Very impressive. There were a few spots where some of the related crimes had been sort of off limits up to that point in the trial but then the defense did something which created an opportunity and the prosecution jumped on it. One was when the defense was questioning Maggie’s sister and the roadside shooting came up. The defense questioning opened the door just a little bit and the prosecutor jumped on it immediately
Hahaha. You're an ass. The prosecutor was acting like he was in a movie the whole time. People burst out laughing at his little attempts to show his acting 😆
I love that Alex states that Paw Paw and he leave guns and clothes everywhere, drunkenly crash boats but they would DEFINITELY only park a golf cart a certain way. So absurd.
The level of detail & description about parking the golf cart & how the family was to go about doing that was ridiculous. But he couldn't remember his last words with his wife or son. Couldn't remember what he all did on the most tragic night of his life. An innocent victim would have the events of that night burned into their brain & be haunted by it. Why they survived & his wife & son didn't. What a bunch of BS. Murdaugh is a piece of work faking vagueness & forgetfulness. But it's hard to keep all the little details of a lie straight. Especially if a person has to tell a lie filled story over & over. Conversely, the truth should flow easily. Wasn't much truth to Alex's tale. Very good cross examination & patience Mr. Waters had.
Creighton waters was the one who kept the cross examination going an going lol. He always says " We are gonna get to that" he went through every nook and cranny and tried to drive home the most Important parts. I feel he couldve did without all the fraudulent talk he literally went through every person who got money stolen from them . I mean this was a murder case and I think we all agree he had motivation with all those people he stole from really we all know the him lying about being at the kennels literally 3 minutes before they think they were murdered said it all right there nothing more really had to be said cause how would he know when to lie about being there if noone was supposed to know when they died not even him? That's why he was convicted because once he lied about that in the very beginning in the truck noone was supposed to know there time of death not even him but Paul Snapchat closed the case . It was a wrap for him after that.
He claimed he was concerned about that and that's why he went back up to the house and got a gun while he was still on the phone with the 911 operator. He even told the 911 operator that he was concerned about that.
Too easy, that word gets thrown around too easily to anyone most people presume is guilty to the point it really becomes meaningless. "Oh he's killed his partner or family etc, he's a narcissist" what does that tell you?, nothing, it's a circular argument
😂he said 5’2 vigilantes. I wondered what Waters said before Vigilantes.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I love the story of the Black Panthers and Navy Seals😂😂. We knew our cousin had a serious mental illness when she said she woke up to a clown and a cowboy in her bedroom. I said that’s weird because they don't hang out with each other
I’ve watched this trial multiple times. Just can’t get enough. I was so impressed with the prosecution, BRAVO!! You’re an inspiration. RIP……Maggie and Paul
ME TOO! I'm glad I'm not the only one!! Every time I listen, I pick up on new details! I thought I was a weirdo because I watch it over and over! lol. But the prosecution is just AMAZING in this case!! Just astounding!
@@lesliehurles7592 I know. Every time I revisit this trial, there's yet another inconsistency or lie exposed. His own attorney must have drank the Kool-Aid to blurt out it was an "honor" to defend a man who he knew in the very least made a career out of stealing everyone's money who ever crossed his path. Don't get carried away Mr. Attorney!
@@lesliehurles7592 I think I’m easily tricked by his super polite, nice way he interacted. So I have watched these trial videos and other videos many times! I’m convinced now! He’s a damn good liar and actor except he couldn’t produce real tears. He is really unbelievable.
Same here, keep watching them too. I’ve always wondered who put the dogs away. I think it is obvious that it was Alec, or he definitely helped put them away. It just further proves his guilt in my opinion. We know Bubba was out because he had a chicken, and at least one other dog I think. We know that all of the dogs were put in before the murders, and Paul was killed in the feed room. He was probably getting food to feed the dogs, that he and his father just put away. Maggie was probably just waiting for them to feed the dogs, and they’d all head back to the house. Planned and executed.
Waters picked him apart limb by limb. A truly masterful prosecution plan and strategy. They knew everything that was going to be said before Alex even said it, and threw it back in his face with hard evidence. Perfectly done.
So obvious who was the better lawyer, the proscecutor or Alex. He sure proves that if you represent yourself or take the stand in your own defense, you are a FOOL.
If I was the prosecutor I would have used 9/11 as an example. I was only 16 and I can recall a lot of details from that day, all this time later. Now imagine you find your son with his brain removed from his head, your wife shot dead in a pool of blood, two years prior, and you can't recall details from that? Sketchy!
That crap the Murdaugh's being a "CLOSE" family is pure "BULLSHIT". Look where they're all sitting!? They didn't even speak to each other. Randy sat there stiff as a board. Not looking around at anyone!!! John Marvin always comes across like he's the nicest guy in town. Don't "trust" OR "believe" a word that ANY of them say! Not one!
I watch him bust up this monster in this video at least 3 times a week. An I'm serious! Also I think Buster is dirty af. An could've been involved in ALL this except the financial stuff. An who knows he could be involved in that some way.
He repeated the same answers over and over lol what were you watching? Waters kept asking the same thing just in a different way and he was called out on it
@@parkinlox9049 is it? Show me one defendant that took the stand and didn’t have a tougher examination from the prosecution? Kind of a no shit Sherlock statement, actually
I have now watched this man explain how a dog collar works, what a chicken is, what a golcart is, how a kennel functions...etc etc. This is not normal and honestly super super creepy
He’s such a liar. His eyes are scary looking, they are just dark, empty, blank pits. His son Paul’s brain had to be bagged and transported/examined separate from (and obviously out) of his body, the gruesome nature of how that looked that even I can’t think about it too long because it’s just so heinous to imagine. However, after “finding” both his wife Maggie and one of their sons shot dead in a blood bath, seeing his son in that way, yet afterwards he even has the ability to talk to detectives in a car with no shock, sadness, blood, devastation, uncontrollably emotions, he’s sitting there talking about sunflower seeds being planted but more bothersome is he had the mind and ability to lie, after what he witnessed. His mind shouldn’t be on overdrive but for himself, concocting stories and blatant lies. I’d be catatonic. They’d have to bring me out in a bag with them because I’d truly be done for (if godforbid.) Yet he’s sitting there blank, and it’s not a in shock blank because he was very much talking and answering questions, engaging with the other three in the car and wasn’t in shock to right away try and throw the boat accident up. That’s calculated. That was rehearsed. That was not shock. It was all self serving and he didn’t give a damn about finding justice but instead (and like most murders/family annihilators) don't tell/retell but instead sell, and it’s almost always for their own benefit. Two life sentences is justice yeah however he still has the gift of life, waking up and living regardless where he does it. Why do family annihilators mess up by getting their evil selves in some kind of trouble or bind and always make their families pay the price-the ultimate price-with their lives? Anthony Todt did this. Watts and Peterson wanted out with “the old and in with the new,” obviously this filthy roach, Coleman, just to name a few (which is still a few too many.) Why not just have it be them who take a permanent nap? These are rhetorical questions because there’s simply no justification for their crimes and to try and search or find some rationale is impossible-there is none. Well done to the prosecution and Dr. Kinsey was remarkable.
