He probably completely disassociates with the other internal Alec-the one who did it- He likely sees that Alec as almost a separate person-The wild Alec that he can’t show to anyone.
Yes, he was. He had plenty of preface to his testimony. He had known that this was going to be the defense's weak attempt to discredit him. I really detest Pooter.
he doest' need to stand his ground-- he is not supposed to take sides just present facts. he gave away his position - he thinks Alex is guilty he's not supposed to do that. he wouldn't answer yes or no
@@frelnc I know Pooter in real life and Pooter despises criminals way more than most people. Pooter would much rather be prosecuting but my guess is Pooter is being paid more in this one case than the prosecutor gets paid in his lifetime. Pooter would not be working this case for less than $3 million. Pooter is a good guy when he is not getting a drug dealer or a murderer out of hard time, and Pooter does not just win most of his cases-Pooter wins most all of his cases.
For everyone saying he’s an attorney and he didn’t think it through, no he did it’s he thought it through for someone with power. He was always able to manipulate the police or any crimes. So he didn’t even think he’d end up on trial. He thought just clearing his phone will be enough to show police and they leave him alone. He stole money from the firm so he probably thought he will just pay them off. For generations his family was bigger than the law. He probably was banking on both his insurance polices and Paul’s trust.
Finally got around to watching these full length videos. A lot of people including me hadn’t gotten the full picture of the timeline that this represents. He literally left no room for another person to have come in and killed them. The prosecution did a great job here laying out the onstar data paired with the phone movements of Alex and his family.
Alex also didn't know Paul was uploading the video with him by the tree in real time. What he also didn't know was that once you dial 911 it starts recording even before the operator answers.So everything was heard before he put on his show bawling.
Dude, anyone who plots a murder like this, this day and age, will never get away with it. I had no clue how ALL of this info was so easily tracked. I wasn’t aware that our cars record our every move! Let alone our phones. I almost wanna say that apparently AM didn’t know that either but he’s not naive like me because he’s a trial lawyer. He’s ARROGANT. He even deleted phone calls- knowing full well they can still be found. I think he just lightly cleaned up after himself and then expected that the cops would look elsewhere. He was wrong.
@@testboga5991 the defense attorney, "Poot", is condescending to female witnesses too - the way he treated the coroner was horrible. The jury won't forget that, either.
If Alex didn't kill Paul and Maggie then WHY didn't insist on Law Enforcement to find the killer/killers, WHY didn't he have a press conference with the media pleading with the public to call the police if they have anything that could help find the killer, WHY did he only offer an award for information for a limited time period (one month), WHY didn't he set up a Command Post to help Police to coordinate the search for the killer/killers, WHY did Alex continue to go around like normal with NO extra Security at his properties to protect the remaining family... I mean there is a killer out there going after the Murdaughs ??????? Very Simple: Because Alex murdered Paul and Maggie either by himself or with some help. Alex KNOWS there is no murderer out there and behaves in that manner
You can contrast his actions with those of Mark Klass, whose daughter, Polly, was kidnapped and murdered. He was a suspect but did everything he could to help LEO find the killer.
Been watching this trial from the start. For some reason this testimony really got to me and made me physically ill. We all actually saw a murder in real time stamps. So tragic. There is no punishment severe enough for AM.
Within 20 seconds of the suburban arriving at the kennels (coming from the house), Alex is able to determine that his wife and son are dead and calls 911. He immediately tells the 911 operator that his “wife and child have been shot”. How does Alex know the murders were from a gun? It’s dark at the kennels and their wounds would be hard to see at night. The killings could be by a knife or blunt object? I believe Alex said he checked Paul and Maggie’s pulses. It takes about about 10 seconds to check someone’s pulse properly and there are two dead bodies. The gun wounds are mostly in front of both bodies and the bodies are laying face down. Alex said he tried to move and turn Paul’s body but couldn’t. So why does he automatically assume they were “shot”? He cannot see the wounds in the dark and the entry holes would be covered up and the exist wounds would still be hard to see in the dark. He tells the 911 operator they were “shot” but only the murderer would “slip up” and say that because Alex is the murderer. How does Alex know it wasn’t a knife or blunt object that killed Paul and Maggie, Alex makes that key point of evidence that they were both “shot” within 20 seconds upon arriving at the bodies! Alex is the murderer and he should be asked by the prosecution to just confess and do everyone and himself a favor.
exCEPT the top of Paul’s head was kinda missing and his entire brain was in the ground…They were all hunters. He would know. But yeah-he did it-guilty.
