His defense strategy was to blame everything on opioids but it didn't work. I don't think his lawyers had other choice anyway. Too many evidences. Now, they need to held accountable everyone who allowed or enable him with his wrongdoings.
Only because the judge doesn't understand the nature of sociopathy. He's actually giving Murdaugh an out for his inhuman behavior... blaming the pills, which was the defense strategy all along. The real culprits is Murdaugh's associated narcissism which means his brain cannot feel the emotions of non-effected people. He's not feeling guilt now, just disappointment that he couldn't talk his way out of killing his family... he thought he could until the very end. Normal people can't understand how a sociopath is wired differently - always looking for how anyone could do such things without remorse. They are essentially a non-feeling machine wrapped in a meat suit and whose behavior is based on mimicking what they've seen in other people. It's an old movie, but the "replicants" in the old 1982 Harrison Ford movie, Bladerunner were engineered sociopaths.
he’s definitely fair and patient.. it helps me have faith in our govt/judiciary systems to see men like this man and women like the judge over the Wakasha Parade killer’s Judge
What alex did, did happen because of his opioid use. I know this because I'm dependant on opioids since prescribed them for an injury. It soon took over my life but I would never ever hurt anybody no matter how desperate. I would never steal to pay for it. So when I see people blame the fact they committed a crime on drugs i just don't buy it. You have to have something inside you that makes you capable regardless of drug use.
I am just utterly and completely in awe of this judge ! In all the trials I've watched , I have never seen a judge like him . He's the epitome of what a judge should be ..Well done your honor❤
Wow, what a judge. So quietly powerful. He spoke to Alex as a human being - it really seemed like he was trying to get him to unburden himself and confess. He just kept twisting the knife of the horrors of Alex's actions, but Alex never cracked, never broke down. That right there shows how disconnected Alex is from his actions.
@@karengp162 Unempathetic narcists like Alex M. doesn't have any remorse within their hearts to feel sad. So there is nothing for them to show unless pretentious crying or pretentious sadness to acted out. One has to have a devilish mindset to murder their own family members. What I can't imagine to this day is, when realizing WHAT THIS MAGGIE & PAUL might have felt when they saw that the man who was gunning them down is their own husband/father? It's alone a bone chilling act many cannot do.
This judge and prosecutor are my hero's. I'm from N.C. and this shows true justice can still prevail. Prosecution didn't miss a beat and prove this case 100%. Prayers to all who contributed to justice for Paul and Maggie Murdaugh. Prayers to the Murdaugh family as well. Never get to big for your britches, treat everyone the same. Money may buy you things temporarily but human compassion can not be bought. LET THAT SINK IN!!
@@antoniomitchell1883 that's why he's sticking to his "I'm innocent" story. He knows very well that some convictions get overturned due to any number of reasons. You can't un-lawyer guys like him.
I am probably the only one here who also has empathy for Alex Murdaugh because I am trying to understand why he became such a monster. What did he experience in his family of origin, how was he raised to become such a psychopath? I suspect the family had huge psychological issues. Every person/child reacts differently to psychogenic influences. In Alex's case, they seem to have had only a negative, destructive effect. I can only guess...
@@violax3467 i actually did feel a tinge of empathy for the guy too at times. Its a fleeting moment when u think back to imagining what P & M"s last thoughts must have been. Plus all the victims of his stealing like the housekeepers sons or the paralyzed kid.
Impressed by this wonderful and kind judge who gave AM the proper verdict in my opinion. That man is the best judge and human being, ever. He made me cry.
I was hoping he’d call him Paul respectfully or softly, even maybe his full name? Just one time? He is clingin to Paw paw. He said Paul in all the interviews right?
*This seems like a judge who isn't power hungry, doesn't act for public attention to himself or for TV 📺 ratings but only does his job in a calm and professional manner. Who could have believed that such judges still exist in today's world of social media and a world driven by ratings!*
All along I've felt this has been like a Shakespearean tragedy. When Alex said on the stand, almost under his breath, "Oh what a tangled web we weave..." (when first we practice to deceive.) I almost fell out of my chair. That's about as close to a confession as I think he'll ever give. I thought it was from Shakespeare, but it turns out it was from a Sir Walter Scott poem. Such a potent way of saying "Lies beget more lies, which beget more lies," so don't even start that ball of yarn unravelling!
