Miss Shelly said he was messing with his phone the whole time. My cynical self says he just used her as an alibi.
And it burns me up that his dad was taken to the hospital with days (if that) to live, and Alex just stayed at PMPED, working more criminal angles to “solve” his boat case issues. His dad was dying! He didn’t even care. Oh wait, he probably did care, but only because of inheritance. I hope he got nada from his dad.

I understand as long as it's not disturbed. I would imagine a seat belt would be desturbed often. At least that's what it sounds like.

Yes, and prosecution was right on target. Determined. And ready for the fight. It makes one sit on the edge of our chairs.

U boy!! "...while wearing the coat inside-out, or wrapping the jacket around “objects with a high amount of GSR on them.”
Correct. Those clothes he was wearing then would have the residue and conveniently those clothes are MIA. There is no gun in that video either. We only have a story from AM that Paul shot twice and he shot once. The defense will likely try to get the idea across that the GSR came from the shotgun AM was holding when LE arrived. They will ask and infer that GSR can stay on a firearm for an indefinite amount of time; can transfer to whomever picks it up next, and LE doesn't know who or when that shotgun was last fired. Somehow they will need to show that the Murdaughs didn't clean their expensive firearms after using them.

Ok good, it must just be me. I am glad that he’s not a clown like DH.

Surprised AM didn’t make a list of to do!
Thought he was smart enough to never get caught at anything! But he’s not!

Defense attorneys asked the judge to prevent further testimony about the raincoat after the caretaker for Murdaugh's ailing mother testified that she saw him bring a “blue something, looked like a tarp” into his mother's home nine days after the killings.
State agents got a search warrant four months after the killings and found a tarp but also a blue rain jacket.
State Law Enforcement Agent Megan Fletcher testified she found a large amount of gunshot residue inside the jacket and said it was consistent with either firing a gun while wearing it inside out or being wrapped around a recently fired weapon. Court ended Tuesday before she could be cross examined.
Defense attorneys said prosecutors didn't connect the jacket to Murdaugh through the caretaker's confusing testimony and that it would be unfair and harmful to his case to let state agents testify about what the testing on the jacket found. Witnesses have testified the Murdaugh family constently shot guns and hunted on their property and the residue can't be linked to a specific weapon.
The defense did an “effective job in cross-examination in raising questions as to the credibility of the witness. And that is the exact job the jury has to do — weigh the credibility of the witness,” the judge said.

I’m thinking he might be resigned to it now because he is saving his gusto for an appeal.
Or maybe someone told him he was acting like a fool and not impressing anyone and because he can't do anything differently he has taken a second chair. The thing it is obvious to most who know how he normally handles a trial. Me thinks it might be the judge who set him down. Judge Newman will not put up with a circus in his courtroom.
