The fact that Alex’s defense was that the murder was so shockingly horrific and disturbing that it couldn’t have possibly been him, just for it to have been him, shows what a monster he truly is.
Good point; that leads me to believe that he is happy with his atroccity😮. And to think: if it had not been for Paul & Bubba, he would have probably got away with it.
i can't imagine all the documentation and information you would have had to go over in order to write and film this episode. it must have been a MASSIVE project. your dedication to presenting this murder case is impressive. : )
In the end, when Alex says it wasn't him who did this, the judge followed back with it may have not been you but the monster you become. Hands down the best judge who handled this case with grace.
Sadly, the judge buried his own son two weeks before the trial, due to illness. And he had to sit there listening to this case about another father who blew his son's brains out.
the “the end” to this video cracked me up. thank you to kendall and the team for making six weeks of content and even more into a 2 hour video for us in terms i can understand. i appreciate you so much. thank you for all that you do and the effort, time, and care you put into these videos always. ♥️
Alex is such a POS. he deserves to have that as the end to a discussion about him. "I hope he rots there for the rest of his miserable life" is a sentiment i think we can all agree on
It’s so sad that his son captured that video and was genuinely laughing with his “dad” prior to knowing what Alec had in mind… I swear… i sometimes think Buster knows more than he’s saying but is staying loyal to his dad and not trying to get in trouble either….
@@giltraz there’s no reason to believe that though or evidence or literally anything i think he’s holding onto the last member of his family. alex is clearly a manipulative person and knows how to talk his way through, i think his son is just another victim of his.
This must've been so stressful and upsetting for Blanca, hearing about what happened to their last house keeper and then testifying against someone she worked for while grieving the lost of Maggie and Paul.
The amount of crap he was able to get away with just because of status and privilege is absolutely sickening. I honestly can’t believe the attitude he has through the entire trial. How could you act like this after hurting so many people?
I really want to believe that the emotion he shows when talking about seeing Paul’s dead body is real and that he truly feels guilty for murdering his son and that it haunts him everyday. You can tell he has no remorse or guilt towards his wife. When I saw the video Paul took right before the murders it made me cry because they really had no idea Alex would kill them and imagining them all together laughing and being a family when all of the sudden Alex starts shooting, and what they just have thought or felt when they realized what was happening is absolutely devastating.
I agree wholeheartedly with this. It’s not trying to be funny, putting on makeup, eating or insensitive in anyway. It is truly like sitting down at lunch with a very informed friend who has all the tea. That’s it that’s all. Very relatable & very real.
please do more videos deep diving into trials!! i’ve been so interested in watching trials lately and i think there’s a gap on youtube of people breaking them down like you did here! thanks for the great content
You are my go to for true crime content. You are so detailed but still so respectful and really advocate for the victims! You really are an absolute gem in the true crime community ♥️
What’s wild to me is that the defense was insistent that Alex couldn’t have killed Paul and Maggie because he had no ill will against them. But you don’t *need* that to do what he did. He loved himself more.
The par that gets me, is how people invested in this case, act like no man has ever killed his wife before. Like no man has ever killed his child before. Like no man would do that..why would he do that? He told us all.."Oh what a tangled, Web we weave"
@@kiki1266 What? That makes zero sense... There is literally example after example of cases that people are heavily invested in, and are still confused by these acts- because most of us would never do something like this, we can't simply brush it off with, "ah yes, but Chris Watts did it, Todt did it, Scott Peterson did it, so I'm not surprised Alex Murdaugh did it too- come on it's normal because it has happened before"... People will always be invested in cases like this, and display confusion and shock, because it is an anomaly, statistically speaking amongst humans and human behaviour in general, and does cause such confusion and turmoil for the 99% because it is so hard to conceive why someone would do this- regardless of the fact that they are not the first and only person to do so...
@@kiki1266 Hahaha, your comment could be summed up as "The part of this case that really shocks me, is that people have actually shown surprise and care for the family members that died at the hands of their husband/father- their interest and shock is what is shocking to me, not the crime itself, because it's normal. Nobody should be interested in this case, or show any surprise because this kind of thing has happened before. Can't we all just accept this as normal, and give it no time or attention please."
