Shows just how important AM’s phone was to him…and AM had no calls on his phone on the 7th, only the 2 FaceTime calls…but Maggie’s had his calls listed on her phone.

Just tuning in. Do y’all think Watters can afford to spice it up some like DH does? Watters is very bullet point with his questions but I feel like he should throw in some emotional lagniappe like DH does. “He really loved Paul didn’t he?” I think Watters is missing opportunities and can be boring to the jury.

Waters ends his questioning. Jim Griffin rises to cross-examine Crosby.

Crosby testifies about going to a local mechanic's shop where Paul had dropped off his truck a few days before. He said Paul's long guns - a 12-gauge shotgun and a .300 Blackout rifle - weren't in the truck. And Paul hadn't removed them when he dropped the truck off, video showed.

Crosby pulled that video from the shop's surveillance camera. Crosby is now testifying about how gory the crime scene was. He seems shaken up, taking long pauses before answering yes or no questions.

Griffin is again trying to establish possible flaws with the beginning of the investigation of the slayings. Crosby testifies that law enforcement apparently had not searched the Moselle home before a bunch of PMPED lawyers, relatives and friends showed up there the next day.

Murdaughs had some quirks, Crosby says. He would take phone calls and walk out in the middle of depositions, conversations and partner meetings, Crosby said.

Crosby testifies the law partners knew Murdaugh was having trouble sleeping after the slayings. He was taking sleeping medicine and anxiety meds. That's what Seckinger was referring to with the "pills" comment earlier today, Crosby says.

After the slayings, Murdaugh would come into the PMPED office and fall asleep in his chair, Crosby testifies. He also lost a lot of weight. He wasn’t sleeping well.

Crosby testifies about Murdaugh bringing a gun when they all went boating on the Fourth of July a month after the killings. Griffin: "Had you ever seen Alex carry a gun around before for protection? Before the murders?" Crosby: “No.”

On redirect of Crosby, prosecutor Waters once again tries his signature final question. Waters: “You’ve known Alex Murdaugh how long?” Crosby: “I guess a total of 25 years or so.” Waters: “Did you really know Alex Murdaugh?” Griffin objects. Newman sustains the objection.

For those keeping score at home, Waters is now 1/3 on nailing his dramatic last question.

The next witness is expected to speak to gunshot residue.

I've seen and listened to hundreds of lawyers in my long life. Ronnie Crosby is the most sensitive and emotional of them all.
MOO

The man seems truly devastated by it all </3

 

[clearskies1]

Maybe since PM hunted on his property so much and was known to leave his possessions all over the state, Crosby was wondering if some got left on his land?

Crosby testified he went to repair shop and looked in Paul's truck, which had been left at the shop to be fixed before the murders. Looked inside the truck and did not see Paul's shotguns there. He also said he looked at surveillance video and didn't see Paul removing his shotguns from the truck when the truck was dropped off.

I like Waters being extremely direct. He gets in a zinger every now and then, JMO

Wasn't there something about the secret conversation? Isn't that why he's a witness?

He gets so choked up talking about Paul

He should get choked up. He should shed some tears also but I don't think he can quite squeeze any out. I'll give him an E for effort though. IMO it is his fault PM and MM are dead. Whether he murdered them or not, he is responsible and will pay in this life or the next.

Oh, I don't think he went there to see momma at all. And I don't think he went there to be seen by her either.

iMO he went there to be seen by the caregiver, someone whose loyalty he was certain he could buy.

He was wrong.

JMO

Seen by the caregiver and by the surveillance camera in momma's room. That was double insurance!

This was about Ronnie Crosby, not Alex

Not secret, just in the presence of many lawyers including Jim Griffin. It was that AM told him during that time that he never went to the kennels.

 

[passionflower]

I really think he did not expect Paul to be there, but so evil that he shot him in the face. AM makes me sick to my stomach.

Has any witness say who was murdered first? Paul or Maggie? Interesting

So where are the two guns if not removed from the truck when PM dropped off his truck at the shop?
