The prosecution didn't prove when his Suburban went in and out of park either. Why didn't the prosecution contact GM or Onstar? Because it would have gone against their theory of the murders.
Time at his mothers house matches the caregiver’s testimony. 15-20 minutes. Later, AM tried to coerce her into 30-40 minutes. This is what upset her so much. Lying about stealing money is bad. Attempting to deceive about your alibi is damning.
Alec's biggest problem is that he told the police that he did not go down to the kennel where they were murdered. He has three friends with no axe to grind against him that have identified his voice at the murder scene within mere minutes before his wife and son were murdered. He lied about that too. That is huge. Evidence of him at the scene within minutes of the murders. Huge. To me that is what the conviction will hinge on.
Or not have been talking while your son is recording a video.. I don’t understand why he would do it.. I think he paid someone to come take the guns and maybe shoot one of them but who knows
@@cbwilliamss630 he messed up because he had to correct Maggie when she said it was a Ginny and he had to be a smart ass and said “it’s a chicken”-condescending jerk-I bet he talked to her like this a lot behind closed doors! He cooked his own goose-lol
Total agreement with Rock on AM's colleague and neighbor "100%" that it was AM's voice on video. At that moment, I was like "it's a wrap for his conviction." AM is extremely, extremely impulsive and he just snapped under the pressure of his financial larceny coming to light and he was angry at the world.
Vinnie Politano, trying to make it more 'up in the air', says not having the weapon(s) will be a deal breaker for the prosecution. Pretty sure that's just not correct in this case.
You can go to a dark place with opioid addictions. I think he knew it was all unraveling for a man who never got questioned on his shady ways bc of his last name. He hired a hit man to kill him and it didn’t even work. That’s crazy thinking, goes right along with him killing his family…. He’s going down.
@@wpsatx5045 No jury will convict a man of murder without some kind of physical evidence. Just imagine yourself sitting on a jury where the prosecution keeps saying….”but look at this”… Yes, hes a thief and yes hes a liar…. none of that proves murder. Without some kind of physical evidence, it cant be proven beyond any reasonable doubt.
If this man is not found guilty, I will lose all faith in the justice system. It's a shame his family has been so well known and held so much power in the justice system. He has ruined the integrity of his family name. He killed his family plain and simple.
Not a nice family at all! I watched another YT video where 4 other attorneys were talking and one said one of Alex grandfathers made the comment that if you want to have someone killed bring them Collett county SC.
I cannot see him being innocent either. But I'm entertaining the *possibility* - for now - that he might have had someone else do this. We've heard pretty damning testimony from people who knew him well, relating to his financial crimes in particular. They gave no indication of willingness to cover for him, and their suspicions have been raised. So it's kinda interesting that some of those do also say he appeared distraught after the murders. If he's faking it, that's psychopathy, and I'm here to believe it. But is it possible that he tried to arrange some sort of shakedown/robbery that went wildly wrong? Again: in no way do I believe the guy is wholly innocent. No chance. Just the method & type of guilt I'm considering.
@@geroffmilan3328 I don't believe he is faking emotions, but I do think he might be wrestling with the fact he allowed himself to do such a heinous thing to his son and wife for what ever he reasoned in his mind at the time. Seeing them there dead, and realizing my god I did this to them.
I get anxious hearing what he was like to work with/for. Sounds so frustrating. And then, after putting up with him all those years, to find out he's a liar, a thief, a possible killer!!!
I think he wore that raincoat when he murdered them, rinsed it with the hose. He washed some clothes and coat. Then he moved the guns in it later. If they could find his original clothes and those guns, then they would have it nailed. I wonder what they have done to look for those? There are so many places he could have put them. Around here businesses have dumpsters. I can think of a million places to toss guns where i live and no one would ever find them. But he had to have been in shock at his deed, and had a time frame for his plan and alibi. I think he did not have time to plan well, though after he made the decision. Did they search the parents' house? Once things cooled, he could have moved them again. Either he did it or he hired someone to help, but another person would have changed what was going on in the videos and texts. Maybe footvabd tire prints. I just don't see anyone else doing it, but helping him away from the scene, maybe.
No. The snapchat video was the video Paul took of his dad and a poorly planted tree a few hours earlier. The video Paul took at the kennel was a regular video that was saved on his phone - and only recovered after law enforcement was able to hack Paul’s phone.
Except they are WRONG!! He will never be convicted without some kind of physical evidence and there is NONE. Alex will NEVER take the stand…. Cant believe these yahooos dont get this!!