Yes! When I first started following the case I told a friend that it reads like Shakespeare, or a Verdi opera. The fall from grace is real. God have mercy on us all.
Yes the judge could have taken this opportunity to get out his own anger but was Flawlessly full of character, which has an even stronger impact, especially showing what that looks like to Alex Murdaugh who has so little, or none, of that. The Lord made this man a Judge for a Great reason…and he is a Very Excellent one!
For someone convinced so vehemently they are innocent, not one tear, not one reaction. I guess he used it all up on the witness stand!? As an official court reporter, I can say I’ve seen every one of the guilty act this same way. So has he, and he still acts the same way! Why? Because he knows he did it. That my friends, is a psychopath!
Right? I cried & I don’t even have high opinions of the victims (but, they did not deserve that). It’s tragic he seems corrupted by privilege & status. He should’ve asked his Dad to get him out of another mess years ago. Yeah, he turns his emotions on & off at will, psycho/socio path. Iirc one is born & the other is made?
Judge- “and I know you have to see Paul and Maggie during the night time when you’re attempting to go to sleep… I’m sure they come and visit you… I’m sure.” AM- “All day and every night” Judge- “Yeah, I’m sure… and they will continue to do so and reflect on the last time they looked you in the eyes” Buster Murdaugh- closes his eyes and slightly shakes his head in disbelief of his fathers confession of being haunted by the people he murdered. 41:43
Imagine how these two people might have felt the eternal horror, when they saw that their own father/husband was directing the gun on them at point blank and ready to murder them? By that imagination scenario itself makes my bones feels chilling.
Even if by a very small chance he did not kill them by pulling the triggers, his evil actions killed them if someone else chose to kill them for retaliation.
I don't believe for a second that Buster and Alex's brother (sitting a few rows behind Alex) think he is innocent. They are reasonable people. They are not stupid, and stupid is what you would have to be to believe anyone other than Alex killed his wife and son.
They've known him for a lot longer than you can say you've even known their name existed. They were on the ground when all this started. They knew what he was like under the influence of these substances. Maybe they know more than you.
There's is no answer to the question "why" he or anyone would slaughter they're family...only the defendant can answer...and even then it would not make any sense...
I thought it was very interesting to see the officer standing behind Murdaugh nod in agreement when he hears that the 2 life sentences will run consecutively rather than concurrent; meaning he has no chance for parole!!
Yes murdaugh is guilty …. But sled should be ashamed of the investigation they did. It was sloppy at best and for sled in cohorts with waters to hire a “blood expert” from Oklahoma who had previously caused a man to be wrongfully convicted and spend 13 years in prison was a terrible call , the way that they tried to hide the snottiness of his “work” in this case and the shameless way they tried to have it admitted as evidence was disgusting. They were found out and they tried to stall and hide all the info from the defense and then tried to have another witness regurgitate his faulty “report” as his own before this judge shot that down too. Also make note that keel was literally just in court a week ago in civil rights case where he side stepped a judge and did what he wanted to anyway - he was ordered at this point to pay $11,700 in legal fees for this wrongdoing. For that clown to get up and talk about Justice …. Laughable …. Yes murdaugh is guilty but make no mistake there are corrupt crooked ass people in SC from the top on down
Thank you for your comment. I think the same way. How did the other murders get brushed under the rug? It took more then one person.....it took teamwork to do it.
Love this judge. What a kind and compassionate gentleman. As for Alex Murdaugh, he betrays himself with his final lie, shaking his head “yes” while claiming he would never hurt Maggie and Paul. He knows the truth even if he won’t speak it.
