[Amster]

Wonder if the jury wonders why MMs family isn’t there? It would really bother me if I was a juror.

I’m not understanding why it’s important to the defense to change the trajectory of shots to their story line. What am I missing?

Obfuscation

Desensitize the jury to the photos maybe. As if.

Somebody did this to Paul. It wasn't Maggie.

That leaves Alec. The only other person there.

The one who said he wasn't.

Desperate defense. Completely shot down.

JMO

AM looks more like an addict now than he has ever looked in any photos I've seen of him.

Did he just disagree with what Eisenstat testified to?

Probably?

The jury is seeing a lot of graphic crime scene and autopsy images today.

IDK, it seems what they are getting at is it was a contact wound so the shooter would be covered in blood, matter and possibly be wounded - no probably, giving them their moneys worth. I am not sure that this proves anything, we know there was a hose there and we know there was a change of clothes, although it is not proven exactly when the 3rd change of clothes was. I also don’t know how this fits in with their 5 foot two shooter presentation. None of that was presented as contact wounds. moo

I don't think they have any way of recognizing them really, sitting in the audience.

I have a feeling that they would figure it to mean that MM's family does not support AM. But I agree, it is odd. I can imagine it would be too painful for her family to be there at this point though, what with the autopsy photos and the details of the murders, etc. But I think the jury will see this as meaning that perhaps her family does not support AM.

Does Alec have ill-fitting dentures?

Honest question.

 

[PaulaDC]

Eeww. Wipe the table, then wipe the nose. Looks like today he has individually napkins from McDonalds.

I bet AM wishes there was something stronger in that water bottle he just chugged!

Has Buster left the courtroom during these graphic pics? There is no way in hell I could look at photos like this with my mom or brother!

I wonder, since the defense has repeatedly pointed to Alex's family sitting there, whether it's allowed to point out who is not there

 

[CityKid]

Completely true. Barton Fink was so good.

The jury needs to Do the Right Thing here!

I know I've said that I am expecting a medical emergency with AM. Today may be the day - jmo

 

[Ceska]

I was thinking... is the Murdaugh family even attempting to "locate" the killer, since they think AM is so innocent. If my family members had been killed I would have a reward for any information and investigators out there all over the place trying to find their killer. Have they even done that? Since Paul was getting those "threats" (so they say), they sure don't seem to be too worried that they could be next.

AM looks more like an addict now than he has ever looked in any photos I've seen of him.

I agree.
He looks like he is going through it today. I think he's trying to garner the last bit of sympathy he can. Trial is winding down.. reality sinking in.

It definitely fits his MO.

They have seen Marian and Bart on the stand but not in the audience.
