The best lawyer in town somehow hired the worst lawyer in town ? This is like watching paint dry😱
Alec was NOT a good or talented lawyer.
Maybe dishonesty was the characteristic thar Alec was looking for in a defense attorney
@@diredd3955 From experience I can tell you Alex got a terrible and dishonest defense attorney. Harpolian was also painfully unprepared. But, that's not unusual for him.
So true Alex lawyers were no match for the state he shoulda hired someone who was younger and more energetic to match the states energy and counter every allegation with logic and make it make better sense that he didn’t do it I could’ve def done the job myself and he wouldn’t have been found guilty common sense was all that was needed
@@lindachandler5980 I was going to say that, too! He seems to just meander around with no direction in mind. Was his goal to bore the jury into submission? Also, guy, get your paperwork in order. Your facts are a shambles
How is anyone staying awake with Mr Justaminnit 😂 - even the Judge looks annoyed.
Hilariously comment!! 😂
Mr “Justaminute” lololololol. This guy is a joke!
He'll get to the relevant stuff if you wait "Justaminnit"
Idk, I was bored in the beginning but he got going along, I could see what he was doing especially around @1:16:00…..and I’m still here watching at 1:25:00😊
@@ghostwalk2446 you’re just as bad 😂😂😂😂
He starts out, "but you're not a lieutenant or a captain" Yes, dear, and you are not an attorney general or a member of the Supreme Court, are you?
Great response!!
Lol
He did the same thing to Gloria Satterfield's son during his testimony. What a moron, trying to intimidate these witnesses.
old fashion bullying tactics better not work.
He has no respect for the victims.
Mr Murdaughs' lawyer is unprepared. Wasting the courts time trying to find what he needs to ask a question.
You’re wrong, he’s very coordinated. There’s a cadence he uses to try to confuse the jury and not make it so straight forward. He’s as sharp as they come.
He’s not unprepared. They just don’t have anything to work. So they’re taking around in circles about bullshit. They just say crap to give the jury a reasonable doubt about anything. They’re just throwing things out there and hope one sticks. That’s all the defence has to do. Just plant the reasonable doubt in the jury’s head. They know exactly what they’re doing.
You are completely wrong he is top notch! And they are making sled look like complete incompetent!
On purpose
I see an appeal coming for lack of good representation and he hasn't even been found guilty. Both sides are unprepared as if they were in the courthouse and ordered to come in to take part in this circus.
I love this judge. He exudes a sense of confidence and control w/o having to say much. I can’t believe he just lost his son a few weeks ago and he insisted on not delaying the case.
Not like Murdaugh who murders his son for sympathy knowing he was going down for corruption Such indecence Self entitledCry baby POS
I did not know Judge Clifton Newman’s son recently passed. Judge Newman, as a fellow South Carolinian, I pray you find peace and I admire your obvious dedication to the justice system by insisting the trial continue as scheduled. 🙏💪💯💜👊
I agree!! If it weren't for this man, I believe we'd be hearing about this trial from second hand sources, and it'd almost certainly would be going a different way by now! In fact I bet Alex thought he and his buddies would, as usual, be the only ones looking handling this entire circus!
Hopefully the defense won't use that against a guilty verdict, that he was naturally pre-occupied with personal issues to handle a national murder trial with proper due attention.
I got a question for you'all since I just found out about this case and got really hooked... I'm from Georgia...Is this Alex like privileged somehow or something? If anybody can enlighten me I'll appreciate it.. Thanks!
This defense attorney strikes me as incompetent and bumbling!! 😳
Then you clearly no nothing of Dick Harpootlian. He's a master at impeeching testimony. He's setting up a reasonable doubt and that's all that's required for an acquittal.
@@HRH-THO-III totally disagree. He’s bumbling, did not know that the measurements were on page 2, etc. He’s old, that’s his situation in life.
He's one of the best lawyers in South Carolina lol
@Punky Noodle well it's a very good thing that I couldn't care any less wether you agree or not. He's one of the best in the State and if you don't like it then you just don't like it. The truth is not predicated upon your agreement.
