SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #28

It was ONE fingernail. He worked at their property. His dna is probably all over various things out around the kennel. There is no telling what she picked up or touched.

The defense’s only apparent argument is that the investigation was sloppy and was not perfect. So I want DH and JG to name one investigation that was perfect. Just one.
The fact is all these sloppy things in the investigation do not negate the enormous amount of evidence that points directly at AM.
The fact is a lot of the sloppiness is directly related to AM’s influence in that community, as LE deferred to the great and powerful Murdaugh early who invited all his friends and family to the house that night and day after.

Doesn't sound rehearsed at all, nope not at all. This is sickening using this woman like this.

So, Barbara Mixon is one of the people that Alex through under the bus by saying he got drugs from her?
And she's testifying for him?
SMH!

Interesting, she had LE notification

Interesting on L&C Joe McCullough said he's still in the "hung jury" camp.

They have to say that stuff because otherwise there would be no TV show.

Who is Chrissy?

Doesn't sound rehearsed at, nope not at all. This is sickening using this woman like this.

She may be rehearsed now but she won't be when the state starts their cross. Poor woman having to be put in this position.

BMixon called AM at 3:58pm asking him to come check on his mom. AM was approximately 10 minutes away at this point, but he didn’t see a need to go check on her until approximately 9:22pm…

 

[AC's Grandma]

Imagine the stories this woman could tell.

The state is smart, they won't hurt her.

I thought they settled it in exchange for removing BM and MM being named but not dropped it.
I could be wrong though. JMO.

Right, they still have the civil suit against the rest of the defendants.

The defense calls its eighth witness, Barbara Mixson, one of AM’s mother’s housekeepers and caregivers. She is 71. Still cares for Libby Murdaugh. Mixson was also called out on Murdaugh’s roadside shooting confession video for (allegedly) selling Murdaugh pills.

Mixson testifies she knows AM as well as one of her kids. Griffin: Do you love him like one of yours? Mixson: “I sure do.” Mixson testifies Maggie was like a daughter and a friend. They spoke every day.

Mixson testifies she called AM on the afternoon of 6/7/21 to ask him to come by Almeda later on that day because his mother was agitated after Randolph Murdaugh III (her husband) was taken to the hospital. That call was at 3:58 p.m.

“She was crying a lot. I couldn’t get her to eat. She was just agitated," Mixson said of Libby Murdaugh.

Griffin elicits testimony from Mixson that she worked 6/14/21-6/16/21, around the time Shelley Smith says she saw AM carry a “blue something” into Almeda. Griffin: “Did you see a tarp opened up anywhere in Miss Libby’s house?” M: “No, sir.” Not on a rocking chair? “No, sir.”

Griffin: Have you ever seen a blue tarp laid out? Mixson: “I’ve never seen a blue tarp laid out at the house.” Mixson steps down.

Interesting details about Paul's close relationship with Gloria Satterfield and how she and Elleck didn't get along as well.

I wish I didn't have dark thoughts about her death, given what happened regarding the lawsuit afterwards.

 

[Derph]

Spared her!! Good job!

What do you think about Alex not standing when the jury leaves? To me its an obvious disrespect, one he is aware of, and is indicative of his continued obstinance. But he KNOWS what this shows...just amazing.

He was raised with Disrespect of Rules. Order, Morals, Ethics, to think he is better than others. Maggie raised her children the same way, according to those who knew knew her in Hampton, and some commenting that she never corrected her sons, even when young....Turns out, no better, and some worse...

 

[bestill]

Well that's that. I hope Ms. Barbara is remembered in Mrs. Libby's will...jmo

The defense calls its ninth witness, Micah Sturgis, a former police officer and detective who seems to be an expert in cell phone forensics.

Why does John Marvin have an attorney that needs to be there?

God knows why...maybe because he's the only non-attorney surrounded by attorneys and they told him he should?

AM … All those opioids seemed to impair your cunningness, IMO.

All that talk about variables yesterday…. Paul’s use of his camera/cellphone was a variable AM did not anticipate. The fact that the defense hasn’t presented an expert to refute the videos screams volumes to me.

We just listened to 30 minutes of discussion about pictures of flip flop prints….

JMO. moo

That's a really interesting point. Opiates would, IMO, dull the sense of cunning (strategizing, working a scheme, conning, stealing, grifting, etc). Perhaps that's the reason opiates were his preferred drugs (his own attempt to avoid having to actual change his stripes, but instead to dampen down the irresistible urges that his genes gave him...to steal, deceive, etc).

Paul was about to be on trial for homicide, had an alcohol problem, was reckless, etc. BM cheated enough in law school to get kicked out. AM - well, we know what he's capable of. Sounds like there are likely more generations of antisocials on this family tree.

If PM and MM had found AM's main stash of pills, the ones he replenished from, he must have been furious. And out of control, mentally as the need to secure the means of his addiction became paramount. We don't know how many pills this was, but a "bag" had to be quite a few - his mental insurance policy, and it was Librium that he also had (I've seen two different versions of what the other pill might be), that would serve the same purpose. Indeed, some people take benzos in order to wean themselves off opiates, usually repeating a cycle.

He probably saw those as his "happy pills" that kept him from being a raging homicidal maniac from day to day.
