I liked the comment in the CNN series from his friend - he said (paraphrasing) "I don't think anyone else did it besides Alex because nobody else in Hampton is crazy enough to kill a Murdaugh."
Well it is his son who will have zero credibility when the prosecution cross exam is over
never underestimate the Poot
A Rooster colored Addams Family.
He's triangulating off of the cartridge casings and the holes.Strong witness so far for the defense. Testified that the shooter is likely 5-2 to 5-4 tall and shooting from the hip based on trajectory. AM is 6-4.
He created the model below showing the position of the shooter based on the shell casing locations and trajectory of two different shots. One issue (and I might be missing something) but it puts the shooter standing right on top of Maggie with the shooters back turned and shooting away from Maggie. Obviously that's not possible, so I'll curious to hear explanation of that and the cross.
Without commenting on the "science" here...
If Paul starts talking, we in a lot of trouble.
Mr. Expert, did you measure the distance from the defendant’s heel to his knee?

This thread just hit 400,000 views.
Well done!
That would be outstanding! Where do I sign?
Agree 100% for those that dont know. In your own words, what was he trying to accomplish?
I wonder if they will raise the possibility of the shooter being down on one knee
How tall was Maggie?Strong witness so far for the defense. Testified that the shooter is likely 5-2 to 5-4 tall and shooting from the hip based on trajectory. AM is 6-4.

It would be an interesting twist if Maggie actually killed Paul, and Alex killed Maggie out of rage. The rage/retaliation part would also explain why Alex didn't attempt to explain this and tried to cover it up, because he had fault and probably felt that nobody would believe self defense.
Would be two guns and explain how Alex picked one up and shot.
Fernandez is hitting the expert hard, but maybe a little too hard. Want to be tough on quals and facts, but stay away from the snark and not come across as "mean."
He is doing a very poor job, technically, on this cross. His snark and combativeness isn't helping.
My 17 year-old son just told me that, if I murdered someone, he wouldn't testify on my behalf.
Yep, after only one expert they blew massive holes in timing, theory, just about anything the prosecution was trying.
I just don't have the time to follow a lot of this but had it on in the office this afternoon when I got home. Mike Sutton came off as quite credible and believable.
If the timelines weren't so locked in, it could be interesting. Maggie killed Paul and AM killed Maggie in self defense and/or rage.
