When they're describing Maggie's wounds in detail with autopsy pictures and physical descriptions of the parts of her body ripped into by an assault rifle at close range, and the camera cuts to Buster, blank-eyed, snacking on sunflower seeds. And the fact that NOBODY was willing to give a victim impact statement for Maggie (not even her sister) or Paul; there's something really wrong in this family.
Alex has them all fooled that’s why. He’s a master manipulator. Even when all the evidence is stacked against him there are still people that think he didn’t do it, including his and Maggie’s families. Really crazy when you think about it
@@dandychiggins9028 Think about your own family: we all have a few liars and cheats tucked in there somewhere, but we know it. And if you look at the Murdaughs through the generations you can see lying and cheating is part of the culture. The women who marry in know it too, but they all toe the party line. Just like Paul's friends on the boat knew he was an alcoholic abusive jerk, but his place was like a play ground and everybody in the circle shared in the rewards in one way or another. Remember that Maggie texted her friend, "He's up to something." Who says that about someone they love and trust? And her sister regretted encouraging her to go to Moselle. They all knew danger lurked around the corner and AM wasn't to be trusted.
What if the second shooter was a buster? What if he was the one who hid Alex's gun and clothes? What if he lied about being at the girl's house 200 miles from the crime scene at the time?
My mom passed away almost 12 years ago from a very brief illness at almost 70...I STILL cry over those last moments thinking about them.. my throat feels swollen and swallowing is hard.... his mother was blasted to pieces by a murderer, he's listening to the description of her last living moments which were gruesome and violent.. and he's EATING.. sunflower seeds! Don't anyone give the lame bull$#!t excuse if denial..or grieving differently! ....😑😑🙄🙄
I’m not totally convinced Alex is the “shooter” at this point! I cannot believe he would shoot his wife FOUR TIMES and then switch to a shotgun and shoot his own son TWO TIMES to blow his brains all over the place!!! I do believe he could have HIRED A KILLER to kill his wife but NOT HIS SON! 🤔
@CerealBoomer Have you been watching a different trial? The prosecution has nothing that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he did the murders. That's why they have had to drag in everything else.
Does anyone else get the feeling that every single highly skilled related professional in the state has been summoned to put up the best fight to end to Mr Murders reign? This guy is the TRUTH.
@@Maddiehere89 The family is very influential and a strong case must be presented to have justice for Paul and his Mother. Interesting presentations with precise, factual information. Is the death penalty being considered ? Does Buster realize he may be incriminate due to previous knowledge about his Dad's intentions?
Both Paul and Maggie would have seen who shot them. I cannot imagine the horror of the last few minutes of their lives. That man is a monster. All of his fake crying makes me sick.
I get a clear picture of the scene, and what happened, but not who did it. He was an informative witness, but, not a "strong witness for the prosecution*.
@@ZacchaeusNifong he wasn’t brought on to convict AM. He was brought on to fully describe the crime scene. He’s not giving his opinion on who killed them, just the timeline of the actual shooting
This gentleman was most definitely very, very well trained and knowledgeable and was very good explaining how everything happened. I really liked him and got a clear understanding of what happened and how it happened. What an excellent testimony he gave today! Bravo!
If I only had the money to hire this expert witness to examine my son and all of the evidence when he was killed 3 years ago perhaps I would know the truth of what happened to him when he died 3 days before his 54th birthday in Sherman, Texas….a city who has, obviously, little to no money to spend on investigating these kinds of things. The only person that was investigated was the woman to whom he had been married for 20 months at the time he died. My son was a Certified Public Accountant and owned his own accounting firm. Collin County would no even perform an autopsy on my son because they said he died in a hospital even though when the police and EMTs arrived, he had sustained a wound from a .45 caliber hollow point bullet in his head…and if you think that was not almost impossible for me to “type”, you are not a parent….he was transported to the local hospital’s ER and was there until he was intubated, put on a respirator in the ICU where was kept alive for approximately 24 hours. There were text messages found on my son’s phone from his “wife” where in July she threatened to “blow your brains out”…6 weeks later that seems to me exactly what happened…and, as I said, because his heart stopped beating in the hospital, they wanted $2,000 to perform an autopsy. I have not even heard from the “detective” in about 2 years…2 years! If I had MONEY I might know what actually happened to my sweet, smart, caring oldest son. Money might not buy happiness but it sure can help you pay doctors, attorneys, and investigators to find out what happened to your child when they die way before their time because NOBODY is going to help you for free because no one else loves your child like you do.
@@nancycurtis488 Nancy I’m so sorry to hear this. This is shameful. Did they try to say it was a suicide or what? It sounds like something I’ve seen too many times, the spouse marries for money and kills to get all of it. I’m a mother and I’m so sorry to hear this and how much you are suffering. May your son rest in peace.
You can tell this man is accustomed to teaching because he just naturally explains things in a detailed and meticulous manner. He is perfect for a witness on crime scene evidence. The prosecutor in this case has had amazing forensic, pathology and crime scene testimony. Whew! I wouldn't want to be the defense for this one.
I agree. Dr. Kinsey helped the jury and everyone else understand exactly what he was saying. He’s a brilliant man who comes off like a regular guy. I love that!
@@barneyronnie I wouldn’t downplay the amount of stuff he’s accomplished in his life. Walden or not most people don’t get anywhere near all that schooling, experience and expertise in their life.
@@kellyandkidsx1546 Indeed, he was definitely a go-getter with sufficient education and experience to be of value to the prosecution. It's just that as a mathematical physicist, I had the pleasure of learning from and interacting with many true geniuses; some of whom were Nobel Laureates in chemistry and physics. It's disappointing that fewer and fewer talented students pursue mathematics, physics and other sciences. One final note: there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics due to indiscretions by Nobel's wife and an unknown, amorous mathematician 😁. The highest award in mathematics is the Fields Medal, which is awarded every four years to the mathematician(s) who have obtained groundbreaking and often amazing results. I suppose that I am a bit miffed that studying CSI tends to have a romantic and exotic appeal that attracts a number of mathematically talented students. As a proselytizer of math & physics, this and a number of other (exotic) areas of study leave a dearth of American sons/ daughters who become dedicated scientists/ mathematicians.
The fact that the shots were so close and neither Paul nor Maggie tried to run, leads me to believe this was someone they trusted. What happened to them is just horrific and heartbreaking🥺
Alex said that he and Paul fired a couple guns earlier on the 7th. Did the police find those bullets or shells and compare them with the murder scene shells?
I am still unclear as to how it could’ve been anybody other than Alec. I mean who would have known that this boy was in this room in the dark at that time of night, and then know where the mother is as well it’s just very strange.
If I was charged with something this horrific and I didn't do it, I'd be screaming and rolling on the floor in despair at the description of what happened to the people I loved. I can NOT imagine listening to that. While he does exhibit some emotion, I can't understand how he isn't just devastated?!?
But someone who is traumatized by the idea of it, wouldn't do what Alex did to his child and wife. This was just 2 birds with 1 stone for Alex Murdaugh.
Agree. But this is a year later. Even so. I’d be crying the whole trial. He’s torn between acting enraged and acting despair. For people who have lost someone in a tragedy, like myself, it’s easy to do either at any time. We can’t control when those hit, but either rage or despair happens. Dude doesn’t have either. Edit. His crying hits at times. But him sitting there the real sadness isn’t there. Not real sadness he should have
Hi it’s 7 months later answering you, my apologies. Alec had to maintain his composure so as not to look “disturbed” or menacing. I’m not convinced that he committed this crime, as the OnStar information came in the same week as his trial. It shouldn’t have taken so long. Also, the original guns used in the murders were never found. Being a liar n a thief doesn’t make 1 a violent criminal.
It's awful to see the defence team try to stop the prosecutor from exposing the expert's qualifications. He is their worst nightmare because the jury will trust his evidence.
He had to emphasize his stellar background because they are going to try to make forensics out to be incompetent like the dream team did with police in the oj trial. They have no other chance.
The defense (and the defendant) look exactly like the corrupt 'good ol boys' that they are. It's hilarious watching the judge shutting their bs down left and right 😂
Agree. Mrs. Proctor (by the way) , Maggies sister asked mr. bobblehead : "did maggie suffer" ... and red-ripper said: No. Well, another lie . But it does not matter anymore. He is a abomination of a human being.
Absolutely are running roughshod over the defense, especially today during such vital testimony. I thought he was really pushy with the female forensic expert today. Did anyone else wonder why the prosecution didn't object to at least put a brake on the flow? She looked intimidated to me.
the way he says "yes sir I do" is great! he was another one who's testimony was just great. extremely thorough and you can tell he has tremendous respect for both victims and for what he does.
Love how Buster is able to be back there eating candy and looking dimwitted while everyone is viewing graphic photos of his mom and brother. I think there's more to Buster's story and whereabouts then what has been told.
He is cut from the same cloth his dad is from. Cold and calculated. He should not be allowed back into law school for cheating. Doesn't that go against everything of being a lawyer?? Buster can go open a online Ginger service. The whole family thinks the world owes them. What I can't figure out is why Alex only borrowed significant money from partners and friends. He has his family and brothers with significant wealth and generational wealth.
@@syzygyfarm It depends on how much Alex has squirrelled away and if they find it. I think the reason he says he was spending 50k a week (or whatever it was) on oxy is a massive exaggeration/attempt to hide assets.
Dr. Kinsey is brilliant and fascinating to listen to. His testimony was so vivid that I felt as if I were at the crime scene with him. He’s a mild mannered southern gentleman who is an asset to the judicial establishment. Dr. Kinsey and Dr. Reimer were both powerful witnesses and spoke for Paul and Maggie.
What an excellent witness Dr Kinsey is. So thorough and professional in his expert analysis of both victims wounds. So precise in all of his analysis. This man clearly loves his profession and I am extremely impressed by his testimony. I'm sure the Defense will not feel the same way.
The experts are truly phenomenal. You can tell that they still love their jobs (even though that may seem odd to some people; considering what it entails) and they are continuing to fight for those whom have died. They are the voice from the grave, so to speak. As a nurse, I have much respect for the medical examiners, forensic psychologist, LEO’s etc..who assist in these cases. This man has an outstanding career. God bless the families and friends, touched by this tragedy. May the victims RIP.