Yep & now some half crazed female will want to gaze in2 those dark pits & call it Love 😮❤😅 Sick & Twisted I know...Father of the lie, the wicked one, stalking the Earth..looking to devour xx
It's pitiful how much I've watched, and rewatched this. It is chilling when he says with CERTAINTY that it was the boat wreck that caused the murders. That is the GOSPEL TRUTH. DUE TO the boat wreck Alex would be exposed....the real cause of the murders. The hatred he mentions is also true. I think Alex feels like Paul's mistake FORCED him to kill them, making them responsible for their deaths, not him. This "man monster" should be studied.
You think that’s why he spared Buster? For two reasons, one his connection to the boat case was smaller than even himself, and to have someone left to be a “family” with.
@@Lei-AICPhD I think buster wasn't around to know the depth of his dad's issues and Paul and Maggie were nagging alot so they maybe confronted him a lot and he didn't want them to be right ...
I agree. I am a nurse and can tell you if he had been taking that much for that long, he would have died LONG LONG ago--his liver would never have survived that amount of medication. He was either a major drug dealer (but not because where is his money--why did he have to d=keep stealing if he was getting money from drug dealing) OR--he was paying off someone who was blackmailing him.....OR---He had Curtis Smith bury the money out at his island house --remember he told us Curtis had been digging ditches for him out there.....I think he thought he could bury it and later go get it when the heat was off him....
@washcaps71 I think just expense keeping up with millions dollars homes college for kids plus he's spending that why he stealing. just like all lawyers do. He just got greedy started trying steal all of it . All lawyers steall from people. all lawyers lies including prosecutor ,judges . that why you suppose to be open minded be able to fan out both lawyers bull s . Lies judges. almost always go long with prosecutor lines bs lies . Just like this murder trial should of been not focus on stealing money lies . But Bec prosecutor getting away with lying to jury. Bec judge letting them . Like the fact they didn't even seal off crime scene release it in 24 hrs then wanted to search mom dad house what 3 months later are f kidding me . These juror didnt do good job being open minded go through evidence the fact police screw whole crime scene up their no way they search 1,400 acre in 24 hrs . The cops that should of stood back that think it ok to contained the whole crime scene . Lying about Maggie blood being on the gun if it easy could of transfer from cops sloppy crime scene work . that even juror didnt even caught they clearly wasn't able to fan out bs verse actual evidence. They are only focused on lying not actual evidence . Far as Alex can't remember detail . Listen to them cops when they are on stand lying they can't recall when it comes to answering detail ? On the contained scene like fact first cop after checking on victim which they dead so they should of blocked it off until investigator got their not bunch of want be . This guy telling juror that gun in their murder weapon even through bullet didn't even match they at same time telling juror Alex got rid weapon you go by time line he didn't have enough time . Only reason these lying cops prosecutor didn't search mom dad house until month later so they could lie to junior say Alex got rid of it he had lot of time . Lies people .this murder was set up by someone cops seem like on propose made sure crime scene wasn't contain made sure Alex only the one they ever look at . These same investigator that investigated the boat wreck . Sounds like all set up . People foolish if they don't think prosecutor don't lie fooling them self.
@@jlotoo850Yes, he definitely has money stashed somewhere. I’m thinking it’s in some off shore account rather than in the ground. I’ve heard of people with high tolerance taking 10-20 30mg OC’s a day and doing it for several years, but eventually they all move over to heroine or fentanyl, because it’s cheaper and easier to get. However, 66 pills a day is unheard of.
I agree.. i have had 2 spinal surgeries.. ive been on pain management for 12 yrs.. i am prescribed Lortab 10 (Hydrocodone).. IF!! I take 2 at one time.. i am very nauseous in about an hour.. A.M. & I are close in age & size.. he 55 & I am 60.. he is approx 6'4" @ 245lbs.. I am 6'2" @ 235.. I KNEW he was lying about all the pain pills he was taking.. He would be DEAD!!
35:40 when he asked, "what lie?" The prosecution had to have almost lost it. They had been discussing the lie for some time and for him to say "what lie" I almost hit the floor too😂
That was not lost on the jury. At some point they must have started to take all these lies personally. I know I would find it insulting to my intelligence.
I think so so too. I think he killed Paul because of the boating accident. He’s like you little shit how dare you threaten to undo the family legacy, and sully the family name!! Now because of you, they’re gonna drag my lies out into the open!
Very good point. I can’t remember exactly where I heard it now if it was something Mr. Waters said during the trial or an interview after (probably the latter) that Alex was such an effective liar because he would include a number of truths in his story and would deviate from the truth in subtle ways at different times. This made him sound more convincing in his presentation and for people listening to him it made everything more convincing because they could identify many things which were clearly true. Alex also made the statement that whoever did the murders had been thinking about it for a while. Again… sounded like he was talking about someone else but clearly all himself
@@Lmberjosh The jurors that spoke after the trial said the same thing. That he would add truth to the lies to sound more convincing. I noticed that too. Sometimes he was too honest for his own good, like when they asked about why the dogs didn't respond to any strangers being on the property and Alex said, "No one was on the property that they didn't know."
@@FredD.Krueger that was quite a statement wasn’t it. He moved on from it pretty quickly but if you let that sink in it is very telling. Having him take the stand was a big gamble but they had really been backed in to a corner with the Snapchat video - which of course Alex didn’t know existed when he claimed over and over again he was never at the kennels- and witness after witness testifying with certainty that it was his voice in the video. I think having him testify was part desperation and part arrogance believing he was such a bs artist that he could get up there and sell the revised story. There were parts of his testimony where he actually sounded convincing too but especially toward the end, after the prosecution had just worn him down getting him to acknowledge all those financial crimes, he did not seem convincing at all.
He’s 100% right that the boat crash was the ultimate cause of the shootings, except that it wasn’t some random shooter instead it was actually him. Paul & Maggi where a liability to the family’s name and reputation and fora family who’ve been the law in that county for over 80 years they’ve got a lot to protect.
Agree. As per the sister in law it was get rid of boating liability via Paul death and golden child Buster to law school. He never worried about who had killed her sister Mags!
His life was over effectively. Bankrupt re boating accident, divorced, life in jail. Always makes me wonder why people say how or why can men (mostly) do it. It’s obvious why even if we don’t agree on reasons but for one reason or another he lost it all anyway. May as well take 2 of the causes down with him. It’s a very different question why most simply take such losses on the chin. He doesn’t regret it at all. It’s justice in his mind - very important to a lawyer
Why did he take everyone through this trial, they offered him some type of deal he should have taken it! Why further shame your family and friends? Admit your wrong and beg for mercy and grace
@@anyetalael191 Cause he doesn't think the way NORMAL people do cause he is a psychopath, or sociopath. He can't think like we do and he never will. Prison will be the best place for him. He will no longer be able to manipulate and hurt people on the outside.