Mr Magoo 😅
This dude is painful. It's like your grandfather looking for his glasses, and they're hanging around his neck and he's blaming someone for taking them.
I agree but everyone says that he was a good lawyer in his day. He also had a guilty client and really didn't have much evidence to work with.
😂 Very accurate!!
He is a maddening man he sort of asked her questions to make her seem stupid
He was asleep most of the time he should be retired because he roars at a lot of people and tries to try to get them mad or a bit upset
😂
What an attorney does when he’s got nothing!!!
Nailed it!
There u go.
There's no excuse for the defense team not having the exhibits clearly labelled, organized and ready. When the lead guy wants the drawing of the layout, an assistant should be able to hand it to him instantly. This sure seems like an unprofessional team. I feel sorry for the jurors whose lives are ticking away while these lawyers waste time.
They'll probably never get paid and they know it.
Exactly if it was state doing that he will be short tempted.
Mr. Magoo is a senator. He's used to not working
Agreed. Harpootlian is not prepared at all. A product of the good ole' boys network; money buys status.
I thought the same .. I have many thoughts about Alex's attorneys n wonder what type of people they are ..
This defense attorney is beyond infuriating. It’s so obvious he’s trying to make the witnesses appear stupid but he’s only making himself look stupid and like an a@&. He’s just wasting time
He definitely has never been a Boy Scout (be prepared)
this defense lawyer is SO ANNOYING
@@StaceylamarHe is so dumb and getting on my nerves.
All the defense attorneys trying to do is find any doubt so they can get a hung jury the prosecutor's Witness I believe everything he said about the shooting I think he knows what he was talkin about
He’s a Senator he is supposed to be slow and drawn out.
The defense lawyer’s shitick of being unprepared is going to wear thin!
prending to be Colombo
Aren’t we all
The ""expert "" on the stand is incredibly prepared 👌🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
His job is to be a merchant of doubt. He has a very tough job to do here for his client and I think he is doing ok. He's doing better that I would. Id already be after siding with the prosecution and saying hes guilty your honour, throw the book at him. 👋
Agreed. The Matlock thing is getting old.
His lawyers are supposed to be the most prominent in the county, REALLY?????
I don't think this old dude knows where he is or what he's doing 🤦♀️
I thought he is broke.
Its an act.
Disrespectful of the jury’s unpaid time.
They are probably working Pro Bono.The good ole boy network is alive and well. It also keeps Harpootlins name in the public. He is in politics you know. I think he's one of our state senators.
@@sandralybrand9425 God help your state then. This fool is just that a stupid old bumbling fool who is past his time and needs to retire . He should be in an old folks home. This is not an act, this is old age taking it toll on an old man who used to be a proficient attorney snd is now a washed up old fool. His pride won't let him retire !!!!! All this nonsensical measuring etc is just pure BS.
I’m a patient person but this defense lawyer has gone beyond annoying with his drawn out questioning. Seems very unprepared and tactic he is taking is very difficult to listen to. It has to be annoying the jury too.
It’s the ole Columbo method … act like a fumbling bumbling confused expert to put others off guard.
Yes and I would think/hope they (Judy) pick up on his delaying tactics.
He looks like a full blown alcoholic…
He’s awful he has no place to go. We all know it. It’s done
Omg. Going on and on with same and shows nothing. Is he leading up to a shooter far away in the buses trees
If I never hear "quail cage" and "dog kennel" again, I shall die a happy person.
I feel so sorry for the jurors at times.
Shame we can't see the exhibits.
Frodo... Frodo.... Frodo.
And "correct me if I'm wrong." Which he mostly is.
😂
I believe Darrell Brooks was better prepared than Mr. Harpolian
😂sub stained
"I do not consent to being named..."
😂😂😂😂 “Is that a judicial determination?”
🤣🤣😭😭
@@latrinahornsby9648 is that a lawful law?.....🤨
Part of the strategy must be to bore us to death.
Oh my gosh yes!! How those people in the courtroom stay awake is beyond me!!
Not "us". To confuse the jury.
