SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #7

If the lawyers conduct impacts their ability to do their job, Model Rule 8.3(a) would apply.

Rule 8.3: Reporting Professional Misconduct

Rule 8.3 refers to the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct. I believe you are wrong in your interpretation of that rule as requiring an attorney to report addiction in another attorney. Again, if that’s a requirement, there are no lawyers who haven’t violated that requirement.

Does Eddie take checks for his “corncobs”?;D

For the red and the white

FYI: If Eddie was in a similar condition to how he was in the most recent tweet of him, it's no wonder he missed Alex with a bullet.

That, or Alex is actually a ninja.

Just sayin'.

Tweakers shake. I’m surprised he hit him at all. Are we sure he only fired once?

Gov. Henry McMaster on Wednesday called the ongoing Alex Murdaugh case one of the “saddest stories” he’s heard.

“The whole thing from beginning to end, and I don’t know all the details, is one of the saddest stories I think I’ve ever heard. It’s just sad,” McMaster said during a media availability with reporters.

I call it “pathetic!” JMO YMMV

Interesting, since slip and fall deaths need to be reported, but natural ones do not.

Now I am curious if they are investigating because they think that there was foul play in her actual death.....or if they are investigating for insurance fraud, and they lied about her falling and she really just died in the house of natural causes. I hope she wasn't cremated, so they can finally do an autopsy.

It needs to be investigated for BOTH reasons, IMO.

I'm waiting to see if Cousin Eddie gets a public defender or if AM recommends another best friend to represent him.

Tweakers shake. I’m surprised he hit him at all. Are we sure he only fired once?

It would certainly explain the 8-10 shell casings that were laying around. Just sayin....

On Wednesday DICK HARPOOTLIAN, the South Carolina Biden backer and talking head whose wife was recently nominated to be ambassador to Slovenia, appeared on NBC’s “Today” show as part of a tangled legal saga in South Carolina that has gained national attention in recent weeks.

Harpootlian is representing ALEX MURDAUGH, an attorney who recently told police he enlisted a man to kill him so his son could collect the life insurance payout. That incident, which Murdaugh survived, came only months after his wife and son were shot and killed on their family’s property.

On “Today,” Harpootlian said he anticipates Murdaugh, who is in treatment for opioid abuse, confessed to the scheme because he wanted law enforcement to focus their efforts on investigating the deaths of MAGGIE and PAUL MURDAUGH.

“Believe it or not I have a pretty successful law practice,” Harpootlian told POLITICO when asked how he became involved with the case. “I have a day job. Politics is not my day job; it’s practicing law.” Harpootlian said he had known older members of the Murdaugh family, who’s legal lineage goes back several generations.

Jmo.

I think it was used to buy property, boats, guns, fur coats, college, trips.

And maybe pay off hired killers. JMO

SLED Public Information Officer Tommy Crosby said the department was requested by the Hampton County Coroner to open a criminal investigation into the death of Gloria Satterfield and the handling of her estate.

Crosby said SLED has also gathered information during the course of other ongoing investigations involving Alex Murdaugh that warrant the reexamination of Satterfield death.

The Murdaugh case also prompted police to open an investigation into the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, a 19-year-old found dead in the same county, less than 10 miles away.

His death was first deemed to be a shooting, but was then ruled to be a probable hit-and-run. Police have not said what information was recovered during the Murdaugh investigation that led them to look into the Smith case.
…
Following the murders, Mr Murdaugh's brothers, Randy and John, said they were unaware if the family had enemies, although they claimed Paul had received threats.

Rich & powerful lawyer hires his drug dealer to kill him, but has private helicopter on standby to rush him to hospital to save his life? Did I get this right?

And now we have drug dealers involved. That's Cullen Davis 101. If you can make people believe that a bunch of less desirable people have been hanging around then thats all the suspects you need and the motive could be almost anything.

In light of the many recent, controversial events surrounding the Alex Murdaugh family of South Carolina, something seems to have been forgotten lately.

There are people who are dead. They must be remembered. And justice must be served.

Today, Sept. 15, would have been Margaret "Maggie" Murdaugh's 53rd birthday.

"She has been lost in all of this," says one of her friends, Debbie Bishop-Phillips. Bishop-Phillips spent a good deal of time with Maggie, tailgating at college football games, and more often, in exercise and painting classes.

"She was a good friend, and is definitely missed," she said. "If she was your friend, there was nothing she wouldn't do for you. She always made you feel welcome."

Re: Eddie's Corncobs

As someone pointed out up thread, those FB posts on Eddie's page about corncobs were during the peak of the toilet paper shortage.

Corncobs as a substitute for toilet paper.

I do not believe it was a reference to drugs at all.

Does Eddie take checks for his “corncobs”?;D

Did anyone here call Eddie today? I was so tempted

 

[drama_farmer]

SLED needs to set up a special division just for this family. I'll suggest a name:
The SLED-MURDERaugh Unit

SLED says the investigation was opened based on a request from the coroner Wednesday, along with information gathered during other ongoing investigations involving Alex Murdaugh.

This is now the sixth investigation into the Murdaughs by SLED.

What a dumpster fire this guy's life is. How does someone with so much privilege get to this point?

 

[Moma J]

Wonder if or when they might question BM on this whole saga? Not for him to be guilty of anything but to see if he knew or suspected anything on any of the issues going on with AM. MOO

 

[TIGER0822]

Third scenario could be Curtis really tried to kill AM. because something went wrong after the hit on MM and PM. It would be easier to explain as an attempted suicide then retaliation for you hiring a hitman to kill your wife.

Edited that CES really tried to kill AM not PM

I don’t think so. It appears that AM owned the knife that slashed the tires. I think a graze was the hit man thankfully not going through with the plan. He could have easily shot him multiple times… which makes me think Smith was not the hit man for the other two murders.

 

[Steelhead]

And after he slashed his own tire with his own knife—clearly after he came to, after he collapsed and was blinded by the whole failed attempt thing... smh. Then he calls 911 for help! I can’t get over the insanity!! MOO

A movie director's nightmare!