His family was controlled by him in a way we don’t understand, narcissistic people are charmers , they spoil their prey with food , gifts , vacations etc , Maggie was codependent on him and I’m sure a sweet good little wifey . It’s messed up , I’ve seen it in my family and it’s a hard road with emotional and psychological abuse that is hidden from public view . He was a cold blooded POS and I hope he lives to be 100
Hard for regular people to understand how sociopaths think. I see body language experts trying to interpret their body language. Don't they understand the Murdaughs of the world don't feel emotions... every frown, faked tear is an act they learned by copying other people. Just a machine wrapped in human skin. That perpetual frown isn't involuntary - it's deliberate and in keeping with the "I'm innocent and being mistreated" playbook.
He is appealing he's just not going to waste his time with a judge who is biased against him and engineered the case to reach a guilty verdict. This trial was originally 3 weeks it spiraled into 6 weeks with the majority of the trial being based on prejudicial financial crimes evidence that had nothing to do with this murder. He will likely win on his appeal because of that. Even if you believe he is guilty you should demand better of the prosecution and the state because this can happen to you too.
@@perrinbesch40 The lawyers came out after I made this statement and said their appealing, but guess what? He’s not getting out of prison in this lifetime.
The one truthful statement he made on the stand answers that. "That boat wreck was the reason Paul and Maggie died." He was days away from losing everything he coveted...His reputation, His career, His wealth, and the Image that He had so carefully assembled.
This way of thinking is exactly how he was charged with murder. The state's case was based on prejudicial evidence hoping the jury would believe the same way you do. If he's a thief then he must be a murderer. He was not at the scene of the crime when they died. How do we know that without a shadow of a doubt: He was miles away when Maggie's phone was moved, by whatever means, to the woods. Just because this man is able to steal from others does not mean he has the ability to disconnect himself and kill the two people he loved the most his life. He couldn't even put down one of his dogs how could he kill his wife and child? Change the way you think. This can happen to you.
@@fobloveralways226 killers we’re waiting in the tree line and waiting for him to leave. He lied because he was afraid Sled would make the same assumption you did. And he probably didn’t want to be asked what did you talk to them about last because it was likely a stupid argument. It’s hard to believe he would kill the two people he loves most to buy him a single month of filling time. That’s absurd.
@@roscojayco5527 when you can get that evidence into a court room I’ll believe you. But that is an incredibly sketchy point to make. Also sounds like you are making the assumption that because he likes dogs he’s willing to kill his family.
Sorry but Paul was not a sweet little boy. He was following in his father’s footsteps and was growing up to be just like him thanks to both his parents for covering up for him and turning a blind eye to all his evil actions. I don’t feel any sorrow for either Maggie or Paul and glad Alex will rot in prison. They are all a horrible family.
The guy will have an easy time in prison. Think about every prisoner wanting him to write appeals, briefs , etc. for them. Murdock won’t worry for a thing.
@@corneliamerth8237 Helps to know what you are talking about. His family practiced personal injury. He is an ambulance chaser, not a district prosecutor.
During the trial, Alex Murdaugh never said "I did not kill Maggie. I did not kill Paul." He answered "I did not" to the question asked by his lawyer but never uttered "I did not kill them". During his sentencing, he used the words "I WOULD never HURT" not once but TWICE. Coming from the mouth of a sleasy lawyer, it speaks volume about the culmination of his life of lies!
Love his sentencing / sent to prison on the anniversary of Mallory’s body being found. Paul started this ball rolling, and in a sense he ended it. God is good.
Has he been given drugs still or is he supposed to have gone through withdrawal & off everything now? He seems to have a smirk on his face a lot. Like he thinks he put something over on everyone. I feel for both families & victims & towns people that all have been betrayed. They wanted to believe the good but evil is so dark & can invade rich & poor.
This is what money does to you, the most evil object in the world. Rich people eventually end up losing themselves and looki ng down on others. This was pure evil. He has no remorse and what strikes me is that his brother and son had no reaction whatsoever. It is ok to work hard and pay bills, rich people devote their lives to their wealth and the human being part of them is stripped away by greed.
