He was already denied bail for the financial crimes. Even if he’s innocent he’s going back to jail until $$ crimes.
My hunch is Waters knew they were going to recess soon and didn’t want to get cut off while they were getting into the murders. Saving that for tomorrow when he has plenty of time to grill him on it.
Poot trying to get a few long winded boring defense witnesses on the stand right in the middle of the prosecutors cross.
Cites the tremendous cost associated with having to put them up in the Hampton Inn over the weekend.
Outstanding.

Poot trying to interrupt cross examination. Judge says no.
I doubt AM regrets it. Clearly he believes himself and so do some on this thread. He only needs ONE doubting juror and I think he'll be get that.
What happened to the good ol days when disgraced lawyers shot themselves?
I was in Walterboro today for a Dr appt and decided to check out the courthouse area. Bunch of news trucks - 15 to 20 at least. A bunch of crews on the street near the CH but a pretty quiet scene in spite of today's significance. Didn't see the 1st food truck/trailer. Disappointed my wife b/c she wanted a funnel cake. And we were there right around noon.
Also rode by Moselle on the way home. Nothing to see there.
The locals are ready to get back to normal.
Highlight was Duke's BAR-B-QUE.

Maybe so and I hope so, I felt like he wasn’t helping their case. All those jurors are probably tired of all the $$$ talk and he already admitted under oath he committed all financial crimes. They want this trial to move forward so they can get back to their lives. Hopefully he’ll come out throwing bombs at him about the murder straight out the gate.
Have no doubt there is someone on the jury that believes his bullshit. There are still people in this thread that don’t believe a man could shoot his wife and child even though it’s happened countless times before. The crime scene sounds like it was a disaster and the prosecution hasn’t been perfect, but it’s pretty obvious the man did it. Either him or a 5’2” leprechaun that didn’t leave a trace.
Prosecutors didn’t want to ask any questions about murders until they could go over all his responses to defense questioning this morning. They’ll try to tear all that apart after reviewing all night.
100%. Review his testimony and come out firing tomorrow
One thing is for sure, AM was an absolute financial predator.
The elderly, minors, disabled.....AM sought those types of clients and stole from them all.

I hope y’all are proud of yourselves…
After not following this case at all, I watched the Netflix documentary last night.
Then, wasted the better part of my afternoon reading 124 pages of interesting posts.
What an enjoyable waste of corporate time and money. 🙂

Mexican Banditos are really short! Right in that 5'2" range.
Yeah I thought he was making a good point on the financial stuff but the point was made and he just kept going and kept going when it was clear Alex was just gonna keep giving the same canned answer. I think he could have mentioned the quadriplegic and the 2 girls whose mother died and made the point that Alex lied to and stole from these people who are really sympathetic and then moved on.
He’s gotta get into the meat of it early. I bet defense attys work with Alex tonight on not talking so much. Every time Waters paused Alex just felt like he had to fill the silence and started jabbering. Gotta nip that in the bud If you’re the defense.
It’s funny you say about jabbering, I was wondering on one hand “give him enough rope” and let him talk? On the other side I was wondering if Waters wouldn’t want to stop that and not let him control the narrative. When you give a Professional bull$h!ter enough time he just may make sense after listening to it long enough. Then again he may let something slip
Trial lawyer expert on WIS News said that once a defendant starts testifying, his lawyers CANNOT coach or instruct him on what to say or prepare him for what might be asked.
Not sure how often lawyers try to do that, but the expert was emphatic that it is not allowed. I don't know if that would get them disbarred. Since Alex is in jail, his lawyers may not even be able to see him until in court tomorrow moring.
Pootlian is trying everything he can, even finding 2 random experts magically in the middle of the prosecution’s cross examination. Wouldn’t put anything past that guy.
Thought the defense did a good job establishing that AM has no problem lying when it benefits AM.
I'd think one of the big points of the prosecution's discussion tomorrow is this:
There was nothing good that could've come from an innocent AM repeatedly lying to investigators and AM (of all people) knew that. I'd think they'll challenge that he lied to investigators to benefit himself as cover-up, and that he's lying on the stand again to benefit himself.
I'd also think they challenge his paranoia claim by trying to establish that a truly paranoid person wouldn't have continued to commit financial crime after financial crime.

Well...I did too. And it only ever lit up if it was turned over when it started facing down.
If it was facing up and I lifted it up, it stayed dark. Facing down and lifted it up without turning over, stayed dark. Facing up and turned down, stayed dark.
Only time it lit up was when it started facing down and I picked it up and turned it over.
What you described is purely anecdotal evidence...I have anecdotal evidence that contradicts yours. Now what?
The beginning of this video
Part Two: Analysis with attorney Carl B. Grant on Alex Murdaugh's testimony during day 23 of trial

Hate to admit, but AM has done one heckuva convincing job on the stand. Heck, he's got me fooled.
All the snot running down his face play a role? Somebody give that guy a handkerchief.
Made up ground big time. Very believable
Just realized that skinny Alec Murdaugh looks like Steve Spurrier if he were a soulless ginger. Kind of sounds like him too.
You did not waste your time. You invested it in a true life Ozark saga. Please understand that the crimes go well beyond the current trial.
I don't understand how anyone believes a word he says. He's a very good liar. You could even call him a professional liar. It doesn't phase him a bit.
Those are called lawyers.
Surely, you’re joking? I can’t recall, I dont dispute that. If thats what the record shows.
not just same ammo---- matched to other shell casings on the property (i.e., one of their guns that is now missing)
Yeah he gave vague, non-committal answers on most questions.
If you are paranoid - lawyer up!
He didn't and he's a lawyer.
The video that he didn't know about is his Waterloo.
