Alex Murdaugh Snaps at Prosecutor for Refusing to Move Past Financial Crimes

- Опубликовано: 22 фев 2023
- Alex Murdaugh snapped at prosecutor Creighton Waters for refusing to move past the disgraced lawyer's financial crimes. "I know you want to get through this quicker, but we're not," Waters said to Murdaugh after he admitted to stealing his client's money. "You have charged me with murdering my wife and my son," the disbarred South Carolina attorney said before explaining he is embarrassed by the financial crimes and cannot remember specific details of how much money he swindled from people who trusted him.

He is only Embarrassed because he was caught stealing. It didn’t bother him for 12 years.
Exactly!
And now he has been caught for cold-blooded murder when he sat and lied to this jury
Indeed
It's a murder trial, not a money theft trial 🤦♂️
It didn't bother him he lied to the jury either
I KNEW he would testify
He's a narcissist. They don't believe they are guilty of anything. Untouchable.
I'm sure the prosecution was ready. They knew he would.
& the state hasn’t proven anything
Right, no remorse or consciousness
He likes the sound of his voice too much to sit in a courtroom for weeks and not testify.
That's what I said, they think they're smooth
*"It's terrible that I got caught doing what I did. If I hadn't been caught, I would still be ripping people off."* Is what I got from this.
I'm sorry I got caught is 99.9% in these cases.
If it ain't broke don't fix is as the saying goes.
EXACTLY💯💯....THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT💩💩POS
Yep that about sums it up, word salad with affected emotions, pretention, conjecture, and postulation.
I'm glad the prosecutor frustrated him because he couldn't control his direction.
I love the way Alex looks at the prosecutor like he’s evil for calling him out on all of his own wrongdoings
I agree! It’s the prosecution fault!
So he was fine stealing outright from children but wouldn't let his son accept responsibility for killing someone while drunk.
Great point!
Well that was only bc it reflected him. He didn't care about Paul. Paul was a thorn in his side.
Cause of lawsuits..money more important than money to this human.. and he cared nothing 4 his family..
Even If He didnt commit the killings He should be a Long Time in jail for the financial frauds...
Because admitting it would send Paul to prison and cost him lots of money. His money and reputation were more I important than the life of a young girl.
Prosecutor trying to prove Alex can look people in the eye and lie-just like he's doing like lying about killing his wife and son
Exactly
Alex figures if people hear him telling the truth about all his financial crimes then they'll believe he's telling the truth about the murders.
He's doing an amazing job. Very impressive to move past the BS.
Much better tha AM's attorney.
You can tell he did an amazing job by the way the prosecutor lost his cool 🤣🤣
You hit it on the 💅 nail
His poor financial victims. 🙏 He was living a very nice life, while they really needed the money for medical bills and keep a roof over their head.
Just the fact that a law firm can take over $4 million from a single case should be a crime!
He thought because of his family history he owned the town and it’s people. How the mighty fall. It’s just a shame so many people suffered for it
Kinda like the Mafia
He He should remain in jail. Otherwise the population of Hampton County will wither and die. Revenge!
He did. Until now, the whole family did.
👌🏼
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
embarrassed is not the same as remorse
This is absolutely horrific. Watching him talk like this is sickening knowing what he actually did to Paul and Maggie. RIP
He mentioned them like he was talking about the weather!! Sigh
When his wife's sister asked "if they had suffered" he said no. How would he have known that if he was not the killer?
He sure does want to steer the conversation away from his massive financial crimes and back to that boat wreck, doesn’t he.
“Behind every great fortune is an equally great crime.”
@@juliekswanson Bernie Sanders, is that you?
Not guilty
That’s because it’s a murder case… not about the boat or the financial crimes. The state dropped the ball.
@@kahledblackman318 🤣
He says: "all these financial situations.....I'm embarrassed." HE'S "embarrassed"....NOT REMORSEFUL, NOT REPENTANT, NOT GUILT RIDDEN! That's very telling, about his character. He is only "embarrassed."
Good point! This man is a total disgrace! He is guilty! 💯
Sounds like someone and his dad.
ahhh. true! there's a big difference with those words! and his son "Pau-Pau" embarrassed him too!
Exactly
His Embarrassment is the only REAL emotion he can draw on
"I lie to everyone about everything all the time but I'm telling you the absolute truth now!"