Money doesn't make people evil. Lots of rich people are good and generous. But money allows people, who already have evil in their hearts, the ability to commit crimes and often times buy their way out of it.
One theory I've seen floating around was that he killed Paul to "save him" from the trial of killing Mallory Beach and then killed his wife to "save her" from financial ruin. But only he really knows for sure.
He was being sued big time for boating accident. By killing Paul, that would go away. Maggie wasn't wearing her wedding ring, properties on her name, pending divorce. Kill her and that's sorted. The both of them also found all his drugs.
I also believe his wife had been to see a divorce lawyer. That would have been costly. Son found the pills at the beach house. Paul was also facing the boat accident that killed Malory. Dad lent the boat and they were suing for 4 million.
He will go to the grave insisting he “would never HURT Mags and Paw Paw”. Why will he NEVER admit the truth? Because some of his (-and, even Maggie’s) family members cannot allow themselves to believe he could do it, and, if he were to admit to this act, he would sever the only bonds he has left…the connection to the only people in the world who still love him (-at least the *idea* of who they THINK he is).
An oft overlooked point in cases like this where the perp begs for clemency and forgiveness because he/she was an alcoholic or opioid addict, claiming addiction was the reason for the crime: bull shit: you are a liar, thief and killer who happened to be taking drugs. Not the other way. Murdaugh, a slimey little killer, was grasping at straws. He killed his son and wife in cold blood and then lied about it. And now he'll be bending over for Rover for the rest of his worthless life. Ouch. That's gotta hurt!
27:28 I actually believe Waters was being truly sincere in his statements about feeling for the Murdaughs who Alec left in his wake of greed and chaos. I thought he was innocent for a while but I guess I too had been fooled
John Marvin is wearing the same shirt Paul was wearing in his boat case mugshot. I wonder if it is actually Paul’s shirt & he was wearing it in memory of him? Pretty Subtle way of honoring & representing him on this day of sentencing if so. It’s interesting that Not One member of the Murdaugh family sat on the other side of the courtroom representing Maggie & Paul. In the beginning of the trial I can somewhat understand that but it wouldn’t of taken me long to be on the other side representing them. Probably after Rogan’s testimony & for sure after Will Loving testified I’d be over there.
The part about how he must see M & P at night... 😱 I'm not sure he actually feels any guilt or remorse tho. Maybe he somehow convinced himself he didn't do it.
It's sad for family, mostly, tragic for buster, life will forever be 100%changed. His drug abuse, what Dr. Would ever issue that out, had to be dealers, perhaps he owed them massive $$$$. Wonder if Alec was given choice of his life, or to take his fam members life. If dealers involved, Alec was too scared for his own life, and knew his son and wife would forever live in poverty, shame and danger, if they had lived. If he faked his own suicide attempt, maybe he should've taken his own life, and at least given son and wife chance to rise above, or at least chance for son to become father, husband and Maggie a life as grandma, buster a chance to be uncle.. Such an uneccessary tragedy, but Alec held whole situation in his hand.God bless them all. Prayers to the family.🙏🙏🙏❤️
If his family is that powerful I wonder if he can act like he’s going to Jail just to please the public but be secretly let out and have a new identity given to him . Never under estimate the power of wealth and blood line
@@timgravalese6752 this whole case gives conspiracy vibes . Look how many murders they were allowed to committ and not to mention the things we will never know about .
surely seems like judge was nice and wanting and was giving alex ample time in front of him to ADMIT it, to sentence less time, he was very nice judge, but appeal will happen surely, he's only getting 10-20 years, he's 54 or 64 - 1958-b-day, can't live forever, so who knows how long he will live in jail and he still have to life to face other crimes, the judge was pretty fair and open minded wanting alex to say something maybe it would of helped, but now they need to look for other killers, maybe there is evidence they will find or suppress in the appeal-always usually happens

God forbid. Who would be so demented to ask his advice when he didn’t get away with his own 2 murders, got caught in a boatload of lies (pun intended), was caught stealing millions from clients, partners, family, friends, was caught on audio/video at the scene, botched suicide for hire, etc. Etc. Ad infinitum? You’d have to have been lobotomized to want his legal advice, unless you wanted to willingly “walk the plank” and jump ship (pun intended). I mean, can we be real for a moment? Inmates should be giving Mur Mur legal advice. Surprised he passed the bar exam and became a lawyer. Then again, maybe he cheated, lied and plagiarized his way through law school. We sure as hell know he was useless as a father, son, husband and mentor. Such a waste of his life. He should have done great things especially since he was born into wealth an privilege. With that, I am threw!
