[Cindizzi]

Judge said defense opened the door in their cross of the roadside shooting.

Get Cousin Eddie on that bus !

So, when everyone stands up.... AM just sits there. I don't understand why they are allowing that.

What did Newman rule at the end ?

AM shakes JG’s hand…like he is happy with what JG did.

AM starts emptying all his pockets as they wait to transport him out of the building.

The state calls its 58th witness, David Grubes of the S.C. Attorney General's Office. He's the chief forensic investigator for the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Grubes testifies he downloads and analyzes cell phone extractions.

We are now hearing data about Paul's phone battery. It died four times that week. Once on June 3, twice on June 5 and once at 10:34 p.m. on June 7.

Grubes testifies that Paul would often let his phone battery get low. If it died, he would typically plug it in within a few minutes.

It appears that Grubes is testifying about the exact same cellphone data we have already heard (and that has already been admitted into evidence) from SLED digital forensic analyst Britt Dove.

We are hearing about orientation changes on Maggie's phone. Again.

It has come to my attention that his name is spelled Grubbs. Not Grubes. I regret the error.

Lookin' at spreadsheets, baby

Prosecutor John Conrad ends his questioning without providing a single new relevant piece of information, as far as I'm aware.

Newman repeats that he has reversed his decision excluding the 2021 roadside shooting.

Newman: The defense opened the door to the roadside shooting testimony by questioning the witness as to the relationship between Mr. Murdaugh and Eddie Smith, payment of money to buy drugs, indebtedness, etc.

Okie doke. We are done for the story. Story coming at some point.

AM looks like a member of the defense team carrying his files. I bet he wishes he could go back in time to being a “real lawyer” handling cases. His lack of freedom, which in my opinion he deserves, must be hard for him.

Yesterday morning it was 72% Guilty

 

[Edvis]

Defense opened the door to roadside shooting so court reversed its decision to allow for discussion.

I've got spurs that jingle jangle jingle...can't leave that darn door open, how many times have I told you kids lol'

What did Newman rule at the end ?

Newman said he reversed his ruling and will allow all of it pursuant to the doctrine of fairness after the defense questioned the witness about skimming by Smith, gangs, drug sales, etc.

 

[Derph]

Can't cousin Eddie just take the 5th if he's called?? He's awaiting trial. He shouldn't have to say one single thing!

 

[makayla]

I have reservations if Eddie is brought in as a witness, because he could be unpredictable and the defense could make mincemeat out of him … in my opinion

 

[bestill]

Newman said he reversed his ruling and will allow all of it pursuant to the doctrine of fairness after the defense questioned the witness about skimming by Smith, gangs, drug sales, etc.

Does this mean they will use the officer's testimony from the Cousin's interview or will he have to testify?

Thanks. His voice projection was tapering off there at the end.

The defense had to know this would probably happen when they asked that question. They are throwing everything against the wall to make it messy. JMO.

It's weird to even say who may have been shot first. moo

Still got that ole gut feeling PM was taken first since out of the two his odds of hearing that first shot to his mom, sad to say would give him the extra moment to get a heads up and scoot for cover, that would be my move.

Maybe he’s made a deal with the state.

Mint factory.

AM is one slippery character but he’s not dumb. I can imagine that he knew he’d be Suspect Number One…from those first hours. He does hand everything over quote willingly…his phone,etc.

We also know that AM is a stellar liar…for most of his life, an incredibly successful one. He has lied and hidden all sorts of criminality…from family, friends, law partners, clients.

I am no longer sure that AM‘s Big Lie is evidence of guilt. It could just be that he knows he will be a suspect, so hes protecting himself by using his most reliable skill-set…lying.
