Thank you 👍
Um..actually those whom graduate from Harvard (illuminati influenced colleges) type schools are the DUMBEST! This is due to believing in the materialistic world of greed. This causes grown adults to still throw out all morals for gain. This is those whom rather gain the world rather than save their souls. If this is not under the term dumbest, than I'm truly lost! OF COURSE we are witnessing DUMBEST people here.🔴🔴🔴👹🔴🔴🔴
These people are CLEARLY BLIND to believe Alex Murdough DIDN'T murder his son & wife. Common sense & logic SAYS HE DID!!!!🔴👹💥
These people are CLEARLY BLIND to believe Alex Murdough DIDN'T murder his son & wife. Common sense & logic SAYS HE DID!!!!!! 🔴👹💥
There are people..too many people whom are willing to kill to try and save themselves from being found out. Desperation in these folk will cause them to do anything!!! Even kill their own!!🔴
Sometimes other things happened
Just because one is educated..does not mean one has sense.
Two of em need a refund yup!
Well seems like they were educated on how to be despicable
Some ppl are so caught up in very powerful families they don’t get to think for themselves
I’m with Eric. It was proven Alex lied about not being at kennels. My god why are we letting Buster’s interview bring that fact into question.
I’m sure this family has enemies. I would not be surprised if Buster were in danger. I don’t know who this lady is but she makes zero sense. Either someone else did it or not. She says Alex
Didn’t do it then of course someone would be watching Buster. Her saying he shouldn’t be afraid contradicts her statement that Alex
didn’t do it. Shutup lady
Well, Chad Daybell’s children are in BIG denial that their father killed their mother, and that’s pretty dang obvious. It is a horrible situation to be in, for sure.
I’ve followed that one from day 1. His kids are despicable not supporting their murdered mother at all even after all the evidence and making faces at the news cameras and posting cryptic pictures and messages on the property that is the gravesite of 2 innocent children. Those kids are sickos like their father.
What a lovely and empathic sentiment. As our Edgar Cayce espoused, "Don't JUDGE, as you will become who you condemn".
Huh? All l said was that Chad Daybell's children are in complete denial about their father killing their mother and that it was a horrible (sad) situation for these children to be in--to have been put there by their father. I was actually being empathic towards his children. Though I have minus-O sympathy for their manipulative, adulterous and murderous father. Look, I'm judging!
And by the way, the psychic, Edgar Cayce, is not "ours" (though he may be yours). In many ways, he was just as disturbed as Chad and Lori Daybell. (Though he never murdered anyone.) Any person reading about his bizarre beliefs and failed predictions would know that, though you're free to make an icon out of him, if you wish.
Also, that often-misinterpreted and misapplied "Do not judge" quote is from the Bible--not Edgar Cayce (though he changed it just slightly). The actual verse reads, " Do not judge, lest you also be judged" (Matt 7:1)
@@kristinefrink5726
@@kristinefrink5726 there’s no “judging” their father’s new wife was convicted of killing his new step children who were buried on his property prior to his wife being murdered per autopsy facts and his emails and texts gave it all away in court. The court and a jury of her peers judged her. Next it’s his turn. What was done to their mother and those children and Charles is deplorable and sick. If they don’t want to make a public statement that’s fine but to be sticking your tongue out at media and posting pics of a gravesite on your father’s property where you’re riding ATVs etc is heartless. And not one made or sent a statement for their mother in Lori’s sentencing. That is heartbreaking and sad. Poor Tammy.
Funny I just watched that 48 hours episode. The kids all said Chad was normal and wonderful dad but remember, the same was said about Lori. They are in complete denial
There was a phone call from Alex to Buster early on from the jail that creeped me out. You could tell in Busters voice it made him nervous too. Alex asked him if he wanted to go hunting soon at a part of woods with someone. He could set it up for him. Buster said in a shaky tone...NO! It gave me cold chills. It was right after Alex was arrested.
Yes I remember that call too. My mom and I discussed numerous times how cold and chilling Alex’s statement was and Buster horrified reaction.
😲
I never heard this! I don't doubt what was being conveyed for a millisecond though.
I completely agree with you. That was the creepiest phone call .
Wow I missed that! Scary!
I feel bad for Buster he's a victim in this. He adored his mother. He was very nice and spoke honestly in his interview.
Come on, you would have to be ignorant to not believe he killed his wife and son give me a break.
You would have to have blindfolds on not to see Alex is guilty. He’s a psychopath, making him quite capable of killing then moments after laughing with them.