I keep trying to watch this at bedtime and I keep falling asleep due to Kendall’s soothing voice 😂 literally my fourth attempt to try and watch and finish this, wish me luck comrades 😅
Can we take a minute to appreciate Judge Newman and how awes😅me he was and who’s son died suddenly not even two weeks before this trial. ❤️ “Bring the jury”
He was truly composed. If I ever have to stand before a judge, I'd hope it would be someone like him. I watched the whole trial (boring and scary) and not once did I think, "Hm. That was a bad call." Not. Once. Props to the Judge. And I had no idea about his son until now. All the respect to His Honor.
I don’t know how you managed to make a 2 hour video covering only a trial so riveting but I was on the edge of my seat listening to this! You’ve condensed it SO well.
This man must be one of the most despicable individuals in history. It's truly staggeringly awful what he has done and what he got away with over the years. So good to see that justice was finally served!! Thank you SO much Kendall for giving us so much of your time and effort!! ❤
It never occurred to me that Alex would have easily and happily framed the boat crash victims boyfriend or her parents for his wife’s and sons death. What a horrible human.
I was saving this video for tonight before bed. I've been continuously impressed by Kendall's coverage of this trial and wanted to set aside enough time to watch it fully.
I didn’t watch the trial and am VERY grateful to you for bringing us the “highlights”. All I watched was the verdict and sentencing and can we just sing the judge’s praises - in general, but I specifically appreciated how often he brought up the family dynasty that Alex has brought all this shame to. I feel like that might be the only thing that actually stings Alex.
He wanted to get killed hinself so that his son had a future. He was going to have to settle millions and buster wouldn’t have anything. His wife and son didn’t have life insurance policies. Only him. Buster wanted to go back to law school and he thought it would be the best thing for his son.
Ikr. Normally if a video is more than half an hour or max 45 minutes I lose interest. I have never lost interest in one of Kendall's videos, including this one
Almost 2 hrs??!! And honestly It didn't feel like that, it was so interesting and you are so good at narrating that I was very entertained the entire time. Thank you for the hard word and research that you put into your videos ❤❤❤❤
What really got me is when Alex was on the stand and was point blank asked if he did it and he says no, but us clearly shaking his head yes! It’s like his subconscious was ratting him out and he didn’t even realize it!!
YES!!! I’ve been waiting for Kendall to do make another video on this case. It’s such a HUGE and disturbing case. I watched the doc on Netflix and this family is just awful 😣
I’ve watched most, if not all of the coverage of the Murdaugh saga. Your podcast is by far my favorite. You’ve got the brains, the beauty, the voice and the charisma for broadcasting. ❤
Why are we not talking about how INSANELY BEAUTIFUL Kendall looks? Thank you for always be an advocate for the victims, and covering hard and difficult cases. You put in so much work for your own page, and the Mile Higher Podcasts. We love you Kendall !!🤍
Kendall, I'm only halfway through but THANK YOU for the amazingly concise and well planned video. I struggled to keep up with all the revelations coming out of the trial so this was so helpful in understanding the timeline. I think this is one of your best series/videos yet!
Great work covering this case from start to end. This case is truly one of the most outrageous true crime cases I’ve ever seen. My heart goes out to the victims’ families
Kendall I have been obsessed with this case since you first covered it. Thank you for such a thorough follow through. You are the best! And may this man rot forever.
This entire story from start to finish is just wild. I still can’t get over the fact that he offed his son and wife to save himself from the consequences of his other crimes.
Worst motive ever brought to a jury by a DA….committing murder (which is a crime) doesn’t “cover” his other crimes lmaooo. There is way more to the story I’m 110% sure of but keep believing the power that stated there was a power chokehold in low country for 100 + years.
Absolutely love kitty cat in the background. Helps soften the blow of these tragedies. So many lives ruined, RIP to all the victims of this family and their manipulation.
I'm so thankful you put together a separate video on the trial, especially one as in depth as this. I didn't have the time to watch the whole trial, but this gave me a good idea of evidence presented and how witnesses responded. Appreciate you, amazing video!