There is a video of the interview in beginning where when the officer said something and Alex had a sly grin after the officer looked away to notes. He's done wrong so long he has evolved to evil.
First of all how do you know what the lighting situation was? There wee lights in the kennel and headlights. Second, if you know about guns and shooting, and Alex was a hunter, you'd know if someone was shot. It's pretty obvious.
I didn't think they were going to get a conviction until this evidence showed up. Now I'll be shocked if he doesn't go to prison. Could there be a more disgusting human being?
The only thing that concerns me is the defense still hasn't presented their case. Makes me nervous. There's so much overwhelming evidence after this testimony. I'm not sure how the jury could come back with anything other than not guilty.
@@whosthtgirl Why are you "nervous"? You want a conviction regardless of what the Defense has to say. You're one of those people I hope never gets to sit on a jury.
This time-line testimony did it for me. Modern technology is just amazing. Very hard to watch but it tells the story that Ms. Maggie and young Paul can not tell. And Paul's phone recording Alex at the scene , gave us a clear picture of what happened. Sort of made me sick. I can't imagine.😢
When aluc gave his testimony his fake tears did it for me when he said he turned his pawpaw over because of his brain was showing you know I pray like the judge said at sentencing, Maggie and Paul haunts his sleeping
That’s why he went alone to the hospital to see daddy! Remember he lured Maggie to Moselle under the guise of asking her to accompany her to the hospital. Maggie actually told her sister that she really didn’t want to go to Moselle but her sister encouraged her to go support Alex. The sister was devastated by it on the witness stand. Maggie was her only sibling. Maggie also texted Blanca the housekeeper telling her that AM asked her to come over to Moselle and she didn’t want to go. That old female intuition kicking in. In the end both Maggie and Paul testified from the grave to bury him in court
Per testimony he has bullshitted his way through life and career...science/forensics is a great weapon against bullshit. He thought he was gonna bullshit himself out of being committed for the murders.
I think he knew. That’s why location data was turned off on his. And possibly why Maggie’s apps were closed (as she had location services when using enabled) such as Facebook etc.
I saw him tell police he took his son's pulse. And then tell police his son didn't have a brain. Why would you take the pulse of someone who doesn't have a brain.
Just to be the devil's advocate here . ...if you truly came upon your loved ones and found that they were shot and even if you knew immediately by looking at them they were dead it would be next to impossible to accept. Denial runs strong. Especially when the system goes into shock. I remember one time I was sitting in a hospital with my baby and this poor lady ran into the hospital she was panicked .. I could hear her asking about her teenage son who had been in a car accident... They took her behind closed doors with the authorities and doctors .... then I heard this blood curdling scream and her yelling "are you sure??? It can't be are you sure it's him?!!!! Are you sure it's him? !!! How do you know??? (Honestly it was so awful and all I could do was hold my little boy and just cry for her, I mean I was traumatized just sitting there not even knowing this lady ...I think that happens a lot when loved ones get hit with news like this. It was the most awful experience When one of my family's beloved pups got hit by a car and died my parents they buried him and then were so grief stricken they dug him back up to make sure because they just didn't want to believe he was dead. The devil's in the details sometimes
@@courtneyr214 No matter how it turns out. He's going to prison for a long time for all the money he stole. But it's really sad because that's what drugs will do too a person. Kick God out and the devil will come in. And that goes for everyone. Have a blessed night.
HORRIBLE. I hope this family leaves the state. They stunk it up too much. GREEDY people who pretend to be "good folks". They were walking around with there noses up in the air like they were better then others.