A psychopath who is an addict ,at that. Opioid addicts that abuse at Alex level are most definitely hillucinating at times and the paranoia addicts experience is something the abuser can not control. So yes ,it's very easy to imagine he shot his wife and son.
@@klw3876Come on now! Evidence points to Alex!
@@klw3876 what are you on about??? Hallucinations and paranoia from opiates?? Even opiate withdrawal wouldn't cause hallucinations or paranoia. Maybe enough sleep deprivation from withdrawal could cause that, but that would be from lack of sleep, not opiate withdrawal.
I'm sure he killed them but his addiction isn't really that relevant to the murders. I've struggled with addiction for years and know plenty of ppl who have done the same. The most common crime you find opiate addicts commit as a direct result of their addiction is retail theft. Addicts usually steal from corporate stores like Walmart or Target to hustle up enough money to get well(out of withdrawal) for the day. Murder isn't something you would commonly see from someone in that situation unless there's additional circumstances at play. Which would at that point, have almost nothing to do with their addiction.
Just informing you so you don't continue walking around thinking and spouting off nonsense.
Let’s not forget, he shot himself on the roadside, months later, for sympathy and to deflect the investigation into his family murders.
He is Psychopathic.
Agreed!
Poor guy he’s the spitting image of his evil, murdering father. He can never escape that.
Poor guy for looking like his father before all this but before u give out too much sympathy, let’s think about (or look into) Stephen Smith’s murder. That’s once again pushed to the back, while HIS mother has waited the longest for justice (2015) for her son.
@@LLynneM You haven’t the faintest clue AT ALL on my take regarding the tragic case of Steven Smith or his mother’s fight to get justice for her son. So go and take your moralistic drum and beat it elsewhere - or shove it where the sun doesn’t shine!
Yup, his daddy trashed the family reputation and now his son will never profit off those coattails.
They cannot be serious?!?! He absolutely 100% pulled the trigger. She’s only saying she doesn’t believe it to try and ‘be controversial’ it’s VERY desperate and thirsty behaviour.
She’s something wrong with her someone killed wife’s and son he just watched. what is more evil..killer or him
@@missyouflowers2654 what would make you think someone else did it? Just curious- if it’s impossible for you to wrap your head around it just watch Chris Watts, they walk amongst us. Alex had 2 guns to try and paint that picture to create doubt. It clearly didn’t work.
@@mish4164 I mean if, I watched every single day and night, not even missed one day.. I know he did it, He was there right before wife and son got killed…
@@mish4164Yeah. He totally did it. Something that really made sense to me about his son being shot twice, is that Alex likely shot him in the chest first (thinking it would immediately kill him) but as he starts to lower the gun so he can hurry and pick up the other one, his sons is still standing and lurching towards him. Alex has no time to react, and in his crouched position to lay down his gun, hes startled and shoots upward at him, shooting him in the head in the process. I don't think Alex EVER intended to shoot him in the head. He would have considered that "wrong". And I think there was genuine emotion afterwards (for a a few seconds) when hes with the cops and saying his sons brains were on the ground. Like he's upset because he never wanted or intended that and it was a lot harder for him to see. Anyway this theory not only explains the odd angle his son was shot at, but also makes sense that a father wouldn't want to mangle his sons face or head. (Not that shooting him at all is ok. But psychopaths like him rationalize things.) Anyway, Alex is where he belongs. The jury got it right. It's sad Buster can't see the truth. But hes the only immediate family he has left, and so I can't judge him too harshly for not wanting to see it.
@@e.sterling141 brilliantly said!! 😀
Of course Buster said that his dad is innocent; in 80 years of being alive, i’ve known many people who have the ability to deny a reality that they don’t wish to face, no matter how strong the evidence to the contrary
ive been alive for 49 yrs and i know that. do u think he maybe deep down knows but just cant admit it.
For example Biden
Like the fraud Moon landing.
I see it the exact same way.
Buster knows that his father is not a good person.
But just like the guy in the video said:
Admitting that his FATHER not just shot, but executed his mother and brother...
If this truth would destroy Buster (that can happen), then he should hold on to this denial.
It's not "sad", it doesn't make Buster a defender of a killer..
It's just called"being human".
Every single time someone kills the own child .. strangers scream "NO parent kills the own child!"
Even though we know that this is not true.
But a son is expected to believe just like that that his father did this?
That is not fair...
Same thing with Buster speaking up at all..
He is hunted by media, journalists and people who have nothing better to do..
I read comments about "Throw Buster in jail for killing Stephen Smith already!"
