Please tell me who says "it's a chicken," immediately after Paul says "it's a chicken" ...she is standing right up next to him. It's a younger lady.
The Murdaugh’s are not the only family like that out there. Hampton County is not the only country like that out there. Hampton County law-enforcement are not the only corrupt people like that out there. “IT’S AN AMERICAN CULTURE”. There’s more people like that out there. Those kind of people love little towns with so much power in their hands, the pain of others will be invisible.
Hearing Anthony say “do y’all know Alex Murdaugh? That’s his son. Good luck.” Sent chills down my spine. My heart is absolutely broken for him. 😭
She was murdaughed by Paul
It was like a moment from a movie. This whole case is.
You can hear the pain and anger in his voice. If they didn't stop him from going at Murdaugh he wouldn't have been able to stop once he started hitting him.
Yakno that saying “you couldn’t write it” you really couldn’t write this case if u didn’t know it was true you’d think it was fiction
Anthony sounds like a smart man. He knew exactly what to say. "Why are you smiling?"
Poor guy. I hope he's doing well now, along with that poor girls family. Alex Murdaugh is disgusting, and I'm not sorry, it seems like his son was too. The Murdaughs are a horrible family.
Imagine hearing they have a video with your voice on it that was recorded by your own dead son that you killed and if it weren't for that video you might have gotten away with it.... Brutal!
It was perfect and his son brought his moms killer and his killer to justice. He has no real soul. Wow is he a LIAR.
i’ve been trying to find the moment he realizes this. is it in the trial ?
@@rachealfaucher4520 That’s a good question. I’d like to know that too.
Thank goodness for that video or I think Alex would have gotten away with it.
@@rachealfaucher4520 I’m sure they told him after he was arrested in the interrogation room. I don’t know if an interrogation tape is out there
People, who seem to have it all, often lack compassion on quite every level. What a gruesome case…
Cause they greedy, i personally NEVER met a greedy compassionate person.
@@jkweili right! Absolutely!
Sociopathy
@@vivalaleta couldn’t agree more
In the state of New Jersey, if somebody dies at home inside the home or outside the home by law, an autopsy has to be done whether the family wants it or not. If you die in the hospital, no autopsy is required unless the family requests. It’s unbelievable that no autopsy was done on the housekeeper. May she rest in peace.
Well I suppose that would be relevant IF THEY LIVED IN NJ which jus so happens to hold the distinction of being the single SMELLIEST STATE IN THE COUNTRY HANDS DOWN. However much like the original comment it has as much to do with the case as the price of tea in China (as my grandfather used to say when I was a kid growing up in Boston…see I’m making a comment full of completely useless yet interesting information too. 😂😂 I’m only poking fun 😊
Poor woman. RIP ✌️❤️
NJ has some of the most corrupt lawyers and and corrupt judicial system is controlled by them. I am in NJ and have seen that over multiple years.
@@ProudBostonianMan, youre strange...
I think IL has the same rule.
So glad it’s finally over, this guy lived above the law for so long.
It amazes me Gingers were able to reach this level amongst the Southern High Society. I mean I bet their teeth look like they just ate a bunch of Flaming Hot Chetoos.
It's not over. His son is going down for that boating accident.
@@Mysasser1 his son is dead is he not?
@@Mysasser1 How??? They bringing him back from the dead?
@@bubzm954 Buster(still alive) lend his ID to Paul (dead). That's how Paul was able to buy the alcahol and go into the bar
The only thing he admitted to was being a drug addict. And That was for sympathy only. He never took responsibility for his thieving ways - that was the drugs, not him. He never took responsibility for all the deaths and all the lives destroyed. Only "yes, I stole but that was because of the addiction which I had no control over." What a worthless pos.