“I’ve sat here all these weeks and listened to you ask me about all this financial stuff.”
Financial stuff? These people he left penniless- he can’t see what he did. He’s incapable. It’s a problem for him- this prosecutor bugging him about all this “financial stuff”.
Good point.
They weren't penniless. They still received massive settlements, he just thought because they were so massive why shouldn't he get himself an extra piece of the pie.
@adam imberti. Actually, no. Alex stole a minimum of eight million to ten million. The former housekeepers sons received nothing - Alex took their four million. He likely killed that housekeeper.
This isn't what this case is about so yes he has a point
@@frankyeager2298 Nope this case is about him killing his wife and son and lying about doing it. A detailed and long history of lying to his clients and stealing huge sums of their money shows a long history of lying and criminal behaviour and is absolutely relevant in this case.
The State is trying to show that Murdoch can be very good at trying to convince people that he is telling the truth.
That’s obvious but they still have to prove a murder right?
@@zakrios7389 Right. I mean we get it already. Let’s get some cross on the murder. Hopefully, that is coming next.
@@daCubanaqt exactly. Go after him with all the evidence they have and let the chips fall where they may
@@zakrios7389 In theory yes - but there will not be much 'benefit of the doubt' for a guy who steals from a quadriplegic. He is pretty much done after that. Frankly, evidence of that is so prejudicial I am surprised in was not excluded. It would take some superhuman mental strength to not hold this against him as a juror deliberates. Get ready for an appeal and a second trial, unfortunately.
And??? Where’s the stone cold hard evidence ? Nothing else matters
He keeps repeating the question to stall. Does that a lot
He wants drive the Jeep always
I hate when liars do that ….
LIKE YES THATS THE QUESTION NOW ANSWER IT
Frustrating AF to listen to him! Stalling and repeating - gives him time to think of another F’ing lie.
I am so glad you said that. I saw that to.
Yes. I noticed that. It helps them stall for an answer. Repeat and repeat.
I lied and stole from people who trusted me, so sorry let’s move on. That’s been a long time ago and I’ve already said I’m sorry. But, you need to believe me now because I’m such a great guy who treats my family and friends wonderfully with money I have stolen from people who desperately needed it! See I’m really a great guy who could never do something like murder my wife and son.
This man had everything in the world..a family, a fantastic and successful career, over a thousand acres for his pleasure, multiple dwellings, wonderful vacations etc, etc, etc….and this is how he ends up? Unbelievable !!
He was determined to finance this by any means possible, regardless of who he hurt.
Alec took down the murdaugh DYNASTY 😳
I'd hate to be in his shoes on Judgement Day. What sort of a person takes money from the disabled, the dead & their families? Pure evil. He had the money to get the best rehab at any point. So many years of this crap.
Hmmm a desperate man on opioids maybe? This type of behavior is no different than politicians who steal money from their constituents.
This is his judgment days! There is no sky daddy 😅
@@bonniejosavland3227most of the world has always believed in a higher power. I don't get your "smarter than most" comment with a fitting emoji showing your disdain for people of faith. Nobody insulted your emptiness, no need to act like you have a better intelligence of life than others
He went to detox 3 times and none of his friends or coworkers noticed??? There's an awful lot of clueless people working in South Carolina. Maybe mandatory and surprise drug testing would be a good idea for these firms.
@@kevinouellette5316 too bad so sad, believe what you want but don’t push your bs religion on the rest of us!
This man is supposed to be an attorney himself and doesn’t recall important details of when he stole money?
He was wasted out of his mind on thousands of dollars of opiods so he can't recall looking people in the eye and lying to them. (Wink wink!)
Clearly a bad one.
Over 10+ years
@@gemmag.2988 lol. They way people expect perfection. He is a criminal and maybe a killer, but saying he can’t remember incidents from 10 yrs ago makes him a crook is a stretch.
@@pasphilc7994 Not when it involves that much money.
"Just to get through this quicker..." NOPE. You aren't in control here, Alex! He thinks he, as a defendant, can tell a prosecutor what to ask about. He really does think that will work out for him.
It is working
What we ALL have to remember is that - Alex would still be stealing if he had not been caught
Exactly
Why do you call him "Alex" like he's your friend? Weird.