👍🙈😝
You really risk the jury to resent you wasting their time. Every minute they have to sit through I’ll prepared and ridiculous nonsense when you are taking them away from their job or family to serve on a jury is disrespectful. Not a good strategy. He seems like he’s just winging it.
We are not the point. The jury is the point.
How can this lawyer be for real he is so condescending to this professional women
This line of questioning, requestioning, bumbling, needs a hearing aid, etc… is excruciating
🤣
Soooo true. Buddy, lower your pride and get a hearing aid. There should be age limits for lawyers. This dinosaur is living and operating during the Barney Fife era.
This attorney is going to help send Alex to prison. He’s just awful
Appeal in Alex's future court dates... it's a strategy. There is no defense.
The video placing him at the scene of the crime just 5 minutes prior to the murder, but he said he wasn't there, the phone data, car data, and steps data all sent him to prison. He was hustling around - doubled his steps - for about 10 minutes after the murders and right after calling 911.
Judge Newsome runs a fair, no nonsense court room. I have a feeling he will eventually tire of the 'Tricky Dick Posse" and their bumbling, stalling tactics.
He is the epitome of professional and dignified. Imagine his son just passed away a few weeks ago and he insisted on staying on this case without delay.
I surely hope the judge tires of this bumbling 26:02 lawyer for Murdough.
Whoa, she's the spitting image of Clarice (played by Jody Foster) in Silence of the Lambs. (It's a good thing, not a negative!)
We thought the exact same thing.
I was going to make the "I can smell your...." comment. Lol
I thought 🤔 so too
"CLARRR-eeez" Jodi Foster? Must be the hairstyle?
That's what I was thinking!
Ok - so this is pretending befuddlement. ? I don’t think so. If I were a juror I would start resenting all the seemingly ill prepared cross questions and all the valuable and non-paid time I’m volunteering to serve as a juror. Surely these people have jobs and lives that they value. Alienating the jury with ridiculous and I’ll prepared line of questioning isn’t doing Alex’s case any favors. It feels like it’s just wasting their time and I for one would be irritated with the defense team.
Totally agree.
Well they punished this fumbling ill-prepared lawyer with a guilty verdict, maybe for wasting their time!
I hate when they say "I won't keep you long." and then says 4500 words.
Yeah u know like Columbo.
Defense team is terrible. He sounds confused and not prepared for a case like this.
No surprise that court cases take so long, this guy moves at a turtles pace.
Attorneys bill by the minute ...kind of like milking a cow with the pinkie and thumb of only one hand.
@@brega6286 good one about milking a cow. i also think of how he walks as though he has a cob up his butt.
Sorry but definitely not the sharpest knife in the draw . You know why? Because he has NO DEFENSE!
He's so slow, what ever happened to a speedy trial. Reminds me of Tim Conway's Old Man act of the Carol Burnett Show. He's as prepared as his client was at his office. Geesh.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
If you were on trial for double murder and he was your attorney, I'm pretty sure you'd want him to do whatever he needed to do in order to at the very least try and put reasonable doubt in at least one of the jurors minds.
Judge please tell this man not to be so disrespectful by wasting everyone s time ! What a jerk
The defense attorney appears intoxicated, grumpy old man, abusive and sarcastic.
Typical old homophobe from the south. This old impotent fool 😒.. I hope he rots in hell with his ginger client. This defense attorney seems to be drunk 🥴
@@jamie.777
From the way the defense attorney looks, he must have serious health problems, cannot stay a steady course, does sense the gravity of insulting the witness, and most probably disoriented in space, time, subject, and people.
I guess, when a person commits a crime, there is no money that could buy a decent counsel.
He’s rude
He operates through intimidation .
This old guy is worst atty I’ve ever seen
Lol defense has got me in tears from laughing!" You didn't measure the dog house!"
How does she keep a straight face!!!
HA..HA..HA!
@@lyndachambers6649 SHE'S TRYING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT 😑FACE!
😂
The dog house is 2 feet from the ground and was full of bullets
He's an amazing Lawyer. I love his style.
Bloody police shoes prints at scene??? She an expert as she's feminine ....
Why is it referred to as an "incident"? THIS IS A MURDER!
