Shackles or no shackles, I think it is becoming quite evident to all watching that Alex Murdaugh is one very bad and dangerous man.

I'm not too sure that the dogs would have allowed AM to kennel them after witnessing him shoot Paul and Maggie. They may have headed for the hills. Has there been anything said about the dogs being in the kennels when LE arrived?I may be wrong but I think AM kenneled the dogs after he shot MM and PM.
I also don't like how it lets the defense know ahead of time what a witness will likely say and the impact of that witness.I've never seen a case that has gone into such depth out of the presence of the jury. It's like a trial inside a trial. If allowed these re-testimonies will add a whole week or more to the trial.
I believe that's a bitter pill he's trying to make smaller before swallowing. Others have said, tobacco, snuff, Tic Tac, and the proverbial inside lip. IDK but I have seen him doing these mouth antics many many times and it's really hard to watch. It's very distracting.Holy gosh! What is AM chewing on?
Or, try to defend Paul and Maggie.IMO AM didn't want them messing with the bodies so he kenneled them.
This is not good.So both a blue tarp and a raincoat exist and both were located on the 2nd floor of Miss Libby's home.
Question: Did both the tarp and raincoat test positive for GSR?
ETA: Add tweet -- the tarp was never tested!
Forgot to mention, but Griffin earlier established with Moore that SLED did not test the blue tarp at all. Just the rainjacket.
I feel like this bears repeating. His dying father was brought to the hunting lodge??AM's father left his deathbed to go to this meeting? Did I hear that correctly?
So in reality they have to testify twice?
This is not good.
I felt terror for her. It was clear to me she was very frightened and I knew why. Fear and that powerless feeling amongst that kind of setting. She knows about that of course and her family and friends have all had to have talked about this since the beginning with her. She did SO good and pray it keeps her strong and safe feeling. It's still here and that never changes, but she lives there amongst the Murdaugh kind and she went against 'him'. I hate that he did that to her too and the other innocents testifying.I just want to put a little light on how great Shelly Smith was today and the courage that she showed. I live in the Low Country and there are things down here in it's history that a lot of other areas and regions of the country don't have.
We are not too far removed from a time when it would have been absolutely inconceivable for an African American to utter a single negative sentence about a white person in public let alone in open court. That was practically a guarantee to have an after dark visit by men in white robes. While those days are thankfully gone that horrible legacy still lives on in people's memories. That mindset is even stronger in the islands and country regions of the state. There are plenty of old timers living in these areas who remember such things and lived thru them, and it still terrorizes them to this day. Throw on top of this the power that a family such as the Murdaugh's yielded for over 100 years and that fear becomes even more magnified.
Charleston likes to think that the old days of racism and the toxic history of slavery are in the past but it is a painful reality no matter how much people try to minimize it. It was only 7 years ago when a white punk went into a church and shot and killed 9 African Americans in a hate crime. I was also 7 years ago when a white cop shot and killed an unarmed black man who was running away from him and then tried to cover it up by lying. I can tell you from personal experience it's not far from the minds of many African Americans who have lived in this part of the country for generations. There is still a dark undercurrent of racism that exists here throughout sections of the Low Country where time seems to stand still. It's not talked about much but it's still there.
It makes what Shelly Smith did today that much more significant and powerful! The strength and bravery she showed today was incredible! Shame on AM for putting her through all of that.
Pretty safe bet, the defense attorneys are rapidly framing all different questions.So in reality they have to testify twice?
Oh for sure, I think everyone knows it was Alex and his cronies, not Bland! Bland is amazing in my book!
I think it was Alex's brother Randy (Randolph Murdaurgh IV) who was at the lodge, not the father RMIII. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. JMO.I feel like this bears repeating. His dying father was brought to the hunting lodge??
Communion wafer? Calling on a higher power (I'm not sure HE'S on your side Alex.) MOOIt should not be allowed IMO.
I thought I saw a big white flat wafer thing go in his mouth, btw. What the?!

Maybe Buster just read the writing on the wall. Hopefully when he testifies, he will tell the truth.He's a head bobber too? Like father, like son!