Well, there it is.. this fine gentleman broke the case I believe. Stunning work, amazing detailed job. I would say this is the final nail innthe coffin for ol Alex Murdoch. Erasing calls and texts, scrambling around, driving fast from one property to the next and back, throwing his wife's phone and so on. Thank you for fine work sir 🙏
Peter you did an AWESOME JOB!!! We were CHEERING when you put defense in their place, it’s about time a witness dished it RIGHT BACK at them!! THANK YOU, most of America was sick of listening to the rude, arrogant, bullying of witnesses by this defense.
So are they saying that Maggie's phone was with Alex in his car as he left his home to go to his mother's. If so, that is devasting as he would have had to go to the kennel to get it .
We know he was at the kennels because of the recording Paul did showing the dogs tail. Both Alex and Maggie was there. He litterally killed them and then left for his Mamas. What an idiot taking her cell phone with him.
They were already dead when he went to his mother’s house. He had that blue raincoat with GSR particles all over it. He went to his mother to hide the raincoat, it’s believed that he was holding the murder weapons wrapped in coat. He went to his mom to create alibi, he tried to get Shelly, his mother’s caregiver to lie about the time he was there for. I think if the detectives followed the route he drove that night, they would find the guns
well, he rinsed off at the kennels, so he put Paul’s phone on his bottom, took Maggie’s with him. He went to the house and showered, leaving the damp towel in the closet with the t-shirt that fell down that Blanca testified to. Then he went off toward Moms house with her phone, tossed it out as he slowed down, drove in the tree line behind Moms house to dispose of the guns, drove home fast, called 911, then called Rogan, but never called his other son to make sure he was ok, because he knew he just killed Maggie and Paul. Buster wasn’t in any danger.
@@suzymoroka297at his Moms house, as the GPS shows his drive behind the house in the tree line. He slowed to toss Maggie’s phone out, shown by the GPS.
He’s an educated man, surely he must’ve known that with these modern cellphones, there’s nothing that the FBI couldn’t retrieve from them? I can’t decide which is worse, this or him claiming to have checked Paul’s body for a pulse when his 🧠 is lying next to his leg and he could see the crater he created on the back of Paul’s head? Claiming to have moved them both to check for signs of life and yet when the first responders arrived he had no blood anywhere! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Paul’s phone was last locked at 8:49:01 Maggie’s phone locks for the last time at 8:49:31 both lock 30 seconds apart. The activity on Maggie’s phone from 8:53:15-8:53:32 there were 59 steps and various orientation changes approximately 4 mins after both phones locked. I think the 59 steps and all the orientation changes was Maggie trying to get away after she witnessed Paul being murdered!
@@tarlabear77 agree.... Alec's relative John, said on the stand, that when he was at the scene (with the police there) he used Buster's iphone's app to 'ping locate' Maggie's phone. Jon told police her phone was up at the house. Then said the police weren't that interested or something like that... I found that very odd as the phone on the maps wasn't there but the house itself was full of lawyer friends, washing up dinner pots, putting leftovers food in the fridge. But maps show her phone was found by investigators off the side of the road, travelling _away from both the property (and AM's parents' house direction)_ - the *next day* at 1310hrs
How can you look into the faces of your son and wife and kill them in cold blood? Imagine their confusion and horror in their last seconds. Heartbreaking.
I'm here again. This testimony is riveting. What stands out the most to me a year after the trial is that AM was literally 2-3% battery life away from not getting caught. I hope Paul is resting in peace knowing that he secured justice for his Mother's death. RIP.