Absofuckinlutely 💯 FACTS!!!!! I still can't believe that the DOJ hasn't come into the low country to investigate & CLEAN HOUSE on ALL of the CORRUPTION that IS going on & HAS been going on!!!!!!!! 😳 If you don't know about the Murdaugh Murders podcast by Mandy Matney, you should watch them, she has been covering & investigating everything for over 4 years now....She has exposed judges, other lawyers, the SC law school, the state legislatures, everything that is CORRUPT within SC & the low country!!!! I'm on episode 79 right now with alot more to go...She, her friend Liz & her fiance who becomes her husband finally at some point in the podcasts are the ones who do them & they are REAL investigative journalists!!!!!! NOT like the Main Stream Media!!!!! It's very refreshing!!!!!
He turned his kid over looking for his pills
exactly, I am sick of these people using drugs as their scape goat
When poor drug addicts commit crimes they go to jail
@@scotttafil7584 i was wondering that too. I heard Paul was also addicted to opiates but dont know it was true
You don’t become that rich and highly influential in the community by being a good person. His family has been corrupt for DECADES. Stuff like this has been going on in communities forever.
It’s ironic that Alex lied on the dogs; said they killed the housekeeper, but it was Bubba the dog who tricked Alex into speaking on the Snapchat video. Good boy Bubba, the dogs have redeemed themselves ❤.
That’s soo true never thought about that !
What are you talking about?
@@jamiegarrett3869 The dogs had their day in court!
@@starbaby849 You didn't answer my question
@@jamiegarrett3869 Alex told his insurance company his family dogs made his housekeeper fall down the stairs leading to her death. That was not true. Later on the family dog Bubba had a guinea in his mouth, Alex can be heard on Paul’s Snapchat video chastising Bubba thus proving he was present just before his wife and son were murdered.
Alex never thought of modern technology, Paul unintentionally handed over his murderer to the police.
God works in mystery ways unfortunately its 😔 sad
i think he did and actually tried to use it for his "Alibi". I believe, he did not know, that Paul made a Video. Otherwise that Phone would be somewhere in the Water.
Why do they only show it up to a point? Where is the rest of it that might say differently?
@Ole Woodworm Alex admitted to trying to grab Paul's phone out of his pocket bc he said it was half way out but stopped bc he said he couldn't grab it all the way...... js why you do that if you didn't take into consideration modern technology. He also threw his phone so it wasn't pining by the kennels. He knew about modern technology but even with getting rid of it all they have to do is sopena the cell phone company and boom they have his entire cloud. Alex was in a panic and just thought the people he knew we wouldn't ever put him as a suspect he was wrong but he knew about modern technology lol
@@coryvallad7578 First of all, he said he did have it in his Hands and put it back down.
2.) When did i say he did not know about modern Technology? Of course he did. He used that in his Cases.
And btw you can drown the Phone in a bucket of Water (does a Bell ring?) and it dies. Then get rid off.
No one tells the story as good as 48 hours
Yes!!! Totally agree!
Great sound track
It’s one of my favorite shows!
Very true!!
HBO Max told it better. Just wish they would’ve waited until the trial was over
I watched the Netflix documentary and as a mom myself it broke my heart when Mallory’s mom asked the police to let her see the boat and where the accident had happened they denied her that because it was a crime scene but when Alex and his wife showed up they let them step all over the crime scene and evidence.
not saying his wife and kid got what they deserved but if his son was still alive he would still be living his life as if he didn’t recklessly killed Mallory so at least her parents got a little bit of justice
You’re nicer than I am. I’ll say it- the world had been relieved of three terrible people. Hopefully buster chooses not to continue his families legacy.
Alex’s brother john is no better. The whole Murdaugher gang is bad news. It goes back to their great grand father. It’s just catching up with them. There will be light at the end of their dark tunnel.
@I see do you research. Being feared because somebody has money isn’t the same as being respected. That guy helped with the whole boat situation. Instead of doing the right thing as an adult, he cleaned the whole scene and helped make it go away. He even admitted to it. Randy is the somewhat “normal”
Brother.
Just remember she was drinking too on the boat, they all went to bars for more drinks and she with boyfriend got into boat knowing the driver was wasted. This is nothing new. Just look at the statistics on boat accidents and alcohol. They go hand in hand. Young people need to be taught common sense by parents and be responsible.
Nobody is suppose to die like this ok. But I do NOT feel sorry for Maggie OR Paul. Maggie was just as underhanded as her husband and children. She lived by it and DIED by it.
