⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️
- Thread starter OldMTPTiger
- Start date
Alex and PeeWee were the most evil . Smith was a moment of insanity
on the stand he admitted it was his voice at the kennel
Doing my best to help.....has been a GREAT threadI look forward to seeing this thread reach another milestone later today ...
It’s really frustrating to me that if he’s as clearly guilty as the jury found him. Just over an hour to convict. We should be able to go back and get the death penalty.
Seems like that should be something that could be argued now with that jury that had such conviction of his guilt.
I think in any case for people like Alex, it is likely a case of both nature and nurture. His brain was wired with the ability to not care about right/wrong. For some with this problem, nurture and societal norms override/manage their behavior. With Alex, his family's status and lifestyle did the opposite and kicked those base emotions into high gear. His life early on allowed his mind to confirm whatever he did was okay bc there were never any negative consequences to this actions- the opposite in fact.
It appears his son was from the same mold and well on his way to continuing his father's (terrible) legacy.
I think he will find a way to kill himself
That sucks. We have to pay for him to live for the rest of his life. He should be taken out like he took his son out.
Yea and looks like he is gonna be Alex's personal judge. Said he is assigned al 99 other cases involving Alex . Also said they were gonna get to them and prioritize them (paraphrased)
I think he knew exactly what he was doing. Exactly.

WHY would you give him the easy way out???
Impossible now anyway

Probably, but either way we are still paying for him to be alive until he does.
Consecutive life sentences is not what someone deserves for doing what was done.
Death, immediate death, is the only proper punishment.
AM deserves it, but it would be difficult based solely on circumstantial evidence. If they had something else, I'm absolutely sure they would've proceeded with a DP case.
Life in prison is the easy way out. Shooting him with 4-5 rounds of 300 blackout and two shot gun shells, the last of which puts his brain on a ceiling, seems like the harder way to go out if you ask me.
This is my point. If a circumstantial case can be decided in 75 minutes, death penalty would have been easy.
I understand that extra evidence arrived during the trial and I’m saying that they should be able to go back now and argue for death penalty.
In general, it is an issue that governments have unlimited resources when trying cases vs an average citizen. Not saying that AM is an average citizen, and I'm happy that the psychopath ginger is going away for life, just saying in general.
Wow Judge Newman is incredible. Would love to sit down and pick his brain not just about legal matters but life in general
It was very much as you said. What’s crazier is buster nor his uncle showed any either. I’m fact JM chuckled a little with a police officer.
Serial Killer, Lee Roy Martin, “The Gaffney Strangler”. In 67 and 68, he strangled and raped 2 women and 2 girls. There was a trial for the first victim, and her husband was wrongly convicted of murder and was in prison when Lee Roy Martin was finally caught. Martin had a wife and 3 children. He sent letters to the Gaffney Ledger celebrating his kills and taunting the local police and SLED.
I was in Gaffney High School, and the whole town was practically on lockdown mode until he was caught. He was stabbed and killed in Prison in 1972.
There are some very interesting articles on this killer, his victims, on how he eluded the police, and on how he was ultimately captured. Henry Transou, a local golf pro played a pivotal role in breaking the case.

Probably run the risk of a jury not being as inclined to vote guilty on the death penalty vs a prison sentence...
This is similar to when I was foreman on a gang murder trial in Charlotte 10 years ago. We took an initial vote, and 2 people, in my opinion, had an unrealistic understanding of reasonable doubt. We took an hour discussing the evidence, and how there is no other rational explanation other than guilty, and they came around in an hour. Putting somebody away for life can be difficult unless you are 110% certain, but you're never 110% certain unless you see them on video doing it.
I understand that. I also understand it was politically motivated cause a guilt verdict but then a no on death penalty doesn’t play as good as just the guilty verdict does today.
If he can be found guilty in an hour after a 6 week trial, the state should absolutely have gone for the death penalty.
think I heard that they thought because they knew it would be a circumstantial trial with a father/husband killing son/wife that they would have a better chance with a guilty verdict if death was not on the table
He will never kill himself.
If there existed even an ounce of tendency for him to do that, he'd have taken his own life instead of murdering his family.
maybe you are right but he loved his lifestyle so much I could see him doing it
Judge Newman gave him two … TWO … opportunities to come clean. Liar to the end.
It also sounds like … “reading between the lines” … that if the Death Penalty was on the table, Judge would’ve given it too him x 2

As high profile as he is, and considering his background??? I’m willing to bet that if he does commit suicide, he will be violently suicided once he gets to prison
But this is hindsight. The state doesn't know ahead of time that deliberations are only going to take 45 minutes.
In criminal cases where a conflict arises from the circuit solicitor, typically those cases are either taken on by the AG's office or assigned to another circuit solicitor. This case should have been conflicted out from the very beginning, and Mr. Stone will have to answer as to why that didnt happen.
I agree...but just remember the thing Elleck loves more than anything is HIMSELF...if nothing changes, he loves himself way too much to end himself.
Well, you have to think, he’s a mockery to the very system the judge represents. It would be like being a cop and having your partner, who took the same oathes you did to protect the badge, stealing and killing in the name of the law.
And I agree with @Clemblack , he’s a narcissist and a narcissist like Alex will never off themself.