I know this pretty common sense here but here goes- He drives to his mother's house- Note- he asked Maggie to please come see her "father-in-law" that night but please come have dinner with Paul & him @ the house 1st, she agrees. He has been admitted to "the hospital." Notice, Alex does not call & ask Maggie before he leaves- where are you, or hey I am picking you up @ the kennels, nothing until he leaves the property & after her phone has been thrown out. When he calls he doesn't again ask her where are you, we were supposed to go see Dad. Just a brb I'm gonna go check on mom. Uh, momma isn't the one dying. Notice, when he leaves he doesn't head for the hospital, but his mother's home. Why, well I think we all know. When he gets to his mother's property does he ask the caregiver, hey, has Maggie came by or called? Nope. Could he have headed over to the hospital to see his Dad? Nope. Does he call Paul's phone to ask, hey, where is your mother, I can't find her. Nope. This would be common sense that normal people would have done. Plus, a little weird they didn't live together. What? Alex, in my opinion is what's called- Death by a Thousand Cuts. Means, it's not 1,2,3,4,5 things- it's a lot more circumstantial evidence than that. All of these put together- mean this cannot be an accident, this was intentional. All of these tiny pieces put together- can take you out.
That makes perfect sense. Unfortunately that doesn't work in a courtroom. If you're innocent you don't need to lie. That's enough evidence for me. Good thing I'm not on the jury.
@@joannephillips4110 Circumstantial case but each brick builds a wall of guilt. Alibi is gone, he was at the kennels right before the killings. Over whelming evidence now with all the phone/car GPS evidence. There is no one else that could commit this crime. Guilty.
Maggie and Paul were onto him. She was googling about pills she had found and Paul had voice mailed him and told him mom knew. Was she going to leave him? She should have never went to the house that night (the sister told her she should) but probably never suspected she'd be shot and Paul would be there to protect her.
This defense lawyer is behaving as if the people giving evidence are the guilty ones. Trying so hard to be intimidating, yet unsuccessful. Hats off to all these professionals, plenty respect!
That doesn’t make sense. No lawyer would think for one moment that a prosecutor would change just because of a look he could give him. You’ve got to remember that it is par for the course for prosecutors to manipulate truth for a guilty verdict even Knowing the person is innocent. Don’t you remember? Kamala showed us this is the way and look where she ended up.
I thought it showed he DIDN'T slow down?!?! He was turning on to the main road and hadn't got to speed yet (but was increasing his speed) and he was going 40 mph where the phone was found ...but, he did speed up to 70 mph right after that location where the phone was. Just a fine point that he DIDN'T actually slow down, he just wasn't going 70 yet.
Everybody in the courtroom seems to understand the gravity of all this. Their expressions are full of grief. I feel badly for his relatives who must certainly doubt Alex now.
The defense has not made their case yet. All they have to do is find one person who thinks the prosecution case is full of holes. It is a small backwards town. Odds are that AM walks on this.
@@thomasallen6980 I sure hope not. The jury can't take notes, so that timeline isn't going to be as fresh from them as it should. I guess once in deliberations they can put it all down on paper. Has some similarities to the OJ trial. " He couldn't do that." No race aspect but $$$ and power. Putting SLED on trial.
The Murdaugh family is entitled, greedy, arrogant and bad people so believe me they don't and won't buy it. They will simply makes excuses.They are all suffering from severe sociopath and borderline personality disorder.
Good for GM to deliver that information, that really nails the case. And I am very impressed by the perfectionism of that young man. He interprets that scientific data in a very plain and easy to understand way.
They didn’t. The FBI had to reverse engineer the computer system to get the data as GM sent the vehicle out with an encrypted system. It took time and a lot of very clever folk to get that data out of the system. I’m glad they did what was needed to crack the system to prove what was already known….AM slaughtered MM and PM and thought he was smarter than everyone else. I just hope the jury don’t mess this up.
@@Highland_Moo This agent was working on 3 Excel files sent by GM just days before, the other expert was extracting data from the car. That testimony is a combination of all that data.
Really true but it also seems like someone was bleeding him dry with blackmail…cuz drugs don’t cost 50-60,000 a week which are amounts he was giving this guy. But this guy is a front for something else most likely. Also this guy wouldn’t have shot him in the head and stopped his own payments. I think Alec and him know all the answers but are sticking to drugs as a cover still…Maybe he knew Epstein…was on the island… 🤷🏻♀️
It would have been interesting to have Buster and his uncles’ data included. They all had a motive to protect their legacy, solve an individual problem, or both.