Hours of listening to Kendall's videos and months of trial later, it never fails to shock me that Alex killed his son. People have been known to kill their spouses for money or personal gain, or their children because of a strained relationship or mental illness, but to kill his beloved son (and I do believe he loved him even if he killed him) to save his own skin over embezzlement??? Absolutely despicable and inhumane. He truly deserves the worst
I haven’t seen this theory stated anywhere else, surely I’m not the only one thinking it - but I don’t think Alex was trying to save himself or anything financial related. I thought from the start that a man used to control, literally even above the law, having all of that crashing down needed *SOMETHING* to be in his control. And that played out by him killing his own family.
@@bunchofbrunners8473 I think that both of you are right to some degree. If it was completely about power and control he could have killed someone else. But he chose these two to save himself
Some think he blamed Paul for bringing everything crashing down, due to the boat crash. A blemish on the family name, plus they were trying to gain access to Alex's financials which would have revealed his entire scam.
This (and the other two videos) is the most comprehensive overview of this case. Your calm manner and clear explanation made this tragic and absurd case more bearable to follow. Thank you so much for your efforts to put together such a convoluted case into a clear, well-thought out video!
I honestly really really appreciate you giving such a thorough video. even if I have to pause here and there and go back, totally worth it in my opinion to be able to really really get a good picture of everything. thank you for all your hard work
So thankful for the mammoth amount of work that you put into this. I feel like we got the most thorough information concerning the case, in a two hour synopsis, without having to follow the trial for weeks on end. PS. Your postpartum hair is the BOMB! Looks so healthy and amazing.
Me & my coworker listen to your channel all the time. Love your narration and dedication to your videos. You always make our day better too. Thanks Kendall
Please do a video on Cassie Cole! She was a 14 year old girl who died in Tiffin, OH in 2004 and it’s an unsolved cold case. Her family still doesn’t know how it happened and bringing awareness may help!!!
Anyone else notice how when Alex is being asked if he shot his wife or son he’s nodding yes while saying no? That’s literally a tell tale sign of a LIAR!!!
Yes Emma. I noticed that right away. If you tell the truth and your answer is no, then you shake your head as you say no. But Alex was nodding his head as he said no, which means he was lying about him not killing his wife and son.
The amount of work that this type of video must take 😮 THANK YOU, Kendall ! Just as good (if not better) that a major network documentary. This story is insane. Never grasped how much until now.
this had to have taken so much time & sooo much planning & fact checking & rewatching hours of trial footage. thank you for what you do for us Kendall🫶🏽 you’re so kick ass z🔥🔥🤞🏽
Thank you Kendall for doing such an in depth and thorough review of this case. 💗 I hope that all of the victims of AM and his family receive proper compensation and are able to heal from everything that they have had to endure. 💞
cant wait to watch this during my shift tonight. thank you for always covering cases with such respect to the victims. as a person who has experienced some true crime like shit and the media misrepresent,it's nice to see someone who cares. ❤
You're amazing! A 2 hour video packed with information all relevant and detailed delivered so eloquently and flawlessly. You really stand out among the true crime online reporters. A huge well done from the UK!👏👏👏
recently i’ve been cutting down the amount of true crime subscriptions i have. so many are awful in terms of the tone and respect for victims. This channel is the only one i didn’t have to think about out of 16. She is truly professional and respectful in her coverage of sensitive cases
I low key don't want them to, bcoz she won't have creative liberty....these networdk always want to control you..I love social media because the content creators get to make their own money and creative independence.
I said this last night! After seeing an ad for a true crime doc on Hulu about a case Kendall covered, I was like honestly I would rather stream her to my TV than even bother with this show lol
I just want to say thank you for putting so much thought and effort into this series especially with a baby ❤ being a mom is hard enough but sitting down to film and edit videos I can imagine it being hard at times too
As a mom myself, I’m not sure how she finds the time to research, watch, and film all of this. Very well done, superwoman! 💪🏼👏🏼 We women can do hard things.
@@lauravalle3766 it is pretty amazing but we shouldn’t compare ourselves to someone with millions of subscribers and multiple channels, employees who take care of tasks such as research editing etc and have unlimited childcare options including family and friends. Yes what she does is amazing and she supports a lot of great organizations but let’s be realistic.
This series was so well put together. Truly fascinating going through the trial (without crazy amounts of courtroom footage). What in the power-trip is going on in this family???