@@uy7munir because that’s he’s name and your weird
This man thinks admitting he stole 'peoples' money, makes it all okay , he is a narcissist.
a malignant narcissist (sociopath). Now, let's have a conversation about his childhood and his relationship with his parents. Sociopaths are not born that way, they are made during childhood. I don't believe AM is a psychopath, he is a sociopath.
I keep forgetting that AM is a lawyer. And a crooked one at that.
WAS!
My nana always said chronic lying leads to stealing and chronic stealing could lead to killing. I thought she was be dramatic but she must’ve known Alex Murdaugh.
I thought this man couldnt get any lower until I hear he stole the money off of a quatraplegic
And the poor man died
he killed his family 👍nothing stops him .
And for all he could not remember, he was able to correct CW about him being a quadriplegic and not a paraplegic.
The rich don’t think we should pay attention to their money.
Exactly-and especially how they came about getting that money.
The older I get, the more I believe it’s easy to get filthy rich-you just have to have no ethics or morals and that’s all there is to it.
Alex was an ambulance chaser lawyer but worse. He took the victims $$$
He’s a very convincing liar - it’s incredible listening to him - he’s absolutely phenomenal at twisting the truth I can see how people would believe him! This is incredible to say the least!
Now that's the narcissist I was looking for. I knew he'd show up.
“I hate the fact that I got caught”
But I didn’t slaughter my family, believe me.
EXACTLY!!!!
Lol
Good comment.
What the prosecutor is doing is having him show how Alec stole from ppl who he created a great relationship with his clients, with their entire family. And still stole from them. It didn't matter if they trusted him, he still did what he did. So who's to say he wouldn't do the same to his family and kill them. It didn't matter how much he loved them he still betrayed them.
Exactly 💯%
Yes and Prosecutor wanted him to tell us what it was like to sit across from these innocent clients and how it felt to scam them.... when they trusted him! He is worse than the DEVIL! THEN HE KILLS HIS OWN FAMILY!!!
Exactly,he actually stole from kids and a quadriplegic
Pure evil
Doesn’t prove there was murder. Don’t let your emotions make you decide. Need proof of murder, not of robbery and deceit
He is so good at this it’s crazy. Admitting his financial crimes just to say oh look I admit and talk about these bad things but he thinks he can talk his way out of the murder.
Alex's motto when asked a question: Never admit - never commit.
One strategy people use, is offering up small truths or confessions to make themselves seem more credible. I love how OFFERS UP the “I think it was more than 12 million” and the “no he was quadriplegic”. Little truths that make him look worse in some ways but show a false “honesty”. He knows what he’s trying to do.
I think I would be adding….but I didn’t kill my family to the end of each statement.
He didn't win all those jury trials bc he isn't able to manipulate the minds of people...
What's with the Ukraine Flag?
I noticed that too
Yes, pure manipulation. That's how he convinced his poor clients!
The amount of gaslighting AM did was insane. He was literally trying to drive the attorney crazy and almost succeeded. Constantly dancing around the questions, drove me nuts
Just doing what he does best!
It's because Waters is trying to get Murdaugh to confess to sitting down and lying to the face of his clients as he stole their money. Waters wants to be able to say that Murdaugh lied to the jury about the murders just like he lied to his clients about their money; right to their face. Murdaugh is an experienced trial lawyer that knows these manipulative tricks and probably isn't going to budge.
I'm not an attorney but it was driving me nuts! Just answer the question
I saw the same thing. Alex got the best of Waters. He danced and wiggled, and it worked.
Yes, arrogant narcissist. Typical, even in the midst of this, the dirty worthless fool that he is, desperately digging claws in to attempt to be in control! The scumbag was giddy as it slithered it's way up to swear to his lies. Evil trash. I've been praying that there is a discovery of hidden cameras, especially that Maggie and her little detective Paul had hidden, that would be remarkable
Never does he say "I'm sorry for stealing their money"
Manipulated & performed his 'Southern Gent' routine until the prosecutor checkmates him at minute 2.45. The court room's reaction indicates how powerful that was.
But mostly he's embarrassed that he got caught
Word Salad! AM is throwing out all he can to see what sticks.
@@jeankile9228 because he is doing double talk & being argumentative with the prosecutor who is letting AM ramble on to his own detriment. AM has not done himself a favor by getting on the stand.