I love this Judge. He's kind but takes no shit.

I’m sure she wants to remain sensitive to her nephew as he has likely convinced himself of his father’s innocence.

Very true.

This trial was originally 3 weeks it spiraled into 6 weeks with the majority of the trial being based on prejudicial financial crimes evidence that had nothing to do with this murder. He will likely win on his appeal because of that. Even if you believe he is guilty you should demand better of the prosecution and the state because this can happen to you too.
@@perrinbesch40 The lawyers came out after I made this statement and said their appealing, but guess what? He’s not getting out of prison in this lifetime.
@@TalkCafeTV true and the scum bag thief deserves the time just not for something it’s unlikely he didn’t do.
Maggs and PawPaw had their Day in Court today and Justice was served. RIP
Pawpaw was irresponsible bcuz his mother father let him do what he wanted to all his life ,the execution was carried out by his dad
GTFOOH another PawPaw……. I can’t with this guy
Lol he’s really pissed that pawpaw evidence screwed up his story 😂
My question still stands, why kill them!
The one truthful statement he made on the stand answers that. "That boat wreck was the reason Paul and Maggie died." He was days away from losing everything he coveted...His reputation, His career, His wealth, and the Image that He had so carefully assembled.
If a so-called respectable man of his community can kill his wife + son in cold blood then imagine the other things he's capable of or has done?
This way of thinking is exactly how he was charged with murder. The state's case was based on prejudicial evidence hoping the jury would believe the same way you do. If he's a thief then he must be a murderer. He was not at the scene of the crime when they died. How do we know that without a shadow of a doubt: He was miles away when Maggie's phone was moved, by whatever means, to the woods. Just because this man is able to steal from others does not mean he has the ability to disconnect himself and kill the two people he loved the most his life. He couldn't even put down one of his dogs how could he kill his wife and child? Change the way you think. This can happen to you.
@@perrinbesch40 how do you explain the video of him being there 5 minutes before the murders?
@@fobloveralways226 killers we’re waiting in the tree line and waiting for him to leave. He lied because he was afraid Sled would make the same assumption you did. And he probably didn’t want to be asked what did you talk to them about last because it was likely a stupid argument. It’s hard to believe he would kill the two people he loves most to buy him a single month of filling time. That’s absurd.
@@perrinbesch40 murdaughers treat there dogs differently then there family members who they hate the most.
@@roscojayco5527 when you can get that evidence into a court room I’ll believe you. But that is an incredibly sketchy point to make. Also sounds like you are making the assumption that because he likes dogs he’s willing to kill his family.
Justice was served thank God 🙏
Sorry but Paul was not a sweet little boy. He was following in his father’s footsteps and was growing up to be just like him thanks to both his parents for covering up for him and turning a blind eye to all his evil actions. I don’t feel any sorrow for either Maggie or Paul and glad Alex will rot in prison. They are all a horrible family.
Finally. Hopefully Sled throws out the bad seeds in they’re organization. Hopefully the law enforcement and attorneys do as well.
The guy will have an easy time in prison. Think about every prisoner wanting him to write appeals, briefs , etc. for them. Murdock won’t worry for a thing.
Think of prisoners he placed in jail.
@@corneliamerth8237 Helps to know what you are talking about. His family practiced personal injury. He is an ambulance chaser, not a district prosecutor.
During the trial, Alex Murdaugh never said "I did not kill Maggie. I did not kill Paul." He answered "I did not" to the question asked by his lawyer but never uttered "I did not kill them". During his sentencing, he used the words "I WOULD never HURT" not once but TWICE. Coming from the mouth of a sleasy lawyer, it speaks volume about the culmination of his life of lies!
