Don’t kill anybody and you should be ok
Nah, he's just anticipating there will be a motion while being sure not to give any indication he's already made up his mind to deny the motion. And yes, I fully expect he will deny the motion when it's made, and it won't take him long to do so.
I wonder if the state would even entertain a change in plea or plea bargain for a reduced sentence at this point. Usually, those are done early on to not have to spend the money and time to prep and actually have a trial.
Thoughts? How bout you @tigerbean? If AM wanted to change his plea at this point for a reduced sentence, does the state even consider it?
Didn’t think the first two from the defense were particularly strong.
The wife and I and some friends went to the trial today. We got there around 7:30 and probably were some of the last ones to get in. We told our wives it was their Valentine day gift. It was an experience and we met some really nice people. The jury looks like they were mostly gathered from a local trailer park and I don’t mean that as a knock on any of you that live in a TP. In fact, let me go ahead and redact the previous sentence. I think the evidence today is as close to the bloody glove as you can get, but we know how that turned out, so who knows.
It seems today was the day that will do him in
I don’t think his ego would ever admit to what was done or plea. $$$crimes he may take a deal but no way he admits to the kind of scene found that night, he’ll claim his innocence his whole life.
I'm really surprised Alex didn't head somewhere with no extradition when he had the chance.
AM ain't the brightest bulb on the tree... First the pocket knife, now the phone... Why didn't he Hillary Clinton that phone and drop it in the first river he crossed ??
Looks about right per our TI brethren
I would think you would always take a plea because only 1/12 jurors can hang a jury
but after the Friday summary with car data, the state wouldn’t bend very far on sentencing.
But what is CRYSTAL clear is that Alex cared about no one but himself - and that remains to this day - why spend 600-700k on a defense when it doesn’t matter - his name is mud whether convicted or not
and to put his family through this AGAIN
probably cost the state 2-3 million maybe more
lots of items I expect to hear in closing
Alex makes several comments that haven’t been highlighted in court
like firing the gun with the laser “that night”
and he says in one interview “back to the kennels” when he hadn’t allegedly been there
plus the looking at the girl pic in a thread when your son and wife are lying there
he didn’t open the text from his brother about dad
he erased so many calls from his history
all while “distraught”
total narcissistic asshole
THEY ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF HIM - no matter how you spin the facts
I pretty much erase calls daily or at least 3-4 times a week and many people do. Now if he had 300 calls on his log and did not have a habit or history of deleting calls then this would be significant.
I don’t know. I just remember it being announced several weeks before the trial that the state had decided not to seek the death penalty. The death penalty typically requires there to be certain aggravating circumstances (I.e. murdering someone while in the commission of another violent crime and others as defined by law) to be applied and I’m not certain that applied in this case. I’m not an attorney so I could be wrong about this.

First of all, procedurally, the state has to give notice of a death penalty trial.
Double murder probably qualifies for death penalty, but with it involving family members, and surviving children, it would probably be a more difficult verdict to obtain.
I put both my work phone and personal phone on airplane mode all the time. I get home that work goes right into airplane mode til next morning. I erase phone logs and texts all the time including search history. Phones seem to work better when this is done. I have no delusions that they don’t have record of all of it just makes the phone easier to navigate.
Right. Thats the part of this saga that I have not paid attention to. Obviously they did not.
Enjoy your contributions @tigerbean. Your perspective as an attorney adds great value.
As to things you mentioned (and likely many more) is it fair game for the state to drive home these points although they weren't elaborated upon during testimony? Personally I thought the various witnesses dropped the ball big time by not following up at the respective times when Alex offered up these nuggets.
ATST during the testimony by Maggie's sister as to why Maggie had to be convinced by her to go to Moselle on that fateful evening - I thought the state should have pursued that.
Many more as a Monday morning QB but some were just almost too obvious.
Agreed wholeheartedly. @tigerbean has been crushing it. Just fantastic analysis!
The state got extremely lucky with that GM data. That information was not introduced by the FBI guy on the vehicle data. Very very lucky but it basically makes AM entire statement to LE a lie
Now this is evidence. What was he doing with her phone and why did he turn it off?
That makes the video at the kennels plus broken alibi more solid.
Honey…we goin to da Murdaugh trial! Happy vday baby I luh you boo!
Check out the do not disturb feature. Itll do it for you automatically if youre in a meeting, at dinner, vacation, working out, etc and send an auto message.
Just link your schedule. You can also let your phone know who can contact you during those periods.
Like my wife can always call and ask me where the pepper is or whats for dinner no matter what my schedule shows.
Always answer when the wife wants to spice up things!!!
Haven’t really been following the trial except for occasionally checking it here. Saw some highlights from yesterday on TV and dang if my brother wasn’t sitting about 5 rows back. Lol
I believe he erased 2 of 5 calls to Maggie that night. From his phone. Cell phone company had a list of all calls. He couldn't erase them from their database.
Haven't read thru this whole thread but did LE search the area at his mom's house where he stopped for a couple minutes on his way back to the kennels? Did they ever search his mom's house?
I think they did a couple months later
