The press is gathering around the entrance to the Colleton County courthouse where the AG’s office will be speaking soon. Despite the crowd it’s mostly quiet, except for the occasional cry of “thank you Lord” from Rev. Raymond Johnson, from Mt. Pisgah Baptist church, Marion SC

Press conference will be shown on CNN, CourtTV, probably more…

Prosecution will speak, not defense nor jury…per CourtTV

Will Alex appear in prison orange garb tomorrow?

Probably not. He'll be allowed to make his last appearance in civvies wearing -- wait for it -- the blue shirt that was missing!

Who would even give victim impact statements besides Maggie’s sister?

Maybe her parents.

I want to take a moment of silence on the crazy train for those fallen PM and MM please rest in peace now that we have your killer behind bars. Also want to give BM a blessing in hopes that he will find his way through all this because as of now he is a man on an emotional island. We celebrate and at the same time bow our heads in our own time and pray for the healing of those lives destroyed by this man.

Never seen a judge comment right after a verdict so approvingly like that before, saying there was an overwhelming amount of evidence. And he is correct.

I think all that "reasonable doubt" chatter on the internets was coming from a lot of trial newbies. I'm guessing the Johnny Depp trial got some new people into trial watching, but they don't yet understand criminal trials and how you have to put a lot of time in to learn what the evidence is and also how to weigh it.

I'm grateful for this site where the members do know what's up.

I’m not new to trials……..this one through me for a loop.

 

[MyJoey]

will be interesting to see if AM cry’s during the victim statements!

Convicted Felon AM is leaving the courthouse via L&C footage.

 

[Edvis]

I can’t think of a better group of people to go through this whole rollercoaster of a trial with. Thank you all for your camaraderie and the sharing of knowledge and opinions. I am so happy tonight!

It's what family does.

The son he was willing to sacrifice had the last word, good for you Paul, may you and your mother RIP

 

[TravelingCircusof5]

Will he be transferred to general population in prison now?

I am a long time lurker. I created my websleuths account here during the Kelsey Berreth trial. I was on here hours every day and through the trial. I remembered today how it felt to await the outcome of that trial - luckily, a guilty verdict there. As a native South Carolinian who vacations in Edisto, the initial reports of these events drew me in and I came back here in the last few weeks to "watch" the trial with you. I knew y'all would provide much better and respectful commentary than social media.

Oh, thank goodness for this verdict. I wore my Edisto t-shirts all week. I'll pay my respects to Maggie's house this summer. I am so grateful to Judge Newton for being so gracefully unflappable and to the prosecution for showing that there was only one person at the center of the murders.

Now I will be here (probably lurking) to watch the outcome of the Vallow Daybell trial(s).

Who would even give victim impact statements besides Maggie’s sister?

Her friends, her sister, Paul's friends, Alex ex-partners, Blanca etc...

 

[bestill]

Law & Crime are still saying there's more to this. I really don't think so at this point, I wanted to believe it when it happened that there were 2 stranger shooters but the actions after that lead in another direction. He did it and it's sickening to think so but it's time to accept it. Judge was great!

Hearing 8pm for news conference.

I hope that BM will continue to have a relationship with MM's family. It is important for him to be surrounded by anyone who will continue to honor his mother and brother, first and foremost, rather than supporting his father before his mother and brother.

The train is a rocking my fellow sleuths and drinks all around get up on the bar and dance if you want. This is something I was hoping for and it feels so good in my heart personally to know that a horrific man will be put away and caged like he should be. The train will be open and partying the rest of the week and into the weekend and already ordered extra booze and extras needed to rock this train. Thank you all fellow sleuths for riding along and believing in justice served, LET'S PARTY!!!!!!

Thank YOU and everyone for being here on this crazy ride !!
Dogs, chickens, Hogs, Pigs, Eggs, and a booze club car on the train ride !

You all have been a great group to watch and discuss with... everyone got along, able to disagree nicely, and added humor into the mix.

You all are the BEST !!!!

See you tomorrow for Sentencing.

Considering AM, admitted to most of his financial crimes on the stand, do you think they will plead those charges, avoid a trial?

At this point I see no other option legally. AM’s testimony would be used against him. He’s toast and already a (probable) lifer. Why fight it?

 

[katydid23]

Law and Crime talking heads pretty much ignoring the GUILTY verdict---they are still arguing that AM probably hired someone to beAt up Paul, to gain public sympathy about the boat trial.

OK, even if he did, it would be Felony Murder against AM because of the deaths.
