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

[I am not Sherlock H.]

This cross is going into the ditch! MO

And that objection from defense on fifth amendment….. slippery slope here.

Calling out the shapeshifter!

Why are they letting Alex run the narrative!

AM is lying his way right into a hole. To show the jury how his stories change.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

So he was taking 60 or more pills a day and never left pills around because he was worried someone would find them. Did he go get pills from a dealer daily? Did he sleep with pills in his pocket? How the heck did he takes that much and not leave them places?

Nobody saw withdrawals except his family. So in his desperate moments when not having pills no-one saw his withdrawals? I find it really hard to believe he just always had pills on him, never left them around, he never ran out when he needed to be working.. was so good at this that he didn't get messed up at work because he didn't have pills.. for 20 years?

This isn't really believable the way he is telling all of this. It sounds like "drug addiction" is his easy way out of explaining how he could lie, cheat, steal his family and friends. He can save face by blaming drugs for his behavior and not ever really having to take blame because at the end of the day he can say, I wouldn't have done it if I didn't do the drugs. So he says the right words to get people to feel sorry for him, but every time he can just say the drugs, the drugs, the drugs..

Spinning, spinning, creating new information, playing "dumb", pushing CW to keep repeating the questions... Sounds to me like a "stall" strategy by AM (and maybe his defense team).

JG and DH are looking a bit worried!

I missed Buster testifying that Paul’s kennel video did not include his father’s voice. Big point in impeaching a witness?

Anderson Cooper 'stunned' as Alex Murdaugh contradicts his own son's testimony

When he took the stand in his own defense at trial for double homicide of his wife and son on Thursday, disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh admitted it was his voice on the tape near the place and time of the killings — something his own surviving son had testified the day before was...

He’s a psycho

He may be but are they beating a dead horse-- in other words the important points hsve been made-------
is the prosecution risking having the jury getting annoyed with them



points have been made, are
they now risking

No attorney client privilege when the lawyer participates in a national television interview. Alex's lawyers are desperate.

Alex seems like a ball of confliction today. Angry, defeated, determined, resentful.

Interesting that every one of this jackets is clearly from an expensive suit, and doesn't fit properly. Such an obvious attempt to make him appear frail, pathetic, a shadow of his former self. No reason why no one in the family couldn't buy him a couple new blazers. Clothes can make the man, after all.

MOO

Did Alex ever check into rehab to detox prior to the murders? He keeps saying he tried many times. Always on his own?

Until I see documentation I don’t believe it. Even with documentation I would have to know if it’s legit. I 100% don’t believe he was a drug addict. It’s a big fabricated story to cover his crimes.

 

[girlhasnoname]

He said yesterday his first rehab stint was in 2017 and he said he went 3 times in patient.. so he must have went once more after 2017 and before he "was shot on the side of the road" and went to that rehab in 2021.

He said he had done detox (7 days) 3 times not rehab IIRC.

We need a drowning emoji.

[Ray_of_hope]

I want toxicology screen proof of the addiction that AM is using as an excuse. Where is the proof. They must have done screens in rehab.

 

[Seattle1]

I dunno -- don't think allowing AM to "humanize" himself in his folksy, storytelling way, is a good move for the state. If AM appealed to at least one juror yesterday, he's owning that juror in the first hour of testimony!

In other words, AM is too good at his mastery manipulation that he should not be allowed to tell a story. The prosecution should be telling the story. JMO

 

[justtrish]

haha ya'll oh man.. I'm not telling the jury anything about that. Okay great good.

Would you buy a used car from this guy?

Shifty, slippery, schmoozing, lying, cheating. They’re victims because I was a victim.

Killing, and basking in the sympathy that hurried his way after.

Spinning, spinning, improvising ("making stuff up") allllll along the way...

Oh, and *pretending ignorance* after every other one of CW's questions. Such an actor!

 

[Sunshynn]

I think the defense is praying for the floor to open up and swallow them right about now...MOO.