Just to make sure:
Stephen's mother (who is an incredible human being) NEVER encouraged stuff like that.
Sandy wants that they admit already that Stephan was MURDERED and that they try and solve who did it.
She wants to make sure that certain names are not excluded from being QUESTIONED because they belong to prominent families.
She NEVER called to hunt Buster down or even named him as a suspect..
But still..
Buster is the sole survivor..
And tons of people are spreading all over the internet that he must be just like his father..
He didn't have much of a choice here.
He kept his head down, hoping this all will die down.. it didn't..
Now he knows: All those "documentaries" and stuff will happen and all he can do is choose if those will talk ABOUT him or WITH him..
Maybe those who are after him that bad should give him a break..
I am NOT saying that Buster is a great guy who never did anything wrong, I don't know him..
But for now.. he is a victim.. caught in a nightmare that won't end.. just like tons of other victims of his dad.
He knows, he just can’t admit it, it’s so sad. I feel sorry for him. Imagine your entire family being gone, in the blink of an eye 😢.
In the snap chat video Maggie and Paul are laughing. Alex is irritated. Listen to it again, Alex is not laughing. He sounds aggravated. He doesn’t laugh. Why isn’t he screaming from the roof tops to find the “real killers”? He and Buster never talk about someone else killing them on these jail house calls. They never mention it.
And they probably never will. AM can’t divulge the real truth or won’t and especially not to his son or on a recorded call.
Because he is the real killer.
Not wanting to accept that his father murdered his mother and brother is not the same as truly believing, and knowing for a fact, that he didn't commit those crimes.
Buster and the rest of the family were probably all subjected to the major gaslighting and manipulation of Alex Murdaugh. So it's not surprising that Buster's living in a fog of denial. It's probably been the key to survival as Alex's first born.
I think he just says he believes he’s innocent for the cameras. I don’t think he believes it.
I mean him and a family friend showed up at the house the next day after the killings and removed guns that were never found again. Buster is bullshit and should have and still should be investigated.
@@rachelm1173 Agreed!!
Imagine the brain damage this could cause. But if it were me I’m guessing it would feel better to acknowledge things instead of stonewall. Who knows, maybe he’s afraid his nut job father would put a hit on him.
Was Buster kicked out of law school for some kind of offense ?
Lori and Matt are clowns LOL, no clue what they are talking about. Eric is correct and makes complete sense.
I agree ❤
I concur I just stated about Lori , and yes Mat is 😑😑😑🫠🫠
100 %
Really, I agree , there's always people that just baffle me like them. They are in the minority.
Absolutely 👍
I think that Buster keeps saying that Alex is innocent in order to continue convincing himself of it.
Well, If Alex and/or Buster know who pulled the trigger, but chose to take life in prison rather than giving up the true killer, they're more stupid than I imagined.
Further, If Buster thinks the killer is still out there, why in HELL isn't he making it his life's mission to find that person and bring them to justice. He hasn't. He's done nothing to find the killer. That tells me that he knows his Father did it.
If I knew the killer were still out there, I wouldn't care about my safety. I would get justice for my Mother and Brother.
Alex Murdaugh killed Maggie and Paul. No question.
If it was cartel it would be damn stupid to say anything
Maggie wasn't mommy dearest either😊
He shows he really doesn't care about his mom at all. He could hate Paul for starting the downward spiral, but no justice for his mom, would rather hitch his wagon to that scumbag makes me sick
Alex had a total diff outfit on than when he did with Maggie & Paul in the kennels. Buster cheated his way out of law school. Kids learn what they see. Gloria didnt have Paul or Buster visit her in hospital. She was their nanny.💜🙏💜
Buster and paw-paw had no rules or discipline. They could do whatever they wanted.
katekeys, amen! That's the key to the boat wreck, which thankfully led to their downfall. Too bad a girl had to die to bring them down.
Like flipping off the court pretending to chew his fingernail. He should have been thrown out of the courtroom.
Affluenza to the 10th degree
@@happycamper1372 All them are shameless.
When I worked in child/adolescent psychiatry the director told me when I started those are the worst kind of parents. Parents who set no limits on their kids.
This woman who says Alex is innocent .... was she really following the trial? Maybe it wasn't the one I followed.
ikr I think she lives with Buster...
I hate when people misinform the audience. I agree with you I watched all and he is guilty 💯. This woman is a lawyer? I guess in SC anybody can be a lawyer.
There was so much evidence- like when he went to visit his mother and lied about how long he was there. Didn’t they find a rain jacket of his there as well? He changed his clothes but he’s not guilty? Ya that lady obviously wasn’t watching the same trial.
