He was a good witness. Didn’t let Defense confuse him into saying what this info “could mean”, “would it be reasonable if ….” Smart witness. Just the facts sir.
The defense attorney Harpootian has one tactic and that’s it…try to confuse the jury. He is horrible. Just talks in circles and tries to make the witnesses and even the experts trip over their own words. Not to mention acting like he knows more than the experts. The first SLED agent wasn’t going to take any of it! He put Harpootian right in his place. I pray AM is convicted. There are NO other suspects.
How Many times does one person have to say "I'm not a doctor" ? This line of questioning was beyond badgering of a witness and also completely out of line. In what world are you trying to get a sled agent to testify to medical terms and documents he didn't prepare or able to really testify to other than to agree that those are the words on the paper. HE'S NOT A DOCTOR. GOOD GRIEF.
This case makes me really sad. Imagine losing your life at that dark lonely kennels in such a brutal fashion. Whether you like the family or not, it's just horrible.
Yes it is horrific, imagine if Alex really didn't do it as well. No justice whatsover. Nothing has proved he was guilty of murder; the only thing proven was he stole money from his firm for drugs use. How many stories are there out there about people, even family members that steal from loved ones, family for drugs and lie about it? People, get past your preconceived notion that he did it.

It will be a shame if this guy gets away with this. The only solace is that he’s in jail anyway for the financial crimes. He will probably get out at some point.
But the big difference between these charges and the financial charges is state prison vs. Federal prison. Federal prison (white collar/soft) is a cakewalk compared to state prison (mostly blue collar/hardened).
@@michellemichaud9296 3:42:24...a voicemail from Alex Murdaugh to Russell Laffitte dated 6/3/2021. Alex is requesting a $600,000 from the CEO of Palmetto State Bank. And says his "dad will sign also if needed". But, we all know his Dad was close to death and would not be of sound mind and body to be able to co-sign for a $6.00 loan much less a $600,000 loan. So, he was probably going to or did probably forge (pun intended) his Father's signature.
I saw him tell police he took his son's pulse. And then he told police his son didn't have a brain. Why would you take the pulse of someone who doesn't have a brain.
@@thenightporter Things were going great during his presidency, so apparently Trump has a brain. I wonder about you though. 😮. You must be happy with the horrid state of America now with potato Joe ? 😂
Alex the raging addict was unable to respond to questioning bc he was on Opiates, just as he had been for 20 years WHILE he practiced law and stole millions in his financial schemes, and barbiturates. But he was still competent enough to try and reach out to his accomplice to make sure there stories were straight 🤣😂This is comical by the defense at this point. Tell me they aren’t going down the route that he lied and created this story bc he was “incompetent.”🤣😂🤣
I wonder if the deleted calls from Alex to Maggie was Alex trying to locate Maggie’s phone?? For some reason…its just odd he deleted those calls from his call log?
@@fernandaolivares7926 most laughable example of this was when Harpootlian was attempting to “challenge” the crime scene expert who determined the exact details of the shootings…and he kept pulling out the shotgun, a yard stick, and kept questioning the calculations the expert had made. It was absolutely absurd and he looked like a fool. I pray the jury saw through that comedy routine.
@@lyndaczika6327 He did look like e fool! To me the worse one was him trying to tell the pathologist the bullet to the head came from the opposite directionand was a contact wound! And then yesturday yelling at the SLED agent because he is trying to explain you cannot just ask a doctor for a patients record! Which obviously Harpie knows very well...their whole strategy is to confuse the jury not to really contest the evidence...but I will say he has made me laugh with with his tantrums!
@@fernandaolivares7926 right. He figures if he tries to make everyone dizzy with his rambling and “word gymnastics” they will say something wrong. But the pathological was fantastic!!! She even said at one point “Look…” and then went on to explain her findings for the 50th time!!