The addiction story is intended to prevent investigation of where all of the stolen funds ended up. I assure you that those funds didn't support a drug addiction for Alex. He's bluffing.
I was surprised they didn't start up a serious investigation on drugs in that area. Surely he wasn't the only one buying, even though he'd like us to think that!
I find it interesting at 1:22:08 when Alec answers each question with "No I did not", he nods his head, as if saying "Yes I did" through his body language.
Your vid on Mallory's unfortunate death may she rest in peace was the first I had heard of this case! Thanks for always breaking important news and bringing traction and attention to corruption! You are my favorite youtuber
i was so intrigued when you uploaded this so i watched the first 2 videos and then this. the dedication you have put to this story was immense, thank you!! also thank god he was put to jail forever
Thank you for covering this case in depth. There were just too many weeks for me to be able to watch it all, and I appreciate you covering all the evidence and testimony so I can better understand the crime and verdict.
Kendall, can you please talk about the Grant Solomon case? It seems similar to this but only that the father is getting away with a possible murder. There is SO much evidence implicating him and the family is not getting the justice they deserve! Thank you for all the hard work you do! You are wonderful!!
This case also iighlight the absolute corruption which happens at academic levels.....the fact that Alex was willing and able to get his son back into law school at a whim is crazy
WOW! WOW! WOW! Kendall, you've outdone yourself. What a fantastic and detailed insight of the trial. It's obvious that you put a lot of work into this video. 👏 👏 👏
Kendall, I'm so glad your pets decided to join you in your studio😊 They probably miss your soothing voice! I hope I'm never called in to testify, I would break over the questions and scrutiny even with nothing to hide!
As a recovering addict, hearing that Alex used 2000mg of Oxycodone a day was frightening to me. That's insane, I did the math and it's $14,000 a week, $56,000 a month. Given his high doses and the length of time he was using, I don't even want to imagine how horrible his withdrawal would've been in jail. It was probably hell on earth. I'm assuming he had to withdraw in jail, he wasn't going to get a prescription and he wasn't going to get away with smuggling enough into jail to sustain himself. Money really is the worst thing an addict can have - it always ends up with them losing everything, and often their life as well.
@@paprikahoney Ahh I forgot about that. Usually people withdraw in detox and go then to rehab, in rehab you're usually supposed to work on your addiction. But I suppose some people do withdraw at rehab too
former addict here. totally plausible. 15years ago i was addicted to 80mg oxycotin that were $50 a piece. and that was 15 years ago before the opiate crackdown. i’m sure they are waaay more expensive now. i blew through $60,000 in three months back then. ugh def my biggest regret looking back lol
@@Jessica_Costantini I get it, I also get annoyed at myself thinking about all the money I wasted... But thankfully that hell is now over, we have to focus on the present & future and try not to dwell on past mistakes too much, especially since those mistakes were driven by a disease
I have not found another true crime show that I would rather watch. Mondays are always awesome with your uploads. I thank you for all of the work you put into these! Loved this one. ❤
Glad Alex is behind bars. Kendall you are amazing!! I have been watching you and Josh a lot lately and I absolutely love the content. The two of you are so down to earth ♉️♍️, professional and well spoken. Your hard work and passion for what you do definitely shows. As a former practicing attorney, I love true crime. Thank you for keeping me entertained! ✌🏻❤😊
i was a her0in addict for years and my closest family (who i lived with) didn’t know. it’s 10000% possible to keep an addiction this bad from your loved ones/everyone. that’s probably the only thing that is truthful in his testimony
Thank you for posting, was coincidentally checking out your channel about 15 mins ago and didn't see anything yet, but was so happy to get a notification a few mins later.😅 Let's get into it💯
Woot woot I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! More comments to come forsure. Got my merch! I'm in LOVE!! Your make-up looks soooo good!!! Thanks for ALL your hard work and coverage on this case!! I was way LATE to this case, but I cannot stop looking into it!!
Once again Kendall is the first on it with the updates!! Thank you so much for always being on top of it and never forgetting to update us! You're glowing (as always) !!
She’s not the first but she’s definitely the most thorough! Managing to keep the story straight and also so eloquently well spoken is beyond admirable. I have been glued to this story since it began and I can say that if I need to explain this horror story to anyone I would direct them to Kendall.
