SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #30

[Diddian]

Prediction: Alex will return when the trial resumes, take the stand, and break out in a soul stirring rendition of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." DH accompanying on saxophone.

You'd think an innocent person would remember what you were doing on the night loved ones are murdered? moo

They do, they are usually some of the most poignant memories we have IMO.

Nothing is more dangerous than confronting a narcissist drug addict that you are leaving him.

In the latest documentary by Netflix, it was reported that Maggie had hired a forensic accountant and had visited a divorce lawyer in Savannah before the murders.
AM referred to Maggie and Paul being 'hurt' this morning. I think if it was the work of someone else, he would have described it as it was, 'brutally murdered' and with much anger and hurt. He wouldn't do his usual minimizing, IMO.

That's exactly right!

Paul never was hancuffed or spent a night in jail when arrested. LE took his mug shot in the hallway of the courthouse. The Murdaugh's were treated deferentially.

That’s what I said at the beginning and I was told that it’s not unusual? I haven’t seen any mug shots with a nice pressed shirt in a hallway.

I may be able to make a false narrative for the video if you want to watch the whole thing....

MOO he wants to play the video so he can remember the order of the next lies

I think AM likes to ramble but if the attorney shut him down, you would see his anger and frustration come out.

He needs control.

Depends. If a Juror gave him a tissue box yesterday, it makes me think that person favors him, But From my personal experience, my Mother being murdered, when the Jury came back with the Verdict, they All were crying.
OTOH, he is an expert at reading and Playing he Jury, so who knows if they are empathizing with his BS, or because they have a child themselves, and the details break their hearts. I'm glad there is much more to come before deliberations begin.

I think they have been in court for 5 weeks, and I'm not surprised if some of the jurors are finally showing emotions. This was a horrific crime. NO ONE, including myself, wants to think that a father/husband can do this, but people kill people. Mothers kill children. Children kill parents. People kill over $20 or $20million dollars. People kill people just to kill people. We are living in unfortunate times. IMO, all of these cases are shocking and have to take an emotional toll on the jury.

For all we know, they could have been crying because they are looking at the man that killed MM and PM... in close proximity.

I am so sorry for your loss, Katrinepa.

I demand his Sunday School teacher be called to testify to her credibility! Someone obviously has to held accountable for this man being unable to distinguish a Truth from a Lie.

Is he even a religious man?

If you are just truthfully recounting what happened, it is not hard to have details. This is a man who said that he had a 1200mg oxy habit and performed at work/drove/played golf/hunted/etc. He has more memories of dogs peeing on the trees in order but can't remember the interactions with family because he is lying, has been lying and will lie to to anyone who will listen but always with what he earlier today called "lies of omission" as he had lied to his clients.

MOO he wants to play the video so he can remember the order if the next lies

Jmo

DH didn't like that the video was going to be played again. I saw his reaction to that.

 

[rescuemom]

I mean he was basically a kid, who u want to invite to a double murder scene? Yea right.

I think AM didn't know where Ro Ro was when he was communicating with PM ...was he in town or not. AM didn't want Ro Ro to just show up at Moselle when he couldn't reach PM and MM

 

[kaen]

Watching L and C, as he lectures the prosecutor he shows that he has very clear, rational thinking but goes to confusion when he needs to cover the lie or (as I believe he is doing) continue to lie.

 

[imma]

This is hard for me to watch. I want Waters to pull out a dry erase board that has every event AM has lied about listed on it. And I want Cw to say each item and write LIE in red on top of each line item until he gets to:
I was not at the kennels (play the video)
I did not kill Paul and Maggie

say it out loud...write over it in red


and then bring that dang board right back out for closing arguments later.

Make the facts visual, make it audible, put it in writing.

Yes! He needs to channel Katie Porter.

I wonder why the forensic accountant and divorce atty have not been shared in this case - seems very relevant if it is a fact. I thought all evidence the state has must be in at this point in the trial? I know they have a rebuttal but can that be added if true?

Totally agree. It is horrifying and chilling to sit so close to a monster. And even more so when he and his family have been "the (rhymes with clock) of the walk around these parts" as RM3 described himself to author Pat Conroy.

 

[NottaYutz]

I think the attorney is rambling and letting AM ramble along too long. He should stick to more yes and no questions and make him give a yes or no and stop him from rambling.

I think allowing Alex to ramble is akin to throwing him another shovel. And then another. And then another...

Per Will Folks, "you can tell today that the jury does not believe him"