Yes it could be from notifications, calls, when the phone is locked, it just means that it’s on a Lock Screen and that no one can access anything without a pass code, but even if the phone gets moved , let’s say the phone is laying down on a flat surface and someone picks the phone up and looks at it, the Lock Screen will illuminate. Another question being asked is about portrait screen to landscape screen, let’s just imagine that the phone is laying flat on the ground vertically, if someone was to pick that phone up and slide it into their pocket, it would allow the screen to go into a landscape view because of the way/angle of the phone has been positioned, the only time this wouldn’t happen would be if the phone had screen lock on which prevents the screen from turning with the angle of the phone’s current position.
@@lyndaczika6327 One male attorney for Amber was pretty good. His name was Rottenborn. But she had a lead council named Elaine Bretterhoft (I'm not sure how it's spelled.) and she was a mess! But ultimately, it was Amber herself who made them lose, in my opinion. She fake cried horribly without a single tear even once, and they had recordings of her admitting to hitting Johnny. There wasn't a single recording of her talking about him hitting her or abusing her in any way. She came off as very deceitful, while his testimony was very believable. His team of attorneys were the best I've seen. If you enjoy watching trials, you should watch that one. It kind of ruined me for other trials, haha. Subsequent trials I've watched seem a bit boring now.
Can we all agree guilty or acquitted or found innocent….he’s going to jail for life via the embezzlement/90+ financial crimes!? Yes I would love M & P to get justice but if it’s AM who indeed killed them….he’s forever in jail for the remainder of his life. If you ask me that’s the best cause for suicide.
I'm just catching up. Only on the 1st defense witness & I literally just spit my drink out of my mouth when the coroner said he checked their bodies by putting his hands in their armpits. SMH with the defense.
I heard nothing but, posturing and how strategic the defense team would perform. What a Joke! this attorney is just giving an alternate theory of what maybe, could've, would've, happened and asking very little that's relative to this expert. He asking the wrong questions to the wrong person. Is this the Tactic/Strategy?
In general, jurors will always have some doubt about the evidence the prosecution presents. The defense will always poke holes - that’s their job, but unless the doubt is beyond reasonable doubt, jury must vote to convict. The AM case has overwhelming evidence against the defendant. Jury should always look at the totality of the evidence presented to them. FACT - At the time AM says he was sleeping, he was actually at the kennels and then murdering his family.
In previous trials I've watched, everyone, even the judge, stands when the jury is going in and out. I guess maybe it's just the chosen way some courts do things. I really like this judge, though. I just looked him up. His son died recently on January 23rd of a blood clot in his heart. I can't imagine being able to sit there all day, every day after losing one of my kids. How heartbreaking. I guess it's better than sitting home with nothing to think about but your loss.
They keep talkin about that he wasn't in his right mind when he was in rehab well my thing is he's been in the courtroom for the last 15-20 years own them same drugs so that puts them into place where every case he tried needs to be gone back over because he wasn't in his right mind then either
Paul was looking at the shooter on the second shot. The shooter was outside the shed on the right side of the doorway, squatting up next to the shed. As soon as Paul looked the shooter pulled the trigger with the butt of the stock resting on the ground.
I am watching now and Vinny is plying the video several times and asking if Maggie is saying hey or Eddie. When they slow it down you can hear two syllables. Hey only has one syllable.
@Samantha Holland They just received this evidence brought out today from on star, kind of impossible to bring it first, if ya woulda listened to that fact highlighted today. Js
Can anyone tell me why all the sudden there is talk of a “direct verdict”??? What is that?..and why did the Judge mention this today as a “possibility”??
The prosecution can't ask for a directed verdict only the defendant can. It's almost like a formality. It rarely ever happens, but they'd be crappy lawyers if they didn't ask for it.
@@lyndaczika6327 Google results of “what is directed verdict”: A directed verdict is a ruling entered by a trial judge after determining that there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to reach a different conclusion.
@MichaelJ oh really???? Please tell me how that works? Let's talk that through. So, in a jury trial in a criminal case like we have here, imagine after hearing evidence the judge says, okay prosecutor I think you've proved your case, so forget the jury sitting there and the constitution, I judge you guilty. No, that's not how it works. Only the defendant could get a directed verdict. Think about it.