Love, love, love your coverage of this trial but especially loved your sign off “I hope he rots in jail - the end!” You are so brilliant at what you do! Come back to Australia - we love you!! ❤️❤️
Holy smokes a 2 hour video?!? 🥺😍 Kendall you've outdone yourself. My Mondays are always so much better because of you.
2 hours while she’s sick no less!
Right when the video ended I said, “Damn, Kendall! That was incredible!” out loud.
I love your videos you do so well I definitely don’t mind a two hour episode 😅❤️❤️❤️❤️
😊😊😊
We hath been BLESSED by queen Kendall
The fact that Alex’s defense was that the murder was so shockingly horrific and disturbing that it couldn’t have possibly been him, just for it to have been him, shows what a monster he truly is.

Do you think Buster is who Alex was talking to on the 911 call when he says, "here"?
What if it was buster that flipped attempted to kill them all and turned it on Alec … dododododododo

HES DEMON 😈 FILLED
Small towns in the South have a bit of an odd 'justice' system. I'd like to think it's getting better, but...
It’s scary how people with power and wealth get away with so much..
I really want to believe that the emotion he shows when talking about seeing Paul’s dead body is real and that he truly feels guilty for murdering his son and that it haunts him everyday.

When I first heard of his son and wife being murdered, that was my first theory.
This man is pure evil.
Oh, he tried. Before admitting he set up his own shooting, the description he gave of "his own supposed shooter" matched the father of Mallory Beach.
Oh yeah 100% a additional benefit of being a means of revenge on Alex’s part for none of them following along with his coverup

@@KendallRae Oh girl!!! You're amazing for the amount of work, people need to share more and like more your videos 👏👏👏 ❤️
What really got me is when Alex was on the stand and was point blank asked if he did it and he says no, but us clearly shaking his head yes! It’s like his subconscious was ratting him out and he didn’t even realize it!!
Yes!!! This is nuts, he’s nodding the whole time
YES!!!
I’ve been waiting for Kendall to do make another video on this case. It’s such a HUGE and disturbing case.
I watched the doc on Netflix and this family is just awful 😣
I’ve watched most, if not all of the coverage of the Murdaugh saga. Your podcast is by far my favorite. You’ve got the brains, the beauty, the voice and the charisma for broadcasting. ❤
Why are we not talking about how INSANELY BEAUTIFUL Kendall looks? Thank you for always be an advocate for the victims, and covering hard and difficult cases. You put in so much work for your own page, and the Mile Higher Podcasts. We love you Kendall !!🤍
awww thank you so much, it means a lot!
@Kendall Rae you look so bronze and glowy girl absolutely beautiful
@@KendallRae You ALWAYS look so lovely 🌹
I know! She looks so good! She always does but this look is my favorite 😍
Kendall, I'm only halfway through but THANK YOU for the amazingly concise and well planned video. I struggled to keep up with all the revelations coming out of the trial so this was so helpful in understanding the timeline. I think this is one of your best series/videos yet!
Great work covering this case from start to end. This case is truly one of the most outrageous true crime cases I’ve ever seen. My heart goes out to the victims’ families
Kendall I have been obsessed with this case since you first covered it. Thank you for such a thorough follow through. You are the best! And may this man rot forever.
This entire story from start to finish is just wild. I still can’t get over the fact that he offed his son and wife to save himself from the consequences of his other crimes.
He did what he had to have to respect that but wow
@@virginiaarthur5 have to respect that? What even..
Instead he brought it all down on himself.
Not your life, why you getting so excited about that?
Worst motive ever brought to a jury by a DA….committing murder (which is a crime) doesn’t “cover” his other crimes lmaooo. There is way more to the story I’m 110% sure of but keep believing the power that stated there was a power chokehold in low country for 100 + years.
Absolutely love kitty cat in the background. Helps soften the blow of these tragedies. So many lives ruined, RIP to all the victims of this family and their manipulation.
I'm so thankful you put together a separate video on the trial, especially one as in depth as this. I didn't have the time to watch the whole trial, but this gave me a good idea of evidence presented and how witnesses responded. Appreciate you, amazing video!
