What did Harpootlian take out of his hands? Interesting interaction between #AlexMurdaugh attorney Dick Harpootlian and atty representing boat crash victim inside the courtroom. (Note: I edited the video to show the interaction as the camera switched between witness & gallery)

Will Buster and/or any of Maggie's family be there for the trial? What about others (AM's brothers, extended family)? Has anyone said or speculated on this? Have they been seen so far? Are they likely to be there tomorrow if the trial does get underway at some point tomorrow?

My heart goes out to them.

MOO.

Just posted this article in discussion thread only. IMO, good info as I had similar questions as you.

It looked to me that Harpo was writing on a note pad within a small folder and then closed it and handed it to the boat crash attorney all while speaking with said attorney.

It looked like a folder of some sort with papers inside and post it notes marking certain pages. ETA - it looks like a bound book of some sort. He was writing in it. Maybe a calendar, journal, etc?

Yes, attorney Joe McCulloch representing one of the boat crash victims (boat crash that Paul Murdaugh was awaiting trial on at the time of his death).

Interesting questions on the 300 Blackout AR style rifle that #AlexMurdaugh's lawyers are questioning Paul Greer about and the marks left on rounds from those guns.

In questioning Greer, Jim Griffin says #AlexMurdaugh bought the 300 Blackouts for his son, Paul. Defense will say rounds didn't necessarily come from this weapon (which hasn't been recovered)

These are examples of 300 Blackout rifles. Dick Harpootlian said earlier it's an AR-style rifle that is being discussed

So the tweeter OP quoted jumped to AM's phone history while driving to his parents as a reason to allege CB Rowe (groundskeeper) was a suspect?

I'm wondering when CBR became known as the former groundskeeper. Before or after the phone call?

The only thing I know about cousin Eddie was the defense's allegation he failed a lie detector which I linked up-thread. MOO

Judge has admitted the ballistics witness (Greer) as an expert per the rules of evidence (over defense attorney DH's smoke and mirrors argument).

ETA: Court is now in recess until 11 AM Weds.

 

[Betty P]

Talking about the schedule for tomorrow. Something about needing to be there before 11? Judge talking. Something about scanning the jurors. If they arrive in timely way, should have them prepared by 11 am. Recessed until then.

Judge Newman sides with the prosecution on the firearms identification analysis, agreeing that Paul Greer and his analysis can be presented to the jury at trial. Any further challenges to that evidence will have to come in cross-examination.

Do we know anything about what cell tower records may show re the whereabouts of AM's cell phone that night?

WATCH: #AlexMurdaugh's reaction as his attorney argues against the theory that he killed his wife and son because he knew everyone was about to find out about his financial crimes.

I can't wait for the behavioral panel guys to assess this video!

I was only in the courtroom for about an hour yesterday, but the thing most striking to me was the serious, unrelenting way Murdaugh stared at each juror as they stood up to disclose their reason for wanting to be struck, or their potential conflicts of interest and biases.

@BUF, thank you for answering my question from yesterday. I was wondering if Alex could see the jurors during yesterday and today’s voir dire. They may not be public to us, but he may recognize some.

Found it amazing that AM was allowed to stand up this morning and greet the jurors with “Good morning.” Maybe Poot yesterday noticed his glaring, too, and advised him to be friendly today. MOO. MOO.