The prosecutor is too jokeee 😅😅when he says “ anything else you want to add? Since you’ve been adding something new every time. Even after lunch we’ve got some new ones” 🤣🤣
@@TennesseeRockMom They can't object to things their own people are doing. Like Mr Griffen couldn't object to what his client- Mr Murdaugh answers; or he couldn't object to a question Mr Harpoolian(sp?) asks. If that's what you meant?
Even if he didn't kill them he was with them at the time of the murders which may be the reason why an innocent man would lie. Because he realizes he'd get pinned falsely.
In the cop's bodycam video on the night of the murders, Alex clearly stated that he was not at the kennels and had not seen his wife and son for 45 minutes before he left to visit his mother, but he didn't account for his son Paul doing a video that included his voice presence at 8:42 pm and Alex's digital footprint showing his movements, when he lied about the sequence of events. He decided early to lie.
Definitely... even when he said 45min the last time he saw them and making those crazy noises trying to get his conversation together make his self look clean....he knows the deal and he's giving another defence
This is correct and important. I'm disappointed that the prosecution relied on this circumstantial evidence. I believe he is guilty or at least troubled enough to habitually lie about what he knows in those moments by the kennel. Given that he's guilty, couldn't they produce the actual direct evidence instead of exposing his character? I mean, there has to be direct evidence somewhere at this point. Why didn't they produce it? Not the best prosecution or forensic investigation.
I believe after just watching the bodycam earlier today he first told the first responding officer about an hour and a half or 2 hours. If anyone wants to go double check but I'm pretty sure the very first contact he was saying much longer than 45 min on the scene
When he testified that Paul’s phone fell outta Paul’s pocket and he put it back, I bet he mentally kicked himself for putting it back. That was divine intervention, cuz that video of his voice (when he said he wasn’t there)!is what truly stamped his guilt for me! Lies just flow freely from his lips, like you and I breathe.
Who calls their 19-year-old son a "little dude"? In his mind, Paul died years ago. The alcoholism, autism, irresponsibility, losing the family fortune from killing that young girl, and all of his nefarious behavior. Paul was a complete disappointment. Calling out his drug use was the last straw.
Yes! AM had an up coming court date with Mark Tinsley for the Mallory Beach case. AM was going to have to pay $10 million as a settlement, but claimed he was “broke”. So I think he murdered Paul and Maggie to get insurance money off of them.
No he knew what that gun could do what he didn’t know what that that buck shot to his chest didn’t blow a hole in it bc of trajectory and was caught off guard and was bent over trying to grab other gun for MAGS, and shot him at a weird angle and way closer than before so he knew the damage it could cause what he didn’t know was Paul not dying after first shot.
What Paul did was open wide the kind of person he was..a full blown homicidal maniac ,capable of killing anyone that interfered with his goals even his own flesh…!
@@onlyhereforthecomments6367 it makes me sick to my stomach knowing the last thing Paul and Maggie saw was him brutally murdered them. Someone that they trusted and loved.
I wish I could believe that, but surely he would've known that. He was a hunter and they used guns all the time. It is doubtful he didn't know what damage that gun would do to a human.
39:40 - "and you're able to do that so easily and so convincingly and so naturally, don't you?" "Well that's not for me to judge." "That's true." That shit is better dialogue than fiction.
It’s cliche but you can just see that this guy is an empty husk of a human. A stone cold psychopath. The guy has zero ability to show emotion and is blatantly acting how he thinks one should act under his circumstances. You can just look into his eyes and see that there is no soul to be found. With the amount of murders and suspicious deaths surrounding this guy it’s clear as day that he is extremely dangerous. If free he would continue to kill until the police stopped him. Get this man off the streets forever or else more people will fall victim to this monster.
He's completely oblivious to how unnatural his responses, comments, and overall demeanor is in every bodycam, interview, 911 call & on the witness stand. In his mind, he really thinks he's successfully portraying human behavior that falls within the norm. He cant understand why anyone would express disbelief or continue to ask him questions that become more specific in nature because of his ambiguous responses. People are mere expendable, disposable objects to him. I'm grateful the jury saw and felt what most of us did!
He can rationalize and lie about absolutely anything instantly. The cross exam showed it in condensed form with little or no time to smooth over the last fabricated "I believe" and "I remember clearly" "I lied about going to the kennel" 'No big' He has admitted very little, and nothing personal. "I lied, I stole money that didn't belong to me..." "If that's what the data shows"
Alex has done his best to confuse and muddy the information of testimony from him, but he vehemently denied stating that he said anything about the Boating Accident being related to the murders, when the cop's bodycam proves otherwise, with it being the first thing he was telling the cop upon the cop's arrival at the property. Doesn't this court believe in perjury while under oath??
Any defendant who professes their innocence but is then found guilty is technically guilty of perjury. The fact they are found guilty usually precludes pursuing a whole other prosecution and associated costs, though. Big game hunters aren't going to spend their time swatting flies.
1:29:48 look at the murderous gaze he throws at Prosecutor for playing that footage. Wow. What a GREAT way to end the cross. This prosecutor did an amazing job. He got the conviction and really hammered Alex last 2 days of cross
Yeah, the defense team just let it play out At that point they had given up. Their closing was a weak effort. They also know that this talk of appeal is just that. Talk.
just hope it sticks..they have already put in an appeal…! if that’s not disgraceful…! no respect for the law in this country…..,as if this trail didn’t have any meaning…! didn’t count for anything..! what a disgrace. buffooning the judges verdict..the intricate cross examination.., which took forever.., with patience , tolerating ..the defendant’s refutations ..,the prosecution had to put up with..; how can that be…!
@@jetblack1211 appeals in this case are a formality. It will absolutely stick. There was not a shred of as activity in this trial that would justify any of the appeals his lawyers have filed. Judge Newman is renouned for running a fair, clean courtroom and he did a magnificent job in this case too.
He was so confindent when he first got on the stand but over the course of craighton questioning you can watch alex get quieter and quieter. Alex knew he lost, the lawyers knew he lost and so did the people in that court room. Nobody believed him. It was game over
Alex didn't answer a single question, not one, he literally had to bob and weave the easiest and simplest of questions. Did Alex really think that if he "out lawyered" the prosecution he would create reasonable doubt? He just came off like a complete psycho narcissist.
I'm starting to think he killed them because he knew Maggie would divorce him once she found out about the stealing. Paul was killed over the boat accident because he had to use that as an excuse for the killers to be after them. it was a perfect storm for him...