Thank you I’m glad it was helpful!
There really is a reason you’re the top of the tree when it comes to True Crime channels. This was superb!
Hours of listening to Kendall's videos and months of trial later, it never fails to shock me that Alex killed his son. People have been known to kill their spouses for money or personal gain, or their children because of a strained relationship or mental illness, but to kill his beloved son (and I do believe he loved him even if he killed him) to save his own skin over embezzlement??? Absolutely despicable and inhumane. He truly deserves the worst
I haven’t seen this theory stated anywhere else, surely I’m not the only one thinking it - but I don’t think Alex was trying to save himself or anything financial related. I thought from the start that a man used to control, literally even above the law, having all of that crashing down needed *SOMETHING* to be in his control. And that played out by him killing his own family.
@@bunchofbrunners8473 I think that both of you are right to some degree. If it was completely about power and control he could have killed someone else. But he chose these two to save himself
Some think he blamed Paul for bringing everything crashing down, due to the boat crash. A blemish on the family name, plus they were trying to gain access to Alex's financials which would have revealed his entire scam.
The fact that Buster has a girlfriend is the most shocking thing out of the whole trial
Poor girl!!!
Why?
ONG
😂
@Rolydio one of these days he'll be the next on trial and she'll be doing another 2 hours breaking in down. A very sick family.
This (and the other two videos) is the most comprehensive overview of this case. Your calm manner and clear explanation made this tragic and absurd case more bearable to follow. Thank you so much for your efforts to put together such a convoluted case into a clear, well-thought out video!
Yes! This has been the best, most thorough coverage.
I honestly really really appreciate you giving such a thorough video. even if I have to pause here and there and go back, totally worth it in my opinion to be able to really really get a good picture of everything. thank you for all your hard work
2 hours of content is a blessing. Thank you! As well as your team for putting all this together. ❤️
😊😊❤2⅖
So thankful for the mammoth amount of work that you put into this. I feel like we got the most thorough information concerning the case, in a two hour synopsis, without having to follow the trial for weeks on end.
PS. Your postpartum hair is the BOMB! Looks so healthy and amazing.
Mondays aren’t so bad when Kendall blesses our feed with this!! Thank you so much!! You’ve truly outdone yourself with this update!!
Me & my coworker listen to your channel all the time. Love your narration and dedication to your videos. You always make our day better too. Thanks Kendall
The kitty biscuits at 6:33 warmed my heart. Love seeing you pets in the background!!
Please do a video on Cassie Cole! She was a 14 year old girl who died in Tiffin, OH in 2004 and it’s an unsolved cold case. Her family still doesn’t know how it happened and bringing awareness may help!!!
You should fill out her case suggestion form! It’s in the description :)
Anyone else notice how when Alex is being asked if he shot his wife or son he’s nodding yes while saying no? That’s literally a tell tale sign of a LIAR!!!
OMG yes! That was a huge tell. I was thinking the exact same thing!!!
Yesss!! I commented the same thing he couldn’t stop nodding
Yes Emma. I noticed that right away. If you tell the truth and your answer is no, then you shake your head as you say no. But Alex was nodding his head as he said no, which means he was lying about him not killing his wife and son.
I was about to comment about the nods too! That's 100% a red flag!
Omg no way! Definitely a little red flag 🚩
The amount of work that this type of video must take 😮
THANK YOU, Kendall !
Just as good (if not better) that a major network documentary.
This story is insane. Never grasped how much until now.
this had to have taken so much time & sooo much planning & fact checking & rewatching hours of trial footage. thank you for what you do for us Kendall🫶🏽 you’re so kick ass z🔥🔥🤞🏽
stuck in covid isolation right now and have been super lonely. thanks for keeping me company
Always waiting for one of your videos best part of the week❤
Thank you Kendall for doing such an in depth and thorough review of this case. 💗 I hope that all of the victims of AM and his family receive proper compensation and are able to heal from everything that they have had to endure. 💞
cant wait to watch this during my shift tonight. thank you for always covering cases with such respect to the victims. as a person who has experienced some true crime like shit and the media misrepresent,it's nice to see someone who cares. ❤
You're amazing! A 2 hour video packed with information all relevant and detailed delivered so eloquently and flawlessly. You really stand out among the true crime online reporters. A huge well done from the UK!👏👏👏
So excited to be tuning into this video Kendall, I swear Netflix or some tv show platform needs to give you a platform of all the hard work you do.