As a former Delta Force Operator...my only question is who carries around a Rain Coat in South Carolina in the Summer when it is 96 degrees and 88 percent humidity???????
The problem is that the prosecution cannot tie AM to the raincoat. We didn't hear that there was AM's dna on the raincoat. Was the raincoat the tarp the witness was referring to? The witness described the blue thing he was carrying was like a tarp that covered a car. Doesn't sound like a raincoat to me.
Seeing how emotionally affected the partner of the firm was from seeing the crime scene....I feel for this jury having to view the crime scene photos. I would not want those images imprinted in my memory
@@robinsmith3987 The video doesn't prove murder. The video shows him having fun hanging out with Paul. The other video is just him yelling at a dog. Hardly evidence of murder.
@@angiejorah well proves he lied about where he was right before the murders occurred. glad i am not on the jury. I agree with Rock Williams comment below
Didn't the caregiver say he brought that cobalt blue color ( hard to forget that bright color) either tarp or raincoat into the house @ 6:30 am the day after the murders or was it like 3 days after the murders. The color is the obvious thing here & the material, waterproof. She said it was a tarp/raincoat- tarp to the defense / raincoat to the prosecution. It was the color she remembers clearly, not what "it" was. Found upstairs in the closet where he put it @ 6:30 am- which he had never done before. I think the prosecution needs to call her back. She is an important witness to both the timestamp & that item found upstairs. Also wish they would call the brother of hers to testify what she said in the phone call she made to him- cause she was upset when Alex told her it was 30-40 min he stayed at the house- her brother is in law enforcement.
The jury has their hands full sorting thru all the testimony. I personally believe the video in the kennel proves he did it. and thoes of us that have a moral compass will never be able to understand what made this man go so dark
If Alex was innocent, he would have brought up the criminal element theory Luke mentioned from the very beginning. Also he would be pushing his family and the police on his phone calls to protect Buster! He would be asking a lot of questions on the calls about any leads to solving it. However, instead Alex is bragging about winning gambling debts, asking Buster to protect Alex's assets, and go to law school.
5 mins before still in the crime site , but as soon as he left the brutal crime happend , and also he lied about this fact ,claim he is not there whole night....
Didn't he (AM) take off in his Dad's truck and drive somewhere on that property - according to the caretakers testimony? I think he drove off to hide the guns out on his parent's property. He took his Dad's truck cuz he was thinking about leaving his Surburban's tire tracks, maybe?
The paralegal should have asked Murdaugh “Forge what? LLC? Inc? LLP?” In business you don’t send a check out without the full name of the legal entity.
Does the raincoat belong to Alex? Does it fit him? Where has all the money gone? Maybe he was thinking the murders would be seen as revenge crimes on his family for the boat accident. Also to take the spotlight off of the deep hole he's in financially and from the lingering suspicions on the deaths of Stephen Smith and the housekeeper Gloria Satterfield. Thanks guys for the updates👍
I have an idea.. all of these ppl are attorneys or know the law well and had been robbed by Alex so what if the prosecution decided to try him for the murders whether he did it or not so they could say the motive was bc of the financial crimes bc the only defense he will have for himself is to admit he stole all that money but did not murder his family, now he's admitted under oath to those financial crimes and will be found guilty for them all... it makes more sense to me than saying he killed his family to put off being arrested for a month or 2 knowing he eventually would be regardless but now he's charged with double murder too???
This guy kills his wife and son. Then hires a friend to try and kill him during a fake car break down. He blames an opiod addiction. Then he failed to pay 4.1 or so million dollars to the family of his house maid who died at their home in a slip and fall accident. Then his estate is sued by a family of a girl who died in a boating accident caused by his son. Dude this guy is beyond guilty. Karma is cashing out. Karma is beautiful.
Could it be possible that the murders didn't happen when it is being proposed? If the time is wrong then maybe he could've had more time to change clothes, delete messages, delete car tracking info, ditch the clothes and shoes, drop the phone on the side of the road, hide the guns and so on and so on.
Paul’s phone gives the earliest time it could have been , because his last text not read is it at about 8.45 pm . Alex had no access to Paul’s phone but he did to Maggie’s . Maggie read or sent a text five minutes later, but that might well have been Alex . Whose fingerprints were on Maggie’s phone and was the screen wiped ?
Hey WLTX: You should also have a current or former PROSECUTING attorney on air to give THEIR opinion on the trial events, vs. just these 2 defense lawyers. Otherwise... good.
Will crime seen photos ever be released to the public minus the bodies of course. It's hard to follow not seeing where it all took place on the property.
What makes you think he’s going to take the stand at all? His coworkers described him as a good “bullshitter” so a jury might not believe anything he says. Also, the caretaker said it took her 5 minutes to let him in. 5 minutes to go downstairs and open a door is excessive. Her idea of time could be off.
