SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #27

[girlhasnoname]

I just don't understand why his law partners didn't think that Alex's stealing funds could have had something to do with why the murders happened. This witness said he was calling clients to ask if they knew anything and he was trying to figure out what happened and who could have done this and if any of the other partners or their families were at risk.. Why didn't they tell SLED about Alex's financial dealings that night? It literally came to a head that day when Alex was confronted with this and then they just decided to table it because Alex's wife and son were murdered? Did anyone not think maybe what Alex had been doing was the cause of the murders?

I believe deep down they do believe it now. MOO

I am so impressed with Attorney Waters. He excels every single day in both direct and cross examination.

He knows his case and is quick on his feet. He’s very impressive.

And again, I guess defense team has been watching online… Eric Bland was talking about this attorney, who is on direct for defense (Fox?? I can’t remember her name), and the defense needing to show more “diversity” on L&C last night…

And the defense will say that the AM that everyone knew was no longer the same person because he was addicted to opioids!

I really think they need someone to say on the stand, no way he spent all that money on opioid addiction. He'd have been a zombie on the job, he wasn't...and then he'd have been dead, he's not. AJMO

Who is this new attorney questioning the Mr. Cooke?

 

[Pruddennce]

ok...Ill try to listen to this witness....scratching my head as to what exactly he could provide in a positive light concerning the defendant and the boat case.

 

[lonetraveler]

"People were his trade" - hence the defense's desire to have him testify and speak to the jury. It will be a show if AM does. jmo

Yes, defense wants AM to con the jury like he has done for so many other trials.

I think to say Tinsley et al wouldn’t have had a case against AM. Note Tinsley in the court room.

 

[Batman's Mommy]

IMO, this witness is only to try and convince jury that AM was not concerned about boat litigation… try to say there is no motive for AM in regards to ongoing and upcoming boat litigation.

 

[sunshineray]

How bizarre that AM’s lawyer for the boat case is testifying

This makes two of AM's lawyers on the boat case doesn't it...and the forensic engineer also was working on the boat case

What is JG trying imply by asking MB, "you know this is a murder trial?"

Castigating the witness who had the temerity to criticize Alex for stealing. JMO.

I am having a problem finding out how many guns were in the Murdaugh gun-room. Does anyone recall? TIA.

I know the answer. On June 8th, there were two fewer than what were there on June 7th.

 

[girlhasnoname]

I think the Defense has numerous regrets.

I swear AM must have some dirty tidbits on all of them DH, JG, etc. for them to put their reputations at risk like this. Who knows how far up the chain this actually goes?

<adjusts tin foil hat slightly>

MOO

 

[sunshineray]

This is huge, IMO

Was that CW who asked about that?

Yes

Yes, although this seems to be the elephant in the room that maybe need not be said. Unless the defendant takes the stand perhaps? Then could see where that might go? Might be best not to speculate on anyone else’s activities, particularly if nothing in evidence? JMO.

This is the first time we're getting to see Maggie Fox question a witness.
@TheEricBland
and I talked about her on Sidebar yesterday. He said she's very capable and he was upset she wasn't being utilized. He said she's not "window candy."