SO IT WON'T SOUND SO AWFUL THEY CALL IT 😕 INCIDENT!!
And he admitted to “doing his son bad” on the dash cam footage‼️ HE IS A MURDERER‼️ Guilty as H E Double Hockey Sticks‼️
It’s an incident until the court says it’s murder
Well, they want us to forget that I think.
Because one cannot utter such a word like Murder concerning this outstanding well known famlily Murdaugh people like him don't do things like that!!!! Just like his reckless son and the boat accident
It would be nice if the defense lawyers would be prepared for trial. He just doesn't seem to even listen to the person on the stand.
Defense does this to discredit. He goes in circles to confuse and keeps saying so, "You didn't do a measurement?" Like 5 times. And gee, this image isn't clear. Is this the best you can do? So obvious! Hope jurors get this strategy of defense trying to establish reasonable doubt. This kind of stuff is all they can do to poke holes in evidence.
That's what I have been thinking.... picking on stupid details and confusion etc. and distraction is the best they can do !
@@janeferguson4455 it's the ONLY thing he can do. No other choice with a GUILTY client.
🤨 Condescending trickery...
lmao what evidence. Prosecution has no evidence yet, no solid evidence at all.
@@EarlGaming0728 It's only the beginning of the case, they're still cross examining first responders and investigators, they don't dump all their evidence onto the jury in the first few days of a trial. Prosecution so far has shown Alex Murdaugh owns (or mysteriously "lost") at least one of the murder weapons and prosecution has also shown the killer used the exact same type of ammo Murdaugh owns and uses regularly, they're not exactly off to a bad start
Certainly some have died of boredom watching this lawyer. He should be prosecuted.
I wonder if Murdaugh will be charged for those as well.
I have no idea what this attorney is trying to get at. He’s just awful.
His intent is to make the witness nervous and appear incompetent.
He is causing confusion. Basically showing the people who did the crime scenes are idiots and you can't determine a man's guilt based on their interpretation of a crime.
@@kimberleeturner8475 I think the average person can see he’s just trying to cause confusion and he’s not likable with his arrogance so jurors probably won’t lean his way. I think…
He finally made his point! Two shooters. He’s trying to use this witness to establish a second shooter, or at least a look out up on the hill.
@@kimberleeturner8475 he’s TRYING TO SHOW THESE PEOPLE AS STUPID. With the emphasis on trying. If he can fluster her.
There is a lot to be said about preparing the case before getting to court
I think the case is too TECHNICAL for these OLD SCHOOL lawyers. And they might not have the money or Alex have the money to throw behind the case
They don’t have the aptitude or energy, either. 1:08:40 my mans with his head in his hand lol.
You ain't never lied.
@@kyleanderson2949I saw that too...lmbo
Unbelievable. The only "reasonable doubt" seems to be how this attorney is doing his cross examine. 😝
Well, reasonable doubt is how OJ Simpson got off, wasn't it? Poke enough holes and it might work.
I can’t stand this lawyer. He is doing his work but I hate the way he is trying to bring confusion in the witness’s mind. IMO, the system is not fair. It’s all a game but people are dead.
Now that I heard the facts on the ballistic results that the expert couldn't match the bullets in Maggie's body and at the crime scene to the blackout rifle then I think Alec is innocent! Paul and Buster each got a blackout rifle for Christmas one year and one night while Paul was at a party with friends his who are also Mallory beach's friends and the rifle was stolen from Paul's truck at that party. Now fast forward to the murders of Paul and Maggie I believe 2 people were waiting and watching in the tree line behind the kennels to execute Paul in retaliation for what happened to Mallory and one of the gunmen is the one who stole the other blackout rifle from Paul's truck and that's why the ballistics didn't match up because Paul was shot with his stolen black out rifle. The culprits waited for alec to leave the property then they killed Maggie and Paul and they're probably laughing knowing alec's the perfect scapegoat or fall guy. I really don't think he is the killer
@@kaciecharles5629 Hi! I am trying to analyze how you came to that decision based on this only fact. IMO, There are to many red flags: shirt and shoes disappeared, slowing down where Maggie’s phone was found, high speeding on a dangerous route, asking the care giver to lie about the time he spent there, trying to influence Blanca about the shirt he was wearing, no blood anywhere on him even if he touched them, 20 seconds to get out of his truck, check on both of them, trying to turn Paul, checking the phone that came out of his pocket, going back to his truck to call 911, lying about his presence at the kennels, no memory of his last conversation with his wife, about what they talked there and the Timelapse he staid there… it’s a lot, don’t you think? After watching very closely the trial and testimonies, IMO, he is guilty. Have a good day!
