Alex is going to say "I was on drugs...I was addicted...I didn't remember going to the kennel...I didn't mean to hurt anyone I was just stealing to cover my drug debts..." omg.

Then after that I threw my soul into a big dark hole then followed it in!.

DH is always trying to control the court room. I think the judge has been too forgiving of him!

Agree, he could be a bit more stern because he has every reason to. I did love when Newman said “the court objects”
DH and friends have definitely tried to rule the court and I do think Newman is on to him.

JG should be penalized for tweeting that article. I would think that in itself can be reason for a mistrial but just my opinion.

I feel like I've pulled up a lawn chair so I can watch this train wreck.

Cleared my schedule though so I don't miss a minute of this. Freezer meal. Husband can walk the cat. Quick walk. Because I don't have a cat. Or a husband.

I'm perplexed though -- did the pygmy ninjas steal his earlier outfit?

How silly they must look. 5'2 drowning in XXLs....

They leave on skateboards?

JMO

Same! Last night my husband said “I assume if he testifies we should order pizza and leave you alone with Vinnie Politan for the night?”

Crying salts. Something in his sleeve to bring down buckets of tears. He’s an ugly crier like myself.

Harpootlian says the defense has one witness who will testify briefly before AM. The defense’s 10th witness is Nolan Tuten, the brother of Nathan Tuten, who testified earlier in this trial. Tuten is a friend of Paul Murdaugh.

Tuten is being questioned by defense attorney Maggie Fox. This is her second witness of the trial.

Tuten testifies he hung out with Paul a lot at Moselle. They would hunt and fish there. Tuten: “We would never walk” to the kennels. They would drive. Paul would leave guns in his truck “all the time” at Moselle, including the .300 Blackout rifle.

Tuten saw AM at Moselle on the night of the shootings. “He was pretty distraught. … He gave me a hug and started crying and told me they were gone.”

Prosecutor David Fernandez rises to cross Tuten.

“You were as close a friend to Paul as there could be,” Fernandez said. Tuten agrees. Tuten says Paul was a loyal friend, someone you could call in the middle of the night and he’d be there for you. Tuten says Maggie Murdaugh was like a second mom to him.

Prosecution trying to establish that it was odd AM didn’t take the dog kennel driveway on his way out of Moselle toward his mom’s house on the night of 6/7/21.

Fernandez: If you all were down there (at the kennels) and Maggie or Alex were at the house and knew you were down there, would they typically drop by before leaving to see if you needed anything? Tuten: “More often than not, yeah.”

Tuten testifies he has watched the kennel video. He said he hears Paul, Miss Maggie and Alex Murdaugh in background of the video. I’ve lost count of the number of witnesses who have confirmed that Alex’s voice is in that 8:45 p.m. video at the crime scene.

Tuten testifies he and Paul planned to work on a sunflower field at Moselle on the afternoon of 6/7/21, but Tuten got hung up at work and couldn’t make it.

Tuten testifies Alex Murdaugh kept repeating “the boat wreck” to him on the night of the slayings. AM also asked Tuten to get in touch with Rogan Gibson, another friend of Paul’s who was the last to speak with him before the shootings began.

Tuten testifies that from the Moselle main house, you can tell if the lights are on at the kennels (about 400 yards away), and you can see the roof of the kennels, but you can’t see what’s going on down there.

The jury is excused for a short break before Alex Murdaugh testifies.

Newman asks if Harpootlian needs any more time to confer with his client. Harpootlian: “He indicated he doesn’t need to talk to me. Hurts my feelings,” but we don’t need any more time. We’re on a 10-minute break before we return with AM on the stand.