You can clearly tell these dudes are defense attorneys with their theories of how the evidence is viewed. It isn't that hard to see what a puzzle is without all the pieces.
We know the history of the Murdaugh family name back to the start of the “legal dynasty” in 1910 with Randolph. What’s the history prior to that? Farmers? Bootleggers? Slave owners?
The statement "they did a job on them" is a massive red flag. At first I thought it was I, but ive changed my view on it. "They" seems to be a very specific statement, as if he knows exactly what who THEY is. I've always felt he had someone do the first work for him.
When they were killed. I thought too myself.. He did it.. More when he got shot... Right then for sure as I saw it on the news.. oh he shot himself ... And I was right..
Could this be an extortion case? Not sure what for...he is not an opiate user...maybe another drug. I don't believe he did it...the recording, what I heard was "they did him bad"... But who and why? The shootings does occur that there were 2 shooter because the angles...
Lots of financial evidence. But there wasn’t any life ins on the two killed. Maybe it’s revenge killing. The boating accident victim to the house keeper dying & him stealing money. Could be someone who’s pissed off at him.
why aren't they mentioning the fact that in paul's video, you clearly hear alex say, what's the matter paul, paul says, nothing dad..go back and listen to it, you will def hear it, why aren't they talking about it?
Did I miss something. How did he touch the bodies, turn them over yet no blood on his clothing or him. Was there any blood on his footwear? was that explained.
Don't think it was a distraction. Think he saw his life unraveling and utterly as selfish and self serving and a liar he was..he blamed his wife and Paul.
Yeah. There is proably a bigger story here. So far we know that he was, for some reason, stealing money from his law firm and clients but I'm confused as to how these things could be motive for murdering his family. How could doing that be a solution to the problems he had created for himself? Apparently, the prosecution thinks that there is a connection or they are using this to sway the jury. Hopefully, the jury will not convict him of murder on the basis that he's a thief.
Those events caused him to fail off the edge that he had been standing on since 2015 when he started stealing money. His aggressive arrogance and lifestyle of having what he wants .....
Prosecution is establishing the exposure or threat of exposure of his financial misdeeds was motive. Witnesses have testified that the loss of M and P did distract from concerns they'd had about AMs behavior, or in the case of the boat case, from the investment in getting as much money from him as possible. After the loss of M and P, he was regarded as an at-risk victim (no longer a villain) who needed to be cared for. I forget which witness (I think his partner) said they never suspected AM until the roadside fiasco. But yes I hope we get an explanation some day of where all the money went.
I'm curious if Alex will use his drug addic and drug trafficking as he pissed off the wrong guys. He going to try and spin this. His lawyer showed how low he'll stoop to work the juniors into believing the prosecution is cutting him off, it was Pathetic !!
The Sheeley bros who are analyzing, seem to be only interested in generating new business by positioning themselves as "good" attorneys and feels like they have a bias-- towards the accused. They point out holes in the State evidence more than show what the State could do better.. You know? I like the other lady who is covering this. She seems smart and unbiased. And to be honest, it is hard to stay unbiased in this case with overwhelming evidence against the accused. I cannot wait for the Behavior Panel to analyze this.
It's seeded in most that he was a liar thief, drug trafficker not sure if that will come up in this case. They might try and spin this saying he dealed with drug trafficking and pissed off the wrong guy, or he wouldn't do what they told me to do. Just watch !! I know his kind !! He thinks he's real clever. But it's going to be hard to explain what the phones said !! I LOVE CELL PHONES !!
I’m definitely no legal scholar I didn’t even play one in a movie 😂 , but why did the judge allow the unproven financial crimes come into this case, I could see that act providing grounds for a mistrial as one is not related to the other. Can anyone tell me how he managed to commit such a messy crime with out getting blood splatter and stippling on him, we’ve all seen how jfks head exploded from one riffle shell now multiple this by a factor of about 100 times for the shotgun to the head of Alex’s kid, I’ve seen self inflicted head shots from a shotgun and everything within 15 ft is literally covered in blood and brain matter so how did mr murdough not get so much as a speck of blow back
I bet Alex never imagined they would find out when his suburban went in and out of park. Busted !
The prosecution didn't prove when his Suburban went in and out of park either. Why didn't the prosecution contact GM or Onstar? Because it would have gone against their theory of the murders.
GM has that data.
@@angiejorah You might want to watch the video again.
@@O2life the video of bs evidence. No thanks. Why didn't they just subpoena gm for the records? Answer- they couldn't manipulate it.