It’s really nice to see someone of his “regard” not get away with it. Too often do these people get off with nothing
I absolutely cannot stand how this man continued to implicitly blame the family of the girl who was tragically killed on that boat, even in his testimony at trial. He is a piece of sh8t of the highest order.
Right. He indirectly tried to blame them or her boyfriend who was heartbroken. Trauma all over again. Smh.
What's a piece of sheight? Oh and of the highest order 😃
He even tried to frame Connor Cool for most of it. Look at the witness sketch he tried to pull for the roadside shooting incident. The sketch looked exactly like Connor who they tried to roll over as the driver of the boat.
He is a disgusting creep!!!
@@paulgibbon4045 a piece of 💩, of the highest order. That’s what it means.
This guy did too much. There are quiet a few bodies behind this story. Imagine finding out your husband is a monster. Constantly covering his sons mistakes…. His whole world was crumbling under his feet and he was trying to clean up but just made the whole situation cave on his head. This man deserved everything he got!
Anyone who doesn't know their S/O is a "monster" is naive, stupid or both. The longer the relationship the less excuses.
@@MrSefiroh I can agree with that.
She knew full well who her husband was.
One story even more haunting, Chris & Shanann Watts.
Maggie covered for her sons, too. They were never disciplined and taught morals and ethics.
I do not wish bad on anyone, but I get the overwhelming feeling that every member of this family is where they deserve to be.
Whew…this comment is exactly how I feel…😮
That’s cold but oh so true 😬 i don’t disagree.
You think Buster is so decent? I doubt it .
@@ronnynoneofyourbusinessgoo7892buster was implicated in the death of a gay teen that went to his school I believe
Buster needs to be behind bars too but other than that, I agree
Gets caught once, tries suicide one day later. When that fails, tries to make it look like a random attempted homicide. Still failed. Gets caught again, murders his family as an attempt to divert attention SAME DAY. When that fails, claims innocence. Now a woman has come forward claiming she was raped and beaten twice by him. Do I believe her? Absolutely. And someone really needs to investigate the death of their housekeeper that. “ fell down the stairs.” and died. I really think more and more things are going to come to light now that the trial is over.
Wait what ?? What woman came forward about being raped ?!!!! I’ve not seen or heard about that 😮😮😮
Paul brought his evil dad down all the way around from the boat crash to his snap chat video.
AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
It's amazing how fast tv studios can put together an episode, seeing as how the trial ended just one day last week. Amazing.
A lot of this is coverage already released. The second half is newer content.
They’ve had most of this episode ready for a few weeks, most likely.
I Gues Netflix has everyone on their toes.
well, its exciting, so i guess thats part of it
@@ps123fan yes, it is exciting to watch how some people can f**k up their lives so bad!
Narcissistic people are always delusional. I guarantee his “friends” and family would agree. He didn’t just start being a narcissist the night of the murders. The reason narcissists go unchecked is because no one wants to deal with them because we all know it will do no good and those people are exhausting.
Yeah telling the truth hurts these people
Really a sad situation. For many years Alex, his wife and two sons enjoyed the lifestyle that came from his greediness and repugnant acts and finally because of the boat accident his financial troubles were exposed and in the end they were also his victims. This man is immoral.
Thank you for providing these relatively current 48Hours episodes for free!
This guy had everything and wasted it all. He will never see the light of day again. Appeal all you like, he will never be free.
yo yo yo what gudd gurl!?
No. He stole everything. He was eventually going to lose it all anyway.
Alex was facing a major cash crunch because of Paul and Maggie. The boat trial is coming up and Paul would need a very good lawyer. Maggie wanted to divorce and that alone would cut into half is assets
Did he? Wife was suspicious of him and living separately. His son Paul was living with uncle John Marvin. Lie after lie. His wealth was from hiding money and stealing from many.
Alex and Buster have black shark eyes. It's unsettling.
They really do!! 🦈 👁️
True.