Does anyone else find it very disturbing/weird or even odd that as The Dr’s describing the details/reenactments of how both victims were shot, body placements and the horrific photographs / images of the crime scene / post mortem images as well as his expertise/own versions , etc..? How both AM and his living Son sitting in the courtroom were chewing gum during his entire testimony? As well as not a single tear drop shed , from what I’ve noticed. A particular female sitting back behind AM on the defense side who throughout the trial was smiling, laughing, odd behavior and mannerisms that not anyone else were exhibiting. I’ve even zoomed in and replayed it several times to see on it all. Even slow mode and pausing. Son looking forward at the re enactments/expert/photographs the entire time all the while chewing his gum. Only AM looked down, away a few times. That was the wife of AM’s children, son as well as the mother and brother ( full details) who didn’t die immediately and brutally murdered! First time I’ve seen a child able to, let alone want to stay in the courtroom during the entire trial. Especially when they are called as a witness in a double murder. This case is beyond sad, shocking, disturbing to me. My thoughts are with the family / friends / community/LEO’s /crime scene experts on/off scene of the victims who truly cared and loved them, wanting to see Justice prevail for them! This is all my personal opinions on all above. J/S
The fact that Dr. Kinsey has his work peer reviewed just shows his professionalism and care for his work. He was so objective and fascinating. I learned so much. I feel so sorry for Paul and Maggie. They must have been so scared seeing their “loved one” in front of them ready to kill them. Absolutely brutal and heartless
I think that's why he did head shots, he really wanted then to die right away. Maggie in the back of the head right? so probably snuck up on her. Paul must have came to see out of the dog food room and saw dad standing there
@@mwoods4608 They never gave a reliable answer on who's brown hair tuft was found in Maggie's hand nor who's DNA was found under her nails. They did say it was not family. Then also, two guns. It seems like they left out some proofs. They did prove he was a liar and thief but it was about murder.
agreed but one caveat; ALL experts have work peer reviewed. This really means nothing, as anyone can have work "reviewed" but the question is, what those reviews find. This is something people say but it merely means, people looked at his work. Now if they use it and cite it in OTHER works, then maybe it's worth noting. People need to be careful trusting either side in a courtroom when they choose their experts. Some experts are not that expert like this guy. But yes the guy knows his stuff and is very personable and perfect for this testimony in all its gruesome details.
@@andrabcool1600 They did say the hair in her hand was her own. When the bullet hit her, hair was blown off and when she landed in the grass it landed in her hand or something along those lines.
After Paul’s first shot to the arm and chest, I wonder was he able to talk at that point? I can only imagine if he was he had to have thought dad accidentally discharged that shotgun and would soon get him help. I can’t imagine the fear he felt when he saw dad raise that shotgun and take aim at his head. This is about as evil as it gets. Alex Murdaugh is the worst type of human ever.
When dr Kinsey said Paul stood there for a while after being shot. I can imagine him talking to his Dad. Asking him what was he doing. The complete horror when his own Dad drew the gun and shot him again to finish him off.
Haha absolutely. Haughty, spoiled, entitled, selfish, manipulative and truly evil…born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The most important things in life can’t be bought sold or bartered. This man took his free will and decided to take from everyone he could…manipulate…deceive….and in my opinion ultimately murder. You will know them by their fruit.
I'm beyond impressed by this man's accomplishments and expertise. His speech, knowledge and candor definitely makes him a relatable and great teacher. Wow 👏
As experienced and well trained with honorable and very impressive degrees, he is so humble and seems like a down to earth and very intelligent gentleman.
Excellent testimony! What a tragedy? As a mother, I wonder who was shot first? Imagine someone shooting your own kid no matter what kind of kid Paul was! & as a Mom you are left helpless & unable to help him?. Then the same monster turns on you & fatally shoots you! This case is so SAD.
At first I was worried & concerned about Buster wellbeing , but his lack of emotions, is of another level. The guy shows no sign of empathy, arrogantly chewing on the gum, while the specialist was demonstrating how his Mom & little Bro were killed is very disturbing! He seems to be so *COLD*
@@starofthesea203 I thought the very same thing. Nonchalantly chewing his gum while the expert described the fatal injuries to his mother and brother. As for Alex, there was absolutely no sign of grief when the injuries to Maggie were being described. I zoomed in. No tears. Just fake sniffling every now and then. Pure evil!
I think it has to be extremely difficult for those defense attorneys sitting beside AM bc they absolutely know he executed his own child and wife in cold blood
Unfortunately, that's their job. I mean, they're used to it. They know that these people are murderers and scum bags, but a rare few aren't. Innocent until proven guilty. Someone has to be their lawyer. This is our law system. Unfortunately, sometimes, some that are actually innocent are sentenced.
Stalked them and cold bloodedly slaughtered them. That is a type of evil that is worse than a serial killer because these are family, the son being his own flesh and blood.
Imagine sitting there " knowing " you killed your own son & wife and listening to the details & seeing the photos , you would have to be one sick person to do this .
The sadness has really begun to resonate deeply in me at this point. The last seconds of Paul's life and Maggie's life of how they were standing, bleeding and dying. It's so surrealistic.
You marry money and status, never show any interest in what your hubby is up to then this happens. Alex is a psychopath. So are his sons. Chris Watts, just more status within the community.
I agree. I just cannot begin to imagine the fear and confusion Paul and Maggie were feeling as their supposed protector was killing them and they looked into his eyes. Alex Murdaugh is pure evil!
While Paul has already been shot in chest, he walked to the door entrance then saw his dad’s face before his dad blew his head off.. Maggie running to see what is happening to Paul, but is met by her husband whom shoots her 5 times.. The last time being fatal while she is on her knees probably praying.. This is all very tragic.. When I meet my maker, I damn sure don’t want to see it coming!!
@@americanwoman9342 This makes me physically ill and terrified for what Paul and Maggie’s last seconds of life were like. As horrifying as it is, I feel like your description of events is how the prosecution needs to tell the jury how it all happened.
Hearing exactly how this wife and son were brutally murdered sounds so horrific and painful. I can't imagine them experiencing that, and knowing in their final moments on earth... the one person in the world they trusted most.. was capable of such evil, ending their lives for literally nothing is just unfathomable to me. Such a reckoning he will have the day he meets his maker.
@Jackie Johnson I wish I hadn't listened to so much detail. Haunts me. I can only imagine the visions he has to live with! I'm glad he will spend life in prison, reliving that every minute.
IMO he felt he had good reason. Maggie was straying off the Mertaugh reservation, she was asking questions about where their money was, she was demanding he quit his opioids, and she has consulted a attorney (from out of town) about a divorce. Paul was just a problem all around. IMO he was a alcoholic. He was still functioning fairly well until he reached a certain point, at which time his whole personality changed. He became a mean drunk, Timmy, as his friends called him. He was in trouble legally and was probably facing some jail time. In addition, Paul’s behavior was getting Alex audited financially. His kingdom was falling down. To him, that probably looked like a pretty good reason to eliminate both of them. I don’t feel Alex meets the criteria of a family annihilator, except for the financial pressure. According to his friends and family , he seemed normal. IMO he shows signs of grief while the murders are being described. Plus, in the weeks following the deaths but before September 3, he seemed to show signs of a breakdown. Hie still had supreme confidence in his ability to get away with anything, but after he lost his law license his confidence may have slipped a bit. If he is a narcissistic sociopath he saw Maggie and Paul as extensions of himself. If they stopped being useful, they had to go.
I saw a comment elsewhere that the prosecution has not been doing a very good job. I’m with you. My thought is just the opposite. In my opinion, defense has not been doing a very good job of creating any reasonable doubt for the jury to consider.
@@basicallyno1722 I know, right! I think the prosecution team has done a great job eliciting "evidence" and truth in this circumstantial case. But it may all depend on who is the best orator in the finals. They may be good at 'shaking the snow globe' and concocting doubt. That's all they need, is one doubter, right?
This doctor is amazing. I have already listen to this once today when it was live. Now I am watching it again just to hear him explain everything again. He is brilliant, honest, interesting and likable. Just the total opposite of the monster who sits in court today.
When watching Live we don't get to see the exhibits that the jury sees as they're listening to the witness. Watching it again now brings it all together even more impressively. Excellent witness.
Dr. Kinsey is exceptional. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but his delivery and explanations are excellent and captivating. He is extremely thorough and absolute genius.
Nah.. these are his opinions after looking at the evidence.. the jury will have their own opinions after looking at the evidence. At this point Alex Murdoch is innocent until proven guilty.. that comes when those twelve individuals render a verdict
One of the best expert witness testimonies I've heard. He really knows how to describe a scene and scenario in way that's easy to understand and visualize
To see Alex sitting there looking at those photos, calmly chewing gum, showing absolutely zero emotion (not until over half way through) as the witness described the horrific injuries to his supposed beloved wife and son is disturbing! I know everyone grieves differently, but there is no way you could show ZERO emotion listening to this; and I’m sure the jury took that into account as well.
I agree my granddaughter and unborn baby girl was killed by Colton Willard when he while in a fit of rage jerked her steering wheel . May 11th this year will make 5 years and I still grieve and if I allow myself to think of her injuries what she experienced or was she afraid as she laid there dying almost makes me insane like uncontrollably screams wants to come out like they did that night . I only was able to get somewhat under control with people holding me praying with me and seeing my other grandchildren thinking they don't need to see or hear my wailing. Shock of unexpected tragedy is totally different than when you are at bedside knowing they are dying which is hard enough. Nothing I'd wish on my worst enemy and I don't even have the heart to pray death upon Colton Willard but I did want him punished . He got 5 measley years reckless and fetal homicide and only spent 22 months of that . He never was sorry he would stare at us in the courtroom like as if to say I did it and you couldn't stop me . He's reason he didn't want a fu&king girl as earlier that day they found out it was going to be a girl that's what he said as he walked out of the Drs office. Witnesses heard it all .
@@10sherra I am so very, very sorry for your loss 😭. If my daughter and granddaughter were killed and I was the one to find them, the police would have to sedate me to pull me from them; yet Alex Murdaugh stood there calmly waiting for the police and immediately began directing their attention away from himself!