I will not be watching the defense "case" because Harpo is just a short Jabba the Hutt and Jim belongs in a Mutt and Jeff cartoon. I will however, be reading the commentary after as it is the best. Over and Law & Crime they're all for "Iliac" innocent. You can tell who Jabba the Hutt's spies are.
I cannot stand this defense team. They did their client zero favors with this jury. And I think it is hilarious that they are claiming that Alex was not competent to be interviewed due to him being medicated while in the hospital. They are ALSO saying he was taking 50 to 60 oxy per day prior to the side of the road shooting and functioning as a lawyer.
Sin duda es culpable, aunque El abogado defensor ESTA tratando de confundir Al jurado, y si, hasta con Uno's pocos minutos y distancia SE puede matar a dos personas, y tambien USAR diferente armas con TAL que las Tenga a Mano. Ojala SE haga justicia!!
Nobody could put a worse defense team together if they tried to assemble a bad team. These guys are the Bad News Bears of the legal world. None have a courtroom personality that connects them to the jury or spectators. All they do is try & confuse thinking the jury isn’t intelligent or have common sense & reasoning. I realize they are Proud 😳 to be defending the indefensible but for the amount of money they are being paid you’d expect much more.
He's the second I've heard say it that way. The other was in the Julie Jenkins murder trial. The state's expert pronounced it the same way, with a long "i."
If all the data information taken from the iPhones showing steps from each individual, is correct. Do you think 🤔 on day of the murders there was a side by side by the house, that would explain WHY there wasn’t any steps showing for Maggie, how she got to the kennels. Paul walked to kennel (283steps) 8:31pm leaves house. Alex & Maggie drove together to kennel ( side by side) Maggie had her phone with her No steps are showing cause she is riding. Alex left his phone at the house. Killing happened. Alex is so freaked out he starts running back home. Before entering house he removes shoe & clothes. Wipes hands or uses shirt for turning door knob. He takes a quick shower Enough to remove anything off hands,hair, and face. As he is ready to leave the house he makes sure to grab his phone. He realized he left the side by side which he drove with Maggie down there. He runs back to kennel (283steps) time 9:02-9:06 Rides side by side back to house.
I think he could have used a hose outside. From one of the comments, there was also a hose and drain in the shed they used to skin and clean animals, so maybe he washed off in there.
Poot just can’t win one with this Agents lol he tries over and over to mislead or confuse Agent Kelly unsuccessfully and then just gives up in frustration😅 AM defense is just lost!
Listen he was a chunky man at the time so the 283 steps between 9:02 to 9:06 at 70 steps it's faster than we've seen him move. It's sealed the deal for me💯 this is so very very very flipping 😢
I guess Maybe they could add a speeding ticket to alex but seriously he has to be involved all the pieces just add up to him being involved in some way I'm just wondering if cousin Eddie is involved some how too
I think all of this goes back to the Satterfield case. When Alex was confronted at work the day of the murders concerning all of his financial crimes he knew the Satterfield case would be looked into deeper. I think Maggie and Paul knew more than he wanted them to know about that case....i.e. maybe it wasn’t an accident! Maybe they knew more about a lot of his crimes? They were liabilities!
@@msbrown8344 yeah she did. I heard a phone call with buster and him and he asked about it and said he was so proud of her bla blah. Than proceeds to ask him when the hell hes funa go back to school lol

But the big difference between these charges and the financial charges is state prison vs. Federal prison. Federal prison (white collar/soft) is a cakewalk compared to state prison (mostly blue collar/hardened).