Who'd have believed that someone waited for him to leave, to visit his mom, to shoot his wife. She isn't the one anyone wad angry with.
I agree... he was setting up the caregiver to be his alibi... even offered her money for her 'wedding'...

He didn't have a long time span to methodically plan this . Hence, there are a few key errors in the commission of the murders.

1700 acres of swamp. Coulda dissembled the parts and thrown them among the mangroves.
It took SLED months to search his mother's home... and that was his alibi!! Seems like a big fail...
Look in his father's coffin.
Thanks for the update and having two intelligent attorneys give their analysis. 👍
The states "smoking gun" evidence isn't the GSR. It's always been the snapchat video.
No. The snapchat video was the video Paul took of his dad and a poorly planted tree a few hours earlier. The video Paul took at the kennel was a regular video that was saved on his phone - and only recovered after law enforcement was able to hack Paul’s phone.
The guy, Uncle Eddie, he hired to "pow pow" at him may testify as he is in custody...so that should be interesting
Best recap on UA-cam! Thanks so much

He will NEVER be convicted of murder without some kind of physical evidence.

As a former Delta Force Operator...my only question is who carries around a Rain Coat in South Carolina in the Summer when it is 96 degrees and 88 percent humidity???????
Key word, HUMIDITY. 88 per cent, none the less. LE also said that it had been raining that evening.
A killer
It rains a lot in the south during the summer. I'm from Socal and found it bizarre myself when I first moved out there.
The problem was that he tried to hide that raincoat. He brought it over to his mom's house unusually early on a morning.

@@angiejorah Did to me. And very suspicious that he took it upstairs and that was all that was found - no tarp found
I've been wondering why in the world he didn't throw it in a dumpster or destroy it.
Yes. They did find a tarp. It was in a closet over dishes. Forget the agent's name, she testified to it.
She is a great witness; the defense lawyer tried to derail her, and he was unsuccessful.
Who is she?
Was there life insurance policies on the wife and son What is his motive for killing his family

Looks like a tarp to me….great description….can’t see hood when it’s held like a bundle.
Could it be that he hid the gun in the raincoat to shot them so they wouldn't see him coming with the gun?
Alec was packing up before the bomb threat like he knew there would be a disruption in his trial.
Do you hear yourself?? Yes, he called it in himself!!
Why did he visit his Mom instead of his dad who just took a turn for the worst?