@Louise Picard as much as I can't stand Alex Murduagh I can't find myself convinced 100% that he killed his family. Yes he is a despicable person, and before this trial, based on his reputation alone, i assumed he did it. I thought he was too guilty to even stand trial. All I see is circumstantial bits and if I were on the jury, I'm not sure if his persona is enough to say he did it, nor the prosecution's argument that he had the motive to disguise his financial crimes through the murder of his family. Is there reason for me to believe he did it? Yes. But beyond any sliver of doubt? Not for me. I wouldn't sentence a man to death if I were only 85% sure he did it. I get you hate him so much that you don't understand why anyone wouldn't comvict him, but holes in the evidence is how reasonable doubt is cast.
Dang that lawyer is slow as a damn turtle 🐢
He ist old
If the judge would charge them $1,000 every time they had to hold up court to go look for something, this shite would stop.
I thought this defendant had money!! You would think he would hire a better attorney! Unless he’s doing a favor for a family friend!! He is so terrible !! Should be hanging around McDonald’s with a few buddies drinking coffee !!
🤣
They must be doing this pro bono Alex is broke
I’ve wondered that lots recently..
Urghhhh, this lawyer is a cartoon
AM donated to Poot politically. What us he doing as a senator if he's in all these hearings and trials?
I’m amazed that his lawyers are not prepared! They had this stuff since discovery!😮
They had to make up things as they went
Alex murdough is probably dying right now thinking who the hell did I hire.
There are a couple of questions that she could/should have answered in a more succinct educated manner in order to lessen the bizarre effectiveness of the def. lawyer.
Lady stay strong. Do not let him put words into your mouth.
The defense lawyer is driving me NUTS!! He is either trying to confuse people or he is not prepared for this trial. I can barely muster through this.
He is being a jerk to make jury forget good evidence from state. He reminds me of the old comedian Tim Conway. Well his stupidity not S.C. Funny bits.
I meant T. C.
He’s doing his job. That’s all he wants to do & with trying to confuse people in hopes of giving them a reasonable doubt
He’s absolutely ridiculous. As a previous juror, I guarantee he is not making points with the jury.
Joe Biden croney
OMG the defense attorney with the bulging eyes needs to get to his point already, I have no idea why he kept talking about the measurements from the dog house to this and that. My GOD!
Seriously, what's his point?
Yoda.
You did well Miss Worley!
bless her heart. no one should be put through his BS. no one can follow his line of thought , i dont know how she stayed with his questioning. it was nonsense. she did an outstanding job of humoring his delusions. i would of had to burst his bubble. it was her job to process the crime scene- to gather evidence for the detectives and prosecution. he’s asking her to solve the murder. he’s an idiot
@@paulamartin4523 I don't think he is an idiot. He is using the Colombo method. As for the Judge, yes, he seems very capable, but it will all come down to the jury being able to unanimously discern that the criminal defendant committed familicide. Perhaps he intended on killing himself too, but chickened out and began to concoct his disgraceful criminal defense.
The defence attorney is deliberately befuddling things but his mind would be like a steel trap. He is pretending to be confused. He needs to be careful though not to irritate the jury.
He's playing Columbo 😂
@@wizardofahhhs759 I already irritated they are lucky I'm not on the jury. I'd be stop wasting my time. It takes 10 minutes to find a piece of paper.
Right...he's irritating me... I know there irritated... damnit 🤷🏼
The defense attor ey is doing his job. He's showing the inadequacy of the police. Even I know that nobody should be walking around the crime scenes.