So he would have forged his dads name since he was in the hospital dying at the time……nice guy
Huh? What I miss?? Can u tell me approx time stamp in the days courtroom….I didn’t get to watch today
@@michellemichaud9296 3:42:24...a voicemail from Alex Murdaugh to Russell Laffitte dated 6/3/2021. Alex is requesting a $600,000 from the CEO of Palmetto State Bank. And says his "dad will sign also if needed". But, we all know his Dad was close to death and would not be of sound mind and body to be able to co-sign for a $6.00 loan much less a $600,000 loan. So, he was probably going to or did probably forge (pun intended) his Father's signature.
I saw him tell police he took his son's pulse. And then he told police his son didn't have a brain. Why would you take the pulse of someone who doesn't have a brain.
Well, Trump was president for 4 years and did OK without either. 🤔
@@thenightporter Things were going great during his presidency, so apparently Trump has a brain. I wonder about you though. 😮. You must be happy with the horrid state of America now with potato Joe ? 😂
@@thenightporterTrump has 1000x more intelligence than you.
@Nightporter Wow, if you think that about Trump, I can't imagine what you must think about Biden then. 🤔🤡
@@skofflaww3883 and how would you know that? I have a Master's. I am attending law school. You have a dirt bike. 😂
Alex the raging addict was unable to respond to questioning bc he was on Opiates, just as he had been for 20 years WHILE he practiced law and stole millions in his financial schemes, and barbiturates. But he was still competent enough to try and reach out to his accomplice to make sure there stories were straight 🤣😂This is comical by the defense at this point. Tell me they aren’t going down the route that he lied and created this story bc he was “incompetent.”🤣😂🤣
I wonder if the deleted calls from Alex to Maggie was Alex trying to locate Maggie’s phone?? For some reason…its just odd he deleted those calls from his call log?
My my my. Mr Harpootlian sure loves to cop an attitude with people
The defense keeps asking stuff to the wrong experts...he just put the timeline together, he is not the phone expert!
It’s done on purpose, most likely to confuse the jury.
@@lyndaczika6327 yes, that seems to be their only strategy, to but confuse the living lights out of everybody
@@fernandaolivares7926 most laughable example of this was when Harpootlian was attempting to “challenge” the crime scene expert who determined the exact details of the shootings…and he kept pulling out the shotgun, a yard stick, and kept questioning the calculations the expert had made. It was absolutely absurd and he looked like a fool. I pray the jury saw through that comedy routine.
@@lyndaczika6327 He did look like e fool! To me the worse one was him trying to tell the pathologist the bullet to the head came from the opposite directionand was a contact wound!
And then yesturday yelling at the SLED agent because he is trying to explain you cannot just ask a doctor for a patients record! Which obviously Harpie knows very well...their whole strategy is to confuse the jury not to really contest the evidence...but I will say he has made me laugh with with his tantrums!
@@fernandaolivares7926 right. He figures if he tries to make everyone dizzy with his rambling and “word gymnastics” they will say something wrong. But the pathological was fantastic!!! She even said at one point “Look…” and then went on to explain her findings for the 50th time!!
Someone's goose is cooked.
I'm not understanding, was her "backlight" turning on and off because it was getting notifications, or was it being used as a flashlight?
Im confused
Yes it could be from notifications, calls, when the phone is locked, it just means that it’s on a Lock Screen and that no one can access anything without a pass code, but even if the phone gets moved , let’s say the phone is laying down on a flat surface and someone picks the phone up and looks at it, the Lock Screen will illuminate. Another question being asked is about portrait screen to landscape screen, let’s just imagine that the phone is laying flat on the ground vertically, if someone was to pick that phone up and slide it into their pocket, it would allow the screen to go into a landscape view because of the way/angle of the phone has been positioned, the only time this wouldn’t happen would be if the phone had screen lock on which prevents the screen from turning with the angle of the phone’s current position.
This Defense Team makes Amber Heard's legal team look like THE LEGAL DREAM TEAM.
Didn’t watch that trial but have heard the defense team was pretty bad.