Y'know when they say "Oh he didn't look like a killer" about murderers? Well this guy *LOOKED* like a murderer. Seriously he's got the eeriest hollow eyed grin. 😳
Not only did he accuse one of the other kids on the boat of being responsible for it crashing he then tried to blame one of them or their friends or family for the killing of Maggie and Paw Paw - despicable
If they would have done something with this family long ago many people would still be alive.
AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
I'm just praying 🙏 that Buster IS next 🙏 for his role 🙏 in Stephen Smith's death 🙏....He & his mother Sandy DESERVE 🙏 justice ⚖️ 🙏 as well 🙏
100%!
Grandad running Many of the coverups early on should be facing charges. Or did he already kick it and I missed that information?
Amen
Agreed! Too many times these people are exempt from any kind of accountability..if this butthead had been dealt with earlier these folks might be alive
I've watched this video already but it pops back up every freaking day. Anyone else or just me?
If true, there's a reason Maggie's close friends didn't know she had seen a divorce attorney. She knew eventually it would get back to Alex. All these women would have probably told at least one other person until the whole town knew. She apparently knew her friends.
Maggie never went to a divorce attorney. If she did the prosecution would have brought that up a motive
@@DanRagoo how would they know if she went to a divorce attorney? That would be attorney-client privileged information, which does not expire upon the death of the client.
@@cosmoplakat9549 attorney client privilege can be waived by the next of kin.
@@DanRagoo so you're saying that her husband, who is also her murderer, would have been reaching out to divorce attorneys around for them to waive that so that the PROSECUTION could use it against him?
@@annedavis3340 did they even ask him to waive attorney client privilege
I can’t stop studying this case! Really has haunted me. Thankful for the guilty verdict 🙏🏼 RIP to all
those affected by this family ❤🕊️
Me to, it's all I think about
Hi, same here, just can't stop rewatching, and picking up a lot of missed parts! Great trial, modern Shakespeare.
Me too! I watched most of it as it was happening. But I’ve been rewatching and catching things too, and how they all fit together now.
@@erinbremer5490 me to it's like I can't stop, I wonder if he was high when he killed them
@@tanyadaniel6704I understand your question about his state of mind. I can tell you for sure however, with lots of personal experience with opioid addiction, that once you are a couple of months in, you don’t get “high” anymore. You merely seek the opioids to remain functional. It doesn’t take long, after a few weeks of continual use, for your brain to start to rely on the opioids, just as it relies on food. The brain stops producing natural dopamine, because the opioids are flooding the opioid receptors beyond their capacity. It’s nothing like being wasted on alcohol,,where one becomes dysfunctional. The rush of dopamine greatly enhances one’s motivation and enthusiasm., without lack of motor control. The derelict addicts we’ve been propagandized to recognize as the “addict” reality,is false. It’s very common to function as normal, but more likely above normal, when dependent upon opioids. They actually enhance abilities in a productive person. As for the downtrodden street addicts, I think that would be their fate, regardless of the substances they’ve ingested.
still cannot believe he is 54. He looks 84. so much for all that cash
He’s very pale. Pale people wrinkle easily.
So strange that he kills the one son and his wife, yet he was willing to die so that his other son could get a payout. Like the most extreme selfishness to ultimate selflessness. That's one effed up guy.
This whole family thought they were untouchable and could get away with anything, oh how the mighty have fallen.
I feel so bad for all the people that lost their lives.
For Stephen Smith, Mallory Beach and Gloria Satterfield for sure. Less so for Paul and Maggie Murdaugh since they were apparently so unconcerned about Paul's role in Mallory's death.
Right
No one has ever lost their life because we are not our body. Life is infinite. ☀️💕
@@LichtAnker. 🧐
and their money.
The saddest thing is that she was terrified until her last moments. I hope she was unconscious and wasnt struggling under water. This was just so tragic. I pray her family finds peace and comfort
RIP
TERRIBLE
Consequences must be seen
I believe Mallory hit her head and was not aware of her death or pain. Only aware of the hand from heaven reaching for her and the light of God. She was a precious girl who went to heaven. She is safe and enjoying time with grandparents and people who went before her. God is so good !
