That is what a reporter with sources is saying. Video hasn’t been shown at trial yet, but I’m sure that is why on Friday they were asking all those questions about what Alex was wearing when he was interviewed and how clean and fresh they looked
⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️
- Thread starter OldMTPTiger
- Start date
Granted that I-95, as well as proximity to Charleston has an influence of "modernization" to Walterboro and CC.
I'm proud b/c I grew up and was educated 1-12 in the county.
Alex was about to get all his financial deviances blown wide open because of two people:
1 - Paul bc of the boating accident
2 - his wife bc she knew he was shady
Those two people get shot after both told other people Alex wanted to see them. Alex has Paul’s phone when cops arrive and blames the shootings on the people out to get them bc of the boating accident.

Accurate observation and I agree with you. She did contribute to unraveling this ball of criminal yarn, but she doesn't own everything in the process. I lost respect for her when she decided she could try and convict, which is a jury/judge role and nor a media role. (Since Matney rankles when people call her a YouTube commenter because she self identies as a reporter, I'll hold her to her standard.)
Don't really understand everyone's fascination about this/these tragic events.
Sad, all around.
Will be decided exactly the same if no one outside of the courtroom ever talks about it or writes about it ever again.
It will be what it will be.
Hobbies, anyone?

I’m sure some folks would think some of
Your hobbies are stupid too.
The fascination is because Alex Murdaugh earned about a million a year and somehow, that wasn't enough. He had to steal from his clients, his law partners and his friends. Then on top of that he staged a phony murder suicide to commit insurance fraud. And he is the number one suspect for the murder of his wife and child. None of this is normal behavior especially for a guy with his financial and social standing. I have never heard of a story like it.
Some of your takes are pretty terrible. This is one of them.
If memory serves me well, you were the one that bitched and cried to have this thread moved to the back room.
I listened to last night's/this morning's "Cup of Justice" podcast. I thought it was surprisingly good. They offered some good insights into the case. You know where Mandy, Liz, and Eric are coming from -- and they are open about their perception and biases regarding AM.
And Liz didn't give one of her awful teeny-bopper screeds where she sounds like a gossiping middle schooler.

Poot must have been on a bender all weekend. After two days to prep for this morning, he is again totally disorganized.
On my side there is no one to even attempt to fight it. Hard to see how anything happens now even with willing and honest compromise
Companies gave up long ago. They just stopped writing here.
The Agent Associations no longer focus on lobbying for state level changes cause 1) They don't see it as possible to get anything done 2) Some new case law will be developed to undo it.
He has not been impressive all trial. Has seemed unprepared for all his cross examinations. From my untrained eyes and ears he hasn't been concise in his line of questionining and it's hard to tell what point he's trying to make at various times.
Would love to hear some opinions from experienced lawyers on the board.
I person rocking or fidgeting means they don't want to be where they are. They want to "move" and get away.
I am not a lawyer. I did go to school and had classes with Harpootlian. Way back then he impressed me as a well named guy who thought he was always the smartest mind in the room and so had little need to prepare.
I think Dick has had a nice decades long career in the public eye in SC. Congratulations to him for that. It makes sense to me that he is the lawyer on TV representing one of the Palmetto State's sleaziest attorneys who is accused of murdering his wife and son.
yeah...the "Forge" bank account was more than interesting. If he doesn't go down for this, he will go down for that. I see no way he does not at least get charged and serve time for that
There is a special on YouTube TV that is free on the boat wreck and the FORGE bank account he was using
POoot has sucked arse - his generation used to be able to spew and spew and have a jury rule his way
BUT - and I caution everyone, this awww shucks or fumbling and bumbling preformance can be a ploy to slow things down and then jurors stop listening - the damning stuff will be the filling of the time between phones locked and 911 call - get a jury misearable and hope they lose interest -
this is the only case where they MIGHT get an acquittal - and I mean MIGHT