This! He had already put almost everything in her name....Mallory Beach's attorney wanting legitimate financials distracted him, made him careless, exposed his theft from the firm and poor clients. What else could stop his downfall (and disgrace of the family name), give him more time to calculate a plan...because he was now the poor victim...no jury would convict the full extent with that personal tragedy and attempt on His life by the killers...while keeping the millions safe being willed to Buster, who he could easily manipulate, who totally believes Alex is innocent.
Every SINGLE question asked by the prosecution he disagreed with. Even if it was just that he disagreed with a choice of a word. Every SINGLE question asked by the defense he agreed with. And that lip smacking....that's a tell. He says "at no time was my phone, Maggie's phone, and my vehicle ever in the same place at the same time." Because HE made sure of it. He moved Maggie's phone on the golf cart while his phone was in the house. Not hard to figure it out. He thinks he is so smart LOL
I agree, he took Maggies phone & threw it out with the golf cart, no GPS with a golf cart. Came back & didn't think anything relevant or damning on Paul's phone so left it. STUPID serves him right, so glad the video nailed him.
@@bissbling4158 I also think it's entirely possible that he put Maggie's phone in a Faraday bag! The defense made such a big deal about how that bag would prevent the phone from accessing the cell tower and GPS which would have obscured how her phone was moved by Alex.
@@thewellfedhuman3043 Thats a good point & possibly most likely. He had it planned pretty well until he didn't. First time I've even heard of a faraday bag.
@@lorrainepollock7333 who is bullying you weirdo nobody said shit to your soft ass. Honey the internet is not for people that will kill themselves over what a stranger thinks of them get a grip or get off the net.
Imagine living in this community, where this man and his father can sit behind someone accused of a crime...and that makes an impact, that is also creepy
This is a classic example of pathological liar case if you are following this court hearing. Those students of psychiatry and psychology will learn a lot of this hearing. Very difficult to pin point the truth and the lie because the subject is expert of the law himself and he knows very well what the prosecutor is looking for.
@Duncan Paul. Alex was asked if he remembered his last words to Maggie and Paul. He couldn’t remember!! Alex testified he ‘might’ have said something like I’m leaving or goodbye and that he would not have left (to return to house) without saying something. He couldn’t come up with anything! I, like most people, easily remember my last conversations with loved ones.
@@kayjones3689 ya but the problem is you cant teach intuition, social sense, understanding deceptive behaviors and actions. You, like myself have at least a decent natural ability to feel and understand the above. The people that believe him innocent, or that there wasnt enough for a guilty verdict. They leave comments indicating that they lack the ability to discern deceptive behaviors, actions and language and i mean completely because murda has shown the exact same pattern of deceptive behaviors, actions and language with every single interview, interrogation, and testimony. Smh, amazingly people cant see his patterns and how relevant his sudden memory loss happens at key crucial moments. Hes not even a sophisticated liar. Red flags immediately popped up by the dozens all through the first cruiser interview, before i could digest the information consciously and go through it. My bs alarm and normal instincts picked up so much deception and im not special lol. Its alarming how many people just completely lack the ability to understand motives, patterns, and understand the significance of those patterns in correlation to the topic smh. Glad you do thoughn
The end of Waters cross was like a Perry Mason moment. The best part is when he said no further questions and did not give Alex a chance to talk anymore. Brilliant !!!
The jury was seated a few feet away and looking for tears during the crying bouts. One juror said later that he was looking for tears, "all he did was blow snot."
Kudos to Mr. Waters, this guy thought he could stand on a lie and still out perform Mr. Waters and the truth but ultimately got slam dunked. Great job prosecution team.
The exchange beginning at 39:39 when the prosecutor says “and you’re able to just do that [lie] so easily and so convincingly and so naturally [aren’t] you?” and without missing a beat Alex responds, “I mean, that’s not for me to judge” is truly chilling. The murderous look in Alex’s eyes and his set-in-stone grimace as he tracks the prosecutor’s movements across the courtroom at 39:57 like a predator about to strike and kill his prey is terrifying. I’ve watched his entire testimony and cross-examination as well as both the HBO and Netflix docuseries and this is the first time throughout all those many hours spent hearing about and directly from Alex Murdaugh when I could see that he had let his carefully rehearsed guard down for one unintended moment and was finally showing us his true colors. And those true colors scare the living daylights out of me.
John B - You speak my mind 😭 I paused at the very moment you mentioned to see if anyone else picked that up and there you were. He was so sure that he was getting away with murder. He left the phone in the house to make it appear that he was sleeping when it happened - to establish “an alibi” so to speak. So full of confidence in the police interview. He was enjoying his lies, thinking he was so good to have fooled everyone. Almost all, but for the victim 😢
2 weeks prior to the murder - Paul asked him to get an appointment "as soon as is convenient", and even sends a picture of his feet. But how many times does Alex tell the story about the conversation with Maggie about being worried because PauPau's feet are swollen and claiming Paul had a resistance to go to the doctor? He says a lot about "I knew all along the data would show it" "I know from being an attorney my phone records would give information so what good would it do to lie" -- You just found your wife and child brutally murdered - what do you talk about? Finding who did it? How terrible it is? What am I gonna do! No, he mentions his phone a few times right out of the gate, and say about picking up Pauls phone. And having the , I don't know, to know I better leave it there.
"Coz I can tell you for a FACT, that the person or people who did what I saw on June the 7th, they hated Paul Murdaugh and they had anger in their heart," 21:50 He practically just confessed. Btw, have anyone revisited this trial from time to time like I did?
It wouldn't have changed the verdict outcome. This was his super feeble attempt at a courtroom Hail Mary. He knew he was going to be found guilty either way.
This is a Circus. A Soap Opera. Alex is a purely a Comidian and a liar. It seems like he doesn't give damn, he knows he is going down. So nothing to loose at this point🤣🤣
I love the prosecution patience, and how they let him cover in his own lies...he even ask him to talk more. If this man verdict is NOT GUILTY ...THEN GOD HAVE MERCY OF AMERICA....
The prosecution has done a good job proving guilt. The On Star and phone records proved he killed his family and threw Maggie's phone. AM is a disgusting waste of skin.
@@wardog2016 Maggie's phone connected to AM vehicle after he got her phone after he murdered his family. I will stick with the sheep as you say. AM got 2 life sentences!!!! Even the judge said the jury got it right!!! Bless your heart!!
Shame. & The calls I heard on YT before trial he always references "when I get out of here" as if he knew all along he was going to get away with it. EVIL man.
The whole trial he wore a tailored suit, when he testified he wore one that was too big. It makes him look old and puny. It was all a cherade put on by Alick
Alex didn't hear the gun shots?? He didn't go and check the well-beings of both of them?? The dogs would have gone ballistic if there were strangers around!!
Something this “fair” judge didn’t allow into evidence was the test they conducted from the house with sound equipment and people that resulted in proving there certainly could be gunshots from the kennels that were not heard from the house.