I know a man who was saved drowning as a boy at the last moment. First he was panicking, but then he saw his life before his eyes and peace came over him. He actually was mad being saved.
@@FourHuskyHomestead If you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ Is Lord, you shall be saved.........that's the only way to get there.
What does the Bible say about believe with your heart?
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Her boyfriend said he was hanging onto her but had to let her go in order to save himself and get to shore.
A big THANK YOU to Paul’s video.
Excellent coverage of the case as always 💯
Crazy how powerful Snapchat turned out to be in this case...just wild
Social media IS the police.
Also in the Delphi case!
The Halderson case too, very helpful to LE
Who else is ready for the other trials to begin?
I hope all the families get justice ⚖️
i know Gloria was probably killed by Maggie. She needs justice
Unfortunately I don’t think anyone else in the family will be arrested/brought to trial
@@dragonzone-le5hvyou reckon the mum was a killer too?
Great documentary! Well done!
I watched this trial from start to finish. I’m still recovering. 🤯🥴
What’s so astonishing is this seems to be a family of murderers. Alex wasn’t home when Gloria died - but Maggie was. Same Maggie that was upset Gloria found Alex’s pills and handed them to Paul (she. Wasn’t comfortable handing them to Maggie), Maggie refused to perform CPR and it’s Maggie sounding irritated on the 911 call for having to answer basic questions.
We know about Alex and his sons but I strongly suspect Maggie was not a good person either
She handed the phone to Paul, that’s him being arrogant about the operator’s questions
Tho I agree she sounds like an unpleasant snob
He said he was present. So either it was him that pushed her and then got out of there, or it was Maggie. The incentive was the life insurance which should have gone to Gloria's kids. They didn't get one cent. And tripping over dogs? Did anyone hear dogs in the background? No
@@SKILLIUSCAESAR Maggie was the first on the phone because she was the only one to be around when Gloria supposedly fell. It was Maggie who refused to do CPR and it was Maggie getting irritated 911 had the audacity to ask questions. In a huff she handed the phone to Paul
@@christophluger793 Alex the man caught lying a million times? Yes he did. And one of the workers on property that day said he saw Alex leave right before Gloria showed up. He wasn’t home
@@christophluger793 also if Alex had been home than I have no doubt Maggie would have handed the phone to her husband not her son
I’ve never heard 1 persons name pronounced so many different ways.
3:50 Notice how he nods his head “Yes” as he answers, “I would NEVER hurt Maggie”.
Yes. He did that several times during trial too.
Paul sounds like he was a big, p.o.s rich kid, but he didn’t deserve to die the way he did. Maggie’s death is even more heartbreaking, she may have had to watch her son die by his father before being brutally killed herself.. Just monstrous. I’m so glad Alex was found guilty. I hope prison is the worst experience of his life.
I've been waiting for this comment. No one deserves to be murdered, but I'm so tired of people automatically becoming saints when they're a crime victim.
@@shanao6115 thanks lol! I could have worded it *much* harsher in all honesty, but it seemed unnecessary
yes, he did deserve it , mags not so much
Paul got karma. He took a life and forfeited his own.
@GodspellFlower FR Oh I agree! I could use some pretty colorful language for the entire family, maybe besides the mom. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with this opinion!
The jury got it right. Alex traded his life of privilege for a jail cell. This is all on him. Now he has the rest of his pathetic life to think about it. I honestly think he will take the cowards way out soon enough.
Regardless, I doubt he has the capacity to feel guilt, shame or remorse.
@@mrs.hancock4124 still hates prison 😂
@D Mercury My brother & I agree with you 💯!!!!! Prison life is going to be WAY different than his little county jail cell WAS!!!!! Especially once he gets targeted & you know what in prison 🙄 🤔....
He might not have to make that choice for himself. He’s going to prison with people his family has put away for generations. Hope he was a better lawyer to them then he was a husband and father. Also hope he truly finds Jesus before meeting him.
Someone may be waiting for ole Alec in prison. He will either get killed or he’ll join a crime ring and become a kingpin.
If I was Buster, I'd be pretty terrified that my Dad might try to put a hit on me to keep trying to convince people there's someone else out there
48hours present the investigation in an understandable way. Thank you all the team.