Acts like he knows he has a verdict in his pocket
I wouldn’t say Mandy is open about her bias. She calls herself a reporter. Reporters are suppose to give facts not opinions and she openly leads you to believe she has already found him guilty. All this circumstantial evidence says otherwise. The state doesn’t have a smoking gun. Everything they have is circumstantial. That’s not a good recipe.
Did you listen to the latest Cup of Justice episode? That is all I was referring to.
I found it surprisingly informative and useful and recommend it to anyone following the case closely.
Almost makes me wonder if it is not by design. A down the road hail marry is the lawyer was incompetent. When you can't when on the facts......
Ineffective assistance of counsel is a very very difficult bar for the defendant to win with on appeal. It ain't happening in a case where AM is spending in the high six-figures on a huge defense team.
Seems like it’s going to come down to that video of him at the kennels.
Right now I’m impartial. It’s likely him, but assuming he’s innocent, I’ll have to wait to hear more evidence. If he’s on that Snapchat minutes before and he said he wasn’t there then that’s it.
If not, I’m not sure how it’s going to end.
You’re like the fat guy who tells everyone to “get healthy” while he’s crushing his second piece of pecan pie at thanksgiving after he’s had three plates of dinner.
Do you see the irony in you coming into this thread to tell us we need hobbies to get us out of this thread?
Yep, this case depends on that video. Was he there? Probably, from what we've read. Was he shown in the video and what was he wearing. I have read some on here say you could hear his voice, but was not shown. If that is true, I'm not sure what I'll think.
In the pre trial motions, his attorneys have already acknowledged that Alex is in the video and that it is his voice
Yea, the Matney podcast has jumped the shark - they really sound like a bunch of pissed off women who think SC is the only state where some people are privileged.
Only saving grace is Eric Bland’s commentary. I can only fathom how awful their paid “insider” content is - I’ve gathered that most of their subscribers are people that do not live in the state.
Well, once that is presented in court im not sure you can defend it. Prior to knowing that, I felt like it would be tough to prove. After hearing that a video exists of him being there just minutes prior even though he still says he wasn't, my mind has changed.
But trying to be fair, I have not seen that yet and it hasn't been presented.
We were talking about the video…
From experience i live in a place where sometimes a Snapchat video will not send when i press send. It sends when it gets enough signal…
Just knowing that, that can very easily be a possibility. Texts and conversations send with ease but it requires more signal for a video to send
Not sure what time the video was sent but let’s say it was sent at 8:49… that doesn’t mean it was taken at 8:49… Snapchat and the defense can easily prove that. I do not know if Snapchat can prove the video was at 8:49 or if it was taken at 7:49 but finally sent at 8:49?

I agree. For instance, this past weekend I was in ATL and was touring Truist Field. I took video of it and posted it to FB and text it to my family. Both of them were not sent right away and in fact one of them wasn't uploaded until a few hours later. I had terrible signal, and it was taking forever to actually load and send.
Now, maybe they can tell specifically what time the video was taken and if so, that would tell. Otherwise, it's a grey area IMHO.
Yea as soon as i heard about the video… the video just says he is there, he is claiming he is there, no one is saying when the video took place, just the time it was sent. Huge huge difference
Also people are acting like he could not have changed his clothes just because it’s 10 at night to be more comfortable.
1. How do people know what he had on when the video was taken without seeing him?
2. If it was taken at earlier, people change their clothes… it’s possible.
But to your point… you can easily have conversations constantly up to the point of “locked forever”, Paul might not had enough service for those videos to send.
You don’t think the state has thought of that? If they present the video, they’re going to be prepared to ask how often Paul sent videos and when they were received. They’re not going to throw a theory out there and do everything they can to eliminate reasonable doubt.
I think until the video is entered into evidence the thing that has me about the clothes situation is the fact he said he tried to turn Paul and attempted to take his pulse but no blood on him. The captain from Colleton County stated it would not be possible to do either without getting blood on him
That’s my hang up along with the fact the close were completely dry yet he was sweating a lot and looked fresh out of a dryer
Based merely on the timeline of events that Alex gave in the interview the night of the murders, the tictok video would have had to be taken between 8 and 8:45.