96 degrees and 84 degrees is 180 degrees. She can't read own notes. Really sad that he's bullshipping her during her turn on the stand.
Is that the quail cage or the dog house, or the kennel, or the small animal cage, or the feed room, or the chicken coup? He knows how to confuse the jury...
😂😂😂😂
No it’s the feed lot, oh wait maybe the brooding pen? The nesting box?
And what about the sunflowers?!?
@@tresasauer7129 Sunflowers! Those, too! 🌻 🌻 🌻
He's done a great job confusing me!
The judge is looking like he has had enough of the lawyer’s tomfoolery.
Not sure if this is a “good ole Southern boys” obfuscating. He’s not that stupid…this is a tactic. He’s playing with this man’s life and future.
He reminds of the lawyer in the movie Erin Brokovich. Seems like a strategy he might use.
100% 👍
I know others have mentioned it, but this defense attorney is painfully slow! Shouldn’t he have been more prepared with presenting his exhibits? He just takes forever!!! If it’s his goal to bore us to death…he’s succeeded!
Where is this lawyer going with total Schrade of a defense .I would be more interested in watching paint dry !
With all his money, this is the best lawyer he could afford! Grabbing at straws.
I agree
@@quincykilgore6061 Maybe he's like Matlock but we haven't seen any evidence to that effect yet... but he sounds like he is setting his defense on the movement of TRACE evidence being disturbed in the dark.....
This is probably the worst attorney I've ever witnessed. I thought the defense attorneys for Aaron Dean was bad...
This guy here needs to retire...should have retired a long time ago!
Oddly Harpootlian used to be one of the top lawyers in SC.. he was also the prosecutor for some of the Pee Wee Gaskins cases.
@Steve Akers Harp is still one of the top SC defense lawyers.....Come back at the end of trail to these comments
A more disorganized attorney would be difficult to imagine.
Pronounce this: You are a Kook.
Wow, that bit of pretended befuddlement from the defense attorney while actually gettingv a diagram created and put into evidence was like something from a columbo episode.
A lawyer on the Prosecution side is exactly the same. He asks the same question two and three times.
Except that Columbo always knew what he was doing.
I don't think it's a fake befuddlement. He really is a bumbling fool.
That's what I said...lmbo
She reminds me a lot of Jodie foster in silence of the lambs. They share the same mannerisms
The Defense is not prepared for the line of questioning.
The Defense asks questions over and over to try to confuse the witness.
He seems at the age of retirement. This young lady is very patient
What an incredible waste of time by that defense lawyer!
Why doesn't the Prosecutors abject to Dick testifying during his questioning of the witness? ,at about 123, he asks her about the blood, and he slips in, " it was not human blood" as if it was a statement of fact... shouldn't they have corrected that?
ALL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS DO IN THESE CASES IS TEY TO DECEIVE THE JURY, CONFUSE THE JURY, DISTRACT THE JURY TO GET REASONABLE DOUBT. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THEIR CLIENT IS GUILTY AS HELL. WHAT A SLEEZEALL JOB THEY HAVE.
Well that's tour justice system!!! I'm so confused don't know anymore..
But thank goodness for them, because our whole judicial core stands on the promise that the State has to make and bring their case -not the defendant who rests under the safety -the cloak some call it- of innocence, the presumption that they walk into a courtroom as innocent and this is imperative for many but for one huge reason. Power. The State has too much if it - has the unlimited resources ($) unlimited to run hog wild in pursuit of truth only. Because if used for anything else God help us. Corruption at the prosecutorial level is wicked ugly. I wish prosecutors would start paying consequences for it so much of it in certain states like Texas. It’s disgusting What’s the expression “better 100 guilty men go free than one innocent man be found guilty”. Yeah people can hate defense attorneys and they can call them sleazy until you need one.
@M B
I totally disagree. A defence team is usually competent snd very concise. This is just a bumbling old senile fool who should be retired and in an old folks home !!! He is not precisely misleading anyone, he's doddering around like the old fool he is. He's almost incoherent. Surprised the Judge hasn't asked him to resign. He's bloody hopeless. All I've the place like a dogs dinner. SHAME ON HIM.