"I tried to turn him over,you know, I figured it out, his cellphone popped out of his pocket, I tired to do something with it" 😮 like unlock it alex????
I watched this a second time, so that I could get a good laugh again ! I was crying while C. Waters named all the people that he had lied too…I lost it🤣🤣💪💯
Prosecutor is a beast. He is a wrecking ball when he is locked in on his prey. Kudos to him and his team.
Very impressive.
There were a few spots where some of the related crimes had been sort of off limits up to that point in the trial but then the defense did something which created an opportunity and the prosecution jumped on it. One was when the defense was questioning Maggie’s sister and the roadside shooting came up. The defense questioning opened the door just a little bit and the prosecutor jumped on it immediately
Hahaha. You're an ass. The prosecutor was acting like he was in a movie the whole time. People burst out laughing at his little attempts to show his acting 😆

@@anthonysteve1400 you don't believe "Alex is completely innocent"? What does that even mean? Dude is/was 100% guilty of these murders.
I love that Alex states that Paw Paw and he leave guns and clothes everywhere, drunkenly crash boats but they would DEFINITELY only park a golf cart a certain way. So absurd.
😂
😂😂😂
The whole family is nothing but a former slave owing privileged low life narcissistic.
& it's exactly those things that resonates with a jury & leads them to believe....or not....
The level of detail & description about parking the golf cart & how the family was to go about doing that was ridiculous. But he couldn't remember his last words with his wife or son. Couldn't remember what he all did on the most tragic night of his life.
An innocent victim would have the events of that night burned into their brain & be haunted by it. Why they survived & his wife & son didn't.
What a bunch of BS. Murdaugh is a piece of work faking vagueness & forgetfulness. But it's hard to keep all the little details of a lie straight. Especially if a person has to tell a lie filled story over & over. Conversely, the truth should flow easily. Wasn't much truth to Alex's tale.
Very good cross examination & patience Mr. Waters had.
Creighton Waters' strategy to let him just talk and talk on and on was brilliant.
Waters is killing this liar. It's almost looking like we’re witnessing a murder. This liar thought he was that good? Nope.
His refusal to give any information that was not in the record approach sealed his fate.
Creighton waters was the one who kept the cross examination going an going lol. He always says " We are gonna get to that" he went through every nook and cranny and tried to drive home the most Important parts. I feel he couldve did without all the fraudulent talk he literally went through every person who got money stolen from them . I mean this was a murder case and I think we all agree he had motivation with all those people he stole from really we all know the him lying about being at the kennels literally 3 minutes before they think they were murdered said it all right there nothing more really had to be said cause how would he know when to lie about being there if noone was supposed to know when they died not even him? That's why he was convicted because once he lied about that in the very beginning in the truck noone was supposed to know there time of death not even him but Paul Snapchat closed the case . It was a wrap for him after that.
Why was he never concerned that the “so called” killer or killers were still not on his property while calling his family members?
Or 911
He claimed he was concerned about that and that's why he went back up to the house and got a gun while he was still on the phone with the 911 operator. He even told the 911 operator that he was concerned about that.
Part of his mind set. He’s a psycho-narcissist

Too easy, that word gets thrown around too easily to anyone most people presume is guilty to the point it really becomes meaningless. "Oh he's killed his partner or family etc, he's a narcissist" what does that tell you?, nothing, it's a circular argument

Awesome, wasn’t it?! 😆
I heard that at same time I read your comment 😅
RANDOM vigilantes that didn't bring their own guns.
😂he said 5’2 vigilantes. I wondered what Waters said before Vigilantes.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I love the story of the Black Panthers and Navy Seals😂😂. We knew our cousin had a serious mental illness when she said she woke up to a clown and a cowboy in her bedroom. I said that’s weird because they don't hang out with each other

He’s a damn good liar and actor except he couldn’t produce real tears. He is really unbelievable.
Same here, keep watching them too. I’ve always wondered who put the dogs away. I think it is obvious that it was Alec, or he definitely helped put them away. It just further proves his guilt in my opinion. We know Bubba was out because he had a chicken, and at least one other dog I think. We know that all of the dogs were put in before the murders, and Paul was killed in the feed room. He was probably getting food to feed the dogs, that he and his father just put away. Maggie was probably just waiting for them to feed the dogs, and they’d all head back to the house. Planned and executed.
Waters picked him apart limb by limb. A truly masterful prosecution plan and strategy. They knew everything that was going to be said before Alex even said it, and threw it back in his face with hard evidence. Perfectly done.
So obvious who was the better lawyer, the proscecutor or Alex. He sure proves that if you represent yourself or take the stand in your own defense, you are a FOOL.
Yes, the prosecutor did not ask any question that he did not already know the answer. Impressive.
The desire to be so precise and detailed on irrelevant things and his inability to be detailed about the important things is truly unacceptable.
Gosh yes I noticed his detailitis on insignificant things but the real questions he can’t answer!
If I was the prosecutor I would have used 9/11 as an example. I was only 16 and I can recall a lot of details from that day, all this time later. Now imagine you find your son with his brain removed from his head, your wife shot dead in a pool of blood, two years prior, and you can't recall details from that? Sketchy!
That crap the Murdaugh's being a "CLOSE" family is pure "BULLSHIT". Look where they're all sitting!?
They didn't even speak to each other. Randy sat there stiff as a board. Not looking around at anyone!!!

He’s such a liar. His eyes are scary looking, they are just dark, empty, blank pits. His son Paul’s brain had to be bagged and transported/examined separate from (and obviously out) of his body, the gruesome nature of how that looked that even I can’t think about it too long because it’s just so heinous to imagine. However, after “finding” both his wife Maggie and one of their sons shot dead in a blood bath, seeing his son in that way, yet afterwards he even has the ability to talk to detectives in a car with no shock, sadness, blood, devastation, uncontrollably emotions, he’s sitting there talking about sunflower seeds being planted but more bothersome is he had the mind and ability to lie, after what he witnessed. His mind shouldn’t be on overdrive but for himself, concocting stories and blatant lies. I’d be catatonic. They’d have to bring me out in a bag with them because I’d truly be done for (if godforbid.) Yet he’s sitting there blank, and it’s not a in shock blank because he was very much talking and answering questions, engaging with the other three in the car and wasn’t in shock to right away try and throw the boat accident up. That’s calculated. That was rehearsed. That was not shock. It was all self serving and he didn’t give a damn about finding justice but instead (and like most murders/family annihilators) don't tell/retell but instead sell, and it’s almost always for their own benefit.
Two life sentences is justice yeah however he still has the gift of life, waking up and living regardless where he does it.