Wow. Dr. Kinsey is great. And not many "experts" have their analysis peer reviewed before a final report is generated or used in court. I have no doubt now that Alex did this. It's awful to think of what poor Maggie went through that night. Tried to get away and was hunted down like a dog. This guy is beyond evil, man. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with this dude.
Yeah there is.....a 50,000 dollar a week opiate addiction. Takes away all your empathy. He's beem numb to this world for years and years. Was easy for him to execute his wife and son in cold blood.
Alex probably felt a lot of rage toward Maggie, he probably blamed her for the financial stuff, his type never takes responsibility for his actions. "Your over spending made me steal". Never mind the money Alex was spending.
There is seriously something wrong with Buster. Sat there casually chewing something while listening to how his brother and mother were brutally murdered. No sign of any sadness, anger, loss etc. It’s just not normal in any respect. What was his alibi?
I personally think that Paul took the first shot like a champ....turned, walking toward the shooter (possibly his father) either in an attempt to defend himself or seeking help. I don't think the shooter expected this, started to back out out the room, and tripped backwards possibly falling down onto his ass, causing the second shot to come from such a low angle.
That crazy that was my first thought, my guess was that Paul was shoot the second time and the fatal shot with Alex flat on his back just outside the doorway. That’s the only way that shotgun could have been fired so low to the ground with that upward trajectory. During that testimony they never went in that direction and I was about to scream at my TV.
Bingo! That was my first thought also. As Dr. Kinsey described the blood pattern showed Paul slowly moving towards the door, I could just hear Paul asking his father In shock “Why?” 🥺
Yes! I was surprised they didn’t have the expert discuss why that second shot may have come from that angle. If Alex had fallen it also gave Maggie a little time to likely start running. I can’t imagine the horror of what she saw before she died.
And, Murdaugh says, "Holy crap, it's like this guy was watching me kill my wife and kid!" This witness, as well as the others, is thorough, credible, believable, understandable, clear. I pray that they are able to put this monster away. He deserves no leniency nor mercy, as he didnt offer any to his 'supposedly' loved family. He harbored latent anger against his wife and son, and saw them as being in the way of his drug addiction, and costing him money (the boating case). Narcissistic sociopaths act ONLY for their own benefit or perceived survival. There is NEVER anything more important than their selfish motives.
I agree. Paul ( little detective) come across his father's pills, told his mother, & she confronted that monster. Not sure if they found out about him stealing money from his clients and freind or not at this stage?? . He didn't want his dream life interrupted . Such an evil man. Rest in peace Miss Maggie and Paul. I'm so sorry .😓💔
And the tears he did happen to squeeze out was the realization of what he did to his son and wife along with him realizing he got caught. He's guilty AF. IMO
The way the defense team tried to stop the prosecution from detailing how qualified of an expert Dr. Kinsey is 🤣🤣 This is like watching "Liar, Liar" ... "Objection, your Honor! This man's expertise and testimony is going to be devastating to my client's case!" 😂💀
The feed room? This couldn't get any sadder. Possibly only 1 exit? I can't even imagine. Alex is not a man he is a pathetic monster. If I had not heard all his lies I might be straddling the fence
Read what a sociopath is. Read what a narcissist is. Alex wanted everyone to think highly of him. He said he had the best in-laws, that says if he was a bad person his in-laws wouldn't be nice to him, a sociopath has no empathy for anyone But Themselves.
The fact that Paul was shot at close range and did not have his arms up tells me that the person who shot him is someone he was comfortable with. Instinctively, a person will defensively put their arms up or turn and run. As a mom, Maggie would have shielded Paul, but she clearly saw he was mortally wounded, knew he was beyond help and tried to save herself.
@@tdpooh1972 Morgan Paul’s ex girlfriend said that Maggie wasn’t motherly or loving towards Paul. Their family was fucked on many levels. Wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if she ran to save herself. None of them are innocent.
@@tdpooh1972 that is what most mothers would do, but this is a v strange family. They have zero regard for any lives but their own. Baiting wild animals to kill, while leaving dogs locked up in small cages for the majority of their lives is despicable. They all look like an old time puppet named Howdy Duty that my grandmother would talk about when she saw a freckled, orange haired child When hunters become the hunted, I wonder if they see the irony during their final seconds.
I do NOT see how Buster can sit there even thinking his dad could have killed his brother & mother! I hope Alex hears & sees his wife & son for the rest of his life!
Buster is there because he feels compelled. In his heart he needs to know what happened and make his own conclusions. Did dad actually do this? Well, this is not easy for this young man to endure. Tough times.
Dr/Chief Kinsey was the most impressive on the stand of this trial so far. He held my interest with every word he said. Also what a giant presence he has as well. His credentials are so incredibly impressive. God bless that demeanor of his
This guy did a fantastic job explaining everything. Very knowledgeable well trained and a great witness. He made things very clear as to what exactly happened. His testimony was one of the best.
The witnesses in this case are of an exceptionally high quality. Dr Kinsey is really the best of the best in his field and he still gets the best he can find to double check his analysis.Excellent work to all of those involved in this case and especially yo Judge Newman who is doing a fine job especially considering he lost his own son only two weeks before the trial. God Bless him and his family 🙏 Prayers from Australia 🇦🇺
Dag I'm appalled in how Maggie was shot down like she was an animal. It was an overkill for her. So sad. My heart feels so heavy. And Alex is over there gritting his teeth and shaking his head. May everyone involved get what they deserve for this. Smh
I agree, and both were executed. I think his main target was Maggie, but he got Paul to go inside the shed where he was trapped so he was killed first, I think. Either he didn’t want any witnesses to her murder or he killed his own son because of the boat case. I think he felt both were enemies to him.
@iamthatiam9135 That's what I want to know as well. Let me know who they is, because I don't know who said that. No divorce attorneys come forth. Not sure what was up with the sister's testimony, cause both Maggie and Paul were always playing detectives to search for AM pill stash.
@@iamthatiam1618 I heard that too, and she was complaining about lack of money. She only had $58.00 in her bank account, the rest of her estate of over $4 million is in real estate. Also, there was to be a hearing on the boat case on June 10th because that pos was lying about being broke and the hearing was to complete him to cooperate with Mallory Beach’s lawyer, Mark Tinsley. You all need to go watch his defense lawyers question him…Mark was absolutely brilliant!
Surprises me that this family with all their wealth, didn’t invest on a few security cameras on the property ! After receiving so many threats (according to them)after the boat accident, their priority should have been security, but it obviously was not.
That's my opinion only if I did somthing terrible like that I would not be even able to listen all of that. I would say stop .enough. .I do not know how he can seat. And listen all of that. Never I will understand. Cold blood? Or some other problems ge has? I hope he can get what he deserves. And he was laughing at the hard working men that took care of his dogs.he thinks he is above humble people? He is not human in my eyes. How you can kill your wife yoyr child? Never get that. In my opinion
you can see it all over Alex’s face.. he looks guilty, he is guilty, I doubt he didn’t kill them.. it’s so heartbreaking knowing he deliberately grabbed guns, and purposely shot his wife and son and they had no chance to run… and yet he has the audacity to sit there and admit he stole all that money, but not admit that he killed his wife and son? He’s a psycho.
I can guarantee that if I was accused of killing my family and I didn’t do it I’d be freaking out crying and screaming every single day during trial not being able to sit there or function or keep my composure and plead that I cannot would not and did not kill my family. They would have to tranquilize me for me to calm down. I also feel that anyone else would do the same if they’re not guilty of such a crime
Alex never cries a tear. He’s only dismayed because he’s been caught, and he’s going to prison for the rest of his life, knowing that he executed his family.
@@gutenbird I think he does shed a few tears when they discuss subjects like his wife's wounds-- the guy stole five million dollars from his youthful client...and wasted it all on drugs...at $50K a week...he is a snake.... period!!
To me he looks pretty distraught at times from having to relive the moments he slaughtered 2 people who trusted him or at least never thought he would kill them.
@@gutenbird Ikr lol ... 7k a day on down 🤭😆😆 , even if he was paying 100 dollars a pill and taking two per hour it still wouldn't even be half the amount he claims. Maybe he was remarkably indebt to his dealers and was paying interest 🤷
Grief and denial effects everybody differently. He’s definitely still in denial based on his recent interview. I honestly feel bad for him, he lost his entire family. Hopefully he can have somewhat of a good life going forward.
Favorite witnesses so far: 1) Dr. Ellen Riemer. 2) Mr. Roger Dale Davis. 3) Dr. Kenny Kinsey. All well-spoken, knowledgeable in their fields and came across as honest people. Wonder what's coming next in testimony.
Sure wish I had awakened on the morning of my HS graduation to declare I'd be pursuing my PhD in Criminology and Law Enforcement. This man is so accomplished. Would love to audit some of his classes. Thank you, Sir.
Caren,.. I’m elderly now, but the longer I’ve lived through the years and the more wisdom that comes with age,…I became to realize that our lives should be lived in reverse order (so to speak). I think life would be so much better for everyone over all. Weird I know,.. but true!❤️
I can’t get enough of Dr. Kinney’s accent. He has the most perfect southern accent. I’ve been told I have southern accent so I probably have a similar accent to Dr. Kinney to other people but to me we sound different Lol I was born in North Carolina but raised in Alabama from age 2. I hope my thoughts don’t come across as inappropriate. I just enjoyed his accent and it really helped take away from the heaviness of his testimony. I want to say Dr Kinney has been an excellent witness and very clear and concise. I could listen to him all day and never get bored. He’s has a way of keeping the listener engaged.
This is the most impressive expert I've seen so far in the many homicide trials I've watched. A clear narrative without any stumbling or misgivings. As a student of forensic science and crime scene investigation I would like to have seen the actual crime scene and autopsy photos shown to the jury to put into physical context what Doctor Kinsey is describing, Damaging testimony for the defence. If Alex Mardaugh is convicted, this evidence will have played an integral part in the end result.
Chief, doctor, professor Kinsey, whatever the title you give him, is pretty inspiring and an interesting individual. I like him a lot. Thanks for all you do!
This just makes me sick to know what Alex murdaugh has done to so many people, they have died, he sat back and watch his housekeeper boys get kicked out of their home, because he stole their money, I just went on the internet and read everything about this case, I have been following this case for almost two years now and I still found out something new, unbelievable. I truly hope they follow up on Steven Smith case that young man death deserves to be brought to the light, and I also believe with the investigation that Buster is behind this murder.
