SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #33

[justtrish]

First let me say that I do not know how anyone in the Murdaugh family could have sat through the trial or given a moment’s thought to the new timeline AM has given and not at least give serious consideration to the possibility that AM is guilty.

Second, I have family members that weren’t always on the right side of the law -though never to the extent of murder - and I watched other family members turn a blind eye to any evidence of their behavior for many years before they were able to admit that their child or sibling did what they were accused in one situation or another. So I get the tendency family has to defend one another and close their eyes to the possiblity of a loved one doing something so horrible.

Third, despite any and all questionable or unethical or illegal activity surrounding the family or the law firm, I feel sorry for all of them. Whether AM is convicted or not, their lives have forever been changed. The family has lost 2 loved ones and the partners careers have been forever tarnished by the association with AM. And whether AM is guilty or not or whether they believe he is guilty or not, does not change any of that.

While I understand your point of view, I also feel like this family has covered up things for so long that at this point I can't feel sorry for them. They basically made their own bed. I bet if they would have stood on the side of truth instead of protecting the family name at all costs, they would have the publics support and not be viewed as they are now.

This has probably already been discussed...I keep expecting a GF/Mistress to pop up...not enough evidence? Can't prove relavence?

The judge already implied he'd let it in if it was a more recent occurrence and I believe the state does have something more recent.

 

[Gardenista]

If I recall correctly, I believe this is also what they told the grand jury (which turns out was not factual). Also, telling a family member something like that when in turn, was not factual is another issue. This ruling was a huge win for the defense unfortunately.

Why is it an issue if they believed it at the time?

Could be nerves. Could be DRUGS!

It appears the Murdaugh family carries a HUGE resentment against SLED agents

Rumor from FitsNews is that the prosecution has some but have not decided to use it...yet.

I thought he was going to say he woke up from the horrible dream of what he had done to Paul and Maggie. moo.

Well he pretty much did say that didn't he?

Lots of talk about Paul being so sweet. MM nothing. Boat accident, threats poor PM. I sincerely hope all 5 victims get justice!

A coat no one recognizes from "back on the property" or in a junk closet, which had GSR but no blood splatter, tissue, bone, hair on it.

THIS is the state's evidence? It relates to nothing.

SLED left brains and pieces of skull at the scene? Dear Me.

Seems several people, including JMM's LE buddy, thought this was related to the boat accident.

MMs phone was 1/2 mile from house.

oozing with reasonable doubt.

The coat was believed to hold the guns so it makes sense GSR is there but nothing else. They didn't claim the coat was being worn during the shooting.

SLED isn't supposed to clean up a crime scene.

It's not surprising that JMM LE buddy thinks it's the boat case. Alex was spouting that off from the moment a first responder arrived.

No, it’s a double name. They are very common in the South. I went to college in NC and there were so many double named people. It’s a mouthful but you have to say both names.

Right, he's always been called by both names. But to the OP's point -- his last name is the same as as Alex's -- Murdaugh.

Court is back in session.

Perhaps because they haven't been successful in controlling SLED as they have the local LE. They only like those they can control and manipulate into doing what they want.

I hope the defense back-dooring in the blood spatter info is going to make the prosecution "go medieval" on rebuttal.

Swords ready!

Maybe Alec was looking in PauPau's pocket for all the people in high places Murdaughs seem to have in their pockets.

Agreed a man pleading not guilty has done just about everything to keep himself in the guilty spotlight, stacking the lies up like cord wood and now want's all to believe him. Living on an island now since he has burned every bridge off the island and poked a hole in his life raft with the same blade he used on his tire with the roadside clown show.

I get the impression JMM is used to cleaning up his brother's chit.

John Marvin we've found who did this to Paul, your rotten brother......his own father.

Just like a cord of wood. Time to light the bonfire, gets your rakes and scythes!