To protect business you mean. It looks like this family has been smart in the wrong way. Using established reputation and knowledge of the system to their advantage.
@@pse888 not saying anyone else had anything to do with it but to say that a brother would NEVER kill his mother and brother over money is far from true. Like I stated I don't have a clue if anyone else was involved but there are people out there that do.
What a powerful testimony! In the end, it took Paul’s video proving Alex was in fact at the kennel before they were both gunned down by their own father/husband. That video for me was the nail in the coffin of a guilty verdict for this evil act. Finally, some justice have been served for the murders Maggie and Paul. May they both rest in peace.
He was shocked to the core when the persecutor told him that Paul had uploaded the video in real time. He tried to say it was made at some other time. He had no answer to that evidence. One could see his mind thinking in the end Paul provided and hand delivered the evidence.
Let’s not forget Maggie herself very well could have murdered the housekeeper and Paul did indeed cause Mallory’s death in the boat I’m not saying they deserved to die but they weren’t innocent angels either
This is the nail in his jail cell. The way the prosecutor laid it all out was like a Broadway symphony. It was like you can easily envision every move made as if you were the fly on the wall. My heart goes out to the family. This is one sick individual.
HE WAS EVIL SPAWN AND HE SPAWNED AN EVIL ONE HIMSELF.....AT LEAST HE KILLED THE KILLER OF MALLORY....ALEX IS DONE.....ALL THATS LEFT IS THE TRUTH FOR THE FAMILY.
This is the testimony that done it for me, very understandable and shows exactly what Alex did step by step, so heartbreaking. What an evil evil person.
Yes other than the video this sealed it, there was no need to go one. Sick man. Breaks my heart to think what Paul and Maggie went through the last moments of there lives. To see the man they loved kill them...
This what the ancient Greeks called a perfect tragedy. Alex is brought down increment at a time throughout his whole life, by his ability to make people like him and trust him as he dug a hole deeper and deeper bringing down those closest to him. Corruption leads to tragedy, always.
“Like him” .. or afraid of him and his power.. could be either or, or both depending on who it was. There will be a movie on this, so much corruption and death surrounding him and his family even before him. He is still manipulating his family members from jail.. there are tons of jail calls out there you can listen to. They may have finally put a stop to publishing them, I’m not sure if they can or if people stopped requesting and sharing them but he was not happy when he heard we were able to hear every word including how he was begging his sister to put money on other inmates books (illegal) for “ibuprofen”.. and how he’s offering money to buster, even just for spending money and telling him that he’ll never have to worry about money and he’ll take care of him and pay family members back as soon as he gets out. (Where’s the money? Most likely hidden somewhere or held by someone else). Anyways.. it’s crazy and I’m glad he seems to be finally going down. This timeline was perfect.
Yes, lie upon lie. A lifestyle that will eventually implide. He lied about everything - very hard to believe his marriage was healthy, as he describes it.
1:48:39. Why didn’t the prosecutor make a more explicit link between MM’s phone speed, time and location relative to AM’s vehicle speed, time and location. “At approximately 9:08:30 was the defendant’s vehicle and MM’s phone going approximately the same speed in the same location.” Am I wrong.
You are correct. He did say that. I was also surprised that he did not hammer that point home or forcefully but I think he plans to raise it again in his summation. That may well be his most important piece of evidence.
This is just stunning how much data their phones provided. I had no idea they could tell when my phone is unlocked or if it's angled vertical or horizontal. The only way for us to get anymore details is if everything were actually video recorded. They were able to prove that Alex called Maggie's phone to locate it, and then they could tell he moved it! All within minutes of her death. I haven't watched a lot of the trial but this is all I'd need to convict him.
