I certainly see that side of the coin as well.
Glad that he will no longer be able to enjoy the life he had grown accustomed to (and stole to maintain).
This is weird but I was thinking he looks more healthy. Maybe he can put the shaking/jittery/addict/famished charade behind him and get back to evil chubby Alec.
Sorry I’m advance to @CUFamily6 who is clearly related to the family in some way.
I said this a while back - I think it’s entirely possible that this was a hit called by Randolph and orchestrated by the family and Alec. The “why’d you have to get involved Paul” plays into this. Murdaugh and Murdaugh legacy trumps everything, even family.
It’s Mafia-like but not a new concept. Yes a TV show, but Adriana had to get whacked in the Sopranos even if Christopher didn’t want it.
I believe Creighton would agree, according to his comments at sentencing.
So did Randolph put the hit out on Ellick too? Just doesn’t make sense to me that someone would hire a hit and then be present for it. Just doesn’t make sense to me.
I understand the system and it is his job to get his client off.
Dang were his feelings hurt by those emails.....why does he waste the state legislature's time with all that.....didn"t he get caught in a lie as well....showing his ego here
Some might say he did not do his job very well in this case. Had heard alot about him but was far from impressed
I bought the book "Murdaugh, She Wrote" by Kathleen McKenna Hewtson to see if it includes the statement "If you don't take care of Paul, I will." It does on page 25. Someone overhead Alex's Dad saying that to Alex.
Issues created by and problem solving from that branch of the Murdaugh lineage is Ozark on steroids.
You are right.

There should never be discussion about being responsible [as one grows up?].
Your idea of a party is clearly labeled and understood by the masses here.
Cocktails, suitable social attire and lavish food are tons of fun.
PARTEEEE! If you're not outdrinking/smoking/snorting everyone.......you're not partying
Oh.
And especially if you broke the law and used a fake idea to buy alcohol underage.
PARTEEEE on kid.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Agreed.

Thanks for posting. I had heard of this and wondered if she had written her own obituary, which I found to be very odd. This makes more sense.
Meh.
There is a middle ground. Comfortable enough in one’s own skin to say “I wouldn’t do that today - but I’m not ashamed of what I did when I was a kid”
You seem to think that admitting flaws is some shocking disclosure of your normality and mortality. Me? Everytine I step on water my feet tops get wet. I’m not ashamed of that
He made some good points that I wholeheartedly agree with regarding how our justice system is designed to work. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty and everyone has the right to counsel who will defend them, but this podium pandering is another lame attempt to save face and reputation in a haw haw (rhymes with Pau Pau) kind of way, in a taxpayer public forum. You got whipped and your ego is hurt, now go take a lap.
However, he came off as a clown during this whole saga, pre trial, during trial, and now somewhat post trial (though there’s still time). The charades about filing motions late on Friday afternoons and then hosting press conferences to bitch; beginning trial with an “I am honored to represent Alex,” trying and failing to get witnesses to crack under pressure, and even in this video saying how he doesn’t always do things so great…your time is up Dick.
In my mind, Randolph was still the Boss. Alec was ready to take over and had been groomed for this role. JM and woodstacking Randy are a part of la familia and simply yes men. Murdaugh and Murdaugh legacy over everything. Perhaps Randolph called it as his days were numbered and every fell in line. Perhaps Alex was supportive or even promoting it for one reason or another, to prove his worth to his daddy or because the pills and paranoia were talking. Maybe it was all Alex or maybe there really was a second shooter. Either way, Mags and Pau Pau were lured there at a specific time for a specific reason.
If you have Amazon Prime, check out the episode of Columbo filmed on The Citadel campus. Season 4 episode 3 I believe.
Alex Murdaugh’s desperate confession likely sentenced him to 700 extra years
Exclusive: Prominent attorney Duncan Levin tells Rachel Sharp that even if Murdaugh’s planned appeal of his murder conviction is successful, he’s still destined to spend his life behind bars

Meaning there were so many LE folks and agencies involved that someone would’ve said something to someone by now. This is all so high profile that it would have come out. Maybe something will at trial. LE retire, get fired, change jobs etc. If something of substance was out there, it would’ve come out by now.

I too still believe it was a mistake to put him on the stand. Jurors will always find it difficult to be sympathetic to habitual, admitted, liars regardless of the crime.
I'm sure folks in the legal/trial/jury world knew what was coming, but the way Alex was dismantled by the prosecuting attorney and forced, step-by-step, to agree to the timeline and important details throughout that night as well as the proceeding 20 years was just fascinating to watch. Effectively admitting his guilt.
Only a true narcissistic sociopath would think they could get away with that.
He failed spectacularly.
"Mr. Murdaugh wishes to take the stand."
I believe those words by Griffin were carefully chosen...as if to say, "This will be an abomination and against all advice offered by his representation, but he wants to do it."
not sure...maybe it is just the newest to me. My wife put it on and I hadn't seen it and thought I'd seen them all. It is the Southern Scandal one. I googled and it looks like it might be the one you are talking about
They're not going to do it, but if I could be a fly on the wall and whisper into the ears of Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, I'd tell them to move on and distance themselves from this Murdaugh business altogether. But that's just me. And I like and respect both gentlemen. I have never met Mr. Griffin but did meet Mr. Harpootlian a couple of times when I lived in Columbia years ago. I've always been impressed with him and when I've had an opportunity to listen to him speak, I've always taken advantage of it.
A DNR agent literally told the mother of another of the kids, that night:
"We don't need to call Mallory's parents. We don't want to bring more confusion to this."
Sorry, but they lose all benefit of the doubt based on that alone.
Combine that with the established fact that Murdaughs were allowed onto the scene and no one else was, and there's no way to rationalize how LE handled things after the accident.
To quote Judge Newman, this family had access to the wheels of justice for a century. It's hard to make the case that the aftermath of the boat wreck was remotely a departure from this established pattern.

yeah that is absolutely unacceptable. I mean Alex was at the hospital with his badge in open site for everyone to see. He was acting as a LE agent himself to find out just what the story was and how he was going to begin the cover up.
And to think: If not for the advent/proliferation of cameras almost none of this would be coming to light.
It'd be all hearsay.
"Alex, did you wear a badge to the hospital?"
"No."
"OK."
"Did you even go to the hospital?"
"No."
"OK."
I agree. I’d also add the the drama and the twists & turns are a better/crazier story line than I have seen in most detective shows.
without smartphones Alex is a free man for murdering his wife and child as well. There would have been no evidence whatsoever.
The critical reason why he took the stand.
I follow this YouTuber who dissects narcissistic personalities. AM is now on the list. First video had no analytical (just saying they are going to dissect AM), but I'll post if future videos do. AM stole millions from many and is many many YouTubers rich. America is on board this true crime Titanic.