His sneaky lawyer wording and euphemisms are obvious here. He wants to skirt past the fact that his actions shows he has ZERO conscience or empathy.
The way Alex stares at waters is chilling
The statistical probability of killers entering that isolated property, stealing guns, finding the victims, murdering them and leaving in that window of time is ten to the negative fifty or impossible. AM is guilty AF!
Even better, how did the killers know there were at Moselle that night?? They did not live there full time. Alex called/lured them over. Why would anyone besides Alex want to kill P&M?? Those threats made about Paul in the boat case.....not believable, no police reports.
I agree 💯
Eggzackly, who comes to a murder and doesn’t bring his own guns ???
Unless you’re mixed up in the drug trade or killed a friend like Paul did!
Or if you know the place
Answer the question, dude is lying under oath
It's horrendous the money he stole from his unfortunate clients. He also carried a law badge and had blue lights installed on his vehicle. He has no conscience and considers himself above the law. No integrity, no character. It all goes to show he's a monster.
Take a look at our government and agencies.
Prosecution: How many times did you practice that answer 😂
JESUS! He's stole SOOO MUCH money he could not let Maggie and paw paw find out about his failures and watch them slip away and not stand by his side. So he had to do what he had to do and he was going to lie all the way
AGREED! 💯
IMO this is the tip of iceberg
Why didn’t he kill Buster as well? Makes you wonder if Buster was involved.
@@bornfree0507 IMO tip of the iceberg.
I don’t think Maggie or Paul were as oblivious to his evil ways as he wants us to think. And that’s why they’re dead.
This guy is walking proof that a southern accent and manners can get you further than it should lol
Lol, yes!
Do you really think so? Wouldn't help him much in the north
Wait until he hits prison with that accent, the only word I can imagine hearing is Squieeelllll..
Well, I'll declare Mr.Officer, I surely was not intending to
do 45mph in 25mph zone. I'm so sorry😇
Yes I'm guilty and it has gotten me a few breaks according to my brother. Lol
@@yolandar.1104 Right, paw paw and maw maw and papa t and ro ro... Puleeeez!
The way he said “I’m embarrassed for my son” like he only has one…. Well now he does. So sad
He's guilty AF!!!
If he's innocent, this is not helping.
Lol
🤣
@@seanthegrizz3983 my exact thoughts. The state has the burden to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt AM did that. And I see lots of doubt.
@@krissyrific the state is ridiculous and overbearing at this point and is stuck on the financial crimes and has tunnel vision
Alex is a "smooth operator". I am so glad that the lawyer is squeezing him into a corner, exposing his lies, cruelty, and thievery. Alex cannot manipulate the courtroom, when this attorney has the floor. I don't believe for a minute that he cares for anyone he has ripped off. He just cares how his actions affect him.
He's really trying to manipulate the room...
Guilty tears want Prosecution to present candy coated questions so the description of the defendant's actions don't hurt so bad. Spittoons needed in the courtroom.
If not for the boat accident Alec would still be stealing, murdering , lying.. oh yes, he is still lying.
Take the plank out of your eye before you judge him.
@@jeremiahmen guilty ! Life in prison yay
Is he on trial for stealing or murder?
The defense is proving without a shadow of a doubt, what a good liar he is. LIAR
It’s so painful to hear this. I’m so sorry for those people
cry some more tears on youtube
@@uy7munir you sound like a useless pos
The only people I feel sorry for are the non-family victims. The rest had it coming.
This family was abusive, to one another. They were all abusive, messed up…
@@benj3911 at one point, I said “3 down, 1 to go.” Outloud, to myself. I don’t feel guilty, either. What a toxic family.
Can you say that you lied to people’s faces in the past ? Yes. Well, that might be good for the jury to know.
Of course, because all liars are murders who brutally murder their own family, duh.
because others were definitely benefiting from his wrong doings! It seem as if everyone knew each other in some type of way and family.
Exactly, I get what the prosecution was trying to do, but he was beating the same dead horse. He’s a manipulative liar, I’m sure the jury can see that. Get to your point of saying your a liar and we can’t trust you saying you didn’t kill your wife and son.
@@dand4933 It really was. Waters established by Alex's own testimony in the first fifteen minutes of cross that he's a liar, he lied to his clients, stole money from them, and misled his friends. He even got him to say that he hurt people he cared about. Why did we spend more than two hours on the same point?