Why do family annihilators mess up by getting their evil selves in some kind of trouble or bind and always make their families pay the price-the ultimate price-with their lives? Anthony Todt did this. Watts and Peterson wanted out with “the old and in with the new,” obviously this filthy roach, Coleman, just to name a few (which is still a few too many.) Why not just have it be them who take a permanent nap? These are rhetorical questions because there’s simply no justification for their crimes and to try and search or find some rationale is impossible-there is none.
Well done to the prosecution and Dr. Kinsey was remarkable.

@washcaps71 I think just expense keeping up with millions dollars homes college for kids plus he's spending that why he stealing. just like all lawyers do. He just got greedy started trying steal all of it . All lawyers steall from people. all lawyers lies including prosecutor ,judges . that why you suppose to be open minded be able to fan out both lawyers bull s . Lies judges. almost always go long with prosecutor lines bs lies . Just like this murder trial should of been not focus on stealing money lies . But Bec prosecutor getting away with lying to jury. Bec judge letting them . Like the fact they didn't even seal off crime scene release it in 24 hrs then wanted to search mom dad house what 3 months later are f kidding me . These juror didnt do good job being open minded go through evidence the fact police screw whole crime scene up their no way they search 1,400 acre in 24 hrs . The cops that should of stood back that think it ok to contained the whole crime scene . Lying about Maggie blood being on the gun if it easy could of transfer from cops sloppy crime scene work . that even juror didnt even caught they clearly wasn't able to fan out bs verse actual evidence. They are only focused on lying not actual evidence . Far as Alex can't remember detail . Listen to them cops when they are on stand lying they can't recall when it comes to answering detail ? On the contained scene like fact first cop after checking on victim which they dead so they should of blocked it off until investigator got their not bunch of want be . This guy telling juror that gun in their murder weapon even through bullet didn't even match they at same time telling juror Alex got rid weapon you go by time line he didn't have enough time . Only reason these lying cops prosecutor didn't search mom dad house until month later so they could lie to junior say Alex got rid of it he had lot of time . Lies people .this murder was set up by someone cops seem like on propose made sure crime scene wasn't contain made sure Alex only the one they ever look at . These same investigator that investigated the boat wreck . Sounds like all set up . People foolish if they don't think prosecutor don't lie fooling them self.
@@jlotoo850Yes, he definitely has money stashed somewhere. I’m thinking it’s in some off shore account rather than in the ground.

I would have answered, what did you say “Which Lie”? To let the jurors know “ because he’s told so many lies.”
Thats a move. Its feigned ignorance. Its a ridiculous attempt to break Waters momentum and flow.
“Boom! I have paranoid thoughts!” No, thats legitimate fear of getting caught committing a crime!
So much so that the jury must have taken it as an insult to their intelligence. This bumpkin deserves everything he is getting.
That was not lost on the jury. At some point they must have started to take all these lies personally. I know I would find it insulting to my intelligence.
He actually was telling the truth about whoever did those murders was mad about the boat accident. He was speaking of himself.
I think so so too. I think he killed Paul because of the boating accident. He’s like you little shit how dare you threaten to undo the family legacy, and sully the family name!! Now because of you, they’re gonna drag my lies out into the open!
Very good point. I can’t remember exactly where I heard it now if it was something Mr. Waters said during the trial or an interview after (probably the latter) that Alex was such an effective liar because he would include a number of truths in his story and would deviate from the truth in subtle ways at different times. This made him sound more convincing in his presentation and for people listening to him it made everything more convincing because they could identify many things which were clearly true.
Alex also made the statement that whoever did the murders had been thinking about it for a while. Again… sounded like he was talking about someone else but clearly all himself
@@Lmberjosh The jurors that spoke after the trial said the same thing. That he would add truth to the lies to sound more convincing. I noticed that too. Sometimes he was too honest for his own good, like when they asked about why the dogs didn't respond to any strangers being on the property and Alex said, "No one was on the property that they didn't know."
@@FredD.Krueger that was quite a statement wasn’t it. He moved on from it pretty quickly but if you let that sink in it is very telling. Having him take the stand was a big gamble but they had really been backed in to a corner with the Snapchat video - which of course Alex didn’t know existed when he claimed over and over again he was never at the kennels- and witness after witness testifying with certainty that it was his voice in the video. I think having him testify was part desperation and part arrogance believing he was such a bs artist that he could get up there and sell the revised story. There were parts of his testimony where he actually sounded convincing too but especially toward the end, after the prosecution had just worn him down getting him to acknowledge all those financial crimes, he did not seem convincing at all.

His life was over effectively. Bankrupt re boating accident, divorced, life in jail. Always makes me wonder why people say how or why can men (mostly) do it.

In the cop's bodycam video on the night of the murders, Alex clearly stated that he was not at the kennels and had not seen his wife and son for 45 minutes before he left to visit his mother, but he didn't account for his son Paul doing a video that included his voice presence at 8:42 pm and Alex's digital footprint showing his movements, when he lied about the sequence of events. He decided early to lie.
Definitely... even when he said 45min the last time he saw them and making those crazy noises trying to get his conversation together make his self look clean....he knows the deal and he's giving another defence
he lied so effortlessly just like he lied about an assailant shooting him..
This is correct and important. I'm disappointed that the prosecution relied on this circumstantial evidence. I believe he is guilty or at least troubled enough to habitually lie about what he knows in those moments by the kennel. Given that he's guilty, couldn't they produce the actual direct evidence instead of exposing his character? I mean, there has to be direct evidence somewhere at this point. Why didn't they produce it? Not the best prosecution or forensic investigation.
I believe after just watching the bodycam earlier today he first told the first responding officer about an hour and a half or 2 hours. If anyone wants to go double check but I'm pretty sure the very first contact he was saying much longer than 45 min on the scene
When he testified that Paul’s phone fell outta Paul’s pocket and he put it back, I bet he mentally kicked himself for putting it back. That was divine intervention, cuz that video of his voice (when he said he wasn’t there)!is what truly stamped his guilt for me! Lies just flow freely from his lips, like you and I breathe.
Who calls their 19-year-old son a "little dude"? In his mind, Paul died years ago. The alcoholism, autism, irresponsibility, losing the family fortune from killing that young girl, and all of his nefarious behavior. Paul was a complete disappointment. Calling out his drug use was the last straw.

Yes! AM had an up coming court date with Mark Tinsley for the Mallory Beach case. AM was going to have to pay $10 million as a settlement, but claimed he was “broke”. So I think he murdered Paul and Maggie to get insurance money off of them.
No he knew what that gun could do what he didn’t know what that that buck shot to his chest didn’t blow a hole in it bc of trajectory and was caught off guard and was bent over trying to grab other gun for MAGS, and shot him at a weird angle and way closer than before so he knew the damage it could cause what he didn’t know was Paul not dying after first shot.
What Paul did was open wide the kind of person he was..a full blown homicidal maniac ,capable of killing anyone that interfered with his goals even his own flesh…!