@@lyndaczika6327 One male attorney for Amber was pretty good. His name was Rottenborn. But she had a lead council named Elaine Bretterhoft (I'm not sure how it's spelled.) and she was a mess! But ultimately, it was Amber herself who made them lose, in my opinion. She fake cried horribly without a single tear even once, and they had recordings of her admitting to hitting Johnny. There wasn't a single recording of her talking about him hitting her or abusing her in any way. She came off as very deceitful, while his testimony was very believable. His team of attorneys were the best I've seen. If you enjoy watching trials, you should watch that one. It kind of ruined me for other trials, haha. Subsequent trials I've watched seem a bit boring now.
Can we all agree guilty or acquitted or found innocent….he’s going to jail for life via the embezzlement/90+ financial crimes!? Yes I would love M & P to get justice but if it’s AM who indeed killed them….he’s forever in jail for the remainder of his life. If you ask me that’s the best cause for suicide.
I'm just catching up. Only on the 1st defense witness & I literally just spit my drink out of my mouth when the coroner said he checked their bodies by putting his hands in their armpits. SMH with the defense.
I heard nothing but, posturing and how strategic the defense team would perform. What a Joke! this attorney is just giving an alternate theory of what maybe, could've, would've, happened and asking very little that's relative to this expert. He asking the wrong questions to the wrong person. Is this the Tactic/Strategy?
I feel sorry for Buster.... He must be dealing with some serious turmoil inside and I hope he stays strong
A M might have gotten hooked on his own supply
He was a trafficker period
In general, jurors will always have some doubt about the evidence the prosecution presents. The defense will always poke holes - that’s their job, but unless the doubt is beyond reasonable doubt, jury must vote to convict. The AM case has overwhelming evidence against the defendant. Jury should always look at the totality of the evidence presented to them. FACT - At the time AM says he was sleeping, he was actually at the kennels and then murdering his family.
The truth you believe it to be? He already said he didn't hurt them.
Why doesn’t the defendant stand for the arrival and departure of the jury as everyone else does?
In previous trials I've watched, everyone, even the judge, stands when the jury is going in and out. I guess maybe it's just the chosen way some courts do things. I really like this judge, though. I just looked him up. His son died recently on January 23rd of a blood clot in his heart. I can't imagine being able to sit there all day, every day after losing one of my kids. How heartbreaking. I guess it's better than sitting home with nothing to think about but your loss.
@@zxy78267 That's horrible. One man loses his son to a blood clot and the other kills his son.
"Brang ... The Jury" 😊
They keep talkin about that he wasn't in his right mind when he was in rehab well my thing is he's been in the courtroom for the last 15-20 years own them same drugs so that puts them into place where every case he tried needs to be gone back over because he wasn't in his right mind then either
Wow Tammy Gould that is an excellent observation and I hope that authorities clue into this problem!!!
100%
Paul was looking at the shooter on the second shot. The shooter was outside the shed on the right side of the doorway, squatting up next to the shed. As soon as Paul looked the shooter pulled the trigger with the butt of the stock resting on the ground.
I hope Alex’s lawyers don’t get paid Alex wasted mini police resources and taxpayers dollars by all his lies
That timeline is damning and inarguable
I am watching now and Vinny is plying the video several times and asking if Maggie is saying hey or Eddie.
When they slow it down you can hear two syllables. Hey only has one syllable.
In SC they say Hey-ee…two syllables
Southern accents add extra syllables to every word 😂
@@michellemichaud9296 or leave out several....My supervisor was from Mississippi....but to hear her say it, she was from Missippi! 🤣😂
I feel like they should STARTED with this timeline and THEN went through all those other witnesses. Jesus.
@Samantha Holland They just received this evidence brought out today from on star, kind of impossible to bring it first, if ya woulda listened to that fact highlighted today. Js
I know! It is so confusing! I wonder how many jurors are as confused as I am?
That on Star data is damning for Alex. He killed them and tried to set up and an alibi
May God bless the victims to this horrible senseless murder
Can anyone tell me why all the sudden there is talk of a “direct verdict”??? What is that?..and why did the Judge mention this today as a “possibility”??