I still say there is a secret underground bunker on the Murdaugh property.
Guaranteed with cash money
There are many little boys and slaves trapped down there, chained up for Alex’s pleasure when he’s not reaming Buster

Who names their fake company "Forge"? 🤦♀️🤦♀️
The irony! If course there was a real Forge.
Similar to the name of a legitimate client. His paralegal stated she put the client's name and he told her no, use just Forge.
I seriously wonder what happened to that man ?
To act like that , with his upbringing , all the knowledge
And expirience, doesnt sound right .🤔
The paralegal should have asked Murdaugh “Forge what? LLC? Inc? LLP?” In business you don’t send a check out without the full name of the legal entity.
He’s so clever
Alex has something else to admit.
And folded it in a way that preserved the evidence.
Some visual aids would be helpful... especially the timeline...

The raincoat could easily be misidentified as a tarp. It's the exact same color, and it's huge. I think reasonable jurors will recognize that.
Wordcrafting and distortion is what many defence lawyers defer to in order to get a guilty person free.
Will crime seen photos ever be released to the public minus the bodies of course. It's hard to follow not seeing where it all took place on the property.
What makes you think he’s going to take the stand at all? His coworkers described him as a good “bullshitter” so a jury might not believe anything he says. Also, the caretaker said it took her 5 minutes to let him in. 5 minutes to go downstairs and open a door is excessive. Her idea of time could be off.
You can clearly tell these dudes are defense attorneys with their theories of how the evidence is viewed. It isn't that hard to see what a puzzle is without all the pieces.
We know the history of the Murdaugh family name back to the start of the “legal dynasty” in 1910 with Randolph. What’s the history prior to that? Farmers? Bootleggers? Slave owners?
The statement "they did a job on them" is a massive red flag. At first I thought it was I, but ive changed my view on it.
"They" seems to be a very specific statement, as if he knows exactly what who THEY is.
I've always felt he had someone do the first work for him.
Will he take the stand?
Nah
Highly doubt it
With all the financial cases yet to come, l doubt it.
Why take the stand when the State has nothing?
@@angiejorah are u blind
I think the jury already knows what they are all going to do I think it will be a fast verdict… who else could have done it?
Theyve shown NOTHING proving murder…..no physical evidence at all……just like with OJ he will walk unless they find some kind of physical evidence.
The defense questions are desperately reaching.
When they were killed. I thought too myself.. He did it.. More when he got shot... Right then for sure as I saw it on the news.. oh he shot himself ... And I was right..
It only take 1 person to get a hung jury It'a town where everyone knows them
Could this be an extortion case? Not sure what for...he is not an opiate user...maybe another drug. I don't believe he did it...the recording, what I heard was "they did him bad"... But who and why? The shootings does occur that there were 2 shooter because the angles...
Lots of financial evidence. But there wasn’t any life ins on the two killed. Maybe it’s revenge killing. The boating accident victim to the house keeper dying & him stealing money. Could be someone who’s pissed off at him.
why aren't they mentioning the fact that in paul's video, you clearly hear alex say, what's the matter paul, paul says, nothing dad..go back and listen to it, you will def hear it, why aren't they talking about it?
Did I miss something. How did he touch the bodies, turn them over yet no blood on his clothing or him. Was there any blood on his footwear? was that explained.
He changed clothes....
@@conquerfear8371 lol but when
Why haven’t tested blue stain t shirt with blue dye rain coat??
Don't think it was a distraction. Think he saw his life unraveling and utterly as selfish and self serving and a liar he was..he blamed his wife and Paul.
Yeah. There is proably a bigger story here. So far we know that he was, for some reason, stealing money from his law firm and clients but I'm confused as to how these things could be motive for murdering his family. How could doing that be a solution to the problems he had created for himself? Apparently, the prosecution thinks that there is a connection or they are using this to sway the jury. Hopefully, the jury will not convict him of murder on the basis that he's a thief.