Nothing has been mentioned about the bar that the under age boys were served in after walking in already intoxicated. They hold responsibility as far as the law goes.
The bar is included in Mark Tinsley's case on behalf of the Beach family as well as the Parker's gas station where he also bought alcohol that night...Mark Tinsley is NOT leaving anyone out!!!!!
@@emily3 If they appeared to be already intoxicated, the bar shouldn't have served them no matter their age - with or without ID.
The boat case has it in the law suit.
@@emily3 I know from recently completing alcohol certification yes at least here in FL those continuing to serve the obviously very intoxicated do hold some responsibility(I think this now holds true in many states).
As is the person at the store sold Paul all that beer off his brother's ID. Yes, they look very similar but for starters as I recall his brother is quite a bit taller. This definitely should've been spotted.
I am all for idiots learning from their own mistakes, but can appreciate the reasons behind those serving alcohol being held strictly accountable. Fact is had the establishments supplying them alcohol been diligent & refused them, that beautiful girl Mallory would very likely be alive today. So tragic.
@@pamelafrye4667 not sure about SC but from my recent alcohol certification in FL they most definitely are responsible! If they had done their F'ING job that poor girl would still be alive. 💔
wow, brilliant job covering the details in this case. i enjoyed your videos even more than the netflix series.
keep up the amazing work, mate!
There was so much evidence against this narcissist that his attorneys had absolutely nothing but try for a mistrial
Evilness portrayed. Glad he is finally in prison for life!
Evil personified
I can not recall any situation where family honor, legacy and wealth endures.... it is a myth. Stop chasing the dollar - it is futile. Look what misery came to this family full of hubris and apparent invencibility. What a classic tragedy. If Shakespeare could get this story down on paper wow.
Never read about the Kennedys?
@@curtisenglish1520 perfect example. Crooked and tragic but appeared to be noble... All humans are flawed and death is our great equalizer.
I just noticed something interesting. The bailiff that led Alex away the day of his sentencing was in the courtroom, as a spectator, the day of the closing arguments. He is sitting right behind Alex in a brown suit and yellow shirt.
This case got me hooked ! So happy it’s over ! So so sad 😢
He thought he was such a great liar that he could lie out of being a liar.
He was a terrible liar. Every detail was contradictory. He had to change his story repeatedly. He created a mountain of incriminating evidence with his lies so easy to disprove. He basically did nothing right. His mind was too warped to even plot it out
This guy could have had a comfortable life without stealing people's money. But this man is so selfish, he sacrificed his wife and son to get sympathy and get more time. Everything he was trying to prevent coming to light, ended up coming to light anyway. But he made it worse by killing and stealing more money
⚖️ thank you for all the quality content you post. I prefer the longer videos like this that have good quality then frequent short posts, but may e that is just me 😄
Can’t wait to see the movie! I’m sure Hollywood is already preparing for it. Probably be a mini series.
Noah Nicholas Emmerich to play Alex Murdaugh.
The prosecution in this case was excellent. They built a rock solid case with excellent witnesses and great cell phone data. They've definitely proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he did this to his wife and son.
Agree. You have to account for that SLED had strong ties to the Murdoch's, so the investigation was botched in a lot of ways.
Disagree, don’t get me wrong, I think he did it but they got lucky with the guilty verdict thankfully. The investigation was botched, the testimonies were shaky at best. Good thing the jury went on their gut feeling (which you’re NOT supposed to do) and found him guilty. This MONSTER could have easily gotten away with this but Justice was served!!
He lied and lied right off the bat...Why lie if you didn't do it?? I smelled a rat as soon as I saw the interrogation videos...His blubbering and carrying on looked fake and put on to me.
@@christophluger793 hi what is SLED?
@@feelmebeme the police department in this district.
Jury and judge were great. So long Alex.
Damn Ginger got what he had comin to em, mhmmmm hummmmmmhm
The most frustrating part of this case is the fact that his name is spelled "Alex" and is pronounced "Alec".
RIGHT!