From the way people describe the 2 brothers, Paul was a problem child from a very young age but not Buster. It seems more likely that Paul and his friends might have attacked Steven Smith to keep him away from Buster and damaging the family reputation.
@@sjbock correct me if I am wrong ..Buster was the one that caused or had something to do with the death of the young lady in the boat accident..Also why didn't he kill both children Buster and Paul instead just Paul and his mother??
@@sjbock both were problem children but Paul caused the death of the young lady. I've read where Buster was just a bad as Paul. Buster gave Paul his ID to but alcohol before the accident.
Wow I'm impressed one of the nicest witnesses they have had in court shame its in such a sad case but we are here snd his so nice his answering in such a lovely manner
I wouldn't want to get on Mr. PhD's bad side. It's these smarty pants that can surprise any one of us with their dark sides. But i thoroughly enjoy listening to him. Great info.
I LOVE this witness!!! He is so educated and knowledgeable, but best of all polite and warm. There have been a lot of awesome witnesses on the prosecution side ❤
If you followed closely Dr.Kinsey testimony, Paul walked towards the door after the first shot was fired at him. That tells us that he was not afraid of going in the directon where the first shot came from, knowing well the shot came from the direction of the door. In my opinion (as if anybody cares :)) couple of things that can be derived, from his action after the first shot: 1. He did not see the shooter at the door, as his posture inside the feed room is that, his right side (not his chest/abdomen area) was in the direction of the door. This indicates he was not paying attention to the door, and may have been busy looking at stuff in the direction of the side wall. 2. If he had seen the shooter, he would have panicked and been in shock, and avoided moving in the direction of danger. He would have taken cover within the clutter, inside the feed room. But, he moved towards the door. This gives a hint that, he did not see the shooter OR the shooter was someone he was familiar with(!?), that made him comfortable to move in the direction of the first shot, as he didn't think it was a danger. There is no way somebody would go towards the direction of danger, rather than immediately take cover in the opposite direction of danger. I would only assume, either he did not notice the shooter at the door, as he was facing the wall inside the room, and walked towards the door to find out who/what happened (of course in pain and shock) to take help. Or, he was familiar with the shooter, and did not suspect he will be shot again, and walked towards the shooter to take help. Last thing one would do is, go towards the direction of danger/shooter, unless they didn't see anybody in that direction or they were familiar with the shooter.
I'm curious on the shooting myself. I think Paul just did not notice the killer was there and was blindsided by the first shot, through the pain and shock his mind was basically on auto pilot of get me away from this room where the pain occurred. I genuinely don't think in his state he looked up to try and recognize anyone. What gets me the most is if he stumbled towards the doorway slow enough for the drops of blood to fall directly down, so not a run or falling out of the door, how does Alex have time to wait for him to get to the door, shoot again, then change weapons to shoot his wife. I guess I would assume maggie was close by to see the first shot happen then by the time the second shot happened she would probably be running away; however, their bodies were rather close to each other. Could there have been a second shooter? Did Alex have help? Someone to dispose of the evidence as he ran to his mother's house to give him a shot at an alibi?
@@dylana4717 Here's what may have happened. Remember, Alex was with them at 8.44 pm (thanks to the Kennel video that has never been denied by Alex or the Defese team). He would have shot Maggie first, while Paul was inside the feed room. Paul would not suspect anyway, as they always shoot hogs/turkey and other animals in that property. He must have thought it is his dad shooting one of those animals. Then, Alex came to Paul and Paul was not paying attention to the door. Alex shot Paul, moved to the side of the entrance and waited till Paul exited, and shot him again at the entrance. Even if Paul saw his Dad shoot the first shot at him, he would have been comfortable going in the direction of the door/dad, as he would have thought it was a mistake and didn't expect to be shot again. Or, if he didn't see Alex, he didn't expect anybody to shoot him again at the door, but, Alex was waiting on the side of the entrance, to shoot again.
@@rajaismail8490 I only have doubts on that timeline due to the two expert witnesses stating Maggie was shot in the leg and then the waste, so we would have to presume she made zero sound, no screaming, before falling to her hands and knees to be shot again, and then once more after she was presumed dead. I also can't help but wonder if the highly execution style of these killings hold importance. Maggie was presumed dead already as the third shot entered her brain, yet the kill shot the back of her head as she was on the ground. Paul getting his head practically blown off seems very gruesome as well. I wonder if it could imply paid hitman to guarantee death or someone that had been emotionally charged to want them dead. But returning to the topic I think Paul was killed first while maggie was perhaps letting dogs out on a last walk of the day, she heard shots and went to see what happened when the killer shot her. The only reason I suspect this is Maggie had particular way she ordered the dogs in each kennel and they were not in that order when the police showed up. So someone other than maggie returned the dogs.
@@dylana4717 The reason I think Maggie was shot first, is because, as a Mother if she saw or heard a gunshot where her son is, she would be screaming and running towards her son, no matter what extreme danger may confront her, trust me, a mother instinct to save her kid is unparallel to any courage in the world. And, to u r point that Maggie would have walked the dog may not be correct, as the frist responders did not see any dog out, if I understood you correct.
This whole case is so unfathomable yet here it is in cold hard facts. I'm a mama and I cannot imagine the pain that woman experienced in her last moments watching her youngest son have his head blown off by the man she gave her life to... I have no evidence to back this up but I think that she was walking away from the kennels when she hears the shotgun blast so she spins around in enough time to see the shot to Paul's head which I'm guessing triggered her to run towards her injured child at which point she was mowed down. Just heartless.
I agree entirely. she was a witness to the son’s murder and Alex had to kill her to remove a witness. It is horror and horrible, he is without doubt a sociopath.
Only he knows if Maggie saw what he did to their son. Maybe she didn't have time to see her son, and if she did, she probably didn't have time to comprehend what was happening before he started shooting at her.
At times I pray God to forgive me ,because I so wish I was never born into such evil world and I love and have compassion ,empathy ,I wish I was born into a better world, I love life and all ppl ,I just hate evil
@@Lucy2123-ku9czyou don’t have to apologize to Him. He understands why we long for a better world and better place… He’s already there preparing that place for us when we arrive. ❤️
Every time Dr. Kinsey describes the injuries, Murdaugh stares ahead and seems to fade away as if he’s reliving the actions described by the doctor. Then he cries when he comes back to the present,
When they're describing Maggie's wounds in detail with autopsy pictures and physical descriptions of the parts of her body ripped into by an assault rifle at close range, and the camera cuts to Buster, blank-eyed, snacking on sunflower seeds. And the fact that NOBODY was willing to give a victim impact statement for Maggie (not even her sister) or Paul; there's something really wrong in this family.
Alex has them all fooled that’s why. He’s a master manipulator. Even when all the evidence is stacked against him there are still people that think he didn’t do it, including his and Maggie’s families. Really crazy when you think about it
@@dandychiggins9028 Think about your own family: we all have a few liars and cheats tucked in there somewhere, but we know it. And if you look at the Murdaughs through the generations you can see lying and cheating is part of the culture. The women who marry in know it too, but they all toe the party line. Just like Paul's friends on the boat knew he was an alcoholic abusive jerk, but his place was like a play ground and everybody in the circle shared in the rewards in one way or another. Remember that Maggie texted her friend, "He's up to something." Who says that about someone they love and trust? And her sister regretted encouraging her to go to Moselle. They all knew danger lurked around the corner and AM wasn't to be trusted.
What if the second shooter was a buster?
What if he was the one who hid Alex's gun and clothes?
What if he lied about being at the girl's house 200 miles from the crime scene at the time?
My mom passed away almost 12 years ago from a very brief illness at almost 70...I STILL cry over those last moments thinking about them.. my throat feels swollen and swallowing is hard.... his mother was blasted to pieces by a murderer, he's listening to the description of her last living moments which were gruesome and violent.. and he's EATING.. sunflower seeds! Don't anyone give the lame bull$#!t excuse if denial..or grieving differently!
....😑😑🙄🙄
@@dandychiggins9028 valid points, but gou'd think Buster might at least wait to eat! I think he is his dad's mini-me, both physically and mentally. 😮
It must be astounding to be Alex sitting there remembering what you did while an expert easily describes exactly what happened.
He got all choked up, which tells me he was reminded of the whole process. Truly evil
I’m not totally convinced Alex is the “shooter” at this point!
I cannot believe he would shoot his wife FOUR TIMES and then switch to a shotgun and shoot his own son TWO TIMES to blow his brains all over the place!!!
I do believe he could have HIRED A KILLER to kill his wife but NOT HIS SON!
🤔
@@adonyisrael1724... Why not?
I think if he killed his son first then it’d be easy to kill the wife if Paul was shot first he wouldn’t be able to save his mom or run
I keep thinking the exact same thing
Been in law enforcement 20 years. One of the best expert witness testimonies I have ever seen.
He did excellent testifying on the Stauch case also.
Dr. Kinsey was nothing short of brilliant. He was immediate with his responses and there was no stumbling.
The jury's going to be able to tell if somebody is all about the facts or they're being paid.. we know this guy is all about the facts. 👏
He sure was.👍
Fantastic witness.
Did the ATV run over her leg?
@@angelawhite209 I believe he said she was not run over. From what it sounded like is that she might have leaned into it or bumped into it.
The standard of witnesses and experts in this whole trial has been exceptional.
I think so too.
I've enjoyed watching these fine people and felt their devastation as the truth about their former colleague and friend unraveled.
I agree 💯
Money talks.
@CerealBoomer Have you been watching a different trial? The prosecution has nothing that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he did the murders. That's why they have had to drag in everything else.
Yes yes yes
It’s nice to see this man so good at his job, being helpful, and engaged in his chosen profession.
Does anyone else get the feeling that every single highly skilled related professional in the state has been summoned to put up the best fight to end to Mr Murders reign? This guy is the TRUTH.
I agree. The state is really throwing its best into this fight for justice.
Let's all hope this Extream Justice Team prevails
Yeah murda is his name
That is because the Murdaugh family are very powerful in that area of the state.