Those events caused him to fail off the edge that he had been standing on since 2015 when he started stealing money. His aggressive arrogance and lifestyle of having what he wants .....
Prosecution is establishing the exposure or threat of exposure of his financial misdeeds was motive. Witnesses have testified that the loss of M and P did distract from concerns they'd had about AMs behavior, or in the case of the boat case, from the investment in getting as much money from him as possible. After the loss of M and P, he was regarded as an at-risk victim (no longer a villain) who needed to be cared for. I forget which witness (I think his partner) said they never suspected AM until the roadside fiasco. But yes I hope we get an explanation some day of where all the money went.
Wife was divorcing him, son had pending lawsuit against him for boating accident. Both liabilities.
@@nygrl6102 How do we know wife was divorcing him? Where did that information come from?
Why is Mr. Berry wearing an opossum on his head? Is that a southern thing?
These expert guests are not experts
I'm curious if Alex will use his drug addic and drug trafficking as he pissed off the wrong guys. He going to try and spin this. His lawyer showed how low he'll stoop to work the juniors into believing the prosecution is cutting him off, it was Pathetic !!
He is a POCrap
not his normal self.....there is nothing normal about demonic AM
The Sheeley bros who are analyzing, seem to be only interested in generating new business by positioning themselves as "good" attorneys and feels like they have a bias-- towards the accused. They point out holes in the State evidence more than show what the State could do better.. You know? I like the other lady who is covering this. She seems smart and unbiased. And to be honest, it is hard to stay unbiased in this case with overwhelming evidence against the accused.
I cannot wait for the Behavior Panel to analyze this.
Does everyone look like Alex Murdaugh?
Yes, so many strawberry blonds and redheads.
It's seeded in most that he was a liar thief, drug trafficker not sure if that will come up in this case. They might try and spin this saying he dealed with drug trafficking and pissed off the wrong guy, or he wouldn't do what they told me to do. Just watch !! I know his kind !! He thinks he's real clever. But it's going to be hard to explain what the phones said !! I LOVE CELL PHONES !!
I’m definitely no legal scholar I didn’t even play one in a movie 😂 , but why did the judge allow the unproven financial crimes come into this case, I could see that act providing grounds for a mistrial as one is not related to the other. Can anyone tell me how he managed to commit such a messy crime with out getting blood splatter and stippling on him, we’ve all seen how jfks head exploded from one riffle shell now multiple this by a factor of about 100 times for the shotgun to the head of Alex’s kid, I’ve seen self inflicted head shots from a shotgun and everything within 15 ft is literally covered in blood and brain matter so how did mr murdough not get so much as a speck of blow back
I find it interesting that among the witnesses testifying is a woman named Annette Griswold and Cousin Eddie.
Is Clark Griswold her husband? Rusty Griswold had red hair too. Eddie Haskell?
A couple of ambulance chasers on here as consultants.
Shody police work. Gisnhand should have been tested for residue righ then. Tire marks‽?
Like forge a check
I like these two experts but they can’t have an excuse for everything. Too many coincidences ro explain away. Put bias away
I’ve said from getgo he’ll claim it’s mob or gangsters
So we've heard from a McAllister and Griswold.
When will we hear from Scrooge??
Cousin Eddy coming too... lol
@@lynndimit7865 Maybe we will see a Mr. Papagorgeo lol
Moderator: You are looking a little seedy. Time for a haircut.
Is it true that the murdered son had death threats in regards the boating accident??
They were avid hunters ! His dad may have used it , it was in his moms house .

2mill?? You mean 9 mill….
I was trying to mentally add up the thefts and was at 10 million. Maybe in some sick way the 10 million mark was his goal.