Ms. Murray has a very, very deep understanding of this case. It’s a very complex case; you have to understand the history, Alec Murdaugh’s drug use, his drug-selling and dealing (more than using, but also using) the landing air-strip on his property. Alec Murdaugh is protecting Buster by not naming the killer. I do not believe he shot his son Paul in the face. Look at the video of them riding the property earlier in the day. Yes, he’s absolutely a despicable man but I do not think he murdered his son by shooting him in the face. That’s a different type of monster.
It’s her desperate attempt for attention
Hard to believe that a psychopath who's about to already "lose" his life because of his wife divorcing him, his son is gonna go to trial, and he's embezzling (stealing) from the law firm he's a partner at wouldn't be able to pull the trigger on his wife and son.
98% of people in that situation don’t so.
I think Alex is guilty too but…
Yeah, but 98% of people aren’t psychopathic narcissists too.
I only wish they had more evidence that he committed the murders despite “he stole money and did pills”
The money and pills go to what was going on in his life, it is the videos that place him at the kennels moments before the murders. The calls, texts, car GPS show his movements before and after the murders, the conversations with family, friends and staff show his mindset and alibi setting, and the weapons and ammunition used showed they came from his home. Paul’s friends identified the weapons, one of which went missing after the murders, and Maggie’s cell phone was tossed as Alex drove pass the spot where the phone was recovered ( GPS and phone data).
The evidence presented in court proved he was there.
The only person more despicable is Putin.
I personally think Buster is denying his fathers guilt because then he might have to admitt that DaDa coud have killed him in the future. That would be hard to process no matter how old he is.
I personally think that Buster knew his dad was going to off his sibling and mother .
There were a lot of tire tracks bc Alex called everyone and their mother to come over immediately following the murders in order to taint the crime scene...
Reminiscent of the jon bonet case 😮
Maybe there were tire tracks Alex wanted to be trampled upon...
I believe he had an accomplice who parked near the kennels. The accomplice shot Paul while Alex shot his wife and the accomplice drove away with the guns. Due to lack of evidence against an accomplice prosecution had to put it all on Alex, which, I think was a mistake. But they couldn't prosecute Alex in any other way.
I can’t believe this woman is a lawyer 😳
She’s terrific
Right? She's delusional.
@@personalchefservicesofsues4362right! She sounds and acts like some females who are living in la-la land,in denial not facing reality!! Like some who disagree with the opposite sex just for sake of argument!!
@@vernareed2692 Why do you hate women? Did Mommy hate you?
@@vernareed2692your comment sounds like one of those mysoginistic males
Alex is a narcissist and he would never take the fall for someone else, not even to protect his son. Narcissists are in it for themselves only. Nobody is lurking out there. He's in prison where he belongs!
Is that lady kidding me? She thinks he knows who did it, and, by a reasonable conclusion, is still apparently willing to spend the rest of his life in jail AND pay for an appeal? Come on, lady.
He would squeal immediately. What? He’s gonna stay quiet to protect Buster? 😂😂😂
He would have the same sentence regardless if he pulled the trigger or not if he conspired to have his family murdered. So there would be no benefit from him telling who did it.
He would still be charged with murder since South Carolina law classifies conspiracy to commit murder as murder: “The offender caused or directed another to commit murder or committed murder as an agent or employee of another person”
If she is implying that Alex conspired to have his family murdered, but didn’t necessarily pull the trigger she probably understands that it will be life in prison regardless.
Good point!!! That psychopath would have turned
and became a state witness. He would throw Buster
,under the bus if possible.
I am so grateful these two weren’t on the jury. How in the world could you not be convinced of his man’s guilt for murder
À
@@sallyohara1995 she meant “this” and obviously her finger missed the t. I’m not sure what amazes me more. The fact you took the time to correct someone’s typo or the fact this is a video on a crime investigation yet you can’t even figure out the intent of one word 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😂😂
Exactly, not once did Alex say "hey, son, we need to make sure you stay hidden. There's a killer on the loose".
Exactly, I watch it all. Didn't miss a bit of it. He killed them.
These two are willfully blind. The evidence is overwhelming. Good grief.
Can we just have Eric on alone
Eric is an ambulance chaser - Likable guy but he has his motives also
Exactly. Eric has his motives as well. Few people are without their own bias.
He's BEEN ACTING LIKE A THUG HIS WHOLE LIFE. YOU DONT ACT LIKE THAT OVERNIGHT.