@@Maddiehere89 The family is very influential and a strong case must be presented to have justice for Paul and his Mother. Interesting presentations with precise, factual information. Is the death penalty being considered ? Does Buster realize he may be incriminate due to previous knowledge about his Dad's intentions?
I'm impressed. These are some of the most educated witnesses I have ever listened to. They go above the norm
There’s big $ in expert witness testimony. They high body language coaches, stylists all sorts of experts to maximize their case
@@GenericScreenName808 Thank you for the reminder. Of course, money. Groan.
Really agree. He explains pedagogically. Wish they had made a 3D movie on this too. But the best witness so far.
This was an outstanding witness.
He must have flunked 4th grade grammar. "had went, had came, had ran"....terrible grammar for anyone.
Both Paul and Maggie would have seen who shot them. I cannot imagine the horror of the last few minutes of their lives. That man is a monster. All of his fake crying makes me sick.
He’s wiping his eyes but there’s no tears.
Head down nodding, fake sniffing, no tears. Evil dead blackeyes. The only real emotion he has is feeling scared he will get guilty verdict.
I mean I dont wanna call him a monster. If anything he is sick, possibly from all the drug he had done. If anything I feel bad for him
@@lilsamantha1...Maggie and Paul knew what he was just didn't think he'd turn on them. Sad but true.
Murdering your wife and son as mercilessly as he did definitely makes him a monster. @@lilsamantha1
Dr. Kinsey was an extremely strong witness for the prosecution...very educated and very thorough too.
Absolutely knows what he is doing. Facinati
Fascinating info.
Describing a bullets trajectory doesn't convict the accused.
I get a clear picture of the scene, and what happened, but not who did it. He was an informative witness, but, not a "strong witness for the prosecution*.
@@ZacchaeusNifong he wasn’t brought on to convict AM. He was brought on to fully describe the crime scene. He’s not giving his opinion on who killed them, just the timeline of the actual shooting
This gentleman was most definitely very, very well trained and knowledgeable and was very good explaining how everything happened. I really liked him and got a clear understanding of what happened and how it happened. What an excellent testimony he gave today! Bravo!
If I only had the money to hire this expert witness to examine my son and all of the evidence when he was killed 3 years ago perhaps I would know the truth of what happened to him when he died 3 days before his 54th birthday in Sherman, Texas….a city who has, obviously, little to no money to spend on investigating these kinds of things. The only person that was investigated was the woman to whom he had been married for 20 months at the time he died. My son was a Certified Public Accountant and owned his own accounting firm. Collin County would no even perform an autopsy on my son because they said he died in a hospital even though when the police and EMTs arrived, he had sustained a wound from a .45 caliber hollow point bullet in his head…and if you think that was not almost impossible for me to “type”, you are not a parent….he was transported to the local hospital’s ER and was there until he was intubated, put on a respirator in the ICU where was kept alive for approximately 24 hours. There were text messages found on my son’s phone from his “wife” where in July she threatened to “blow your brains out”…6 weeks later that seems to me exactly what happened…and, as I said, because his heart stopped beating in the hospital, they wanted $2,000 to perform an autopsy. I have not even heard from the “detective” in about 2 years…2 years! If I had MONEY I might know what actually happened to my sweet, smart, caring oldest son. Money might not buy happiness but it sure can help you pay doctors, attorneys, and investigators to find out what happened to your child when they die way before their time because NOBODY is going to help you for free because no one else loves your child like you do.
@@nancycurtis488 Nancy I’m so sorry to hear this. This is shameful. Did they try to say it was a suicide or what? It sounds like something I’ve seen too many times, the spouse marries for money and kills to get all of it. I’m a mother and I’m so sorry to hear this and how much you are suffering. May your son rest in peace.
You don’t think this cop was a slacker?
J/k he took every class and certification possible
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for wording that so well!

You can tell this man is accustomed to teaching because he just naturally explains things in a detailed and meticulous manner. He is perfect for a witness on crime scene evidence. The prosecutor in this case has had amazing forensic, pathology and crime scene testimony. Whew! I wouldn't want to be the defense for this one.
I agree. Dr. Kinsey helped the jury and everyone else understand exactly what he was saying. He’s a brilliant man who comes off like a regular guy. I love that!
That's what I was thinking..... He seems to be a practiced teacher, and it really helped a lot
@@kimma508 Nahh. A Walden ' Ph.D.' isn't exactly an impressive academic pedigree. He's trying, though...
@@barneyronnie I wouldn’t downplay the amount of stuff he’s accomplished in his life. Walden or not most people don’t get anywhere near all that schooling, experience and expertise in their life.
@@kellyandkidsx1546 Indeed, he was definitely a go-getter with sufficient education and experience to be of value to the prosecution. It's just that as a mathematical physicist, I had the pleasure of learning from and interacting with many true geniuses; some of whom were Nobel Laureates in chemistry and physics. It's disappointing that fewer and fewer talented students pursue mathematics, physics and other sciences. One final note: there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics due to indiscretions by Nobel's wife and an unknown, amorous mathematician 😁. The highest award in mathematics is the Fields Medal, which is awarded every four years to the mathematician(s) who have obtained groundbreaking and often amazing results. I suppose that I am a bit miffed that studying CSI tends to have a romantic and exotic appeal that attracts a number of mathematically talented students. As a proselytizer of math & physics, this and a number of other (exotic) areas of study leave a dearth of American sons/ daughters who become dedicated scientists/ mathematicians.
The fact that the shots were so close and neither Paul nor Maggie tried to run, leads me to believe this was someone they trusted. What happened to them is just horrific and heartbreaking🥺
So Maggie saw her son being killed before she was shot? If so, that’s so horrific.
It's so sad and the looks on their faces I'm sure was complete Shok.
Let it be a lesson to all of us.
Trust No one. Look what your own family can do to you.
Murder you.
Alex said that he and Paul fired a couple guns earlier on the 7th. Did the police find those bullets or shells and compare them with the murder scene shells?
I am still unclear as to how it could’ve been anybody other than Alec. I mean who would have known that this boy was in this room in the dark at that time of night, and then know where the mother is as well it’s just very strange.
Dr. Kinsey is extremely thorough, intelligent, and a fantastic expert witness. Absolutely BRILLIANT man!
If I was charged with something this horrific and I didn't do it, I'd be screaming and rolling on the floor in despair at the description of what happened to the people I loved. I can NOT imagine listening to that. While he does exhibit some emotion, I can't understand how he isn't just devastated?!?
But someone who is traumatized by the idea of it, wouldn't do what Alex did to his child and wife. This was just 2 birds with 1 stone for Alex Murdaugh.
Agree. But this is a year later. Even so. I’d be crying the whole trial. He’s torn between acting enraged and acting despair. For people who have lost someone in a tragedy, like myself, it’s easy to do either at any time. We can’t control when those hit, but either rage or despair happens. Dude doesn’t have either.
Edit. His crying hits at times. But him sitting there the real sadness isn’t there. Not real sadness he should have
Hi it’s 7 months later answering you, my apologies. Alec had to maintain his composure so as not to look “disturbed” or menacing. I’m not convinced that he committed this crime, as the OnStar information came in the same week as his trial. It shouldn’t have taken so long. Also, the original guns used in the murders were never found. Being a liar n a thief doesn’t make 1 a violent criminal.
SOCIOPATH
It's awful to see the defence team try to stop the prosecutor from exposing the expert's qualifications. He is their worst nightmare because the jury will trust his evidence.
He had to emphasize his stellar background because they are going to try to make forensics out to be incompetent like the dream team did with police in the oj trial. They have no other chance.
The defense (and the defendant) look exactly like the corrupt 'good ol boys' that they are. It's hilarious watching the judge shutting their bs down left and right 😂
Disrespectful also
Agree. Mrs. Proctor (by the way) , Maggies sister asked mr. bobblehead : "did maggie suffer" ... and red-ripper said: No. Well, another lie . But it does not matter anymore. He is a abomination of a human being.
Absolutely are running roughshod over the defense, especially today during such vital testimony. I thought he was really pushy with the female forensic expert today. Did anyone else wonder why the prosecution didn't object to at least put a brake on the flow? She looked intimidated to me.
the way he says "yes sir I do" is great! he was another one who's testimony was just great. extremely thorough and you can tell he has tremendous respect for both victims and for what he does.
I agree! He is so professional and so darn likeable I wouldn't be surprised if he were offered his own TV show. Very impressed.
Definitely a passion for what he does while being empathetic
His energy was just wonderful. One of those people you know right off the bat they're an exceptional human being. ❤️
Welcome to the South 😁 yessir yes ma'am
One of the best experts I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched hundreds of these trials.
Love how Buster is able to be back there eating candy and looking dimwitted while everyone is viewing graphic photos of his mom and brother. I think there's more to Buster's story and whereabouts then what has been told.
He is cut from the same cloth his dad is from. Cold and calculated. He should not be allowed back into law school for cheating. Doesn't that go against everything of being a lawyer?? Buster can go open a online Ginger service. The whole family thinks the world owes them. What I can't figure out is why Alex only borrowed significant money from partners and friends. He has his family and brothers with significant wealth and generational wealth.

I'm curious how much he stands to inherit at this point.
@@syzygyfarm It depends on how much Alex has squirrelled away and if they find it. I think the reason he says he was spending 50k a week (or whatever it was) on oxy is a massive exaggeration/attempt to hide assets.

I agree.
Good!! I hope he relives it every moment of a everyday he has left on this earth
I'm with you 100% Alex is reliving his crime over and over again.
Your comment and those that commented are as empathetic as a rock!
Does anyone else find it very disturbing/weird or even odd that as The Dr’s describing the details/reenactments of how both victims were shot, body placements and the horrific photographs / images of the crime scene / post mortem images as well as his expertise/own versions , etc..? How both AM and his living Son sitting in the courtroom were chewing gum during his entire testimony? As well as not a single tear drop shed , from what I’ve noticed. A particular female sitting back behind AM on the defense side who throughout the trial was smiling, laughing, odd behavior and mannerisms that not anyone else were exhibiting. I’ve even zoomed in and replayed it several times to see on it all. Even slow mode and pausing. Son looking forward at the re enactments/expert/photographs the entire time all the while chewing his gum. Only AM looked down, away a few times. That was the wife of AM’s children, son as well as the mother and brother ( full details) who didn’t die immediately and brutally murdered! First time I’ve seen a child able to, let alone want to stay in the courtroom during the entire trial. Especially when they are called as a witness in a double murder. This case is beyond sad, shocking, disturbing to me. My thoughts are with the family / friends / community/LEO’s /crime scene experts on/off scene of the victims who truly cared and loved them, wanting to see Justice prevail for them! This is all my personal opinions on all above. J/S
I could listen to Dr Kinsey all day. Ironic that such a lovely voice is describing such abhorrent details. 😔

He is a Southern gentleman. I know that sounds corny, but it's how he was raised.