Yes, but I only lie when necessary 🤣
He wants the prosecution to let him distance himself from the human part of his crime. Tough. Tear him up Creighton!!!
He was able to lie to all these clients that trusted him, all his co workers, his friends and his family….and yet people think he’s not capable of committing the ultimate lie of killing his wife and son to make it look like they were murdered. Money will make you do more than lie sadly!
So true!
This guy is a lesson for us all, into the evil that exist out there .
After hearing about all the numerous people who trusted him, people from whom he stole without even thinking; It's obvious to me that he would do anything just for his own benefit.
He even confessed today that he lied to the police about his whereabouts right after his wife and son were shot dead instead of trying to do everything he could to catch the killer.
what's the benefits of killing his wife and son??? none.
I'm agreeing 100% Not only did he show or confessed of stealing monies from people but it also shows his malice to kill his own to only for his own gain. he clearly shows how a true monster he is and people could be. he figures if he could show his own guilt and how he looked at these people in their faces and convince them in false claims then he clearly shows he's trying to do this with jury and try his best poker face,fake tears, fake remorse isn't gonna work he flat out did exactly what the prosecution wanted him to do and that is showing the proof he in fact is guilty of premeditation murder and that he should get the fullest punishment the law allows.
He didn't even warn his living son that there was a group of killers out killing the family and that he should go to the nearest police station for protection. Even the roadside shooting was meant to be a "look, there are killers out for me and my family. I barely survived...."
Eh... almost anyone will steal when they have such a heinous drug addiction, it not the same thing as robbing someone to get a speedboat.
Right, admits to everything except murders... In due time perhaps.
He doesn’t want to admit to HIS VICTIMS HURT HE CAUSED! No real remorse. If he hadn’t gotten caught, he would STILL be doing it! PERIOD!
Yeah but this trial is about murder. Who cares about this ?
I think he’s overplaying the patient, remorseful, whining thing. Aw shucks, ah made a silly ole mistake - you still mad about THAT? Depends on how the jury reads it. For me (because he’s exactly like my father and I know how it works) I’d say his testimony weighs on the side of guilt.
what a horrific human being. but Iam gobsmacked the firm did not know or followup about where all the money was over all these years, astounding..
For those wondering why the prosecutor keeps hammering this point home; it’s important for him to point out that this defendant was cunning and as convincing as he may seem to the jury, he cannot be believed
Yes, thank you!!
Who doesn't sit down with clients to discuss their case?
There is no dispute about his years of theft, he is only embarrassed cause he was caught. He had years to come right with his lies, but it took getting caught. There are so many people Alex cheated and lied too he has no memory of them. He has no sympathy for the people he robbed what so ever.
& that would be perfect for the FINANCIAL CRIMES.
@@Cajun.Cravings_ A drug addict like him who was spending thousands per week is capable of anything!
Over twenty years.
Absolutely, or no one would have ever known. I assure you he wasn’t going to pay them back. Evil
Exactly
The prosecutor spent way too long on the finances. That’s for a separate trial. Poor jury.
I wonder when they're going to talk about murder in this murder trial.
“Wealthy? No sir, we are humble country folks, we don’t mind living lower middle class with our 1,770 acre farm, kennels, properties, airstrips, boats, and housekeepers!” -Murdaugh, probably
He felt so bad he gave money back? No? Didn’t think so
Of course not
He wasn’t embarrassed enough not to keep from doing it again and again to different people, including a intellectually vulnerable adult.
I pray justice gets served. I see master manipulator written all over him, amongst other not so nice qualities. He’s not sorry for crap.

@@Len-jk4zi bunch of conspiracy
The prosecutor DID NOT disappoint!!! Today was 🔥 👏🏽💥
Agree can’t wait for tomorrow
I disagree. He spent 2 hours on 10 year+ financial crimes… that he hasn’t been convicted for. It was a waste of time. I think he did it too but the case is weak.