I think it is sad because he is not ready to accept the reality. He has long road to recovery. He can still love his dad but hate what he did.
Buster is allowed to have his beliefs. This whole situation is so screwed up he probably can’t process it all.
Agree and I hope he goes after them all civilly
If Buster is so worried- is he trying to find the killer since he doesn’t think his dad did it? You’d think he’d be trying to find the “real” killer
I believe he knows it . He just can’t accept it .
@@kjh6903 can’t say I blame him. I’d hate to admit my parent would do something like that.
with the phone tracking evidence proving he was right there when the murders happened, their own weapons were used, then lied, lied, lied, for years, how could anyone think he was innocent of the murders? That just blows my mind.
That tracking evidence and that kennel video convinced me with no doubt he did it .
I cannot understand how someone can believe that this man didn't do it!! Buster is his own person he is not going to come out and say his dad did it but he has some thoughts he did!!! Buster is being told what to say!!!
Totally agree!
I can't believe Matt is talking over Vinnie. Alex was too narcissistic to go to jail defending someone else, he's going to save his own ass
Exactly he snitched on the guy who he was getting pills from when he shot himself in the head but it didn’t work and now that guy has a case against him so why wouldn’t he tell who killed his family
I always appreciate your solid and respectful coverage and your kind way of looking at the different situations. Thank you Vinnie!❤
He is not a “kid”, he is a 27 year old man
Alex would’ve thrown the culprit under the bus straight away. Who on earth would he spend life in jail for?
No one not even Buster
Its like they forget that someone DID kill these two people so we know someone IS capable of it yet they dont think the person with the Motive and the means AND who lied about being at the kennels was the one who did. But someone one else who after a massive investigation was not found? riiiiight
What motive?
Yeah it’s just opening a whole new bag of bullshyt
@@TheAngryKilljoyfinancial… your name says all I need to know about ya!
Well stated!! Thanks for bringing it full circle!
One more thing, when Alex was on the stand and Waters asked him if the dogs were barking because there was anyone there they didn’t know he said” no because there was nobody there”!
@Liveanotherday I distinctly remember him saying that on the stand. Alex's entire testimony was unbelievable to me. Also, when he tried to get people to cover for his alibi, I thought it smelled fishy. I'm sure he's continuing to wheel and deal inside prison. He better watch out who he associates with in there. I think he's going to cross the wrong person someday, and all his crooked dealings are going to catch up with him.
Waters did a great job laying it all out for the jury and Alex knew it was over for him . Go back and watch Alex reaction when Waters said ....she was running to her baby ,heard the shot and came running to see what was going on and was gunned down with no defensive wounds bc it was Alex that had done it. His jaw clenched and the look of guilt was all over his face .

Correct. He incriminated himself more than once. Guilty AF.
The Do-che doesn't fall far from the bag...
A father who kills his own wife and son, for greed, power and corruption.
No respect. = Death penalty.!
Absolutely!!!!!!!
Since the trial Ive heard Maggie wasnt the wonderful person we were led to think , sorry to speak ill of the dead but this whole family without exception are selfish , money orientated and entitled , they condisered other people worth less than them , they way they treated Gloria , the way they spoke about staff and Pauls girlfriend says Maggie didnt care for Paul , neglected him and obviously favoured Buster , you should never make your kids feel that way , it explains his drinking and attention seeking
They were not nice people. People think money equates goodness sometimes and that is not the case.
As someone who sat on 2 trials. I am greatly offended that this self centered family would say a jury had their mind made up before ever hearing any evidence! So insulting
Agreed it makes no sense, emotionally, that a Father would kill his son. But, it would for a psychopath. If Alex didn’t kill them - & he was with Paul & Maggie 5 min bf they were murdered - then who killed them? Who had the motive? The only person who would benefit was Alex. And, it can still make no emotional sense bc it was all about money & greed.
Murder and Motive, do they ever make sense together.
Only tragedy.
Buster is a goof and i think he's a bad liar.

The sins of the father
Buster said his father didn't get a fair trial, he didn't say he thinks his father is innocent of murder did he?
You are so right Vinnie. Thank you so much for acknowledging that. My father shot my mother and himself in 1975 and for over 40 years, my brother and I have fought to reconcile with the fact that our father actually stood with a rifle to our mother's temple and pulled the trigger while she slept! It is VERY HARD for the children. We have never hated our father for what he chose to do. We hate what he did. We hate that he destroyed our family's life forever. But we do not hate our father. A very hard thing to live with. FOREVER!