Yes they do
recently i’ve been cutting down the amount of true crime subscriptions i have. so many are awful in terms of the tone and respect for victims. This channel is the only one i didn’t have to think about out of 16. She is truly professional and respectful in her coverage of sensitive cases
I low key don't want them to, bcoz she won't have creative liberty....these networdk always want to control you..I love social media because the content creators get to make their own money and creative independence.
I said this last night! After seeing an ad for a true crime doc on Hulu about a case Kendall covered, I was like honestly I would rather stream her to my TV than even bother with this show lol
YT is better, Kendall has full creative control 💞💕💐👙💖🎇
Thank you for your service kendall!! We appreciate the time you took to put this together ❤️
I just want to say thank you for putting so much thought and effort into this series especially with a baby ❤ being a mom is hard enough but sitting down to film and edit videos I can imagine it being hard at times too
As a mom myself, I’m not sure how she finds the time to research, watch, and film all of this. Very well done, superwoman! 💪🏼👏🏼 We women can do hard things.
@@lauravalle3766 it is pretty amazing but we shouldn’t compare ourselves to someone with millions of subscribers and multiple channels, employees who take care of tasks such as research editing etc and have unlimited childcare options including family and friends. Yes what she does is amazing and she supports a lot of great organizations but let’s be realistic.
This series was so well put together. Truly fascinating going through the trial (without crazy amounts of courtroom footage). What in the power-trip is going on in this family???
The addiction story is intended to prevent investigation of where all of the stolen funds ended up. I assure you that those funds didn't support a drug addiction for Alex. He's bluffing.
Agree
I was surprised they didn't start up a serious investigation on drugs in that area. Surely he wasn't the only one buying, even though he'd like us to think that!
Exactly
3 people found his stash on different days..
@@skibee420 Yes, they found "bags of pills" and I'm not saying Alex didn't take any of them. I'm saying he didn't consume the majority of them.
thank you, you gave so much more info about this case over your 3 videos than even the netflix special!!
She brings us an almost 2 hour video I’m here for it and love how you broke it down thank you for being such a great advocate
Kendall you are so smart to understand and explain all of these complex law terminology to us..THANK YOU❤
I find it interesting at 1:22:08 when Alec answers each question with "No I did not", he nods his head, as if saying "Yes I did" through his body language.
Yesss I saw the same thing!!!
Your vid on Mallory's unfortunate death may she rest in peace was the first I had heard of this case! Thanks for always breaking important news and bringing traction and attention to corruption! You are my favorite youtuber
ever monday i get so excited for kendall’s videos, she’s so descriptive and informative i love it❤️❤️
Wow, the longest video on this channel! Thank you so much, Kendall, for such thorough coverage. You truly are the best.
i was so intrigued when you uploaded this so i watched the first 2 videos and then this. the dedication you have put to this story was immense, thank you!! also thank god he was put to jail forever
Thank you for covering this case in depth. There were just too many weeks for me to be able to watch it all, and I appreciate you covering all the evidence and testimony so I can better understand the crime and verdict.
Kendall, can you please talk about the Grant Solomon case? It seems similar to this but only that the father is getting away with a possible murder. There is SO much evidence implicating him and the family is not getting the justice they deserve!
Thank you for all the hard work you do! You are wonderful!!
thank you so much kendall for taking the time to give your viewers the best content! we really appreciate all the work you put into your videos❤
A 2hr video is exactly what I needed tonight! Thank you! ❤
By far the best breakdown of this trial! Great work to all who worked on it ❤️
You are by far the most thorough and respectful person in all your videos!
You are so good at telling a story so we can understand every bit of it. Thank you 🤗👏🏻👏🏻
A nearly 2 hour video?!?! I love it! The case seems so insane. Is it bad that I'm absolutely hooked!
This case also iighlight the absolute corruption which happens at academic levels.....the fact that Alex was willing and able to get his son back into law school at a whim is crazy
Best narrative/voice/voice inflections EVER!!! Thank you for this fine video!!!!!
