If what they allege is even half true, he would deserve a new trial. And I think he’s guilty AF. However, his attorneys have been crying wolf and slinging mud since the beginning, so they don’t get the benefit of the doubt now.
I would think irrespective of the murder convictions, there is enough on Murdaugh to keep him on ice for decades or until the rest of his life. How does this guy ever see the light of day outside of prison again?
Meh, they’re just defense attorneys doing their job. But of course you have to take that into account - their job is to make this sound like the worst thing that’s ever been done in the history of the known universe, so its very possible, probably likely, that there’s more to it.
Yeah he’s toast either way, but there’s still a sense of justice involved with someone being declared guilty and held accountable for a crime - especially one this vicious - even if it doesn’t mean much in practicality.
Good question, and what D&J are still trying to get figured out. "Don't worry about charging/prosecuting/trying him on all those financial crimes, he's already toast for the rest of his life." In keeping with a lot of this saga, don't worry about this, don't pay attention to that, etc and then all the while try to make sure "bigger stuff" aka murder go away.
My guess is they want to get the financial crimes moved to federal court so that he can serve some time and then get pardoned, since Poot has connections with Biden. If he is charged in the state then a pardon never happens because SC is a red state and they are not pardoning a democrat, or doing a favor for Dick, who is a democrat. If the rolls and parties were reversed then it would work the same way. In short, they obviously think he won’t spend a ton of time in jail if the only charges are related to the financial crimes.
Bingo. Look at the Cory Fleming trial. They specifically went back and forth at the end with “is he in federal or state custody” It’s all a ploy here, too. It would be the least shocking thing ever to find out the juror who signed this sworn affidavit was paid off, family threatened, or family given some job/money/promises somewhere. They also will try to get Newman removed and get a new judge.
They just have to wait out the year to not have Newman as the judge as he is retireing at the end of this year.
Well deserved. Seeing his head drop as the first “10 years” was read was really something. Judge Newman correctly let Fleming and everyone else know FAFO. I do believe part of him is remorseful, I’m just not sure if it’s because he got caught and now his life is flashing before his eyes or because he’s sincerely remorseful toward the victims. I’m curious out of those 20 years (after the Fed sentence is served?) how much he will actually end up serving. Regardless, Judge Newman is remarkable…”I don’t let other courts dictate my rulings” or something to that effect.
I think he’s remorseful for getting caught, how it affects his reputation and his family. If he was really remorseful for what he’d done, he’d have cooperated more. If Alex hadn’t gotten caught, they’d both have continued as they were.

Sounds like reliable appliances except for the Viking. It's a vastly overrated brand
Bosch dishwashers are top shelf!!
True, but he has a $1.9mm home in SC. You cant be shopping at best buy lol
Bosch top of line product
Why not??? If it works you don't need an appliance repairman showing up. Nothing ever breaks down at a convenient time.
If you don't do Miele, go home.
It doesn't mention the Dog Kennels... did they tear them down? How disappointing. That should discount the property by at least half.4147 Moselle Rd, Islandton, SC 29929 | realtor.com®

I find it totally unsurprising the dog kennels are gone. I would think all of the outbuildings where the murders took place would have been razed to remove the stigma.
Certainly one of the top five all-time here. No question.
What did you find the most damning piece in the case against him? The lie about being at the kennel?
Ugh. We have two of those three…and why I’ve retained First American Home Warranty.
The Thermidor has been trash. Mrs FCT insisted. Now she won’t use the steam side and bitches about the other side constantly. We never use the grill - heats slow and cleanup is a bear - and griddle element has been replaced twice. So we rarely use either. Don’t recommend to anyone to get grill or griddle elements.