Wpw that's heavey..sorry for your loss
Oh , give it a rest . I have yet to see any true grief from Buster. He had no emotion whatsoever when crime scene / injuries of his mom & brother were detailed. Yet ,when his father was found guilty,he cried. Buster has been living off of stolen money and will kiss his dads behind as long as he benefits financially. Alex Murdaugh kilked Maggie & Paul and that was evident by his reactions during closing arguments. I feel Buster has not stood up for Maghie & Paul . I truly believe Alex killed them and they both looked Alex in the eyes and knew who wanted them dead .
Agreed . Buster exhibits at least sociopathic traits and possible psychopathic traits .
👏👏👏 well said!
I will agree he is extremely unemotional in all of his deliveries. Extremely hard to read
Dateline’s episode “The Carrollton Plot” is a masterclass example of how grown children are incapable of accepting the truth. Continuing to traumatize your adult child is just more evidence that Alex is a true psychopath
What was that one about?
I
Love DATELINE
Buster isn’t ignorant-he isn’t gonna go against his dad until the $ has run out & he’s truly on his own!
Absolutely
EXACTLY
The two ppl on this panel that think that Alec is innocent are absolutely crazy.
The two guests essentially advocating Murdaugh's innocence are ridiculous. To the female guest, if he didn't pull the trigger and knows who did he's still guilty because that would mean he hired someone to do it. What motive would a stranger have to kill only those two and not Alec when he was there at the scene? Yes lady, its not up to Alec to prove his innocence but the prosecutors proved his guilt.
He has to defend daddy, bc hes getting money from daddy by all his brothers.
Eric Bland is the only intelligent, sane one of Vinny’s guests 👍 we all feel secure in the absolute knowledge of
Alex’s guilt and psychology.
What a pain to not have gathered the guilt and needlessly worry that the killer is still out there. That would be a drag.
Lol, the look on Bland’s face when someone in the discussion says something that’s only speculation. 🤣
Eric is the 100% most arrogant self righteous - acting as if he is some kind of warrior for justice as he is racking in millions. And oh my gosh the way he drones on and on and on in monotone ugh
I've never seen Bland so quiet on these type of shows.
Eric clearly says “…he was at the Edisto beach house at the time when Stephen was shot.” SHOT…???

@@nadagabri5783 Right, it’s because he sees through all the speculation! He EARNS what he is paid. Many aspects of one’s knowledge comes into these perps and what they do. He knows that stuff. Stop with the nonsense and jealousy!
I find it hard to believe that Buster did the Fox Nation interview for the money. He had to know his cooperation in an interview would shed renewed criticism on him. I bet Alex pressured him to do it. I think Alex will continue to use Buster to get things he needs, and in a way I feel sorry for Buster (who probably cringes whenever he sees phone calls come in from his Dad). I feel sorry to say that the only thing that may bring Buster peace is when his Dad finally dies in prison.
If Alex truly loved and wanted his son to begin to heal and move forward with his life from this these horrific murders he committed then he should come clean with Buster and tell him the truth, but regardless of his appeal he probably will never do that because he’s a selfish, manipulative, self absorbed man who will take that lie to his grave rather then risk losing the last person who is still willing to support or help him in anyway in prison.
If Alex cared about his family, he would have NEVER destroyed their lives! He knew he was caught stealing, he would be stripped of his law license and he would spend the rest of his life in prison.
Everyone thinks he has all this money stashed but he didn’t -he spent it all…he knew the hammer was coming down at work & any money he could get his hands on was wrapped up in Mag & Paul’s lives/murders & his inheritance from his father so, yes, they had to go & he planned it long ago bc he knew his stealing would catch up to him (Paul was a bonus problem & solution)
He was pretty caught up in it and clearly not alone in his criminal activities. It seems like gambling. Your behavior is compulsive. He was being protected. You don't miss millions of dollars or overlook so many dubious things . Alex may be a patsy. Sure he's guilty but the amount of cash and circumstances don't add up. I don't buy the opiate addiction but think drugs are huge part of this saga. I bet Murdough is mayor of the cell block. He's a good old boy ,He's a big fish in a little pond. He's a jailhouse lawyer. No one's gonna shank him he's still connected. He can do favors and will. This is action. He loves it in a cell or his mansion
Keep the updates coming!
Eric is right these other 2 oye 🙄
The other two should be embarrassed.
Did he Even Hear The Words that His Father Spoke? Personally, I think that this Makes him a Liar too!
He probably cant bear to admit it right now.
