There will be multiple hold outs. The state does not have a good enough case, to many holes.
⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️
- Thread starter OldMTPTiger

I was wondering who that was as he looks like a stereotypical southern gentleman straight from "Chaarrl-stn".
Yeah I was just saying what he looks like. Just a random thought unrelated to the case.
There could be video of him with blood on his hands and cleaning the gun and I believe at least one local would hold out. Too many generational relationships where a lot of people are part of tangled webs with the Murdaughs (not related to this crime, rather have benefitted somehow in the past, know somebody, scared, etc.)
Meh, who would stick their neck out for this guy now? At least, who would want to do it AND actually be a juror in this trial? This guy is done. His partners have turned their backs on him, he has no money or will soon have no money as the civil cases continue. He might get off because of the weakness of the case against him, but I don't think anyone would worry about what would happen to them at this point. Besides, if a juror had a relationship somehow with him, it would come out if it hadn't already. JMO.

I'm totally opposite. He was there right before the murders, left and came back an hour later in different clothes. That tells me he did it, or at least watched it happen. Same for my wife when I explained it all to her last night.

He did it but will they be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt.
Maybe he gets off and he and OJ can team up to really find the perps

FWIW I was speaking Joe McCulloch on Christmas Eve and it was his opinion that Murdaugh would walk because there isn’t enough evidence to overcome reasonable doubt.
You really think the other brothers are going to have 12 jurors (plus 6 alternates) killed or f-ed with? I mean Alex won't ever see the outside of a prison regardless of outcome of this case so why bother?
establishing an alibi, to make it look like he had no idea they were both dead down by the kennel
Wow so he is running up billable hours by attending the trial
Wasn't Cook's proposed cut of the momma's estate $100,000 . That will be eaten up quickly

I feel like you guys are wanting someone to come out with a picture of the dude standing over the bodies with a rifle in order to meet the "beyond a reasonable doubt".
Evidence puts him at the crime when it happened while he stated he was with his dad at the time.
He's proven that he is unhinged, and for those that think a gruesome crime scene is beyond his nature needs to listen to the podcast of what he used to do to his hooker (but trust me, its disturbing).

Lots of Monday morning QBing here and there’s still 8 minutes left in the first quarter….
I hear ya, but keep in mind, Alex is fvcked regardless. He's not walking away from ALL of this. And while he's going away, you have to continue living in that same small community, with all the same people.
What problems does the state have with its timeline?
I don't think this is a slam dunk case, but everything points to only one guy. And I see no issues with their time line.
Have no idea. I wouldn't put it past Joe just to show up out of curiosity...but methinks he probably will be compensated.
I know John Marvin Murdaugh. He’s a good guy. Unlike his brother Alex who is a sociopath.
This truly is a mega in-game thread.
I think possibly ole poot thought the Colleton County sheriff's deputies would be a bunch of Barney Fife's and he would embarrass the crime scene investigation tactics employed before SLED rode in. Sure there were some errors looking back but for the most part they were efficient and professional. And their demeanor on the witness stand and articulate manner of explanation has been very impressive.
Are you saying only the 'holes' think that the state doesn't have a good case?
the more I think about it, the more I think its pretty clear that he will unfortunately get off.
Can they prove that he was there, pulled the trigger, hired someone to do it, or have a solid motive?
On number 1, so far, no. 2, no gunshot residue or splatter. 3. Can they even come close to convincing a jury that he would jill his family for insurance money?

What? They may not have introduced it yet in trial, but we know they have Paul's Snapchat video putting Alex at the crime scene minutes before they were shot. They also have his cell phone being there.
IMO they are going to show Paul's video next week to show Alex WAS there and he changed clothes. That's why they harped on his clean white t-shirt today.
My understanding is it’s only what is believed to be his voice in the Snapchat which is hardly slam dunk.
This. There ain’t no murdaugh mafia left with granddaddy gone and alex gone. Alex was the bad seed that would continue the family biz. And he’s done one way or the other.
Alex’s attorneys have already admitted it is Alex on the recording
True I guess. I don't know if voice recognition software can be used/admitted, but what I heard/read is that they have several witnesses that have said it is his voice. They also have his voice on video a couple hours after the murders (the video of him being questioned in the cop car). You would think voice recognition would give a very high % that it is his voice.
Edit: See above
Likewise. There’s a reason his boat is named Blacksheep.
A combination of drugs, alcohol, adrenaline, debt, and arrogance will not produce the same result as a "reasonable person." I mean, the guy tried to get cousin Eddie to take him out. He was not operating with a full deck.
Has anyone subscribed to the Mandy Matney premium stuff? Are they doing daily updates? I know their free podcasts aren’t being produced daily.
The Impact of Influence folks did a podcast Wednesday and one Friday. I really like them but I would like a good, informed daily update.
I am going to be on the West Coast the next two weeks and won’t be able to follow the trial as closely, so any suggestions for a good daily update would be great. (And I don’t care for the CourtTV and Law and Crime folks where they have a panel of “experts” critiquing and opining. Just the facts, ma’am.)

Avery Wilks P&C @averygwilks on Twitter gives updates throughout the day with a daily recap
Alex Murdaugh was 'clean' on night of gruesome murders, deputy testifies
Alex Murdaugh looked “clean from head to toe” in his first interview with investigators just hours after his wife and son were brutally shot to death, according to testimony prosecutors
This is what a lot of the rocking and other mannerisms make think of. It was said he was into drugs so wonder if those are withdrawal type symptoms