Ugh, hello 👋🏻. On top of that, his last name is Murdaugh, but he pronounces it Murdock. His whole name is frustrating.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yes!!!!
It's an Irish thing...He is of Irish decent....
My great grandfather in Texas was an Alex, pronounced Elec. I’d never run into that anywhere else before. I always thought it was a country thing.
This whole case has just had me In a chokehold. Everything there is to watch I have watched, I feel like I’ve read every article I could find too. It’s all so awful. And Mallory dying on that boat breaks my heart. She and I had the same birthday so though I have zero connection, I feel connected to her. It’s awful. Truly. I don’t understand why it took them an entire week to find her! It’s insane to me.
The water currents moved her body far from the scene, and they had to comb the waters closest to where it happened. Many bodies that end up in the water are never found. Thankfully, she was.
@@Annie497 Yeah, the boyfriend said that he kept going under the water to try to find her that night after they first crashed, and there was a very strong current he was fighting against. Very sad.
Sadly, Mallory was found 5 miles down river. Thank God the people that found her promptly called the authorities.
You have to understand the endless miles of waterways in the Lowcountry :creeks,rivers,currents, tides and marshes. It was a miracle she was found at all. I am so glad they did find her...for her family's sake. As a Mother who has also lost a child, my heart breaks for them all, but especially for Mallory's Mom and Dad.
@@terribarrett9381 my family is from Savannah, so I’m very familiar with low country but I still think it’s very sad it took as long as it did. I also lost my older brother and only sibling in 2020 and we could barely get any help from law enforcement with investigating his death, so I understand first hand what that devastation does to a family. I’m very sorry for your loss ❤️
"From day 1 ground 0 the effort was, what can we do to get Paul out of this?"
Well Paul your dad did a great job, he got you out of it alright, but I don't think you expected him to accomplish that by blowing your head and brains right off your shoulders!
I know a lot of us were waiting for this...thank you!
Best coverage of this case.. Thanks 48hours, great job !
Excellent conviction
I guess insulting the jury’s intelligence by saying it was common sense for it to have been 2 shooters bc there were 2 guns used…..backfired on him.
I've been hooked on this case since the documentary.
Before that
First words out of his mouth to the cops were "it's a long story." His wife & son are dead, he's talking to the police without an attorney, and he's running his mouth about "long story"
There's so much death surrounding that family! All of them need another look!
I'm obsessed with this whole crazy trial.
Gosh, there's just so many deaths linked to that family! You have the long time housekeeper that died... But was without a doubt murdered for money. Then you have the one Son who was driving the boat that killed the girl. Then there's the boy that was found on the side of the road dead. And the name that kept coming up from people in town, who they say was involved in his death was the Son Buster. Then there's the murders of the Wife and one of his Sons. So it's just INSANE how much tragedy and death is associated with that family! And he's just an absolute despicable human being! Killing his Wife and own Son like that! It's just absolutely APPALLING..... And It's just Satisfying knowing that he can't continue with his Corrupt, Evil, Narcissistic ways anymore!
All of those of which, ultimately died from head trauma in one way or the other.
@@barbarazylema3584 Hi Barbara. Please, if you will, take a moment and read my remarks and comment on the Gloria Satterfield matter, that I have addressed to @Maldust. Thank you🙂
That's not all. Look up Hakeem Pinckney. He was a deaf, paralyzed client of Alex's that used a ventilator to stay alive. His ventilator was unplugged at the nursing home and he suffocated. Then Alex sued the nursing home for wrongful death too.
@@jessicapeace3981 damn really!? Well there's another one added to the list....
"Behind every great fortune is a great crime."
The prosecution was phenomenal; didn't miss a chance to call out Alex's lies
Great show...
Thank you for posting this Forty-Eight hours
Every historical picture I see of this guy, he has a look on his face which says to me "I'm terrified. I'm in over my head. Why am I here" Every single picture.
thats just you projecting.
This is one of the best stories in decades....totally intriguing
Talk about having EVERYTHING and throwing it all away because of narcissistic decisions.
Paul unintentionally solved his own case😮
You literally have to hate your son and wife to do them like that.
