Not that I've seen. He must be quite concerned about having PMPED brought into the headlights, JMO

Alex Murdaugh trial: Paul Murdaugh's phone offers evidence from beyond grave, friends testify
New evidence and testimony offered Wednesday afternoon shocked Murdaugh family members in attendance. The latest updates, analysis and video.www.blufftontoday.com
8:54 and 9:06 someone had MM’s phone in their hand.
Did AM inherit money when dad died - has that info been released?
I understand NOW after hearing the Judge’s explanation on allowing it was showing why CW asked “did you know $792,000 missing money” etc b/c defense asked can they think of any reason why AM would murder son/wife - he was making point they did not know a lot of financial reasons. Somehow I missed that was tying all that together.

Court is back in session.
Judge Newman begins by explaining why he allowed the state to ask the final witness yesterday about the financial issues. He says Murdaugh's defense team opened that door by turning the previous witness, Rogan Gibson, into a "character witness" …
.. by asking him if he could think of any reason why Alex would kill Maggie and Paul. (Gibson said he couldn't think of any). Newman says that allowed the state to ask the next witness if the financial crimes could have provided that motive.
Newman now explains why he overruled Murdaugh's objection, when Griffin rose and said "totally inappropriate." "Totally inappropriate" is not a legal basis for an objection, Newman says. It's not an objection at all, he said.
Newman is now explaining prior case law regarding the admission of info about a defendant's other crimes. He says the test is whether the other criminality is logically related to the crime in question.
Defense attorney Jim Griffin stands. He disagrees with Judge Newman’s assertion that the defense “opened the door” for the financial crimes to come in by asking Rogan Gibson if he could think of any circumstance in which Alex Murdaugh would kill his wife and son.
Newman says he plans to have a separate hearing outside the jury's presence to discuss which financial evidence, if any, might be admitted.

I have noticed them also and had the same thought process as you describe. I'm on the fence as to what those looks may mean, in the scheme of things. BM is probably a great poker player. AJMO

I don't think we know what AM inherited from he father, it may have all gone to his mother since she is still alive. And we don't know what life insurance Paul or Maggie had, if any.

Wow, the defense really stepped in it. What a mess. The trial will be a lot longer now.

Absolutely re: concern. Best recollection here was that he was there at early stage(s)? — not thereafter. I remember observing his unspoken exchange w/AM during the end-of-day (IMO) “gladhandling.”
