What was his?

.Maggie‘s sister testified on the stand, that she believed in his innocence until the roadside shooting then things started to change". I do not believe she thinks he is innocent, I understand her maintaining her privacy, which she has done throughout this trial. If she is at peace with not making her feelings public, I am OK with that. In today’s social media environment I think sometimes the less said the better, no telling what it opens you up to making yourself visible. As far as Alex’s sisters and brothers if they do feel, I know that he did it. I don’t think they would ever say that publicly or say anything that they would view shaming the family. MOO
they really picked the right judge for this. I have to think all the rest of those cases will not go to trial and will be settled in some way. I wonder if "Jim" Griffin has it in him to tackle the appeal for this murderer. I think he knows he client did this and he is just too close to the family and case. He should get out.Judge Newman’s address to AM and the court was beyond anything I imagined. He has such a way of expressing himself, and no surprise there was zero emotion from AM. I can’t tell you how much I admire this Judge!
I get so tired of these talking heads always trying to find an angle too push back on. AM can stand up there and take the heat of Newman‘s fabulous sentencing. Sentence was appropriate mooCourt tv talking heads....state that the judge went overboard. Really? AM killed his wife and son, who has a problem with two consecutive life sentences?!
I thought I read somewhere that defense was going to do one after the sentencing. Looking for a link!Are there 2 pressers?
Same! And to think that Judge Newman will be presiding over many (most?) of the huge docket remaining for AM's financial crimes... Won't *that* be interesting (i. e., what kind of penalties may be given to a defendant who is not just "broke", but totally has a negative balance in the hundreds of thou$$$and$)? Anyone?Judge Newman’s address to AM and the court was beyond anything I imagined. He has such a way of expressing himself, and no surprise there was zero emotion from AM.

Jussie Smollet's judge gave him a similar dressing down. It was great.I have never heard a summation of sentencing like the one done by Judge Newman. He was so truly heartfelt, and seemed saddened by the entire case. He was having none of Alex's lies, he held him accountable for once in his life.
I loved this Judge before this case, followed him on other cases, but admire him 100 x more now. I hope he continues in good health and honorable conduct for many years to come. We need more like him.
MOO
If you guys were jurors, would you talk to the media?
I think it was discussed and decided no more needed to be said. I believe they would have if it would have made a difference and discussed with State. State knew what the judge would do and say....I was a bit surprised sister of Maggie did not get up but she has been thru so much and probably wants to maintain a relationship with Buster who has not been involved in this (at least it seems).No one spoke on behalf of Maggie and Paul! Does this mean they don’t think he did it? I can’t imagine any other reason.
Judge is so disgusted with AM and has no doubt he did it! Consecutive LWOP!
I will say if I were innocent and in front of the judge sentencing me to life I would be shaking/losing my mind. AM was so composed and rehearsed in his denial!
Ugh…I forgot about the defense presserI thought I read somewhere that defense was going to do one after the sentencing. Looking for a link!
I'm wondering if Randy is the only family member who doesn't believe Alex. LG clearly thinks he has been wrongly convicted. Unclear with little brother and BM. OMO.Was Randy there ? Didn’t see him…..
