So now the bad internet vigilantes also moved the golf cart?
Lol. ^^^

What it sounds like from all of AM's over-explaining is that he has a pattern of blaming others for his own failures.
Sorry that his wife and to a lesser extent --his children -- had to put up with that.
M00.

Apologies if the group has discussed this, but I am just catching up watching AM's testimony. For experts:

Is it a Southern custom for courts to allow a defendant's testimony to become a soliloquy?

As noted, there is a Clintonesque quality to AM - just keep putting space between his response and the question, or even more boldly, to answer a question with a question. It is mind boggling to me that the judge allows this to happen.

And - frick all this "sir..", talking of "honor", from AM on the stand. It's just all bs.

AM's way of talking reminds me of Confederate cultural stereotypes you see in Civil War movies. Sheesh.
Is this the actual way that deep Southerners actually interact with one another?
 
He refuses to admit that he lied to the Satterfield boys in the couple of months prior to the murders. Does he want to argue that he lied to everyone he knew but then he stopped 3 months prior the murders?
 
Did CW ask AM about the $600,000 line of credit against Moselle that Alex requested from Palmetto State Bank shortly before the murders? I'm wondering if Maggie, as the owner of Moselle, refused to sign off on that. JMO.

ETA: I know he couldn't get money from Moselle after she died -- I'm wondering about before she died.

I understood AM got the $600K line of credit from Palmetto in advance of the appraisal for Edisto and it was immediately maxed out. I believe the appraisal for this loan was supposed to be June 8 and why MM had workmen at the house.

MM was allegedly upset about this date because she wanted to delay the appraisal appointment until July (when the house was party ready for July 4). Also, as the beneficiary of MM's estate, AM had to know he would have complete access to the Moselle title after MM's death.

Murdaugh acknowledges he had a $1 million line of credit & $600K line of credit at Palmetto State Bank that were maxed out in June 2021, and he was using stolen funds to pay them back. Murdaugh also acknowledges he was taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans from law partner John Parker and his father Randolph. He was using stolen money to pay both back.

 
I want that Perry Mason Moment:

When AW finally throws his arms in the air and screams " You got me, you got me, I DID IT, I I DID IT, put his sobbing face into his hands and falls to his knees.

CW is getting very close ......
