SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #24

[Chelly]

So do we take from all that that DH is going to use incompetence in AM's financial trial(s), because he was 'under the influence of drugs' when he admitted to financial theft? Even though Harpootlian keeps making it clear he was a financial thief, then and now?

Maybe. DH will grab any foothold he can get and the financial crimes are huge. But I doubt anyone, including jury, buys AM's opioid addiction story. There has been no real evidence of AM ever being under influence of drugs. AM has been highly functional for years and years.

But, big question for me: How can Harpootlian convince this jury to find AM not guilty of double murder?
All my opinion only

Predicting cross on this witness:

Did you at any time ask a doctor if you could use orange dots?

Jmo

Bout ready to ask AM's lawyer...OK! where did you all stash those weapons?

Ask JMM, he's the go to guy for AM's errands. IMO

 

[Edvis]

Whaddayasuppose he dumped along the tree line at Almeda? Ever parky over there before, Al?

Blocked from view of the house just like the caregiver testified.

JMO

Feeling he had a stash spot or several in mind at his spread or his mother's place, lots of ground, brush and good spots to hide object's that small. Heck I've stumbled upon cars overgrown with weeds in areas that I've hunting and hiked for years.

I almost spit out my coffee! lol

Sure seemed real quiet in the courtroom while all these movements are being shown. Everyone was paying attention.

Reporters inside Court are saying that the jury was hanging on every slide, you could hear a pin drop.

Shows he didn’t have time to check the bodies before calling 9111 or 911!

Next on the list, just checked Cuz Eddie's Winnebago, nothing except some Beer cans and septic hose.

Not sure what proof you are looking for as there is no confession or eyewitness. This case is built on AM’s lies, timelines, and proximity to the scene and weapons used. Looks pretty good to a reasonable mind I believe.

I don’t find his lies enough to convict. The state’s burden is high. They can’t just say he’s a liar so he’s guilty. And that’s exactly what they’re doing - he’s a bad man and a liar so he did it. It’s not even close to beyond a reasonable doubt. JMO

Fighting over AM's injury compared to the horrific damage he left at the crime scene. Even his lawyer trying to pump up his injury lol.

He had a scratch, and did not stay more than a day in the hospital. What a Big Lying Baby!

Sorry if I overlooked this but did MM phone show being in the car traveling up the road with AM or that AM slowed down around the area of where her phone was found?

 

[arielilane]

We're back in session.

The defense will probably say "what's missing is the On Star data on Cousin Eddie's automobile". Good Lord.

 

[clearskies1]

No time to check the bodies before calling 9111 or 911!

Yes, and I believe he may have gone up and looked at Paul's phone while he was on the phone with 911. Speculation/JMO.

DH is a problem child.... children act better than him. imo

Why wouldn't they use this information at trial, if true?

Sorry if I overlooked this but did MM phone show being in the car traveling up the road with AM or that AM slowed down around the area of where her phone was found?

I think I was mistaken.
The OnStar data showed AM driving past the location of MM's phone and then accelerating once he'd passed.
I had to go back and look at the testimony again, it was a little confusing to me. IMO.
