, you'd think there would've been a thorough investigation of Paul's social media activities. Or, maybe there was, and there wasn't much to say about it. 🤔
Paul has always been threatened and assaulted online and in public. That's well known especially online.
Did you now Paul? I need too start at the beginning of the trail. Do you think he killed his wife and son. I leave in Norway. I have read about these case many times in our Norwegian newspapers. Please excuse me spelling I did only learn the most important words and grammar. I use google if I don’t understand some words. Have a wonderful day from Hilde in Norway. It’s middle of the night in Norway now.
Catching up on the replay, went out to see some live music play tonight, and yeah, Ed always has the most perfect hair, it looks like he😮 gets it done professionally done for each show now 😅

Wow I didn’t know he had GSR all on his hands and clothes.