@@suzanneflowers2230 Alex too is a Southern gentleman
@@USABeauboy 😆
What is more disturbing is the subject matter and how you can listen to it all day!! It's FRIGHTENING
The fact that Dr. Kinsey has his work peer reviewed just shows his professionalism and care for his work. He was so objective and fascinating. I learned so much. I feel so sorry for Paul and Maggie. They must have been so scared seeing their “loved one” in front of them ready to kill them. Absolutely brutal and heartless
I think that's why he did head shots, he really wanted then to die right away. Maggie in the back of the head right? so probably snuck up on her. Paul must have came to see out of the dog food room and saw dad standing there
@@mwoods4608 They never gave a reliable answer on who's brown hair tuft was found in Maggie's hand nor who's DNA was found under her nails. They did say it was not family. Then also, two guns. It seems like they left out some proofs. They did prove he was a liar and thief but it was about murder.
agreed but one caveat; ALL experts have work peer reviewed. This really means nothing, as anyone can have work "reviewed" but the question is, what those reviews find. This is something people say but it merely means, people looked at his work. Now if they use it and cite it in OTHER works, then maybe it's worth noting. People need to be careful trusting either side in a courtroom when they choose their experts. Some experts are not that expert like this guy. But yes the guy knows his stuff and is very personable and perfect for this testimony in all its gruesome details.
Karma . He killed Mallory and she killed Gloria. Whole fam was evil
@@andrabcool1600 They did say the hair in her hand was her own. When the bullet hit her, hair was blown off and when she landed in the grass it landed in her hand or something along those lines.
After Paul’s first shot to the arm and chest, I wonder was he able to talk at that point? I can only imagine if he was he had to have thought dad accidentally discharged that shotgun and would soon get him help. I can’t imagine the fear he felt when he saw dad raise that shotgun and take aim at his head. This is about as evil as it gets. Alex Murdaugh is the worst type of human ever.
And the mother witnessing it.
When dr Kinsey said Paul stood there for a while after being shot. I can imagine him talking to his Dad. Asking him what was he doing. The complete horror when his own Dad drew the gun and shot him again to finish him off.
I bet he wasn't smiling like he was when that young girl died on his boat.
@@milo04 that’s really stupid to say
Alex is, in fact, NOT the smartest guy in ANY room.
Haha absolutely. Haughty, spoiled, entitled, selfish, manipulative and truly evil…born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The most important things in life can’t be bought sold or bartered. This man took his free will and decided to take from everyone he could…manipulate…deceive….and in my opinion ultimately murder. You will know them by their fruit.
Probably got thru law school on his Grandfather & Dads coat tails!!!! Trust me, that can happen! $$$ TALKS!!
Not even in the tool shed!
He was very cunning and manipulative.
He thinks he is!
I'm beyond impressed by this man's accomplishments and expertise. His speech, knowledge and candor definitely makes him a relatable and great teacher. Wow 👏
Also he love his job and is proud of it rightfully so.
I was thinking the same. I’d love to have a family member like him to teach me all he knows.
Gotta agree
As experienced and well trained with honorable and very impressive degrees, he is so humble and seems like a down to earth and very intelligent gentleman.
Excellent testimony! What a tragedy? As a mother, I wonder who was shot first? Imagine someone shooting your own kid no matter what kind of kid Paul was! & as a Mom you are left helpless & unable to help him?. Then the same monster turns on you & fatally shoots you! This case is so SAD.
I think he shot Paul, and Maggie saw or heard, turned and started running.
They think Paul was shot first and Maggie was running away.
AM is a MONSTER'
At first I was worried & concerned about Buster wellbeing , but his lack of emotions, is of another level. The guy shows no sign of empathy, arrogantly chewing on the gum, while the specialist was demonstrating how his Mom & little Bro were killed is very disturbing! He seems to be so *COLD*
@@starofthesea203 I thought the very same thing. Nonchalantly chewing his gum while the expert described the fatal injuries to his mother and brother. As for Alex, there was absolutely no sign of grief when the injuries to Maggie were being described. I zoomed in. No tears. Just fake sniffling every now and then. Pure evil!
Buster sat there eating something while they were explainng his mother's wounds. A family with no shame or conscience.
This expert is extremely knowledgeable and explains well. I like his animation as he explains.
I think it has to be extremely difficult for those defense attorneys sitting beside AM bc they absolutely know he executed his own child and wife in cold blood
It's probably not their first time.
Don't be so sure about that 🧐
Unfortunately, that's their job. I mean, they're used to it. They know that these people are murderers and scum bags, but a rare few aren't. Innocent until proven guilty. Someone has to be their lawyer. This is our law system. Unfortunately, sometimes, some that are actually innocent are sentenced.
And their challenge is to get Alex free to go finish off Buster.
Stalked them and cold bloodedly slaughtered them. That is a type of evil that is worse than a serial killer because these are family, the son being his own flesh and blood.
Imagine sitting there " knowing " you killed your own son & wife and listening to the details & seeing the photos , you would have to be one sick person to do this .
short: psychopath
What an absolutely fabulous and credible witness for the state!
The sadness has really begun to resonate deeply in me at this point. The last seconds of Paul's life and Maggie's life of how they were standing, bleeding and dying. It's so surrealistic.
Traumatic and heartbreaking.💔
You marry money and status, never show any interest in what your hubby is up to then this happens. Alex is a psychopath. So are his sons. Chris Watts, just more status within the community.
I agree. I just cannot begin to imagine the fear and confusion Paul and Maggie were feeling as their supposed protector was killing them and they looked into his eyes. Alex Murdaugh is pure evil!
While Paul has already been shot in chest, he walked to the door entrance then saw his dad’s face before his dad blew his head off.. Maggie running to see what is happening to Paul, but is met by her husband whom shoots her 5 times.. The last time being fatal while she is on her knees probably praying.. This is all very tragic.. When I meet my maker, I damn sure don’t want to see it coming!!
@@americanwoman9342 This makes me physically ill and terrified for what Paul and Maggie’s last seconds of life were like. As horrifying as it is, I feel like your description of events is how the prosecution needs to tell the jury how it all happened.
Hearing exactly how this wife and son were brutally murdered sounds so horrific and painful. I can't imagine them experiencing that, and knowing in their final moments on earth... the one person in the world they trusted most.. was capable of such evil, ending their lives for literally nothing is just unfathomable to me. Such a reckoning he will have the day he meets his maker.
Agreed just sooo incredibly horrific…..
@Jackie Johnson I wish I hadn't listened to so much detail. Haunts me. I can only imagine the visions he has to live with! I'm glad he will spend life in prison, reliving that every minute.
AM looks like he's gonna be sick.😰
could've walked away decide not to do it
IMO he felt he had good reason. Maggie was straying off the Mertaugh reservation, she was asking questions about where their money was, she was demanding he quit his opioids, and she has consulted a attorney (from out of town) about a divorce. Paul was just a problem all around. IMO he was a alcoholic. He was still functioning fairly well until he reached a certain point, at which time his whole personality changed. He became a mean drunk, Timmy, as his friends called him. He was in trouble legally and was probably facing some jail time. In addition, Paul’s behavior was getting Alex audited financially. His kingdom was falling down. To him, that probably looked like a pretty good reason to eliminate both of them. I don’t feel Alex meets the criteria of a family annihilator, except for the financial pressure. According to his friends and family , he seemed normal. IMO he shows signs of grief while the murders are being described. Plus, in the weeks following the deaths but before September 3, he seemed to show signs of a breakdown. Hie still had supreme confidence in his ability to get away with anything, but after he lost his law license his confidence may have slipped a bit. If he is a narcissistic sociopath he saw Maggie and Paul as extensions of himself. If they stopped being useful, they had to go.
Prosecution is doing an excellent job. He's guilty as sin.
I saw a comment elsewhere that the prosecution has not been doing a very good job. I’m with you. My thought is just the opposite. In my opinion, defense has not been doing a very good job of creating any reasonable doubt for the jury to consider.
I don’t think so but I do hope the jury feels the same as you
@@basicallyno1722 I know, right! I think the prosecution team has done a great job eliciting "evidence" and truth in this circumstantial case. But it may all depend on who is the best orator in the finals. They may be good at 'shaking the snow globe' and concocting doubt. That's all they need, is one doubter, right?
They're
I don't see where the evidence shows he is guilty.
This doctor is amazing. I have already listen to this once today when it was live. Now I am watching it again just to hear him explain everything again. He is brilliant, honest, interesting and likable. Just the total opposite of the monster who sits in court today.
Me too.
When watching Live we don't get to see the exhibits that the jury sees as they're listening to the witness. Watching it again now brings it all together even more impressively. Excellent witness.
I’m watching his testimony again, he should be a top professor in this field. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏so sad to watch too😢😢
I said the same thing! So so likeable and professional. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him offered his own TV show
Oh shut up
Dr. Kinsey is exceptional. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but his delivery and explanations are excellent and captivating. He is extremely thorough and absolute genius.
This expert witness nailed Alex! He knows exactly what happened to Mother and son. What an evil dad!
Facts 💯
Nah.. these are his opinions after looking at the evidence.. the jury will have their own opinions after looking at the evidence. At this point Alex Murdoch is innocent until proven guilty.. that comes when those twelve individuals render a verdict
🎯💯
One of the best expert witness testimonies I've heard. He really knows how to describe a scene and scenario in way that's easy to understand and visualize
This is a defining quality of a good teacher.
Factsss
@@theundergroundjuicenyc9539 dr ellen riemer was better she smarter than this dude
To see Alex sitting there looking at those photos, calmly chewing gum, showing absolutely zero emotion (not until over half way through) as the witness described the horrific injuries to his supposed beloved wife and son is disturbing!
