While I do think Alex had some potential for understanding what he did was wrong, which brings him light years ahead of his co-conspirators on the relatable/forgivable scale, he was clearly a murderer and intended to kill.
That’s right! I had forgotten about that. When he called 911 and told the dispatcher his wife and child had been shot, she was trying to figure out where to send help. She asked if it was a house or a mobile home and Alex ( Murdaugh)yelled It’s a House!! as if he was highly insulted that she didn’t recognize his name and know where “ Moselle “ is ! Imo
Obviously, Prior knows something I don't know about the prosecution's theory of what went down when on Sunday, and feels that Chad's being in church for a longish church day debunks it.
IMO JP is trying to prove that Chad didn't go anywhere near Lori on Sunday, let alone that they were trying to convince others about their special abilities (like seeing invisible buildings) related to their joint mission.
That maybe was when JJ was buried?
IMO Alex was waiting for Garth to leave for work. He likely turned off his phone before he approached the house.
I agree. According to Kaaiakamanu' testimony, on the night Tammy dies, Alex' phone is at the Church from 10:07 to 10:45. It is then shut off until 11:53 pm, whereupon it pings 7 miles south of the Church. This gives Alex just over an hour to travel the 2.6 miles to the Daybell residence and help Chad murder Tammy, move her body as needed to stage the scene of a 'peaceful' passing in her sleep, and then leave the area before Garth gets home.
This has been my belief all along. Alex was a terrible shot. He missed killing Brandon and Tammy.
I was thinking that it sounded like something from 'Better call Saul' . I wouldn't want to live there, too much horror and sadness every time you look out of the window. Moo
Along those same lines, the jury saw first hand that Prior was trying to stretch the truth and be shady when he knew the truth was different! Interesting that he also immediately said “Well I don’t know. Judge can we have a sidebar please.” He didn’t even hesitate to lie that he doesn’t know how big that land is. He knows. I’m sure there are some jurors notes that now include JP is a liar.
Church is 2 hours long.
I can't wait to find out if his phone was being used or was idle, parked there with his car. Chad could have picked him up there or at some other point; Alex could have walked back
Exactly. Church clothes, if he was wearing them, could have been to support a lie as to his real whereabouts. Chad could have said, bye, long meeting expected, to Tammy, and told people at church he's skipping the meeting today. Church clothes prove nothing.
I honestly think he purposely missed Tammy. Brandon, not so much, because his shot was very close to Brandon's head.
I agree. He seems to me the sort of guy that's all bravado, who likes the role of the hero with the guns, protecting his family and standing up to Evil. I think LVD & CD played up that persona so that he would go along with them in their plans.
I don't think Tylee was buried on Sunday. It was a few Mondays before this Sunday under discussion.
I thought the time frame AxC was at the church was the Night Tammy was shot at in her driveway, Not the night she was murdered.