ABSOLUTELY!!!🤮
Worthless and meaningless to this case meandering!!What a bunch of circus clowns 🤡
Why doesn't the prosecution object to all the repeated question about two shooters. " your honor, asked and answered".
Because she never answered the question. During testimony and cross examination, you must answer the question directly and only the question asked. She repeatedly attempted to dodge the question, so he asked again until she gave him a direct answer.
@@carylong6751 I missed her direct answer but remember when she didn't answer it.
You can ask a question more than once on cross
"it's possible this happened, right?" , and "it's reasonable this happened, right?" are 2 different questions. They SHOULD have objected to speculation though.
@@truthtransparency no you cant. Asked and answered is still a valid objection. It's not always objected to...but it can be.
He starts off by saying lets get organized! Would you think he already should have been ? He is also sarcastic! Don’t like the defense attorney !
My cousin Vinny meets Silence of the Lambs
😂😂😂😂
OMG I can’t watch this anymore!! What a waste of time!!!
She should not be asked to do defense attorney work. She is there to explain the work she already did !
I would love to see the jury! They have to be “nodding off” or looking as if “will this insane ‘jibber jabber’ ever end”?
Gezzz these attorneys are not prepared! If you know a question you're going to ask, you should have the document to support this
Btw...someone please tell this courthouse to change the witness chair and that whole booth!!!! It is so very awkward and wrong!!!
Omg! I so agree with you...
Alex would’ve been better off defending himself 😂😂😂
She sounds like fbi chick from silence of the lambs!!
She also looks like jodi foster
Clarise Yep she does & even facial expressions = I was thinking Jodi may have worked w her
That is exactly what I was thinking! She sure does, even facial expressions, they say everyone has a twin...
"Your notes say 84 degrees and your report says 96"
"Sir I'm a government employee "
It’s clear that 84 and 96 degrees are supplementary angles. In other words, they add up to 180 degrees. It depends on which side of the projected bullet path you place the protractor. It will read as either 84 or 96 degrees. It’s the same trajectory!
The most unorganized defense team I've ever seen
Defense attorney is unorganized!
Harpootlian is an old school attorney who knows exactly what he is doing. Confuse, intimidate, lead when you can get away with it, act like a bumbling country bumpkin, etc. Put the witness off guard and then strike. There is absolutely ‘method to his madness’.
This guy is a total loser Check out the reviews on his Law Office website 1.2 stars😂🤣
I would like you to please watch the video of the 2nd chair prosecutor questioning the maid/housekeeper, he appeared confused, disorganized, and at times aggressive. He became petulant when the defense attorney was cross-examining her.
bullying ... & so condesending...
A really good attorney doesnt need to bully
The defense attorney is the best Alex can hire. He is very qualified for this murder case. He is putting on an act as an old incompetent attorney to get people to play into his hands. He is trying to irritate, confuse, make people nervous and insinuate their memory is faulty and the professionals are incompetent. The jury is listening to him closely. He's trying to put doubt in their minds. (The LE bungled the case the murderer is still out there. Alex may have stolen money but he is not a murderer). I hope the jury are intelligent people and make the right decision. Sometimes they don't.
I couldn’t disagree with you more. You’re being sentimental over the whole thing. He’s simply unprepared and unfortunately, has slowed down a lot due to age.
Ole Buster sure looks mighty guilty and suspicious. In every damn video...
He's trying to make the evidence look disorganized? It's an act?
But really hes making himself look disorganised🙄
Yup its an act
why is this an act,what purpose?
@@t-bonewhufc6429 i think to delay, misinform and purposely confuse the jury with information that is not really relevant to the actual crime commited but rather talk about events amd differences.
He wants the jury to tune him out as he befuddles the case. After repeatedly appearing disorganized one will be less interested in what he says thereby confusing them
This poor witness is like please get on with it old man!! I was done with you a long time ago!
Omg🤣😂👍
I feel like she had more answers if she were asked the right questions. She held strong under long bouts of pressure from Poot, I admire her
GOD have mercy to anyone who supports Him for the Cold Blooded Murder of his Wife and Son 😪
I totally agree ....So very sad 😔 He did it without a doubt ...Pray he repents before he dies and comes to know
Jesus christ as his Lord and Savior ..His only hope is Jesus ...