The prosecution can't ask for a directed verdict only the defendant can. It's almost like a formality. It rarely ever happens, but they'd be crappy lawyers if they didn't ask for it.
@@lisakay8798 but what is a “direct verdict”? I’ve never heard of it?
@@lisakay8798 Actually either the prosecution or defense can ask for a directed verdict…unless SC is an exception
@@lyndaczika6327 Google results of “what is directed verdict”: A directed verdict is a ruling entered by a trial judge after determining that there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to reach a different conclusion.
@MichaelJ oh really???? Please tell me how that works? Let's talk that through. So, in a jury trial in a criminal case like we have here, imagine after hearing evidence the judge says, okay prosecutor I think you've proved your case, so forget the jury sitting there and the constitution, I judge you guilty.
No, that's not how it works. Only the defendant could get a directed verdict. Think about it.
If we were at a baseball game, 5:20:01 would be a grand slam!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A warning before 7:12:10 would be lovely
I will not be watching the defense "case" because Harpo is just a short Jabba the Hutt and Jim belongs in a Mutt and Jeff cartoon. I will however, be reading the commentary after as it is the best. Over and Law & Crime they're all for "Iliac" innocent. You can tell who Jabba the Hutt's spies are.
I really dislike this defense attorney.
I cannot stand this defense team. They did their client zero favors with this jury. And I think it is hilarious that they are claiming that Alex was not competent to be interviewed due to him being medicated while in the hospital. They are ALSO saying he was taking 50 to 60 oxy per day prior to the side of the road shooting and functioning as a lawyer.
I would have loved to see were he ususally parked on other days when he visted Almeda....
State pulled the Perry Mason on em’ ‼️
I belive all information shows Alex done the crime this one of many .I believe all long Alex is guilty
I think the coroner is near time of needing a coroner
Not sure why he was even called.
I think the defense it going to use him as not knowing what he is doing! We will see next week.
Where was Alex‘s suburban at 8:49 and I did not see that on the time plot?
I assumed that he did not go to the kennel.
Harpootlian’s manner is argumentative & disrespectful. I wonder if he speaks to his wife like that.
Every witness the state called he treated like they were beneath him. Very insulting his demeanor was towards them
Sin duda es culpable, aunque El abogado defensor ESTA tratando de confundir Al jurado, y si, hasta con Uno's pocos minutos y distancia SE puede matar a dos personas, y tambien USAR diferente armas con TAL que las Tenga a Mano. Ojala SE haga justicia!!
Nobody could put a worse defense team together if they tried to assemble a bad team. These guys are the Bad News Bears of the legal world. None have a courtroom personality that connects them to the jury or spectators. All they do is try & confuse thinking the jury isn’t intelligent or have common sense & reasoning. I realize they are Proud 😳 to be defending the indefensible but for the amount of money they are being paid you’d expect much more.
Such a Liar caught in another Lie … plenty of witnesses have said that he was carrying … so saying he was going to get a 🔫 isn’t true either
Buster. I’m heartbroken over all this. So sad. 😢😢😢
You can open camera by mistake trying to get a hibernated iPhone to unlock. Be it your own phone or someone else’s
Is Alex not permitted to wear his wedding ring in the trial? If I were his defense counsel, I would suggest he wear the wedding band during trial.
It may have something to do with the fact that he is incarcerated. They’re only allowed certain things for court
I don’t think I could take an “expert witness” seriously when they pronounce rigor wrong. Ryegur is not correct 🤣
He's the second I've heard say it that way. The other was in the Julie Jenkins murder trial. The state's expert pronounced it the same way, with a long "i."
Rigor is actually pronounced Ry-gor (from a former death investigator)
@@hannahlang2460 Thanks 🙂
It is actually the technically correct way to pronounce but a lot of people say it wrong and now a lot of professionals even just go with it.
I lost phone usage when the coroner took stand I was wondering what time of death he said officially if anybody knows
9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m
It was a female too
Hi
If all the data information taken from the iPhones showing steps from each individual, is correct.