I know everyone grieves differently, but there is no way you could show ZERO emotion listening to this; and I’m sure the jury took that into account as well.
Buster as well.
I agree my granddaughter and unborn baby girl was killed by Colton Willard when he while in a fit of rage jerked her steering wheel . May 11th this year will make 5 years and I still grieve and if I allow myself to think of her injuries what she experienced or was she afraid as she laid there dying almost makes me insane like uncontrollably screams wants to come out like they did that night . I only was able to get somewhat under control with people holding me praying with me and seeing my other grandchildren thinking they don't need to see or hear my wailing. Shock of unexpected tragedy is totally different than when you are at bedside knowing they are dying which is hard enough. Nothing I'd wish on my worst enemy and I don't even have the heart to pray death upon Colton Willard but I did want him punished . He got 5 measley years reckless and fetal homicide and only spent 22 months of that . He never was sorry he would stare at us in the courtroom like as if to say I did it and you couldn't stop me . He's reason he didn't want a fu&king girl as earlier that day they found out it was going to be a girl that's what he said as he walked out of the Drs office. Witnesses heard it all .
@@10sherra I am so very, very sorry for your loss 😭. If my daughter and granddaughter were killed and I was the one to find them, the police would have to sedate me to pull me from them; yet Alex Murdaugh stood there calmly waiting for the police and immediately began directing their attention away from himself!
Wow. Dr. Kinsey is great. And not many "experts" have their analysis peer reviewed before a final report is generated or used in court. I have no doubt now that Alex did this. It's awful to think of what poor Maggie went through that night. Tried to get away and was hunted down like a dog. This guy is beyond evil, man. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with this dude.
Yeah there is.....a 50,000 dollar a week opiate addiction. Takes away all your empathy. He's beem numb to this world for years and years. Was easy for him to execute his wife and son in cold blood.
Hunted down like a HOG
Drugs
Drugs were an excuse. He is a narcissistic psychopath.
The “tares” always manifest who they really are, in someway shape or form!
I can’t even look at Alex anymore, he’s so full of it. His fake actions at that table. Guilty as sin!!!! He doesn’t fool me.
Lol hm
This would just send me over the edge as a parent. My child means everything to me. Amazing how calm he is.
He's a monster
yes ...crazy to think he thought killing them would make his life easier. Oh what a tangled web we weave!
He can't really feel emotional cuz he did it he already knew what transpired and shows how unremorseful he is.
Maggie’s injuries were overkill for sure.
Alex probably felt a lot of rage toward Maggie, he probably blamed her for the financial stuff, his type never takes responsibility for his actions. "Your over spending made me steal". Never mind the money Alex was spending.
Hated is wife for years. Poor Maggie.
I think he rammed her with the Polaris, too.
Wonder who the male DNA was under her nails? Affair? Wouldn't blame her...
@@barbarachieppo9603 that’s the first I’ve heard!! Did someone testify about it? I missed it.
There is seriously something wrong with Buster. Sat there casually chewing something while listening to how his brother and mother were brutally murdered. No sign of any sadness, anger, loss etc. It’s just not normal in any respect. What was his alibi?
Ive read a lot about this case as well as the family history and think there is seriously something wrong with the whole family
They’re all killers in that family. Buster has shown no emotion. Very very scary and telling
He's probably trying to stay under the radar since there may be another murder that he is connected to. The young man found in the road dead
I wouldn't be surprised if Buster turned out to be the second shooter
Oh I think that too
My goodness 😵🥺💔How can anyone do this to someone let alone your wife and child 😔!! I pray their souls have found peace
So do I.🙏🙏
Straightforward, genuine and educated. What a great witness.
I personally think that Paul took the first shot like a champ....turned, walking toward the shooter (possibly his father) either in an attempt to defend himself or seeking help. I don't think the shooter expected this, started to back out out the room, and tripped backwards possibly falling down onto his ass, causing the second shot to come from such a low angle.
That makes sense 😮
Good point
That crazy that was my first thought, my guess was that Paul was shoot the second time and the fatal shot with Alex flat on his back just outside the doorway. That’s the only way that shotgun could have been fired so low to the ground with that upward trajectory. During that testimony they never went in that direction and I was about to scream at my TV.
Bingo! That was my first thought also. As Dr. Kinsey described the blood pattern showed Paul slowly moving towards the door, I could just hear Paul asking his father In shock “Why?” 🥺
Yes! I was surprised they didn’t have the expert discuss why that second shot may have come from that angle. If Alex had fallen it also gave Maggie a little time to likely start running. I can’t imagine the horror of what she saw before she died.
You can see by the look on Alex’s face that he’s reliving everything that’s being said and explained.
He did it, they got the right monster!
Alex's face is so chilling when they show it.
If he didn’t do it, he would be sobbing in pain seeing these photos…..
The Alex is a sheer psycho!
Do we know why Alex did this?
And, Murdaugh says, "Holy crap, it's like this guy was watching me kill my wife and kid!" This witness, as well as the others, is thorough, credible, believable, understandable, clear. I pray that they are able to put this monster away. He deserves no leniency nor mercy, as he didnt offer any to his 'supposedly' loved family. He harbored latent anger against his wife and son, and saw them as being in the way of his drug addiction, and costing him money (the boating case). Narcissistic sociopaths act ONLY for their own benefit or perceived survival. There is NEVER anything more important than their selfish motives.
Is he up for death penalty?
I wish he'd tell us exactly what he did...
He's going to try to blame it on the pills.
I agree. Paul ( little detective) come across his father's pills, told his mother, & she confronted that monster. Not sure if they found out about him stealing money from his clients and freind or not at this stage??
. He didn't want his dream life interrupted . Such an evil man. Rest in peace Miss Maggie and Paul. I'm so sorry .😓💔
@@mtaylor7307 drugs make people do horrible things. I bet if he wasn’t doing drugs this would not have happened 😢
And the tears he did happen to squeeze out was the realization of what he did to his son and wife along with him realizing he got caught. He's guilty AF. IMO
He’s ice cold
The way the defense team tried to stop the prosecution from detailing how qualified of an expert Dr. Kinsey is 🤣🤣 This is like watching "Liar, Liar" ... "Objection, your Honor! This man's expertise and testimony is going to be devastating to my client's case!" 😂💀
So, it seems as if Paul had a few short moments to look at his DAD and ask "why"?😔😢So so sad
And dad looking back,I had no choice,,in his eyes.
The feed room? This couldn't get any sadder. Possibly only 1 exit? I can't even imagine. Alex is not a man he is a pathetic monster. If I had not heard all his lies I might be straddling the fence
Sadly many men are taught that the ends justify the means, but just aren't ever pushed to the extreme where they act out.
Read what a sociopath is. Read what a narcissist is. Alex wanted everyone to think highly of him. He said he had the best in-laws, that says if he was a bad person his in-laws wouldn't be nice to him, a sociopath has no empathy for anyone But Themselves.
I was until todays witness
A lier is a thief,
, a THIEF a murdurer.
I would have to be heavily medicated to sit and listen to someone describe this happening to my child.. my God. 💔
The fact that Paul was shot at close range and did not have his arms up tells me that the person who shot him is someone he was comfortable with. Instinctively, a person will defensively put their arms up or turn and run. As a mom, Maggie would have shielded Paul, but she clearly saw he was mortally wounded, knew he was beyond help and tried to save herself.
If that happened to MY CHILD and I saw him like that, I would not want to save myself. I'd just let him kill me. But that's just me.
@@tdpooh1972 Morgan Paul’s ex girlfriend said that Maggie wasn’t motherly or loving towards Paul. Their family was fucked on many levels. Wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if she ran to save herself. None of them are innocent.
@@tdpooh1972 that is what most mothers would do, but this is a v strange family. They have zero regard for any lives but their own. Baiting wild animals to kill, while leaving dogs locked up in small cages for the majority of their lives is despicable. They all look like an old time puppet named Howdy Duty that my grandmother would talk about when she saw a freckled, orange haired child When hunters become the hunted, I wonder if they see the irony during their final seconds.
We got a professional over here boys! Where did you get your degree if I may ask?
@@LK-the-queen lol, would love to hear prosecution use that, "but this family was so 🤬 up...." 😂
I do NOT see how Buster can sit there even thinking his dad could have killed his brother & mother! I hope Alex hears & sees his wife & son for the rest of his life!
@Brandon Lynch one name Steven Smith.
Im hoping they HAUNT him!
Buster is also a murderer.
Buster is there because he feels compelled. In his heart he needs to know what happened and make his own conclusions. Did dad actually do this? Well, this is not easy for this young man to endure. Tough times.
@@USABeauboy wasn’t buster the first one in the family to murder someone in cold blood?

Dag I'm appalled in how Maggie was shot down like she was an animal. It was an overkill for her. So sad. My heart feels so heavy. And Alex is over there gritting his teeth and shaking his head. May everyone involved get what they deserve for this. Smh
And her sister said Maggie was happy. Strange family
I agree, and both were executed. I think his main target was Maggie, but he got Paul to go inside the shed where he was trapped so he was killed first, I think. Either he didn’t want any witnesses to her murder or he killed his own son because of the boat case. I think he felt both were enemies to him.
@@NARCDELUSION Didn't they say Maggie was in the process of getting a divorce. A happy person doesn't get a divorce.
@iamthatiam9135 That's what I want to know as well. Let me know who they is, because I don't know who said that. No divorce attorneys come forth. Not sure what was up with the sister's testimony, cause both Maggie and Paul were always playing detectives to search for AM pill stash.
@@iamthatiam1618
I heard that too, and she was complaining about lack of money. She only had $58.00 in her bank account, the rest of her estate of over $4 million is in real estate. Also, there was to be a hearing on the boat case on June 10th because that pos was lying about being broke and the hearing was to complete him to cooperate with Mallory Beach’s lawyer, Mark Tinsley. You all need to go watch his defense lawyers question him…Mark was absolutely brilliant!
Surprises me that this family with all their wealth, didn’t invest on a few security cameras on the property !
After receiving so many threats (according to them)after the boat accident, their priority should have been security, but it obviously was not.
