SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #33

[Boodles]

Either way the story makes no sense. If he didn't drive his father in an old truck, he drove himself in an old truck and risked making his father miss a critical appointment, or his brother missing whatever it was that he needed to get back for. I guess it's possible, but it sounds like malarkey. JMO.

No, that’s not what happened. Here’s the deal:

WAIT a minute...

The place the truck broke down is Varnville and that is where Almeda is? I'm going to have to pull up a map and look at this now. I was already thinking it sounded really iffy.. AND the police chief that was paid money after this passed him and then had to come back.. geez wonder if he was retrieving anything?

Any time I've had someone follow me to make sure I get somewhere, they are behind me you know so they see if I don't make it and they can stop.

Yes. RM3 and Miss Libby’s home is on Almeda Place in Varnville SC.

Some Money crimes may be Federal crimes, and might get him into Federal Prison, which some people call CAMP, as it is cushy and good meals, etc., better than many outside 'Prison' have access to, And WE the Taxpayers pay for that. GRR!
If he is convicted for 2 Murders, he will be in State Prison, with all sorts of 'undesirables', exactly where he belongs. MO not only

Like where Martha Stewart spent her time… a West VA federal prison known as Camp Cupcake.

Agree, not sure why they didn’t, a mistake on their part

It wasn't a "mistake" -- it was corruption IMHO. The Colleton Sheriff and Duffie Stone, the prosecutor, were in the pockets of the Murdaughs. That's why Alex had no issue with the Colleton Sheriff's office, but had a problem with SLED. Duffie Stone -- Alex's father's chosen successor as solicitor -- impeded the investigation. SLED had to be very, very careful and very deferential to avoid being taken off the case, especially since Alex had appointed himself deputy solicitor. It's a miracle that SLED got as far as they did. Now Alex is using the fact that his family name caused him to be treated with kid gloves against the state. I hope the jurors see through all the nonsense. MOO.

Yeah especially since he said he passed him so that leads me to believe prior to that he was behind him. I'm sure inserting the "escort" part was trying to make it not seem fishy because the good ole police chief was "escorting" him. Same one Alex paid $5,000 a month later for "his parents"

Also, he could have driven his wife's car. What was that about she had to take the kids to school? Come on it's a family emergency and you want to drive the truck that might break down and then how convenient it actually did, but not worries you police chief buddy is escorting you so right there near Almeda, you leave the truck on the side of the road. Coincidence? There are way to many of those with this case for my liking.

This is what happens when you are doing shady things and covering up for people in the past. There are too many connections and things that make me question their credibility to just take JMM story at face value. Everyone was being paid or getting favors and in this ones pocket, looking the other way, helping someone skirt responsibly for this, not getting charged for that, etc. In the end it makes it hard to believe they are genuine now then.

For JMM to say the boat case was blown up in the media.. no sir. A girl DIED and your family wanted to make it go away so your precious name wasn't tarnished meanwhile a girl is DEAD.. how would he feel if it was one of his kids that died? Saying that shows just how clueless he is and how protecting his family and their name is everything to him.. more important than the killer of his nephew and sister in law facing justice.

JMM just solidified IMPOV, the special treatment they all received from Local LE! Seriously, a Police Escort to the Hospital?! On Demand?!
I can not even imagine what the Beach family has and IS going trough. I hope and pray they get a Huge settlement, as they will need it to help pay for all the Grief Counseling I hope they are getting. I love Mark Tinsley.

I read it a second time and I still think the story is total malarkey. As I said, with one person driving an unreliable vehicle for no apparent reason whatsoever, it introduced a variety of ways that could have caused either Randy to miss his afternoon appointments or Handsome to miss his doctor's appointment. If JMM had broken down on the way to meet his brother, then what? I guess it's possible, but it seems like there must be more to the story than JMM is telling.

 

[detectivewannab]

Either.

Her wedding ring was under the front seat of her vehicle... That is a sign.

 

[Boodles]

No it wasn’t, they were both going the same way to Moselle at different times, the chief saw him broke down and gave him a ride

That’s not what John Marvin testified to. jmm contacted Greg alexander and asked him to help him get to Moselle.

 

[Loveallmyhorsesdogsandcats]

Except to date we have no testimony on either side that they had less than a loving relationship. (Whether what went on behind closed doors is what family and friends thought was the case.) Even her sister said she thought things were ok between them. If Maggie had approached a divorce lawyer at some point, we havent heard from them. So if a new witness appears saying Alex was their lover, what will that prove? Many cheat and still remain married for years. If a friend of Maggie’s knew an affair was hurting her and she wanted out, wouldn’t the prosecution have brought that up by now?

Correct but Alex was a master of projecting an image. I do think that if MM was having concerns she would have discussed with her sister but maybe not. I don‘t think AM is capable of a true emotional connection, able to disconnect if need be. Agree many cheat with no intention of breaking up the marriage. If there is testimony of infidelity the state can weave it into the motive narrative, now you have money issues and infidelity. There have been several comments as to lack of motive, I don’t agree, I think the financial issues and other pressures are why but for some reason cheating seems to satisfy the why motive for many, I don’t understand that. If it were about cheating why kill Paul?

Ok, thank you , I thought he contacted him after he broke down

 

[kaen]

I wonder if the law firm was providing hotel receipts that are related to the escort who had been horribly abused by AM in North Charleston....

 

[Snoopster]

OMG! That child needed to see an MD. Holy cow!!!!!!!!!! How horrible.

You just reminded me of another inconsistency in AM's testimony.
Remember how often he said that he and Maggie were very concerned about Paul's swollen feet, but that Paul didn't want to go to a doctor?
Then the prosecution pulled out an exhibit that showed a text from Paul saying that his feet were swollen and he needed to set up a doctor's appointment. So clearly Paul wasn't resistant to the idea...he was pushing the idea and was worried himself.

ETA: ooops. Just catching up and see that Gardenista already addressed this.

 

[Luna20]

According to a few posts on here, the state has evidence that Alex is not a “family man"

I think they would have to have proof of that in the way of a witness. The witness would have already been recorded before trial began. I’m not sure though.

I'm thinking it's this sex worker

I read it a second time and I still think the story is total malarky.

My point was addressing your point to say that RM3 was not driven to an important Dr appt in Savannah in an unreliable old farm truck. I guess you don’t believe they took him in Ms Libby’s car. Ok. That part of the logistics of the day doesn’t really matter.

 

[Regal Beagle]

duplicate

 

[Regal Beagle]

IMO, I can't for the life of me believe that Paul asked Alex to make that Dr appt. Moms and Dr's appts go hand in hand. Alex couldn't even give the reason why Mags went to her dr appt..." a stomach thing". What? An ulcer? A virus? Irritable Bowel? Lactose intolerance? He had no clue, because he wasn't concerned.

Oh you are right, not til DS recused himself did warrants and other actions start happening- like the roadside shooting, AM lost his shield.
