⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️

[BABTiger10]

I sat next to Dick Harpootlian at breakfast this morning. Overheard him say Alex is guilty and is preparing for him to be arrested for murder soon.

J/k I couldn’t hear anything he said. My hangover hashbrowns were excellent tho

 

[MojitoJoe]

Wow! Where did you hear that tidbit of intel?

I think it was in 1983 and the dead guy had a high blood alcohol level.

If you really want down the rabbit hole...go to the reddit page. It sucked me in for an hour last night reading about the drug running and such.

Great article from WSJ: https://archive.is/G3kS1#selection-1137.0-1140.0

Mandy Matney has absolutely crushed this story via her podcast. She has been investigating this family for a few years. Nobody has the connections and timeline down like she does. She works for FitsNews which I know is not a popular media outlet but Mandy is really great with this stuff!

New video. Interesting alternative take on the boat crash.

Very interesting. Anyone obsessed like me needs to watch this. Watch the whole thing, it takes a turn..

I’m with you. Completely obsessed. And I watched that whole thing and am really surprised with his take.

 

[OakCrest11]

Bet Buster's "normal" is waaaaayyyy different from ours.

Idk I bet he looks at shirtless teenagers online just like us

What's his take? Can't get the video to play...

It’s an alternative theory on the events in archers creek. He presents conflicting info on who was driving the boat.

 

[MBTiger23]

I've heard AMs drug ring leader reached out here to discuss immunity. Could get interesting tomorrow.

I found his take unconvincing. It's a good defense attorney's argument for getting to reasonable doubt about Paul driving, but this isn't a court of law.

Set my alarm for this but all I saw was talk about Brittney's conservatorship.

Cliffs on the video?

 

[Chefkdh]

Cliffs on the video?

Basically the witness testimonies don’t matchup and one was changed the next day. It also shows that Conner Cook being told to “shut his mouth” was taken out of context and could have actually been meant to save his own ass if he was the one driving

I don’t know anything about him but this article says Keel will likely be asked to step down

STATE SOURCES: FBI INVESTIGATING SLED. KEEL LIKELY TO STEP DOWN MyrtleBeachSC News

Sources inside the State House confirmed yesterday that the FBI has been called in to investigate SLED. Mark Keel to step down.

Amazing how obsessed people get in this country with crimes against crackers.

That's breaking news...can't find confirmation anywhere

 

[CLEMSON96JDH]

So they’re asking Keel to resign from SLED or to withdraw himself From the Murdaugh investigations?

Good question.
I read it as resigning from SLED, but it’s not clear.

 

[Cu1998]

Surprising about Keel. Only heard good things about him. But if 1/4 of the rumored shenanigans are true I am sure every top legal person in the state will be looking for a fall guy.

 

[sloanMB]

Enough about coaching changes and offense ineptitude.

where’s Alex, what’s Poot’s next statement going to be about, and what’s the latest with SLED?

 

[Tigerpaw00]

Agreed. It’s a great distraction from the horror of the football season so far.

Unless it is complaining about the MB City Council, I wouldn't put too much stock into this site....

It's really amazing how people get obsessed with black folks who end up dead after fighting with police.

The almost twice as many caucasions killed by police every year gets completely ignored. Just crazy. 🤷‍♂️

Fox News special Sunday night about Murdaugh Murders included tidbit that Randy Murdaugh was the 2nd call that Stephen Smith's family received after Smith's body was found. (The first call was from the coroner.) Randy Murdaugh offered to represent the family for free, which the Smith family found odd. Additionally, Randy was on scene before the body was removed.

We can only speculate why Randy Murdaugh inserted himself into the Smith situation. Was this (1) traditional ambulance chasing by an attorney, (2) potential involvement of his family member that needed redirection either at the scene or with a potential litigant (a la Gloria Satterfield), or (3) [fill in the blank].

From the AP this morning...

In Murdaugh family scandal, tiny South Carolina town shaken

HAMPTON, S.C. (AP) — Ask any of the 2,600 residents in this South Carolina town whether they know Alex Murdaugh, and you’ll probably get a quick nod.

The plot thickens a lot with this news.

 

[tigerjimp]

The plot thickens a lot with this news.

Yep, Alex's potential motive appears to be pretty clear:

Stop any financial investigation that would uncover his embezzling by eliminating the divorce and boat accident case, not to mention the insurance windfall from his wife's policy.

Now they have to be able to prove it.

Randy deserves a cell right beside Elec. the family has made a mockery of the constitution for long enough!

hope the Saterfield, Beach and Smith family’s end up owning Moselle.

I hold steady on the grandfather orchestrating it the whole time. He knew he would be dead and gone by the time he got caught so no big deal. And he could have "protected" his sons from ruin by eliminating Maggie and Paul.

An interesting angle, but do you think Alex would have told his father about the embezzlement? Can't see him killing Maggie just over the divorce. Maybe his grandson for the string of deaths, but even that seems a stretch.

But who knows...

I just hope that they solve the case one way or another and it just doesn't hang out there and get cold. With all of the focus and attention, you would think that is has to get solved. My guess is that things may quiet down until November when court proceedings start again. Eddie's proceedings are going to be very interesting. I'm still not buying Alex calling 911 over a failed staged suicide attempt.
