Right but where are they now? That’s the problem the state will have to clear up. Why was Alex the only person who could’ve had access to the guns and what did he do with them?

Yes. I was just responding to the poster that said, how could he be walking around with the guns and Maggie or Paul not see him.
One theory is he put the guns under his father in his coffin. Not sure I believe that, but seems like it would be easy to hide/destroy 2 guns. I put nothing past that man.
How would he do that? Unless he broke into the funeral home in the middle of the night, he would not have unfettered access to the body.
A couple hundred yards behind the moselle house is a huge swamp. would be easy to dump guns there and leave
Yeah, could be an option but I would have thought that LE would have drug and searched that swamp for any evidence
The blue raincoat is the question I have.
Why put it in his mother's house.
So what if it has gun powder residue.
Alex will try it on. It will be too small. "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!" Where have we heard that before?
From being in that area of the state - just because the casings and shells came from a gun type that they own, doesn't mean that there aren't many more of those types in the area.

The shells can be traced back very accurately to if they were shot from the same gun. The firing pin as well as the ejection mark are unique to each and every gun....like fingerprints of a person
More importantly, who was hot brunette in red dress sitting in back of courtroom yesterday
I've been wondering this. What does Buster think? Any chance he thinks his dad did it, likely did it, is capable of doing it or flat out wouldn't, couldn't and didn't? One would think he would have an opinion.
Anyone heard?
So there are other shells that match the ones around the bodies, but still no murder weapons?
I think this is correct. Same gun that fired the shells by the bodies fired the shells beside the main house and a local firing range. But the gun that fired them is missing.
Defense attorney is coming across as unlikeable, the incompetence with the technology is not helping the defense. I am trying to be very objective watching this as if I were a juror. Little things like this could overall sway a juror's conclusion about his guilt/innocence.
Investigators botched that crime scene or at the very least failed to keep it pristine, and then immediately told the public there was no further threat to the public. Talk about a screw up. Yikes...
However, Poot comes across as boring and a jury may struggle with him.

I agree with most of this. My question is this though, if the Murdaugh's have been screwing people for generations, seems like it would be tough to get even 1 juror to hold out.
I won't be surprised if the verdict is not guilty, or whatever. If he doesn't go to prison, I will be surprised if he has not been found dead soon thereafter.
The thing that is so odd about the raincoat is that the gunshot residue was found on the inside of the coat. The insinuation is that Alex wrapped the guns up with the raincoat and put them in his car when he left. He then disposed of the guns sometime during the hour he was gone. I think it also possible he stashed the guns at his parents house while he was gone and then went back over the next few days and got rid of them before that house was searched. No idea why he stashed the raincoat back at his mothers house
Seems like if he is logical enough to get rid of the guns, then he would have gotten rid of the garment that it was wrapped in. This tells me that the coat wasn't used to wrap the guns and he didn't know it had blood on it.
That's not necessarily true. If I don't use my phone and it goes into lock in my pocket or purse, or jacket, or where ever and I could get shot an hour later.
The argument is that Paul was in the middle of a Snapchat conversation (back and forth) and that Maggie was a frequent phone user, but both of their phones went cold within one minute of each other. That's a pretty solid case that something happened at that time to stop their phone use at 8:49 PM.
No you dont. As mentioned earlier, the science says every gun manufactured has its own fingerprint that is imprinted on casings. If you have two separate casings you can compare them to each other to show that the casings were fired from the same gun. You dont need the gun to compare the casings.
Maybe, but what other reasons is there for a bunch of gunshot residue on the inside of a rain coat? I agree that it isn't very smart, but he could just be that stupid. Also supposedly the video that was taken of them right before the shooting, shows Alex in different pants etc than what he was wearing when he showed back up and "found" the bodies. Those clothes have disappeared and never been found
Maggie Fox is the one on Alex's team. You can look her up on Facebook.
I might just not have payed attention in other cases but is it normal for the defense and state prosecutor to be chatting it up and laughing with each other during recess?
not uncommon, especially since both live, work and play in the Columbia area
So the clothes he was wearing and the guns have dissappeared. Then why wouldn't the rain coat that was allegedly with him also trashed?
I haven't seen the video - was he wearing the raincoat at any point? Was the raincoat in his car the day of the killings?
My guess is maybe the coat was either laying in the car or in a place that he was near during or after the killings. Maybe it was laying in a manner that it was "open" and blood residue dropped or got on the coat and Alex didn't realize it.
Gotcha. I had no idea and was just curious. Thanks for not being a dick haha
These lawyers are just like pro wrasslers. They fight like cats & dogs when the camera's rolling then ride to the next venue together. Probably dine & drink together as well.
Not unlike the circus in Washington DC.
I get what you are saying and no clue in this situation but some of the big firms that go head to head regularly in big cases sincerely hate one another
I will say that after the opening statements, if I was a juror, Dick Harpootlian succeeded in making me make sure I viewed AM as innocent as he sits - awaiting proof otherwise.
He’s good.
He’s good.