Another observation which is odd. If you found your wife and son dead outside in your yard and it is pitch black at night with the nearest neighbor miles away, would you stay on your phone and call 911 at the scene of the crime. The murderer(s) may still be on the property, I would be afraid of getting shot like my wife and child got shot. I would immediately go back to the house or my car and retrieve a gun for self defense. I may even drive away from the property and call 911 in my car just to get away from the killers in case they are still lurking around on my property. Also, why does Alex tell the 911 operator to please come in a hurry. At the scene he says they were both shot in the head. 911 can’t bring dead bodies back to life. Also, how does he know that the wounds to the head were from a gun? He doesn’t mention any shell casings around the bodies probably because it is too dark. The head wounds could be from blunt force trauma to the head. Most people would just claim that my wife and child appear dead with wounds to the head. But he says they were shot! How does he know it was a gun! Because Alex was the shooter. Got it!
That was my immediate first thought. I would have jumped in the car and either driven up to the house or directly to the police station in case the murderers were still there.
Its sick how they treated the housekeeper. $10.00 per hr. AFTER 20 years? A woman living in a run down trailor & raising two children! AM family takes private jets & has two homes, could not buy that lady a new trailor or help out? The GREED is out of control. AM could have taken a million & given the rest to the family & it would have been overlooked. I hope this entire family LEAVES the state to clear out over 100 years of STINK!
idk but half the county looks inbred with Alec’s grandfather being the dad. I have never seen more red headed and strawberry blonde potato lookin people in my life! Every 3rd witness looked like siblings. And I have a line in my own family with red hair like that!
Alex M took an insurance policy out on the Housekeeper for millions. He got paid 4 million after her death. He lied and said he was suing for her children. I don't think the cops know who killed her or pushed her down the steps.
@Somee Nicks. During the trial, it was said that Maggie regularly left food in the pots on the stove. It would’ve been very easy for her to have put those pots in the refrigerator for Gloria to take home as leftovers the next day. But Maggie left them for Gloria to throw out and clean up the pots.
@@Somee989 it does make you wonder since Alex took out the policy just a month or so before the accident happened. But Paul was said to have been very fond of her because she acted more like a mother to him than his own mother did. it has been reported that Maggie suffered postpartum depression with Paul and was never able to warm up to him.
I’m rewatching in 2024 and remember being breathless at this testimony. They pinpointed the minute they died and every single movement he made after that. They really only needed this testimony to convict.
@ 01:47:58 just after 2 shotgun blasts and 5 assault rifle bursts alex leaves the property 1. he didn't hear those gunshots 2. he heard the gunshots but wasn't concerned 3. he shot those guns and hurriedly left the scene, to cover his tracks 👇 you chose number 3
These guys have worked hard and cell phones don't lie. But Alex obviously does. Very sad he's destroyed his family for such evil. Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. 😥
The timeline of Maggie's phone being moved then locked and the movement of Alex along the route where Maggie's phone was found the next day is damning to me. I don't think the prosecution really hammered that home as much as they could have.
The prosecution got all the data out but it did not really have an overall story line that underlined the movements in a way that was clear and decisive. I think that applies to the entire trial. It was very disjointed and failed to hammer home some important points imo.
The agent really knew his stuff! Impressed with his professionalism and on top of questions with precise answers. I agree, defense lawyers really did not seem to prove anything but that they can be a hotheaded jerk.
The bar seems to be unrealistically high for some people, as if they want to see a video of the perpetrator committing the crime or something. Bizarre.
Now, after the conviction, it’s a minor point, but something Waters could have used to show why AM was in such a rush to get to and from Mama’s house: There’s only one stop light between Moselle and his mother’s house. Not wanting to get stuck at a light or pulled over for running it, he navigated around it, as shown on the “dot map”. Check it out. Also, Waters should have asked AM why he didn’t go see Mom on his way home from work, where the drive is maybe 5 minutes away, instead of late at night.