This defense attorney needs to retire. He’s just confused
Really like this Judge!
It must be exhausting for Alex Murdaugh to be in this courtroom and maintain his composure knowing that he killed his family, listening to all of the details of his family members' murders, while at the same time replaying in his mind what he did to his family, knowing that the cameras are on him at all times, hundreds of thousands of people scrutinizing his facial expressions and non-verbals on RUclips. If he is found not guilty, what kind of life could he possibly think he is going to live?
A prison life. Regardless of whether he's acquitted on the homicides, he's going to catch some serious time on all the financial fraud charges he's facing. It's a bunch of them.
He’s well practiced in the art of deception. He defrauded lots of people over the years with his “acts” I keep thinking how hard it must be for him to keep up with all his lies.
He will be in court the rest of his days.
Please pray that doesn't happen ...Hes guilty as sin ..
As I sit here in South Carolina watching all this, I’m leaning toward guilty, but still have reasonable doubts:
1. State hasn’t produced any physical evidence that Murdaugh (and not possibly someone else) is the perp
2. Motive. By all accounts he got along well with his family. WHY would he do this? Insanity? If so, he’s hidden it well for the last five decades.
AM you deserve an Emmy, the reaction you turn on and off light a light switch! IMO you are guilty, you killed not only your wife, but your youngest child! What kind of animal does that and then tries to make it like you are innocent! I hope the jury sees through all the BS being presented to them. 🤬
That witness chair looks so uncomfortable!!
the defense is consistently helping the prosecution.
In the end, that's what you want.
Worst defense lawyers I’ve ever witnessed on a high profile case.
they say these are the best around SC!!
I disagree. It is just a different place and culture there from wherever you are.
Would not want that guy as my lawyer, he isn't prepared, constantly ask the same questions.
She’s not a very good witness. She doesn’t know a lot , nor does she know others role in her departments
The defense atty has seen better days!
ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS LAWYER DUDE IS TOTALLY TAP DANCING ON MY LAST FRAYED NERVE...
At 1:20 why is he questioning things UNRELATED TO HER JOB SPECIALTY how often she has reminded him of that.
Getting Clarice Starling vibe from the Special chick. She has the same vocal mannerisms Jodie Foster used to play Clarice in Silence of the Lambs.
That defence lawyer seems to be all over the shop with his paper work.!!
Trickery...
Bit of bullying going on getting in her face and space
This man had everything planned out believe you me his not stupid
Lol yeah right, this guy spends his life studying law, defending and prosecuting criminals, yet he left enough evidence to be charged with a double murder, he's just as stupid as Kohburger
Absolutely! Look at his grey hair... he hasn't spent that many years on court fumbling away. This must be a strategy. And prosecution and judge must be aware of it.
@@lavyap676 most definitely all laws related in their field they back each other the you notice the lawyer he doesn't seems worried,after is interview his reactions now changed in court m looking at him as a man will walk free
@@ghostwalk2446 ok we will see, am sure u coming of the evidence showing to us you,and hi right well n the camera 📷 but he walks laws backs laws
@@Godplansnow2024 Lmao wtf was that!? You may want to try again when you sober up, I can't make heads or tails out of that reply lol
I think he’s gonna walk away again if the prosecution doesn’t get more prepared than today.
Well since Alex called all his friends to come by the house and even asked the housekeeper to go tidy up, like wash the clothes I left laying around…… what does the footprints of an investigator matter? The house was full and there were cars and people everywhere!!! Well I must be missing something here.
All this stalling tells me he hasn't much to say in defense.
God this is like watching paint dry. Does Harpootlian intentionally ask questions in the most disjointed, drawn out way possible? He’s almost impossible to comprehend sometimes.
Someone said he's like Columbo...giggle
What's so special about a special agent ? 🙄
This Defense lawyer seems about as competent as Joe Biden.
Damn took the text right from my fingers!
😅😅 😅 for real 🤣 OMG that's so true and hilarious 😆
