offered it and none wanted to make one

Harpootlian just said they will be filing an appeal in 10 days.
I see no lies. I respect and agree with this take.I sound ridiculous by respecting the systems we have? When the verdict came out I said justice was served. A jury of his peers found him guilty in just over an hour. They didn’t doubt. They were sure.
I also believe the death penalty should be something we use much more often than we do. The tax payer.good citizen should not have to pay for someone to live who takes the life of others willingly.
Neither of those two paragraphs have any weight or bearing with what I thought the case presented and how I would have acted as a juror. You have to be able to step outside of a little box and see the whole picture.
Maggie Fox. Works at Griffin's firm, I believeWho is the blonde chick on the defense team?
Standing to the left of the podium/right of the screen during the press conference of the defense team…..
I wonder if Griffin’s tweet of that article criticizing the investigation, for which he was then reprimanded by the judge, was some attempt to get kicked off the case or have his role reduced. Don’t know if that’s even a thing, but Griffin was definitely becoming detached the last couple of weeks.Watched the verdict live at a bar / restaurant in Hampton County and there were cheers when they said GUILTY. Had to be a big kick to the nuts for Griffin and Harpootlian to have the jury decide that quickly. I don't think they are bad lawyers as much as they took on a bad case. Like others have said, I think even his lawyers thought he did it by the end of the trial.
And that is precisely why this glorious thread will remain atop this board for the foreseeable future.He is standing strong and gonna fight hard against this botched crime scene bull shit argument all the way to supreme court

I would tell Alec to find a different lawyer if I was Griffin or Harpootlian.notice in 10 days he said, then 30 to file and then that will take months I think I heard and that they'll take it all the way to Federal Supreme Court if needed
And that is precisely why this glorious thread will remain atop this board for the foreseeable future.

He was there but is that where others wanted him to be? I mean, his grandfather was dying so shouldn’t he come to be there with the family?he was at his girlfriend's house in Rock Hill
I know he used to work at Buffalo Wild Wings in Rock Hill - before the trial.Did I hear correctly that Buster works at Applebees? If so, which one?

Consider me a fan of Judge Newman. He was tough, but fair, throughout the trial. Kept the proceedings moving along. And, contrary to the facts of this case, reflected positively on our state. I hope that he enjoys as many productive years on the bench.Judge Newman's son died in January. I cannot imagine that he is going to have any kind words for a family annihilator, Alex Murdaugh, this morning.
Here is a clip of Judge Newman at sentencing of the Uber driver murderer a few years ago. Perhaps a preview of today's sentencing, even.
I suspect he won't go easy on AM.
Unfortunately, $$$ is always going to buy privilege. There is no way to keep out all bad actors out of any profession or group of people. It can be argued that many people's socioeconomic status is at least in part of their own choosing. Even so, socioeconomic status is far and away the most negative influencing factor that exits in almost any society.Agree. I don’t mind him thanking the local, state, and federal agencies that participated. But he went over the top with sled. That wasn’t their A game by a long shot.
I wish he would spoken more the failures in the justice system that allowed AM, his accomplices, and even his children to believe they were above the law for so long and in the future actually follow through with ensuring that from top to bottom that our state will be fair to all citizens who come in contact with the justice system regardless of family connections or socioeconomic status.
If something does happen to him, does his life insurance policy still pay out? I assume so unless (unless he instigated something in prison and dies as a result of that).but without that lifestyle and without his luxurious pill poppin life, is he himself? Can he deal with the demons without the opioids?
Maybe he can...
Ted Bundy was reportedly well liked by most of the people he knew(that he did not kill).There were many people during this trial who spoke very fondly of Paul, It was a side of Paul that you have to assume was genuine and existed. To me it even sounded like Jim Griffen, Crosby, Ball etc. had a better friendship with Paul than they did with Alex.
Marian Procter was adamant that Paul was not who was portrayed in the media. It is hard to square that with what happened in the boat case and the other innuendo about Gloria and the Smith kid.
The Netflix Documentary is not favorable to Paul in the least and paints a picture of a monster. It is definitely hard to square all of those things.
So you've gone from, "There's not enough evidence to convict" to "Hang'm from the highest tree." ?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.
Might be tough. There are only so many ginger actors in Hollywood.

Garry Busey as AlexSo who plays Alex in the movie?
Who plays PawPaw, Buster, Maggie, etc?
Does the person buying Moselle rent it to Hollywood to film the movie? This are the next things we need to know
I don't plan on committing any double murders any time soon so its not a real issue for me. But its also a bit frightening from a privacy/big brother standpoint that your car can "testify" against you. At some point we have to be wary of being ruled by technology and devices.
Caught on video, thats your own dang problem!
Judge is talking to much IMO......guess it is because he knows him and feels sorry for him
Did I hear correctly in the video that Alex admitted it was him?
We've all known "that guy." The guy who is real nice. A good friend. Then he gets a few drinks in him and he's the biggest asshole in the world. Some people are mellow drunks. Some are happy drunks. Some are just jerks. My best friend from El Cid was/is that way. I steer clear of him when he's drinking.There were many people during this trial who spoke very fondly of Paul, It was a side of Paul that you have to assume was genuine and existed.

Bill Gibbons, The Ledger Editor. That's who Martin wrote his letters to.I was born in Gaffney in 1968 moved to Columbia in 73. My Mom remembers it vividly. There was a local reporter that wrote a book about it.

Buster wasn't the one being sued for the boat crash that was going to expose AlexRight but did Alex contact him to get him to go to the kennels like his did maggie and Paul?
I thought he was named because he gave Paul his ID that was used to buy the beer. I think Buster is more at fault than ParkersBuster wasn't the one being sued for the boat crash that was going to expose Alex