@@onlyhereforthecomments6367 it makes me sick to my stomach knowing the last thing Paul and Maggie saw was him brutally murdered them. Someone that they trusted and loved.

@@KhloeJayeSpeaksFacts They knew it was over. They were thinking about how to make it a mistrial at that point
He was so confindent when he first got on the stand but over the course of craighton questioning you can watch alex get quieter and quieter. Alex knew he lost, the lawyers knew he lost and so did the people in that court room. Nobody believed him. It was game over
Yeah, he couldn't wait to get up there and lie, lol
That’s the truth, he seems to be worn out as the cross examination continues
Alex didn't answer a single question, not one, he literally had to bob and weave the easiest and simplest of questions. Did Alex really think that if he "out lawyered" the prosecution he would create reasonable doubt? He just came off like a complete psycho narcissist.
I'm starting to think he killed them because he knew Maggie would divorce him once she found out about the stealing. Paul was killed over the boat accident because he had to use that as an excuse for the killers to be after them. it was a perfect storm for him...
This! He had already put almost everything in her name....Mallory Beach's attorney wanting legitimate financials distracted him, made him careless, exposed his theft from the firm and poor clients. What else could stop his downfall (and disgrace of the family name), give him more time to calculate a plan...because he was now the poor victim...no jury would convict the full extent with that personal tragedy and attempt on His life by the killers...while keeping the millions safe being willed to Buster, who he could easily manipulate, who totally believes Alex is innocent.
I understand having an attorney to make sure the process is done fair legally, but to try to get a liar murderer off. is bizarre to me.
Yeah at some point they should be like "okay y'all are right" lol. That would have been awesome
Even more bizarre when you learn who his attorneys are exactly.
That last gotcha moment with Prosecuter Waters was fantastic! Incredible to watch Gotcha Alex Murdaugh!
Every SINGLE question asked by the prosecution he disagreed with. Even if it was just that he disagreed with a choice of a word. Every SINGLE question asked by the defense he agreed with. And that lip smacking....that's a tell. He says "at no time was my phone, Maggie's phone, and my vehicle ever in the same place at the same time." Because HE made sure of it. He moved Maggie's phone on the golf cart while his phone was in the house. Not hard to figure it out. He thinks he is so smart LOL
I agree, he took Maggies phone & threw it out with the golf cart, no GPS with a golf cart. Came back & didn't think anything relevant or damning on Paul's phone so left it. STUPID serves him right, so glad the video nailed him.
@@bissbling4158 I also think it's entirely possible that he put Maggie's phone in a Faraday bag! The defense made such a big deal about how that bag would prevent the phone from accessing the cell tower and GPS which would have obscured how her phone was moved by Alex.
@@thewellfedhuman3043 Thats a good point & possibly most likely. He had it planned pretty well until he didn't. First time I've even heard of a faraday bag.
He said hi to the Fire truck and then went back to crying!!! LOL!
The video at the kennel is the proof of where he was at the time at the murder
That's how suicides happen because of bullying on social media sites .
So crazy that Paul decided to record in the kennel before getting killed. Fuck Alex
He called Paul’s friend to try & get password from him to get in Paul’s phone & go through it
@@kaygee5292 when?
@@lorrainepollock7333 who is bullying you weirdo nobody said shit to your soft ass. Honey the internet is not for people that will kill themselves over what a stranger thinks of them get a grip or get off the net.
Gloria's $4.3million was stolen and Alex let bank foreclose the mobile home of his brother! How cold!
Imagine living in this community, where this man and his father can sit behind someone accused of a crime...and that makes an impact, that is also creepy
This is a classic example of pathological liar case if you are following this court hearing. Those students of psychiatry and psychology will learn a lot of this hearing. Very difficult to pin point the truth and the lie because the subject is expert of the law himself and he knows very well what the prosecutor is looking for.
they should've ask him.. what was their last words to you when you lastt saw them alive....did they ask him that question
It wasn't difficult whatsoever to see and hear when hes being deceptive lol.
@Duncan Paul. Alex was asked if he remembered his last words to Maggie and Paul. He couldn’t remember!! Alex testified he ‘might’ have said something like I’m leaving or goodbye and that he would not have left (to return to house) without saying something. He couldn’t come up with anything! I, like most people, easily remember my last conversations with loved ones.
@@kayjones3689 wow that's horrible..he remembers he's to shame to say it outloud
@@kayjones3689 ya but the problem is you cant teach intuition, social sense, understanding deceptive behaviors and actions. You, like myself have at least a decent natural ability to feel and understand the above. The people that believe him innocent, or that there wasnt enough for a guilty verdict. They leave comments indicating that they lack the ability to discern deceptive behaviors, actions and language and i mean completely because murda has shown the exact same pattern of deceptive behaviors, actions and language with every single interview, interrogation, and testimony. Smh, amazingly people cant see his patterns and how relevant his sudden memory loss happens at key crucial moments. Hes not even a sophisticated liar. Red flags immediately popped up by the dozens all through the first cruiser interview, before i could digest the information consciously and go through it. My bs alarm and normal instincts picked up so much deception and im not special lol. Its alarming how many people just completely lack the ability to understand motives, patterns, and understand the significance of those patterns in correlation to the topic smh. Glad you do thoughn
What a liar! He’s a terrible liar, talks too much. He killed his son and wife
Look at his face when prosecution pauses between questions. He clenches his jaw and narrows his eyes. That’s an evil being.
Very! His eyes tell it all
Yeah you would to if a police agency falsified evidence and accused you of murdering your wife and Son. He's a thief but he didn't kill them
I mean...I didn't see any tears when he was crying in the car. Did any of you?
Nope. And… the 911 call. He literally turned on when they answered. They were recording him before they even answered. Not a sniffle.
Nope. None
The more he talks the guiltier he becomes
He just can't keep his mouth shut. He just can't do it.
The end of Waters cross was like a Perry Mason moment. The best part is when he said no further questions and did not give Alex a chance to talk anymore. Brilliant !!!
I love the ' nothing further' after exposing his lie about why he lied about not being at the kennels.
He makes you WANT to believe he’s that family loving man who put Maggie and the boys above all else….but he just reeks of lies and betrayal.
The jury was seated a few feet away and looking for tears during the crying bouts. One juror said later that he was looking for tears, "all he did was blow snot."
Kudos to Mr. Waters, this guy thought he could stand on a lie and still out perform Mr. Waters and the truth but ultimately got slam dunked. Great job prosecution team.
What a tangled web.
The exchange beginning at 39:39 when the prosecutor says “and you’re able to just do that [lie] so easily and so convincingly and so naturally [aren’t] you?” and without missing a beat Alex responds, “I mean, that’s not for me to judge” is truly chilling. The murderous look in Alex’s eyes and his set-in-stone grimace as he tracks the prosecutor’s movements across the courtroom at 39:57 like a predator about to strike and kill his prey is terrifying. I’ve watched his entire testimony and cross-examination as well as both the HBO and Netflix docuseries and this is the first time throughout all those many hours spent hearing about and directly from Alex Murdaugh when I could see that he had let his carefully rehearsed guard down for one unintended moment and was finally showing us his true colors. And those true colors scare the living daylights out of me.