Love his sentencing / sent to prison on the anniversary of Mallory’s body being found. Paul started this ball rolling, and in a sense he ended it. God is good.
Has he been given drugs still or is he supposed to have gone through withdrawal & off everything now? He seems to have a smirk on his face a lot. Like he thinks he put something over on everyone. I feel for both families & victims & towns people that all have been betrayed. They wanted to believe the good but evil is so dark & can invade rich & poor.
AM wouldn’t be haunted if he never murdered his family‼️I feel sorry for Maggie family esp sister the most‼️
He thought he was the smartest person in the room
Prison orange suits him
I’m so happy about this sentencing!
This is what money does to you, the most evil object in the world. Rich people eventually end up losing themselves and looki ng down on others. This was pure evil. He has no remorse and what strikes me is that his brother and son had no reaction whatsoever. It is ok to work hard and pay bills, rich people devote their lives to their wealth and the human being part of them is stripped away by greed.
Money doesn't make people evil. Lots of rich people are good and generous. But money allows people, who already have evil in their hearts, the ability to commit crimes and often times buy their way out of it.
Money is not evil .... lol ..... the love for money is what is evil .... lol .... but then EVIL Is manmade human concept
If he wants to continue drug use, he can do that in prison. Guards hand them out!! Sad but true. 😕
Buster is is denial it’s all over his face
Now he’s saying to himself “who is PAW PAW”?
When will we all learn that Gingers truly have no soul?
The more you know.🌠
Like the saying goes - “I’d rather be dead than red on the head”
31:53 😮
Thank you!
What time will coverage begin today with victim impact statements, etc.? Everything is on pause as of 12:47 pm…
Seamed like a fair judge who found no joy in haveing to pass that sentence but sadly it had to be done.such an unthinkable crime.
That judge had no problem giving that MurDaugher the sentence he handed out hence why he will most likely die in prison.
He got his boots SMOKED! ☠️
29:18 you can tell the Deputy to the right of Murdaugh literally can’t wait to cuff him up and take him away lol
I think he knew he'd get found guilty but he plans to get a not guilty on a retrial.
Just don,t believe he killed them, what would be the point to kill wife and child and not the other child
as well. Just can,t except he
killed them.
well the evidence puts him at the murder scene during the murder so he did it
I still don’t understand why he killed them? To cover up what?
One theory I've seen floating around was that he killed Paul to "save him" from the trial of killing Mallory Beach and then killed his wife to "save her" from financial ruin. But only he really knows for sure.
He was getting sued for stealing money from his lawfirm and his clients
He was being sued big time for boating accident. By killing Paul, that would go away. Maggie wasn't wearing her wedding ring, properties on her name, pending divorce. Kill her and that's sorted. The both of them also found all his drugs.
I also believe his wife had been to see a divorce lawyer. That would have been costly. Son found the pills at the beach house. Paul was also facing the boat accident that killed Malory. Dad lent the boat and they were suing for 4 million.
He was losing all he had. Pathetic human.
He had it planned for years back,probably one of the reason he was supposed to have had a good happy marriage
Dear God why would u hurt ur wife n son?! 😔 😥😓😰😨😭
He will go to the grave insisting he “would never HURT Mags and Paw Paw”.
Why will he NEVER admit the truth?
Because some of his (-and, even Maggie’s) family members cannot allow themselves to believe he could do it, and,
if he were to admit to this act, he would sever the only bonds he has left…the connection to the only people in the world who still love him (-at least the *idea* of who they THINK he is).
Start at 49:50 and you are welcome
An oft overlooked point in cases like this where the perp begs for clemency and forgiveness because he/she was an alcoholic or opioid addict, claiming addiction was the reason for the crime: bull shit: you are a liar, thief and killer who happened to be taking drugs. Not the other way. Murdaugh, a slimey little killer, was grasping at straws. He killed his son and wife in cold blood and then lied about it. And now he'll be bending over for Rover for the rest of his worthless life. Ouch. That's gotta hurt!