@@Cajun.Cravings_ I quit watching because I was getting frustrated with constant repetitive questions, nothing was said about the days leading up to the murders, I don't know, if he's guilty or not, I am thankful, I don't have to make that decision, he's a louse, for sure.. guilty possibly.., but the jurors must be wanting this to be done with..let's talk murder..
enough about the money
@@Cajun.Cravings_ how in the world is that a waste of time? Those are crimes that he will serve a lot of time but his life is on the line in this trial. So he can't lie about it now because the evidence is overwhelming. So the state locking down the other crimes with all these courtroom confessions. This guy is never walking free again.
The man admitte thirty times he stole the money so friggin move on to the murder !!
Enough already with the financial crimes!!! This prosecutor is blowing it!!!!
He thought he could bs his way through this. Like he always has
Murdaugh wants to just admit to all of his financial crimes and does not want to go into the details. He does not want you to hear how he kicked his clients while they were down. It is jarring how much money the lawyer makes (aside from stealing from them) and that was not enough.
I find it quite incredible (in an UNbelievable way) that he needed THAT much money to feed his own addiction to pills. If there was no dealing going on on his part or any other dodgy related drug business, how is it even possible to snack opiate pills for the kinds of sums that he was stealing?
I still feel like there's so much more to this story that we don't know about and i'm waiting for it to be ripped right open from tomorrow onward. I HOPE, cause this creep was up to some really shady stuff. (in my strong hunch opinion)
He sure didn't spend $12 million dollars on oxy.
It's NOT a financial crime case in court yet. It's a MURDER trial
That's great fodder for closing arguments, but we're at cross-exam. Don't drag out a point for an hour that you can establish with precision in 15 minutes. You run the risk of losing the jury's attention or, worse, turning them against you because they feel like you're wasting their time.
Memory lapses at the time of the murders, too?
I’m so glad the judge allowed the state to continue tomorrow where they left off.
@Jean Kile ???
@Jean Kile weirdo.
@Jean Kile you come off very rude and disrespectful.
He's embarrassed that he got caught. Not ashamed. What a piece of dirt.
Wow 4m $ and he still needed to steal from a quardapeligic. It seems like even his financial crimes would be enough to keep him behind bars for life
We should be so proud of the prosecution team. Get paid a state salary and choose to do this work. Kudos
They are a joke
@UnapologeticallyMe I am sorry for you. ✌️
@@unapologeticallyme7664 can you specify that?
Well played! Well played! IMO the prosecution is bringing out A.M.'s true character - how he reacts to being confronted. If he acts like this professionally than I don't want to even think about how he treated his wife behind closed doors... IMO...
Absolutely! That “aw shucks, I’m just an ole country lawyer” schtick starts to crack once the lawyer puts some pressure on him.
Wow a (quadriplegic cuz of the accident was awarded 10m yet he got 4m for legal fees yet that wasn't enough and took victim's money, man this guy is beyond dirt horrible of a human being.
His son will probably receive zero from the family estate. All these people Alex defrauded can sue.
Alex believes he’s the smartest person in the room. I don’t believe a word he says.
I wish that Creighton Waters asked Alex if he understood, how each of his clients SUFFERED as a result of his stealing their money.
There's no point to that this is not the financial crimes case in court. This has nothing to do with the murders
Yes, it’s the same reason they are including it-to show he doesn’t have a conscience. That he can seem to care about people, yet also can harm them and not give it a second thought. In court, a prosecutor can’t simply point a finger at the defendant and yell “Sociopath”! So they need to prove that another way. In this case, they had no actual, physical evidence. They need to weave together a composite of other things to try to prove his guilt. If they can. Certainly, the guy has spent his adult life, doing terrible things. Secretly, and without conscience.
What a wasted afternoon by the prosecutor. Does he know he’s prosecuting a double homicide and not a theft case?
This is a theater show, lawyers are the best actors🤣
He has no emotions when he says he’s embarrassed for his son that he did all the lying and all the crimes.
Alex's societal vanity far outstrips his clients and even his own family. That loss to him would have been far more devastating.
The fact he can't remember the details of stealing peoples money for a living show's how terribly sick he really is.
It was 2011 and he is was an opioid addict.
He can't remember having those conversations because lying doesn't bother him. Callous indifference to lying definitely has to be what the prosecution is revealing here. It's not about his financial crimes, it's about the ease in which he lies.
Great point! You are right- they are step by step building a case regarding the character of a person who can lie so easily about atrocious acts - financial, and otherwise.