John B - You speak my mind 😭 I paused at the very moment you mentioned to see if anyone else picked that up and there you were. He was so sure that he was getting away with murder. He left the phone in the house to make it appear that he was sleeping when it happened - to establish “an alibi” so to speak. So full of confidence in the police interview. He was enjoying his lies, thinking he was so good to have fooled everyone. Almost all, but for the victim 😢
@@curiousmind3118 u
@@curiousmind3118 you are so right I picked it up. Also he is the most evil person. I am so happy that he is where he is cold blooded killer
Lol
What a pussy! I wish I were in a room alone with him. And we'll see who is more scared! Cus I'll fuck him up so bad his own momma won't recognize him
2 weeks prior to the murder - Paul asked him to get an appointment "as soon as is convenient", and even sends a picture of his feet.
But how many times does Alex tell the story about the conversation with Maggie about being worried because PauPau's feet are swollen and claiming Paul had a resistance to go to the doctor?
He says a lot about "I knew all along the data would show it"
"I know from being an attorney my phone records would give information so what good would it do to lie"
-- You just found your wife and child brutally murdered - what do you talk about? Finding who did it? How terrible it is? What am I gonna do!
No, he mentions his phone a few times right out of the gate,
and say about picking up Pauls phone. And having the , I don't know, to know I better leave it there.
"Coz I can tell you for a FACT, that the person or people who did what I saw on June the 7th, they hated Paul Murdaugh and they had anger in their heart," 21:50
He practically just confessed. Btw, have anyone revisited this trial from time to time like I did?
I do, weekly. Merdick
YES! It’s golden b/c I LOVE to watch Creighton Waters methodically paint AM into a corner.
It's like a really good movie that's based on a true story lol.
This man will forever hate himself for taking the stand. What was he thinking?
Let's hope he forever hates himself for blowing his wife and sons brains out the whole reason he was on trial in the first place.
He wasn't
Had it not been for the kennel video I doubt he would have. His testifying was out of desperation
It wouldn't have changed the verdict outcome. This was his super feeble attempt at a courtroom Hail Mary. He knew he was going to be found guilty either way.
I just want to see justice for Stephen Smith.
Stephen deserves double justice, one for him and again for his chin.
I lied about everything to everyone… but trust me on this one thing . Hilarious
This is a Circus. A Soap Opera. Alex is a purely a Comidian and a liar. It seems like he doesn't give damn, he knows he is going down. So nothing to loose at this point🤣🤣
Damn ur spelling sucks
Ur spelling is awful
I love the prosecution patience, and how they let him cover in his own lies...he even ask him to talk more. If this man verdict is NOT GUILTY ...THEN GOD HAVE MERCY OF AMERICA....
The prosecution has done a good job proving guilt. The On Star and phone records proved he killed his family and threw Maggie's phone. AM is a disgusting waste of skin.
Waste of skin!!! Class!!!l Love it!!!
@@ruthbeamish8849 I can't wait till Alex's new home is in there with Buba!!!
Actually they show he infact didn't maybe you need to watch it all again. Stop going with all the sheep.
A lier yes. Murder nope
@@wardog2016 Maggie's phone connected to AM vehicle after he got her phone after he murdered his family. I will stick with the sheep as you say. AM got 2 life sentences!!!! Even the judge said the jury got it right!!! Bless your heart!!
old time attorneys like Dick Harpootlian need to realize that CEL PHONE DATA / ON STAR = the NEW / modern day fingerprint.
He’s a different person on the stand than in the jailhouse calls. In those calls he uses bad grammar and cusses a lot. What a scary man.
He talk to his family like he’s not in jail for double murder. It’s bizarre
Shame. & The calls I heard on YT before trial he always references "when I get out of here" as if he knew all along he was going to get away with it. EVIL man.
The whole trial he wore a tailored suit, when he testified he wore one that was too big. It makes him look old and puny. It was all a cherade put on by Alick
Good eye. He's far from frail.
Alex didn't hear the gun shots?? He didn't go and check the well-beings of both of them?? The dogs would have gone ballistic if there were strangers around!!
Something this “fair” judge didn’t allow into evidence was the test they conducted from the house with sound equipment and people that resulted in proving there certainly could be gunshots from the kennels that were not heard from the house.
Awful entitled man who doesn’t realize how bad he is doing on the stand
20:48 Alex does not use "Pau Pau" when he talks about the boat crash - he only refers to him as "Paul".
He does this several times.
Good catch.
24:44 - 25:02 Alec is ANGRY. That is the face Maggie saw coming at her. He's a demon.
"I tried to turn him over,you know, I figured it out, his cellphone popped out of his pocket, I tired to do something with it" 😮 like unlock it alex????
"You got a lot of factors in there, Mr. Waters, ALL of which I DO NOT agree with, some of which I do." 🤥
😂😂😂His passion while delivering that line. Priceless 😅😅😅
That was so stupid, typical Alex Murdaugh.
I watched this a second time, so that I could get a good laugh again ! I was crying while C. Waters named all the people that he had lied too…I lost it🤣🤣💪💯
And then AM really sat there and said, "umm, I don't think I lied to so-and-so, I just stole from them" like that sounded better in any way
... 😅
He’s nervous belching! Stephanie Lazarus!!😆
You know she was recently recommended for parole. It may not be granted but the parole board seems to be ok letting her out. Crazy
@@jessika702 no way!!
😂😂😂😂
C Waters you rock, I laughed my rear end off at you questioning The Jerk Head!
His lawyer looked so defeated 😂
Don't know who dude is but his last name is literally murder
You're really lame...
Paranoid and lying are two different things.
His jacket is crappy on purpose, He is acting his heart out.
If it wasn’t for Paul’s video at the kennels this man would of got away with it.
These guys are always built like melted ice cream
😂😂😂😂😂
This prosecutor is such a bad ass! I love him!
Paul was probably crying out in pain after the first shot. Maggie probably heard him. So sad to think how they spent their last moments.
He forget to get more blood on him after he changed clothes and washed off the ‘high velocity’ blood
If u see your son head blowed off why would the first thing that comes to mind is to grab his phone and do something with it 🙄lier
The way 'hunting' and 'guns just lying around' is normalised in this part of the world is just astonishing. 😳
Normalizing hunting is good…leaving guns lying all around is bad
Even if he gets off murder he'll lose everything to pay back all the money he stole
Alex kept right on manufacturing and Waters kept right on calling him out on it. Awesome job by Waters.
No-one could spend millions of $$$$ on opioids (which is what he says he spent the stolen money on) and still be alive.