No, the piece of shit will probably kill himself in jail like Jeffrey Epstein did.
In session at 25:30
What time are they back in session? No one seems to know or give information.
You can’t hurt them now… their with our father in heaven.😢😇
I could be wrong but I dont think he pulled the trigger. But he knows who did he just to scared to say.
He killed them until they died from it.
27:28 I actually believe Waters was being truly sincere in his statements about feeling for the Murdaughs who Alec left in his wake of greed and chaos. I thought he was innocent for a while but I guess I too had been fooled
John Marvin is wearing the same shirt Paul was wearing in his boat case mugshot. I wonder if it is actually Paul’s shirt & he was wearing it in memory of him? Pretty Subtle way of honoring & representing him on this day of sentencing if so. It’s interesting that Not One member of the Murdaugh family sat on the other side of the courtroom representing Maggie & Paul. In the beginning of the trial I can somewhat understand that but it wouldn’t of taken me long to be on the other side representing them. Probably after Rogan’s testimony & for sure after Will Loving testified I’d be over there.
The part about how he must see M & P at night... 😱
I'm not sure he actually feels any guilt or remorse tho. Maybe he somehow convinced himself he didn't do it.
Praise God 🙏
As if his second name sounds murdor
So nah parole or yay parole after 25 years???? He didn't say.
No parole.
It's sad for family, mostly, tragic for buster, life will forever be 100%changed. His drug abuse, what Dr. Would ever issue that out, had to be dealers, perhaps he owed them massive $$$$. Wonder if Alec was given choice of his life, or to take his fam members life. If dealers involved, Alec was too scared for his own life, and knew his son and wife would forever live in poverty, shame and danger, if they had lived. If he faked his own suicide attempt, maybe he should've taken his own life, and at least given son and wife chance to rise above, or at least chance for son to become father, husband and Maggie a life as grandma, buster a chance to be uncle..
Such an uneccessary tragedy, but Alec held whole situation in his hand.God bless them all. Prayers to the family.🙏🙏🙏❤️
well done your honor
If his family is that powerful I wonder if he can act like he’s going to
Jail just to please the public but be secretly let out and have a new identity given to him . Never under estimate the power of wealth and blood line
That’s some conspiracy theory thinking.
@@timgravalese6752 this whole case gives conspiracy vibes . Look how many murders they were allowed to committ and not to mention the things we will never know about .
Its very disheartening to think that there could be a slight chance he did not do it. I mean what if he didnt? And what was the motive?
surely seems like judge was nice and wanting and was giving alex ample time in front of him to ADMIT it, to sentence less time, he was very nice judge, but appeal will happen surely, he's only getting 10-20 years, he's 54 or 64 - 1958-b-day, can't live forever, so who knows how long he will live in jail and he still have to life to face other crimes, the judge was pretty fair and open minded wanting alex to say something maybe it would of helped, but now they need to look for other killers, maybe there is evidence they will find or suppress in the appeal-always usually happens
2 consecutive life sentences. No parole. Appeal to his death.
@@corneliamerth8237 nobody can live for that many sentences he’s not going to make it past 20 years

Can he still practice law from prison?
He lost his law license before this happened.
God forbid. Who would be so demented to ask his advice when he didn’t get away with his own 2 murders, got caught in a boatload of lies (pun intended), was caught stealing millions from clients, partners, family, friends, was caught on audio/video at the scene, botched suicide for hire, etc. Etc. Ad infinitum? You’d have to have been lobotomized to want his legal advice, unless you wanted to willingly “walk the plank” and jump ship (pun intended). I mean, can we be real for a moment? Inmates should be giving Mur Mur legal advice. Surprised he passed the bar exam and became a lawyer. Then again, maybe he cheated, lied and plagiarized his way through law school. We sure as hell know he was useless as a father, son, husband and mentor. Such a waste of his life. He should have done great things especially since he was born into wealth an privilege. With that, I am threw!
