Exactly. AWFUL.
I don’t care about phone orientation changes, nor do I give credence to anyone’s testimony about when the ”phone toss” supposedly happened. I don’t consider the mishmash of data reliable and/or definitive and too many things, of which we’ll never know for sure, could result in backlights on/off, steps, orientation changes, etc. They’ve spent literally days on this and nothing seems conclusive, definitive or pinpoints the action. So I agree, they cancel each other out. And a 2 minute window, considering everything, even if ever deemed to be valid and calibrated, is too close to call, IMO.
I don't want to hear another word about the phone toss. I’m sick of it.

Authorities: Bomb threat in Alex Murdaugh trial traced to inmate unrelated to case
Investigators had traced the call that led to the evacuation of the county courthouse to a cellphone at a medium-security state prison in Jasper County.
[…]
The sheriff’s office said it had “obtained a felony arrest warrant” for Coleman but did not specify what he charges he would face. A spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions Feb. 22. Prison records show Coleman was transferred to the higher-security Broad River Correctional Institution the day of the bomb threat.
Coleman, 32, is serving time for Hampton County charges of armed robbery, kidnapping, assault and battery and a weapons violation, with an expected release date in 2045, prison records show.
According to the sheriff’s office, Coleman has “no direct connection” to Murdaugh or the trial.
[…]
Murdaugh's colleague who testified today ... he said that he worked for 34 years for a 100 year old South Carolina legal institution, and suddenly he was a lawyer with 34 years experience at a brand new firm. Big difference. He pointed out that his identity, and that of his children, was attached to the integrity of the 100 year old legal institution. Alex's theft hit his partners, their children and the community.

Ashleigh Banfield just now said on her show that Murdaugh will take the stand at 9:30 am tomorrow.

September 25. Alex said that he got someone else in the family to put money into a jail-mate's commissary once before, and would quit after doing it two weeks in a row. Alex wanted the wife of his brother John Marvin to do something that Alex knew was illegal. Alex phoned his brother to tell him to tell his wife to do what Alex wants.
Hopefully Alex is institutionalized to protect the people around him.

Brilliant -- first there was Tinsley and now I can add Mark Ball to my corner of those doubting that AM had $10-12M life insurance in place when he asked cousin Eddie to fake a drive-by shooting. We'd know the underwriter by now if any truth to AM's phony ploy. Liar, liar, pants on fire. JMO

CCSO identifies suspect in Murdaugh trial bomb threat as inmate in Jasper County
COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — UPDATE: The SCDC provided an inmate report on Coleman.
According to the report, Coleman had been incarcerated at Ridgeland Correctional Institute since Jan. 24. He was transferred to Broad River Secure Facility in Columbia on Feb. 8, the day of the bomb threat, for "lockup-investigation".
Coleman had two previous disciplinary sanctions in September 2020. The report says he was involved in the organization of a security threat group (prison gang) and was in possession of a weapon. The day before the bomb threat, Feb. 7, he was working as a wardkeeper at Ridgeland Correctional Institute.
ORIGINAL STORY: The Colleton County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) has identified a suspect in the Feb. 8 bomb threat during Alex Murdaugh's trial for the murders of his wife Maggie and son Paul.
In a Feb. 22 Facebook post, the CCSO said they obtained an arrest warrant for Joey Dean Coleman, 32, for the phone call threat. Coleman is currently an inmate at the Ridgeland Correctional Institute in Jasper County.

I think it’s 50/50 that AM will testify. I think he wants to.
I worry that his “cunning” and manipulative behavior can convince at least one, if not more, jurors. I do believe he has far better than average lying skills, and he obviously has relationship/schmoozing skills (as false or hollow as they turned out to be).
He will play up the horror, his shock, trauma, drug impacts, tears and, most importantly, the “I loved my wife and son - I could never have hurt them” angles. And it still ruminates through my mind: HOW could he have blown his son’s brains out? STILL! And intellectually, I completely believe he did it. But emotions are a different animal. If given an out, wouldn’t some people eagerly latch onto any excuse to convince them that SODDI?
He might be a good enough con man to sway the jury. As much as I’d love to see Creighton rake him over the coals, CW can’t know for sure what AM has concocted. And he’s had a very long time to devise his counterpoints to the evidence. He could have some twisted notions to throw everything off kilter. Although I think CW is brilliant, excellent, and superb at thinking ultra fast on his feet, he obviously can’t know those notions, for sure, in advance. That scares me.
As much as I want to hear AM’s “story” (aka lies), I hope he does not testify. I believe chances for conviction are better if he doesn’t.

When Griffin told the Judge that their client “ might “ want to take the stand.. Not today haha.. but if he did - Could the Judge please rule that the mean ole Prosecutor cannot ask their client anything about the “ financial crimes “ all I could think of is the 3rd SLED interview where they showed AM the Snapchat tree video and asked him “ When did you change clothes?” And Alec immediately said
“ Well what time was this video taken?”
An innocent man would not be trying so hard to control the narrative IMO.
The Jury has already heard about how ruthlessly AM stole money from clients and coworkers. They are smart enough to know that it goes to motive.
I’ll be shocked if AM takes the stand. But this trial has definitely had some shockers!

Well, I guess he got PMPED....just like a lot of other people.
How would she know? The same rumors we’ve all heard? (No, I don’t think much of her.)
I think it’s up in the air until it’s not, which could be any time before the defense rests.
