The judge didn’t warn him. He was chewing on his finger nail and folks made something sinister out of it. It was during Mark Tinsley’s testimony.
⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️

Dang, you know Randy is having a hard time reconciling everything he thought he knew with what has been shown to happen. I’d imagine much of the family is just as conflicted. Definitely was telling that he wasn’t at the trial as often as John Marvin or Buster.
Interesting. So basically he spent more time trying to find the killers than Alex did which confirms what most have thought during this trial. It’s damning.
Also, it shows that you can’t lump all of the Murdaughs with a broad brush.
Shut the Fyck Up Earl
I don’t sense that he has that Alpha in him that AM and Paul did
each kid is different but he seems lost and not headed for prime time
Some people are just bad people. Randy seems like a hard working straight shooter.
Hope he wasn't involved with anything still lingering and finds his way forward. I cannot imagine being him. I would never put my son in that position....and I would never be in jail for murdering my spouse and other son either.
Hope he is a faith-based because now is the time to lean on God.
one thing blatantly missing from the trial - ANY mention of faith or church attendance
not being righteous but there was a glaring lack of faith for a southern family story
Have we ever seen Buster and this guy at the same time? I’m just saying, this should be investigated.
I noticed that too. Having a belief in a higher power would have changed the landscape of this family I suspect.
It’s quite possibly the only souther stereotype this family didn’t fulfill.
judge has all 99 of the financial cases ...at least that is what he said when sentencing Alex.....would not be surprised to see Poot try to get a different judge assigned to those
Newman obviously agreed with the verdict.....and he has Alex balls in his hands so to speak so he can guarantee Alex stays in jail forever if an appeal works.
Don't forget Buster is next! The Steven Smith trial case has been reopened and that should be good for at least 1-2 hundred thousand posts.
Do not think the Satterfield case is a huge priority from a financial angle. Bland has stated many times he has already recovered 7.5 million for his clients(minus his cut) from parties involved). Now the sentencing for it could be important not to mention possible murder charges ( but do not see how they can get evidence this long after the death).
Randy does an interview in front of a wood pile, and now he's a hard working straight shooter. I'm convinced, too.
Would be interesting to know if he'd have come out like this in the event of Alex's acquittal.
I'm skeptical of the entire family. Maybe that's not fair.
Pretty harsh statement...I think there is plenty in that article to show he is opposite of Alex . Families have single black sheep guess he is the white sheep of the family . Think John Marvin is somewhere in-between
Probably would not be interviewing him if verdict was not guilty but I think he would still feel Alex did not tell the truth and the financial crimes are still there. I believe he would continue to basically not have anything to do with him because of all the lies.
Interestingly, on the 20/20 show that aired a few days ago Randy sat with John Marvin and looked into the camera unequivocally saying there's no way Alex did it.
I think this particular interview was from a while back, but still.
Probably the most important Southern gift in the Bible Belt - God.
Another really interesting passage from the NYT article:
Randy’s complicated view of the case, which he shared in a two-hour conversation on Sunday as he stacked wood at his hunting property outside the town of Hampton, was at odds with the definitive pronouncement that one of Alex Murdaugh’s lawyers made on Friday about the Murdaugh family.
“After six weeks of trial, they came away more convinced that he did not do this, and they are steadfastly in his camp and support him,” the lawyer, Jim Griffin, said at a news conference after Alex was sentenced to two life prison terms.
Alex Murdaugh’s younger brother, John Marvin Murdaugh, and surviving son, Buster Murdaugh, both testified for the defense at trial, saying that he had seemed devastated after the murders. Randy Murdaugh, who emphasized that he was speaking for himself and not any of his relatives, was not called to testify. He thinks it is possible no one put him on the stand because he did not align perfectly with either side.
Going to be fascinating to see if John Marvin and Buster choose to let Griffin's account ride. Because the idea that both of them are now "more convinced" in the innocence of a convicted double-murderer is not a good thing for a reputation ... or a conscience.

That was from the summer or fall after the murder, I believe.
I think so, too. If so it was prior to Paul's phone being unlocked, when Alex still maintained that he wasn't at the crime scene with the victims within minutes of their slaughter.
pretty impressive 22 year old young man. He must have hung around the football team and was Dabo trained haha
Right? The family business was creating a good ole boy system of manipulation and crossing lines aka cheating the system.
Seems to me if your last name was Murdaugh and you were a lawyer in Hampton County that you would have to take his stance, at least publicly, if you wanted to continue your career. Not saying he is lying, but i also think he is not naive about the public perception.
The interview was from June 17, 2021, two weeks after the murder, before the "attempted suicide" and before the financial crimes and the drug addiction and the kinnel video came to light.
I keep hearing about how good a guy John Marvin is, but I put myself in the shoes of the parents of the deceased girl who are still trying to reconcile how in the hell he was the person to tow away the evidence the morning after the accident.
I am not basing my opinion of Randy on a single article. If you are, then that's OK.
Randy has financial incentive to distance himself from Alex. John Marvin, not so much.
In addition, it's now convenient for him to distance himself from Alex. Before the verdict, not so much.