The doctor is knowledgeable, cooperative, respectful and humble during his presentation, very helpful to the case.
Facts! 💯🎯
If Alex cried as much as he pretends to he would have swollen blood shot eyes 😳
It's probably all he can muster as a psychopath.
That's my opinion only if I did somthing terrible like that I would not be even able to listen all of that. I would say stop .enough. .I do not know how he can seat. And listen all of that. Never I will understand. Cold blood? Or some other problems ge has? I hope he can get what he deserves. And he was laughing at the hard working men that took care of his dogs.he thinks he is above humble people? He is not human in my eyes. How you can kill your wife yoyr child? Never get that. In my opinion
@@eva1480 he's a narcissistic sociopath.
Just horrible! May justice be served!
Amen 🙏
Justice is an eye for an eye, always.
you can see it all over Alex’s face.. he looks guilty, he is guilty, I doubt he didn’t kill them.. it’s so heartbreaking knowing he deliberately grabbed guns, and purposely shot his wife and son and they had no chance to run… and yet he has the audacity to sit there and admit he stole all that money, but not admit that he killed his wife and son? He’s a psycho.
I can guarantee that if I was accused of killing my family and I didn’t do it I’d be freaking out crying and screaming every single day during trial not being able to sit there or function or keep my composure and plead that I cannot would not and did not kill my family. They would have to tranquilize me for me to calm down. I also feel that anyone else would do the same if they’re not guilty of such a crime
Alex never cries a tear. He’s only dismayed because he’s been caught, and he’s going to prison for the rest of his life, knowing that he executed his family.
He fakes a few tears. It took a lot of effort or he’s using a chemical to make tears
@@gutenbird I think he does shed a few tears when they discuss subjects like his wife's wounds-- the guy stole five million dollars from his youthful client...and wasted it all on drugs...at $50K a week...he is a snake.... period!!

@@gutenbird Ikr lol ... 7k a day on down 🤭😆😆 , even if he was paying 100 dollars a pill and taking two per hour it still wouldn't even be half the amount he claims. Maybe he was remarkably indebt to his dealers and was paying interest 🤷
The fact that buster had zero emotion during the entire trial is very concerning
I can't believe he was chewing gum. If I was his lawyer I would have instructed him to spit it out into a tissue.
Grief and denial effects everybody differently. He’s definitely still in denial based on his recent interview. I honestly feel bad for him, he lost his entire family. Hopefully he can have somewhat of a good life going forward.
Most likely because he knows what happened. And he’s on his fathers side

Thank you, Sir.

@barneyronnie Sorry they are boring you...lmbo You're kinda stupid.
I can’t get enough of Dr. Kinney’s accent. He has the most perfect southern accent. I’ve been told I have southern accent so I probably have a similar accent to Dr. Kinney to other people but to me we sound different Lol I was born in North Carolina but raised in Alabama from age 2. I hope my thoughts don’t come across as inappropriate. I just enjoyed his accent and it really helped take away from the heaviness of his testimony.
I want to say Dr Kinney has been an excellent witness and very clear and concise. I could listen to him all day and never get bored. He’s has a way of keeping the listener engaged.
Some southern accents are truly horrible to listen to and understand. His isn’t. Sounds friendly.

@@Monica-gene1 I think Paul had that drawly accent
Brilliantly brilliant brilliant !!! Ty sir for your service to your work. He brought so much to Maggie and Paul deaths.
This is the most impressive expert I've seen so far in the many homicide trials I've watched. A clear narrative without any stumbling or misgivings. As a student of forensic science and crime scene investigation I would like to have seen the actual crime scene and autopsy photos shown to the jury to put into physical context what Doctor Kinsey is describing, Damaging testimony for the defence. If Alex Mardaugh is convicted, this evidence will have played an integral part in the end result.
Wow, I watch a lot of true crime videos but I have never heard someone give such detail as this man is giving. Very well educated. Wow!
Chief, doctor, professor Kinsey, whatever the title you give him, is pretty inspiring and an interesting individual. I like him a lot. Thanks for all you do!
This Doctor really knows his stuff!! Excellent expert witness !!
This just makes me sick to know what Alex murdaugh has done to so many people, they have died, he sat back and watch his housekeeper boys get kicked out of their home, because he stole their money, I just went on the internet and read everything about this case, I have been following this case for almost two years now and I still found out something new, unbelievable. I truly hope they follow up on Steven Smith case that young man death deserves to be brought to the light, and I also believe with the investigation that Buster is behind this murder.
From the way people describe the 2 brothers, Paul was a problem child from a very young age but not Buster. It seems more likely that Paul and his friends might have attacked Steven Smith to keep him away from Buster and damaging the family reputation.

If you followed closely Dr.Kinsey testimony, Paul walked towards the door after the first shot was fired at him. That tells us that he was not afraid of going in the directon where the first shot came from, knowing well the shot came from the direction of the door. In my opinion (as if anybody cares :)) couple of things that can be derived, from his action after the first shot: 1. He did not see the shooter at the door, as his posture inside the feed room is that, his right side (not his chest/abdomen area) was in the direction of the door. This indicates he was not paying attention to the door, and may have been busy looking at stuff in the direction of the side wall. 2. If he had seen the shooter, he would have panicked and been in shock, and avoided moving in the direction of danger. He would have taken cover within the clutter, inside the feed room. But, he moved towards the door. This gives a hint that, he did not see the shooter OR the shooter was someone he was familiar with(!?), that made him comfortable to move in the direction of the first shot, as he didn't think it was a danger. There is no way somebody would go towards the direction of danger, rather than immediately take cover in the opposite direction of danger. I would only assume, either he did not notice the shooter at the door, as he was facing the wall inside the room, and walked towards the door to find out who/what happened (of course in pain and shock) to take help. Or, he was familiar with the shooter, and did not suspect he will be shot again, and walked towards the shooter to take help. Last thing one would do is, go towards the direction of danger/shooter, unless they didn't see anybody in that direction or they were familiar with the shooter.
I'm curious on the shooting myself. I think Paul just did not notice the killer was there and was blindsided by the first shot, through the pain and shock his mind was basically on auto pilot of get me away from this room where the pain occurred. I genuinely don't think in his state he looked up to try and recognize anyone. What gets me the most is if he stumbled towards the doorway slow enough for the drops of blood to fall directly down, so not a run or falling out of the door, how does Alex have time to wait for him to get to the door, shoot again, then change weapons to shoot his wife. I guess I would assume maggie was close by to see the first shot happen then by the time the second shot happened she would probably be running away; however, their bodies were rather close to each other. Could there have been a second shooter? Did Alex have help? Someone to dispose of the evidence as he ran to his mother's house to give him a shot at an alibi?
@@dylana4717 Here's what may have happened. Remember, Alex was with them at 8.44 pm (thanks to the Kennel video that has never been denied by Alex or the Defese team). He would have shot Maggie first, while Paul was inside the feed room. Paul would not suspect anyway, as they always shoot hogs/turkey and other animals in that property. He must have thought it is his dad shooting one of those animals. Then, Alex came to Paul and Paul was not paying attention to the door. Alex shot Paul, moved to the side of the entrance and waited till Paul exited, and shot him again at the entrance. Even if Paul saw his Dad shoot the first shot at him, he would have been comfortable going in the direction of the door/dad, as he would have thought it was a mistake and didn't expect to be shot again. Or, if he didn't see Alex, he didn't expect anybody to shoot him again at the door, but, Alex was waiting on the side of the entrance, to shoot again.
@@rajaismail8490 I only have doubts on that timeline due to the two expert witnesses stating Maggie was shot in the leg and then the waste, so we would have to presume she made zero sound, no screaming, before falling to her hands and knees to be shot again, and then once more after she was presumed dead. I also can't help but wonder if the highly execution style of these killings hold importance. Maggie was presumed dead already as the third shot entered her brain, yet the kill shot the back of her head as she was on the ground. Paul getting his head practically blown off seems very gruesome as well. I wonder if it could imply paid hitman to guarantee death or someone that had been emotionally charged to want them dead. But returning to the topic I think Paul was killed first while maggie was perhaps letting dogs out on a last walk of the day, she heard shots and went to see what happened when the killer shot her. The only reason I suspect this is Maggie had particular way she ordered the dogs in each kennel and they were not in that order when the police showed up. So someone other than maggie returned the dogs.
@@dylana4717 The reason I think Maggie was shot first, is because, as a Mother if she saw or heard a gunshot where her son is, she would be screaming and running towards her son, no matter what extreme danger may confront her, trust me, a mother instinct to save her kid is unparallel to any courage in the world. And, to u r point that Maggie would have walked the dog may not be correct, as the frist responders did not see any dog out, if I understood you correct.

She did go running toward her son. Listen to the final speech by the prosecutor.
This whole case is so unfathomable yet here it is in cold hard facts. I'm a mama and I cannot imagine the pain that woman experienced in her last moments watching her youngest son have his head blown off by the man she gave her life to... I have no evidence to back this up but I think that she was walking away from the kennels when she hears the shotgun blast so she spins around in enough time to see the shot to Paul's head which I'm guessing triggered her to run towards her injured child at which point she was mowed down. Just heartless.
I agree entirely. she was a witness to the son’s murder and Alex had to kill her to remove a witness. It is horror and horrible, he is without doubt a sociopath.
Only he knows if Maggie saw what he did to their son. Maybe she didn't have time to see her son, and if she did, she probably didn't have time to comprehend what was happening before he started shooting at her.
I believe you are right! So many scenarios
At times I pray God to forgive me ,because I so wish I was never born into such evil world and I love and have compassion ,empathy ,I wish I was born into a better world, I love life and all ppl ,I just hate evil

Alex is a waste of oxygen 🤬 His feelings are shown all over his face. It ranges from rage, disbelief, pissed off because he got caught
Dr Kinsey’s resume is a novel! What an incredible list.
Every time Dr. Kinsey describes the injuries, Murdaugh stares ahead and seems to fade away as if he’s reliving the actions described by the doctor. Then he cries when he comes back to the present,
For sure
Wouldn't you be SHOOK if you're a student of Criminal Law and on the first day of your class, this guy enters and introduce himself as your professor.
Well I would be getting the best of the best.i bet if he has a class it's full a semester in the future.