I think he's a narcissist. Love is unknown to them. They think differently from the rest of us.
Worse.. it’s indifference towards other human beings.
Or love money and status more.
no hate i think its just indiference all it matter was his needs he just didnt care about anyone else
@Who Elected Klaus? 💯 Narcissist's are incapable of loving others, they love themselves...
He thought he was so slick that those jurors were gonna believe him after all the lies 🤦🏼♀️
And I will never believe he was on that much OxyContin, and It damn sure don’t give you energy
Wasn’t he tested? You can see it if people have used drugs
I don’t believe it either
thanks
Most recovering addicts will take full responsibility for their misdeeds without blaming them on the drugs. While they may not have committed them if they were sober, they still committed them. It's an important step in recovery.
Alex can't even do that right. His entire life he made a living at shifting the blame everywhere else than it belonged. Finally it caught up to him and he'll spend the rest of his days next to people who are far better than him which is more than he deserves.
Glad they did a second episode. I loved the first one
This lawyer was a real piece of work, even for a lawyer
Is anyone going to talk about Buster flicking people off in the courtroom and notes being passed to Alex? They're so used to their evil manipulating ways they entered the court room disrespectfully thinking they can do what they want. Glad justice was served.
The fact that the Murdaugh family didn't try to reach out to MB's to resolve the boat accident until the Beach family got the courage to sue just says a lot about AM and his family. Five shots to maggie and AM calling her five times🤔. This case will bring what's hidden into light like bogus death certification. Totally disgusting.
The police didn’t either!!!!!!
They got the lawyer in barely a month I believe.
Glad Alex was found guilty and hopefully, he never gets out. This is pure evil. I can't imagine the pain Maggie felt if she saw her son be murdered. Alex deserve to get what he gets in prison.. no remorse for him!!
Alex murdaugh is a killer with no conscious. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I was wondering how normal it is for a 45 day evaluation for a "found guilty" defendant before said defendant gets transferred from jail to prison? Seems excessive...is this the norm in S C??
You'd think a famous lawyer would come up with something better than "I was sleeping'
Paul remained true to the art of detective work until the very end. Paul and Maggi, may you rest in peace.
For Maggie and Paul to know the person who was supposed to love and protect them the most was the one who blasted them with bullets and ended their lives, is beyond unimaginable. May they rest in peace, and may AM live a long miserable life for what he did to them.
DEvil and bad and the ugly so what ever happen it is good for the ugly .
If I was Mallory’s parent and I knew Paul got away with being held accountable for Mallory’s death, just because of who he was, I would want revenge. The people Alex burned probably wanted revenge, too. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night because of the injustice. They all must be feeling some sense of satisfaction This is the closest to justice that they can come, at this point, even though their daughter can never be brought back and those millions of dollars are gone forever.
Paul will never get a chance to defend himself, as wrong as what he did was, he did not deserve to get murdered
I wonder if its worth befriending such spoilt heartless rich people?
Maggie was right about Paul being the little detective, that snapchat nailed Alec to the wall.
Im so sick of this case
"It doesn't metter how prominent you are..." Really? Two years after boat crash and death of young girl, Paul was free, without date in court. Probably he wouldn't answer for this crash and death. In Alex case they have a lot. It was loud case. It was hard to cover and remove that all.
AMEN!!!!!!!JUSTICE WAS SERVED..NOW LET US PRAY THIS MONSTER DOES NOT APPEAL HIS CASE AND GET A REDUCED SENTENCE!
His lawyers have already said they are going to appeal it.
@@keithzastrow That really breaks my heart, i pray he is denied!!! Did you see that horrible smirk he had on his face as if to say, "I have this in the bag" Oh gosh i wanted to reach through the TV and smack him!

Less than half of 1% of appeals when the convict has testified in their own case win an appeal. Judge Newman has an impeccable reputation and this conviction will stand.
He can appeal but I don't think it will change anything.
To go from a life of privilege to prison…what an adjustment.
Miss this case tbh was so interesting to watch it all unfold.
To be honest, I was waiting for this one eagerly....wow
Watch the Netflix film too. Very good.
