SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #22

[Edvis]

I feel for the jury! This is rough testimony and DH makes it tougher. If the jury dislikes DH as much as I would having to put up with his BS, they are not listening to anything he proposes. He’s a “look here, not there”, all smoke and mirrors guy. It gives off a dishonest vibe.

Agreed as if he can alter the points of impact and damage caused by the pellet's/ bullets used. For me it's a waste of time as he says let's count the pellets and other useless mumbo jumbo. LOL buckshot is larger pellet balls, birdshot is smaller BB size. The defense doesn't know squat about this other then what they read up quick on.

Something is bugging me that probably has no bearing on anything, but I just want to see if maybe I have this wrong or?? So we know Maggie was at Edisto the morning of the murders because of her texts to Blanca and also Blanca's testimony. From that I assumed Maggie had stayed there at least the night before, which would have been Sunday night. However, didn't the Mom's caregiver (I can't remember her name) that was at his parents' house say Maggie and Alex brought donuts by the house around 9 pm on Sunday night? If that's the case, it would just seem strange to me that Maggie would drive to Edisto that late just to come back first thing the next day.

I do believe Dr R is getting irritated

I wondered if AM was down lying in wait in a hunter’s stance with gun pointed and ready. (lying on belly with gun propped or on one knee crouch?) Hunters usually stay low and under/ behind cover. Now, this was different than duck hunting, but it may have been ingrained behavior.

Am was a very large man, very heavy at the time, so I don't see him lying down and springing up to do anything. Blanca said he wore a size 3X. Old pix show how heavy he was.

Harpootlian now asking Dr. Riemer about a book that she calls well-respected.
This is about a shotgun being fired

Good answer, PM was not a contact wound

I've seen courtroom reporters say that the jurors don't like DH. My guess is the state is just helping them dislike him even more.

What is the point of talking about a contact wound, I am so lost on DH's yellow brick road...

So….Paul shot Maggie & then killed himself???

 

[Katrinepa]

Take out the bigger threat first as they say.

I think he wanted to get access to Paul's phone, so he went to check his body first. He as much as said so. I'd bet he didn't check his wife's body at all, as he shot her so many times. Heartless to say the least.

Yup.

And in AM's 2nd interview with SLED he said Maggie and Buster went to a ballgame on Sunday. But he couldn't remember what he himself did on the weekend. Not a lot of 'together time'.

For the first time since this trial began, members of Maggie Murdaugh's family are scheduled to appear in court today. Marian Proctor, Maggie's sister, is also on the witness list for the state. Something to keep an eye on ... #MurdaughTrial

Harpootlian is trying to establish that Paul was killed with a contact shotgun wound, essentially a direct, execution-style shot to the head. Riemer isn’t buying it. She says Paul's wounds tell her the pellets traveled through his shoulder and neck before hitting his brain.

Glad someone took highlighter away from AM. moo

So where is the gun then, if he killed himself how did he get rid of the gun, DH?>

I wondered the same thing. If she didn’t like going to the kennels at night, she sure as heck isn’t going to drive alone that late at night on the backroads between Moselle and Edisto.
I think she got up early Monday morning, earlier than AM anyway, and drove to Edisto, planning on supervising the work on the house there, going to her doctor’s appointment, then returning to Edisto to stay for a few weeks. AM of course convinced her to come back to Moselle.
Just my thoughts.

DH almost tries to appear dumb asking questions hoping the witness will step in it….this ME won’t.

IMO, DH is milking the horrifyingness of the shotgun wound at close range to Paul’s head to support the whole strategy that this loving father could not have done this to his beloved son. The poor jurors. They’re already traumatized by what they saw yesterday.
