⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️

[CU_Sugarman]

It should pay out regardless of any actions on his part.

His policy must remain inforce (premiums paid) for it to remain active.

"When will the lying stop"

"The last look in their eyes"

Judge Newman was perfection today! I hope they televise the financial trials.

Mingling with the lesser classes, eating prison food, wearing prison clothes, following someone else's schedule your daily routine, no more hunting seasons, no more walks along Edisto Beach....

AND FOREVER nightmares about the "before" faces of his wife Maggie and son Paul and the "after" destruction of the heads of those family....but to AM likely more important is the disgrace to HIS name and reputation.

Yep, I'm in for him to ruminate in his criminal stew on Earth. I believe in salvation so perhaps he can reconcile his soul with God, but if not, I'm in for him to spend eternity where God sends him.

AM missed his chance to die when he elected to kill his family. He made the wrong choice.

Add to that he’ll constantly replay the words his own attorneys decided to use as a strategy throughout the trial - repeatedly describe this in such a vulgar way that of course it couldnt have been him.

Harpootlian just said they will be filing an appeal in 10 days.

Ok cool, hang ‘em

Of course

 

[sloanMB]

And that is precisely why this glorious thread will remain atop this board for the foreseeable future.

I mentioned about 43 pages ago that this pic is the perfect avatar for someone. Likely @CU1TruTiger4Life or the newly invested @Larry_Williams

Who 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…..

No victim statements.

If Buster and John Marvin truly believe Alex, then surely their next step is commencing the manhunt for the real killers right?

One would surely think, and we might see some kind of half hearted public relations releases about such but I rly don't believe either of those fellows. Guess we'll see.

Harpootlian just said they will be filing an appeal in 10 days.

the rules require that you only have 10 days to file a notice of appeal - its just "hey we plan to appeal"

they will do a transcript of the entire trial - and then initial appeal brief is written

 

[tigerbean]

Come on man that was on page 78. How did you miss it?

LDub - it was because they were untouchable - until yesterday when the jury spoke

 

[touchdownbob]

Where did Eddie get them from? Those are prescription pills correct?

I was thinking the same think. The number of pills being mentioned would set off red flags, unless they were counterfeit

 

[tallulahtiger30319]

How many are surprised by what seems to be the reaction of Maggie's family and even Alex's family. No one from Maggie's side spoke at the sentencing. Do they really think Alex didn't do it or just don't want to talk about it. Is Buster & John Marvin totally blinded to the evidence and believe Alex didn't do it or at least have strong suspicion about it

Maggies family has known for months w/ no doubt in their minds. Fact.

I don't think he owes to anyone to speak out if he chooses not to. How he handles things going forward and what he truly believes after the trial are completely up to him. John has a lot of good friends and is very involved with his immediate family that I would be very surprised if he decided to put himself in the spotlight again.

I think it does say something that he nor Buster spoke on behalf of Alex. In John Marvin's testimony he spoke to the series of events as they happened to the best of his knowledge. I don't think he helped Alex when testified that Alex appeared to have showered, which is part of the prosecution's theory of how Alex had no blood on him when police arrived.

As I said before, John Marvin may be loyal to a fault in that he does not want to believe his brother would do this. But just because he does not organize a manhunt with no investigative resources to do so, should not imply that he still believes his brother is innocent or mean he has questionable character.

John Marvin has questionable character. He towed Alex's boat from scene very quickly after the accident, because his DNR buddies allowed him to. He was complicit in the attempted cover up.

 

[Clemblack]

Was that interaction caught on one of the cameras today?

No.

 

[yemassee]

Maggies family has known for months w/ no doubt in their minds. Fact.

This.

 

[sloanMB]

When does John Marvin recuse himself as being in charge of Maggie’s estate.

I respect the Proctor family for their decision to remain out of the spotlight, but surely there’s got to be some things going on behind the scenes.

I miss the old thread title

Yup!

 

[tallulahtiger30319]

Then the prosecution needs to remind the jury of Susan Smith.

And countless other Family Annihilators. I can't understand refusing to believe a parent can murder their child. Of course they can. Disturbing, but def possible.

 

[ruckusman]

It really sort of goes to show that even when a case can be utterly complicated, sometimes the most revealing and pivotal things can be the most basic and easy to understand/diagnose.

Kind of like continuing to run the ball against your rival when you’ve had success with it all day, no? Haha!

I'm not questioning any of that.

But I don't think it's about whose "job" it is to find the real killers (once again, assuming John Marvin/Buster still believe Alex didn't do it).

If any human is in their shoes and authentically believes that, then you're spending every waking hour trying to find out who murdered your sister-in-law and nephew.

If John Marvin and Buster do not authentically believe that, then given their testimony the right thing to do is to publicly say they were duped.

If neither of these happen, it's hard for me to jump on board with the idea that these are great people. I'm sorry, it just doesn't compute.

The dudes lost their mom/brother and now father

And you feel like the public is owed something from them?

Fah-hunnit thousand!

500K is quite a feat

 

[tigerfs]

Can we get to 600K?

Maggies family has known for months w/ no doubt in their minds. Fact.

Do you know them?

 

[acmnni1]

Buster is probably trying to lay as low as possible hoping SLED doesn't come knocking on his door asking about Stephen Smith.

 

[Every name taken]

That's how Richard Kimble handled things.

I don’t care

I’d like a list of the top 5 posters in the thread. They should take a bow for keeping this going, even in the dark days of being relegated to the lower forum.

 

[scullman]

Admittedly, I didn't have a chance to watch much of the trial. Did the prosecution ever say how they thought the murders/shootings actually went down? Did the victims see it coming, or were they caught by surprise?

Can anyone summarize? Thanks.

 

[Cris_Ard]

Can we get to 600K?

You bet!

 

[cemtiger]

Thinking back through the trial...

Dr. Kenneth Kinsey was a ringer for the prosecution. On top of his vast, vast experience and credentials...he was likable, detailed, and always to the point. He communicated in a way that the "average Joe" could easily understand. I was impressed with him and his testimony. He was a home run.

“Kenny” Kinsey was one of my roommates at Clemson. He was a football trainer when I was a manager. I was flipping through a few nights ago and saw him. Had no idea that’s what he was doing now. I knew that he always wanted to get into law enforcement. Great dude.

I have officially had my quote system up all day and on quote #2. I'm gonna have weekend work

I've been reading this thread since lunch and still have2 pages to go.

I've been reading this thread since lunch and still have2 pages to go.

It’s a chore to keep up with this one. I really hope they look into Stephen’s murder even if the murdaughs were not involved. Also, I think finding the money would potentially add another layer to this saga.

 

[TooterTownTiger]

I think it's actually #7071.

Mr. Waters, if you say it’s #7071 and have the documentation that says it is, I’m not gonna dispute that with you. I was napping between #7057 and #7081. I have no recollection of #7071.