Oh ,most definitely
Survivors guilt? His father chose to be a family annihilator to save face, if Buster was at the house, Alex would have taken him out, too. Maybe, this is why Buster feels someone is still out there who can do him harm, but he can’t admit it could be at his father’s hands.
Buster says what he says. He is answering questions after a life- altering experience. Leave Buster alone for crying out loud.
No one is forcing him to talk. He is there of his own free will. He is a grown adult man. Many people have life altering experiences and don't appear on television. Your "crying out loud" is rather pathetic. He isn't a toddler or a young child.
@sophie-pl4pz OH, sorry I struck a chord with what you perceive is a childish idiom. I really am not commenting on his decision to talk to the media. For sure, it is his prerogative to talk to whomever he wants. It's just the comments calling him out, etc. Just let him speak without tearing him down. But, I am aware that not everyone shares this opinion.
Anyone here believe Alex would serve a sentence to protect Buster from a "real killer"?
Me either.
I do.
Alex needed to have Buster out free to manage all the stolen millions because he was done already anyway after the he got busted on his thefts.
19:10 this woman is a space cadet
So just because these two can’t wrap their heads around the fact that Alex murdered Maggie and Paul must mean it’s not true. Oh please! How ridiculous is that?!! Then how did he not hear the gunshots 5 minutes after he left the kennel and went back up to the house??? The timeline says a lot.
He’s guilty af and I hope he’s haunted every night in his sleep for the rest of his loser life.
Buster is wearing a $20,000 Rolex Submariner
Money 💰
Matt, thank you
What’s really sad is Buster was and is probably brainwashed imo by his own father
And scared he could be in danger by being negative just sayin this case has been crazy but I totally believe Alex is in prison because he’s guilty guilty guilty of murdering his own family period and thank you for your great coverage 😊❤
I don't think Buster truly understands the lengths thst addicts will go to maintain their life and keep their lies from coming out. My sister has been an addict for 24yrs. She would do anything to continue in her house of cards!
Buster is in denial only because Alex is his father.
Exactly.
I don’t know if he even believes his own words. It’s just PR for the remaining family.
😂Love the statement, Alex being the Mayor of the jail
Thanks court tv and vinnie .love your chanel and the cases your cover.but Vince your the best Reporter/journalist on RUclips.thanks for the entertainment..Melissa from Australia 🇦🇺
The man is traumatized and has been brain washed by his father his whole life. He will come around eventually just give it time.
I think some of the salacious theories spreading about Buster with respect to the death of Stephen Smith despite no evidence is making Buster see his father as a victim of the same kind of thing..I don't blame him in a way even though its unfortunate that he's not more accepting of the kind of evidence the jury obviously saw in his fathers trial.
Great comment. Makes sense.
@@suzannaj3834 🙂
I remember someone said "Only Murdaugh could kill another Murdaugh".. They were so powerful that no one could touch them and I think it's true...
I'd say Buster knows Alex did it but still can't stand up to his dad after a life of not questioning his overbearing direction. Buster had a great childhood I am sure he left home with no complaints and to see I'd say every Murdaugh sibling back away from Alex has left him feeling like it is his responsibility to stay. We kind of saw from the jail calls how Alex says how it is and buster can become a bit flustered. The interview was something Alex set up for his son and it was simply easier to go along with it as he always has. Easier also in the same way this stance holds off the media somewhat by denying them the "better" interview which would mean delving into the details of living with a parent like Alex, parents relationship, and when he knew he was guilty, perhaps uncovering uncomfortable truths in that perfect childhood that were not what they seemed at the time when put under any level of scrutiny. I have also long wondered about Buster's feelings toward Paul and whether he at least believed Paul had brought it upon himself.
Alex is guilty and Buster is spinning for the appeal.
Tbh, this family is just creeping me out now. Nothing`s normal, nothing is straightforward.
That’s a good thing. Your instinct is telling you stay away from ppl like that!
Because they are all entitled crooks
Buster serves as the "golden boy" in this horribly dysfunctional family. He makes family appear normal and great. Paul😢was the "scapegoat" and "truth teller". They enabled him like hell to be an alcoholic and out of control, and then they blame all the family problems on him. Also, his daddy said he was like the f b I. He was afraid he was gonna tell the truth. It's a God thing, that Paul, the truth teller, told the truth with that dog video and busted his dad posthumously in spite of all he tried to do.😅 Way to go, Paul! 🙏 Buster is in DENIAL- Don't Even No Im Lying. These families always cut you out of the will, discard you for telling the truth, not towing the line. I think buster is also a psychopath like Daddy.