2 hours?? Buckle up, guys. In for a treat today! Thanks Kendall
WOW! WOW! WOW! Kendall, you've outdone yourself. What a fantastic and detailed insight of the trial. It's obvious that you put a lot of work into this video. 👏 👏 👏
Kendall, I'm so glad your pets decided to join you in your studio😊 They probably miss your soothing voice!
I hope I'm never called in to testify, I would break over the questions and scrutiny even with nothing to hide!
Thank you very much for this!!! We really enjoyed !!!!! Justice was serve. I’ll start drinking more water. ❤
Wow, well done love - that must have been a mission to put together for us. Such a good review of the trial! Thanks! X
hahaha thank you! Ngl, it was!
As a recovering addict, hearing that Alex used 2000mg of Oxycodone a day was frightening to me. That's insane, I did the math and it's $14,000 a week, $56,000 a month. Given his high doses and the length of time he was using, I don't even want to imagine how horrible his withdrawal would've been in jail. It was probably hell on earth. I'm assuming he had to withdraw in jail, he wasn't going to get a prescription and he wasn't going to get away with smuggling enough into jail to sustain himself. Money really is the worst thing an addict can have - it always ends up with them losing everything, and often their life as well.
He went to rehab before prison
I don’t think he actually is an addict, he was bluffing to cover for his financial crimes.
@@paprikahoney Ahh I forgot about that. Usually people withdraw in detox and go then to rehab, in rehab you're usually supposed to work on your addiction. But I suppose some people do withdraw at rehab too
former addict here. totally plausible. 15years ago i was addicted to 80mg oxycotin that were $50 a piece. and that was 15 years ago before the opiate crackdown. i’m sure they are waaay more expensive now. i blew through $60,000 in three months back then. ugh def my biggest regret looking back lol
@@Jessica_Costantini I get it, I also get annoyed at myself thinking about all the money I wasted... But thankfully that hell is now over, we have to focus on the present & future and try not to dwell on past mistakes too much, especially since those mistakes were driven by a disease
I have not found another true crime show that I would rather watch. Mondays are always awesome with your uploads. I thank you for all of the work you put into these! Loved this one. ❤
Glad Alex is behind bars. Kendall you are amazing!! I have been watching you and Josh a lot lately and I absolutely love the content. The two of you are so down to earth ♉️♍️, professional and well spoken. Your hard work and passion for what you do definitely shows. As a former practicing attorney, I love true crime. Thank you for keeping me entertained! ✌🏻❤😊
Thank you! This is such a compliment 😀🙏
I love everything Mile Higher!
i was a her0in addict for years and my closest family (who i lived with) didn’t know. it’s 10000% possible to keep an addiction this bad from your loved ones/everyone. that’s probably the only thing that is truthful in his testimony
I saw 1 hour and 50 minute and clicked on this so fast!!! Kendall you are one of the best true crime youtubers out there!
Of COURSE we all stayed until the end!!!!! We love you and your content!
Thank you for posting, was coincidentally checking out your channel about 15 mins ago and didn't see anything yet, but was so happy to get a notification a few mins later.😅 Let's get into it💯
Woot woot I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! More comments to come forsure. Got my merch! I'm in LOVE!! Your make-up looks soooo good!!! Thanks for ALL your hard work and coverage on this case!! I was way LATE to this case, but I cannot stop looking into it!!
Once again Kendall is the first on it with the updates!! Thank you so much for always being on top of it and never forgetting to update us! You're glowing (as always) !!
She’s not the first but she’s definitely the most thorough! Managing to keep the story straight and also so eloquently well spoken is beyond admirable. I have been glued to this story since it began and I can say that if I need to explain this horror story to anyone I would direct them to Kendall.
Ma’am your video lasted me most of my eight hour shift and I want to thank you for such amazing content we all appreciate you so much😘
Kendall I appreciate your hard work and dedication. You put sooo much work into this video while being sick. You are AMAZING!
Love, love, love your coverage of this trial but especially loved your sign off “I hope he rots in jail - the end!” You are so brilliant at what you do! Come back to Australia - we love you!! ❤️❤️
Almost a 2 hours video... What a gift 😗👌🏼 *cheff kiss*
“the end!” and the outro music. i was living for it