Do you think 🤔 on day of the murders there was a side by side by the house, that would explain WHY there wasn’t any steps showing for Maggie, how she got to the kennels.
Paul walked to kennel (283steps) 8:31pm leaves house.
Alex & Maggie drove together to kennel ( side by side)
Maggie had her phone with her No steps are showing cause she is riding.
Alex left his phone at the house.
Killing happened.
Alex is so freaked out he starts running back home.
Before entering house he removes shoe & clothes. Wipes hands or
uses shirt for turning door knob.
He takes a quick shower
Enough to remove anything off hands,hair, and face.
As he is ready to leave the house he makes sure to grab his phone.
He realized he left the side by side which he drove with Maggie down there.
He runs back to kennel (283steps) time 9:02-9:06
Rides side by side back to house.
I think he could have used a hose outside. From one of the comments, there was also a hose and drain in the shed they used to skin and clean animals, so maybe he washed off in there.
The head light question. He should of just said "the car could have been going backwards for all I know, all I know is it was moving that direction".
Those repeated questions by the defense were driving me nuts.
7:07:45 umm, order in the court? What a cringey mess this case continues to be. omg smh 🥺🤡🤢🤮
You can't build a case on hypotheticals.
The marriage proposal talk was strange and awkward.
I've never heard of a UV thermometer....lol.
Agent Kelly was AMAZING !!!!!! 🤩🙌
Is Alec lawyer under drugs 😂
Poot just can’t win one with this Agents lol he tries over and over to mislead or confuse Agent Kelly unsuccessfully and then just gives up in frustration😅 AM defense is just lost!
I thought cousin Eddie was on states witness list!!
I would think he would be. I wonder why he isn't testifying. He seems to have been very involved in Alex's life.
Amazing. Harpootian allowed Alex to interview over the phone. Why is he doing a turn around now?
Listen he was a chunky man at the time so the 283 steps between 9:02 to 9:06 at 70 steps it's faster than we've seen him move. It's sealed the deal for me💯 this is so very very very flipping 😢
I guess Maybe they could add a speeding ticket to alex but seriously he has to be involved all the pieces just add up to him being involved in some way I'm just wondering if cousin Eddie is involved some how too
I just watched unsolved mysteries “fall of the house of Murdaughs “ and Mallory Beach’s dad looks just like sketch Alex had drawn up by police!
Where is this being aired?
That's all he has is to confuse to try and get his client acquitted. Unless he comes up with a different perp.
@@lyndaczika6327 it’s on u-tube
@@lyndaczika6327 unsolved mysteries
You need to watch HBO docuseries. 3 part
Why is the defense attorney so angry?
I think all of this goes back to the Satterfield case. When Alex was confronted at work the day of the murders concerning all of his financial crimes he knew the Satterfield case would be looked into deeper. I think Maggie and Paul knew more than he wanted them to know about that case....i.e. maybe it wasn’t an accident! Maybe they knew more about a lot of his crimes? They were liabilities!
I think he’s guilty but in following the letter of the law I would find him not guilty as it all seems just circumstantial and no actual proof given.
I wonder if busters girlfriend thinks he did it 🤔
“He” being buster or Alex?
Police determined Buster was 2+ hours away
I was wondering that also! I think she just past the bar.
@@stephendowling9050 that doesn't mean that busters girlfriend doesn't think her boyfriends father killed his wife and son...
@@msbrown8344 yeah she did. I heard a phone call with buster and him and he asked about it and said he was so proud of her bla blah. Than proceeds to ask him when the hell hes funa go back to school lol
I love that rhe defense is just asking what does portrait and landscape mean on a cellphone.. great way to stall the jury
I totally think he is stalling bc he needs the weekend to come up with a game plan!
Did someone tel the SLED guy to shut up?
Poot being disrespectful and rude isn’t working.
oh agent kelly gonna catch poot in the streets for that one, dude was boiling