He can turn even “I did wrong and I am sorry” into the appearance of “Arent I a great guy for this?” It’s amazing how some people just have a certain personality, a likability, that enables them to do terrible things and yet come across still seeming like a good guy.
I've been looking for the right words and you just said them.. yeah I know but we can hang out
Agreed. He definitely doesn’t seem like a monster. He’s really good at putting on an innocent likable personality.
True, but I see no good guy at all.
Yes, I have saw this happen before from a Nationalized politician.
@@MrRaven2 I think he knows he’s going to be convicted on all charges. This trial won’t end with a not guilty shocker like the Casey Anthony trial ended. He may have had a ton of enemies but so far his attorneys haven’t offered up any other plausible theories as to who else could’ve committed these murders because there isn’t anyone else but Alex Murdaugh. I think he’s doing much better on the stand than what I thought but he’s a attorney and he knows exactly what to say and how to say it. What proves his guilt to me is he paid someone to kill him for money and it’s not that far of a stretch to kill his wife and son for the exact same thing.
Yes! Waters is making the connection here on how he can look people in the eye lie effortlessly and convince them of anything just like the JURY!! And he is rattling him. Keeps saying he “convinced” people to believe him!
As he is doing here in court to the jury and his very own family..
Really? Cause Alex came across as calm and composed, whereas Waters was yelling. And Waters spent two hours on this when he got the point he actually needed fifteen minutes into this. Granted, I'm a civil lawyer, but when I'm in front of a jury to prove a point, and I can do it in 15 minutes with short, punchy questions, I'm not going to extend it out to two hours just because I can. It's poor trial strategy, and if he'd been more focused on convincing the jury instead of lining up quotes for his close, he could have been much more effective.
Shut up. They have 0 evidence, that’s why this is all they’ve talked about
@@sdraulitolito44 Seriously. If the state had anything to actually tie Alex to the crime, we should have seen it by now. Instead, we've got a meandering case with no coherent theory and a mountain of reasonable doubt. I have no clue whether Alex murdered his wife and son, and neither does South Carolina apparently.
Over and over and over. He looked like an angry child trying to get murdaugh to argue.
If I’m on the jury here I am getting real tired right now with all the financial fraud questions. This prosecutor needs to be hammering it in my head when he has the alleged murderer on the stand that I need to bring back a guilty verdict beyond a reasonable doubt.
What's up with defense attorneys on phone while their client is in the hot box?
The power of words:
"I believe that I mislead Arthur Badger"
sounds far more easy on the ears than
" Yes I LIED to Arthur Badger"
let's hope that the jury is not so easily duped.
I believe that the dishonest teachers never reported my A's now im a welder very unfair
He said "lied" like 20 times. You only listened to a few minutes of the cross examination.
This is what happens when you get your information from a short clip, instead of watching the whole cross examination
He was honest and said he lied.
This has absolutely nothing to do with murder.
If he lied about stealing money why are we to believe he isn't lying about killing Paul and Maggie?
The lawyer is proving he convinced people he could be trusted. He lied and stole. So🤷♀️
So?? He’s able to look people who are hurting in the face and then HIRT THEM MORE. And no.. not everyone can do this. When I lie I laugh. I can’t help it. It’s a nervous reaction to lying . So I just don’t lie. And if it’s gonna hurt someone I don’t say it at all. This man called his wife back home under the idea that he needed her to go with him to see his mother who suffers from dementia only to NOT take her to his mothers she was killed and THEN he went to his mothers. He killed them and changed clothes. He lied about it all
Yes. He lied, he stole. This hurts his credibility to be trusted by the jury…..you see? 🤷🏼♀️
@@pommiebears Still doesn't prove murder. Unless he murdered some of his clients before, it proves nothing when it comes to murder. It proves he will look you in the eye and rip you off, that's it.
He's like, "so I stole money, sorry! jeeze..."
I almost fell off my chair when Mr. Murdererugh "snapped" and raised his voice in the courtroom.
That's called: Contempt of Court. Usually a fine or jail is handed down. He should have been removed from the courtroom.
Watching Harpoolian and Griffin while Alex is being cross examined is interesting.
They are squirming !
@@7jarrow Not at 3:47
They don’t care, they are just making money!
Griffin almost has that pen cap totally chewed😂
@@VioletJoy lol course he's squirming he told his partner to stand up and object.
