"Did not have any motive whatsoever to murder them"

I can think of a couple million $$$$$$ reasons why. Though I am having a hard time picturing him out in the yard with an AK-47 over one shoulder and shotgun over the other.

There are many murders (sadly) where spouses kill each other. But I’m beyond gobsmacked that AM shot his own child, his own flesh and blood, with a SHOTGUN, twice! In the HEAD and in the chest.
It’s horrific. I cannot understand how a father could do such a thing. I feel ill.

Alex Murdaugh charged with murder in wife, son deaths, AG says

Alex Murdaugh charged with murder in wife, son deaths

www.wyff4.com

[…]

"We are immediately filing a motion for a speedy trial, we are requesting that the Attorney General turn over all evidence within 30 days as required by law and we demand to have a trial within 60 days of receiving that evidence."

I bet this is why it has taken “so long” for AM to be charged in the murders of MM and PM. They knew that, once charged, it would be “go time” and wanted to have all of their ducks in a row for a speedy trial. MOO.

Alright...speedy trial sounds great to me and a little foolish for him, IMO. I can see why SLED wanted to take the time to get everything in order first before arresting him. I'm sure they planned on this contingency.

 

[sunshineray]

Litigants against AM filed liens/freeze against assets, but there was some portion that were protected from seizing. I can't remember which one(s) maybe it was his 401K/Retirement account that was approx $200K IIRC.

That doesn't seem sufficient for a double murder trial lawyer's fees.

With him in jail on fraud/thief it helped to not be rushed and less attention.

Omg

From a fall of mere feet?

How many people around this man have died?

He's like the hospice cat, only far more sinister. May all his dirty secrets be made known.

The love of money, no heart for people.

How many other deaths might be linked to this finally-charged murderer?

Time to open more tombs?

Officials announced the pending charges the day before, and on Wednesday Murdaugh's former family law firm, now called Parker Law Group, posted the following statement on its website:

"Today’s news (7/12/22) is sad and upsetting. Our thoughts turn to Maggie and to Paul whom we loved and who we miss. Everyday we grieve for them. Justice must be served. If the charges reported today are true and just, we ask for our judicial system to act swiftly and to bring a conclusion to this heinous situation."

Crushed skull and 12 broken vertebrae!? That was one heck of a fall! Does anyone have a picture of those steps GS supposedly fell down? Wood or cement?

Sounds like "aluminum baseball bat".

Hmmm....where have we speculated about that before?

Hard to see if there is a cement/ sidewalk at the ground.

Finally.

Jmo I think MM phone was found by the river where the divers were seaching. I don’t think they found them there. I think that the trip to his mother’s house was to remove the guns from the property.

Finally, is right! Playing catch up, but I was so wrong in my thinking that AM hired a hit man to commit the murders.

I'm no doctor but an unexpected blow to the back of the head could propel a body forward or backward with considerable force. The impact with the ground IMO could cause subsequent vertebral fractures, particularly in an older woman. I'll await charges but I don't think a mere misstep or a ill-timed trip would create enough force for a skull injury nor account for the chain reaction of vertebral fractures.

You just never know do ya? IMO anything is possible with this guy.
