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

[10ofRods]

Going back to previous AM testimony. If he asked his counsel to set up meetings with the prosecution or LE and they did not, is that misconduct or malpractice? They put him in a horrible position to be seen as a liar.

Both lawyers need to watch out, if it is true then sanctions, the bar, AM or a stray house cat could come for them. Lol.

I do believe his attorneys could have made it happen if they wanted to. Once AM was charged, I can see why the prosecution didn't want to "reach out" and have a congenial chat with him off the record. Which it appears is what he wanted (a chance to brown nose them?)

AM had attorneys through whom he could communicate whatever he wished (whatever it was he wanted to say in an off the record convo) - but on the record. If he wanted to plea bargain, he needed to do it through his attorneys

Criminal defendants don't just get to ask favors and get meetings with the prosecution - I've never heard of such a thing (although I'm sure it's happened in the history of legal proceedings).

AM constantly switching from “Maggie and Paul“ to “Mags and PawPaw” is like people changing tenses in their explanations … a sign of deception …. AM definitely can’t stay on his script. Also, now that he has the details from all the data shown during the trial, he has been able to change his story to try to fit the facts.

JMO.....

AM was not happy with MM. He didn't appreciate her asking him to come down to the kennels. He can't remember if he even spoke to Mags aka Babe.... but he was steadily trying to call her before he left the property?????? But he can't remember what he said to her when he left the kennel area?

And watching replay of testimony..... Waters askes AM about the video.... AM..."Pawpaw wasn't in the kennel anymore...."

IMO, AM is describing how PM was found deceased.

AM had NO IDEA about Cash's tail. None. That is why he did not know about the video.

JMO. moo

The last words he said to his wife and son should have stuck in his brain like a photograph. You don't find two loved ones murdered like and forget your most important last words, even more so when it has only been one hour.

 

[Megnut]

He is trying so hard to create a credible story around the evidence. He doesn't even answer from memory. He cites the data!

And now confronted with a minute-long recording explains one minute's worth of time spent as if that's how long he was there.

Credibility fail.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm assuming doctor/patient privilege?

The rapid drug screen (urine) they did after the roadside “shooting” was positive for opiates and barbiturates. That was released by his attorneys a while back.

I don’t think any others have ever been released

He may fool part of the jury but I know some are like me. No way. He’s guilty.

That's all he needs is part of the jury.

[bestill]

looking in the pockets of the son he'd just murdered to find his pills?

Or perhaps he found his pills in Maggie's travel bag, hence the pajamas sitting on the floor in an unusual way?

Court is back in session.

The first time everyone (and I do mean everyone) is hearing this new story by Alex "Mark Twain" Murdaugh.
MOO.

Very well said ! ^^^

AM is acting throughout this trial like he has behaved for certainly much of his life.
Facts do not matter to him, just the story he wants to spin.
It doesn't get much worse than this, to gun down your own flesh and blood -- and also his mother, the woman AM likely told that he 'loved and cherished'.

At the end of the day, Alex is (imo) a cold and evil man.
Two people are dead and need justice !

I'm curious if Alex has some 'hold' over his surviving son and that's why he appears to be supportive of his father ?
M00.

I popped in to watch for just a few minutes during a work break.

AM uses the word "would" a lot in telling what he (supposedly) did on June 7. So he got back to the house and he "would" have entered the front door, "would" have laid down on the couch, etc. (Not sure I'm quoting all that exactly correctly.) It really stood out to me because... Dude, *you* were the one there doing those things so it's not that you *would* have done them, you *did* them!!!

He can't say he did those things because he didn't do them! (He was busy killing his family, imo. But if he hadn't been, he *would* have entered the front door and *would* have laid down on the couch.) Smdh.

MOO.

I don't know how all of you can stand to watch him for more than a couple of minutes. I appreciate all the updates and commentary here. I read when I can to catch up. Thanks, WSers, for keeping it real, including the drinks car!

I like this judge!

MM was cajoling him the day before/settling about him not coming to the game (which it was implied they were all together but it seems they weren't). That day he had asked her to come there, she is asking him to come to the kennel and he felt obligated. And, probably felt angry at her. These were people who were confronting him (gently or not) about the drug use... now there was the financial ruin. I think he broke and then killed them.

Spot on!
I think that is why he didn’t ride down with them. He needed a bit to gather his weapons or anything else he hadn’t completed prior to to MM and PMs arrival at Moselle that evening.
I theorize the dinner, which was seemingly short for a family meal, was because Mags and Pau-Pau confronted him about his drug habit, yet again.

I don’t believe that happened In that way. No way if defense contacted the state and said we have new info to share on the record that they would not meet with them.

 

[10ofRods]

I agree because I don't think AM drove the golf cart to the kennels alone. But that doesn't work with the new fantasy story AM is telling today.

So do you think he took Maggie and Paul with him? That makes sense. I"m still confused about the three cell phones and that data.

 

[Curious Me]

Prosecutor Waters keeps injecting "according to your new story". Love it.