Love your voice Vinnie!!!
Money is the root of all evil
Buster is just like he’s Evil father! “Like father like son” No remorse at all !
Buster has been accused of a crime he did not commit so in his mind it's not a far stretch to believe his dad was accused of something he didn't do also. The coastguard said the fog was so thick that accident would have happened if none of those kids were drinking, they were all drinking that night but the media has unfairly attacked the Murdoch family because of money grubbing lawsuits in his mind it's not far fetched to believe his father was being unfairly accused because he has been unfairly accused of Stephen Smith's murder.
I agree he’s just like his father the apple sure didn’t fall far from the tree. Even when him and his father was trying to get him back in law school with money pathetic shameful behavior it’s all in them jail calls.
He’s just unemotional. Incredibly unemotional.
Excellent analysis! You address the right issues, Sir. I think that for how own sanity, Buster should cut all links with his father.
Buster is in a denial process. His girlfriend should leave him for her own sanity.
The lady thinks the guy is innocent! I don't believe it! The guy was there 5 minutes before they were murdered and he constructed an alibi with his mother's maid and his own maid. What better proof do you need!
I love you had Eric Bland on here!
Same here!
How embarrassing for a podcaster and an internet lawyer that just do not have an ounce of common sense! Matt Harris… I listened to a couple of minutes of him and he is just not right. I couldn’t stand any more than that. Alex screwed over his whole family and “friends and coworkers” that he knew most of his life. Psychopaths have no remorse or feelings for anyone but himself.
Concerning the $15 he wanted to put on somebody's books, sounds like Alex was paying for some smelly pills or 1/10 a smelly bundle...
Clearly, he's terrified his father will have him taken out, if he shows a hint of disbelief.
So shes saying that Alec is willingly being the FALL GUY for the murders of his wife and son!? Come onnnnn now!!!
🔜Busters going down for the Stephen Smith murder.
Why? Buster’s potential involvement been disproven to the point nobody even claims it anymore
Your IQ is too low to be watching channels like this.
Too many people came forward. Too many to think it was just misinformation.
Yep, it’s Buster’s turn to speak. Too bad if everybody don’t like it.
Doesn't mean he's telling the truth.
@@loopy1159 He’s saying what’s in his heart. His truth. He can very well believe the man that raised him is innocent. And their are other people being looked at in the Stephen Smith case now. So I believe him.
@angelaa6431 good on u.
Bet Buster is sure glad he wasn’t home that weekend!
I like that buster has the ability to study this case for 6 weeks, he couldnt manage to study for his exams, instead he fell back on his fathers cheating ways. The trial was fair, the evidence was as clear as crystal and the outcome was right.
yep Buster is a chip off the ole block. He is exactly like his dad Alex
How can you be an attorney and educated and not understand or study psychopathic behavior? The evidence was overwhelming and I can’t believe this attorney is so obtuse and say he didn’t do this. I believe she knows he did it, she is just taking the opposing view to get some air time and attention
This was a great episode. 😂 Thank you for the entertainment.
Yea put yourself in Busters shoes. I hope he goes after all of them in civil court after what they have put him thru.
@@dv1267put him through he was most likely part of it as well
I personally have never been in prison but even i know that its VERY common for inmates to bargain canteen & phone pins they all do it. Hes not the first & wont he the last 🥴
Alex is guilty and Buster is very similar to his father. I think he knows his father did it. I think he knew right in the beginning.
I think it disgusting that Murdaughs had so many guns and killed any animal that crossed their path.
The killing thing is a deal breaker- that’s just not good
Alex took any opiod that came in his path also. Was cruel to sex slaves also.
I agree 100%!!!
Because he can't admit to himself that his dad is guilty despite the overwhelming evidence, he cries "unfair trial". What a cop out.
Why did he say jurors like that?😅😂😂
This woman is not very smart. I follow the trial and was proof 💯. Eric it’s a good lawyer and he is right.
She and Matt both should be embarrassed.
If Buster or Paul had nothing to do with Stephen's death, why were the Murdaugh lawyer brothers on scene talking to everyone including Mrs. Smith, and offering her legal assistance? That behavior mirrors what they did at the hospital after the boat accident.
You’re right it is odd and I believe they’re dodgy and always have been .
My question is where is the outrage of the possibility of the real killer being out there. Why isn’t he working to find the real killer and redeem his father’s name
The perjuror forgot his phone calls and Sled official presser stating they found evidence related to S.Smith therefore the case would be reopen.