@@ritaeichler2066 well, one reason is Maggie was not supposed to be home that night why would Alec call her to come home if he hadn’t planned to do something
Wow! Cel phone data pretty much convicted him already, and all the lies of course, but this has sealed it! No jury on earth could find him not guilty. Good job SC investigators 👍🇨🇦
This testimony sealed Alex's fate. 8:45 video of the scene with Maggie, Paul, and Alex 8:50 Paul and Maggie Died 9:06 Alex takes off This proves Alex was there. And who is the world googles a restaurant within the hour that your family is killed? I was also shocked in the interviews that Alex never said, "I should have had security. I should have had cameras. I never should have left them. I should have put a gate on the property. It was my fault!" He never takes any accountability at all. It was his job to protect his family, and he couldn't even take responsibility for that.
Look at the bodycam videos of copa arriving at the scene. Its disgusting, he is acting shocked and panicked but within less than two minutes he already is giving the cops detailed information about how his son Paul was being threatened because of the boat crash and blablabla. Totally insane that someone would immediately blurts out that so soon, so precise…
Could he, Alex have taken the opportunity of his fathers death and funeral to hide the missing guns and clothes in his father’s coffin. That one place that no-one would think to search.
Someone needs to teach data visualization, why not change the color of the dots when referencing each drive. Also could help benefit to have som arrows showing where the next dot is located.
Not easy as they only had this data for a week and had to aline it all together for the court. Maybe if they had this data when they first requested it then they could’ve done a better job with the presentation but as it stands I thought they did a good job and I’m guessing they deserve a good nights sleep now it’s done.
@@jenniferbailey5914 yeah that's fair. I'm assuming they get data like this often and could set up some systems to display it better, but I do understand about only having it for a week.
Let’s not forget neither of them would have even been home had Alex not beckoned them there!! He’s guilty but SLED didn’t do their job that night and should have searched the house immediately and thoroughly
This is a welcome member of law enforcement. He did a great job in preparing the information that was available and a great job in presenting it. This information used in contrast with the testimony of Murdaugh, makes a strong case for conviction. The defense had nothing authentic to offer. Unfortunately, Murdaugh has already been given leniency by the state of South Carolina by not pursuing the death penalty. If there was ever a case for the death penalty, premeditated murder of your wife and son execution style, is certainly that case. A lying caricature of South Carolina politics.
i did not realize they wasnt asking for death penalty....hes already toast on the money stuff...hes going to prison. ...NOW, i agree sheesh i thought all this time hes fighting for his life...what an ass why not spare everyone? NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER
AM doesn't deserve the death penalty. That's getting off too easy, let him rot in prison, I'm sure those around him will see to it his remaining miserable existence is a hellish one, 365, 24-7. He probably will be killed in prison eventually. Prison politics, he killed a woman and a child. Worse kind of rep u can get in prison, along side with the rapists and pedos..
@@doesthisfacemakemelooklike535 I agree and it also makes me realize how that title is easily used on so many people. When you see a real one you know it.
I think its best for him to live with only men in small cell for the rest of his life. He needs to live like the poor now and try to like it. He deserves it!
1:03:12 That's the expression of a man who knows he's done. Timing that with the break in the testimony and the sound of the passing siren was a nice touch on the part of the cameraman. Also, I studied GIS (Geographic Information System, which creates maps using data sets) as part of my major. It's so cool to see it used in a court case like this.
GIS is nothing. Each time you enter the range of someone's wifi it recognizes you by the individual signature of your heartbeat, police accesses your google doorbell without a warrant, microphones in lightpoles allegedly triangulate shootings, police drones in our domestic skies, each traffic stop an entry into Motorola's database feeding into fusion centers that also compile your health and financial data without any search warrant, little ultrasound bits on websites snitching on your surfing history to other apps and gadgets, ... The nwo is here for good and it's ugly.
He would have been better off saying he heard at least 7 gun shots while in the house, called and texted both to see if everything was ok, no answer, and went to check on them and then found them dead. But, the video with him there (that he knew nothing about), seals his guilt.
That is more believable, and then to claim a murder/suicide. But the physical evidence doesn't point to murder/suicide. Points to a planned execution of the two. And the only person on the property was .....Alex.
@@Redtopper02 Plus, the only one who just happened to be slowing down at the exact spot they found Maggie’s phone. He’s as cold blooded as you can get. Surely, his brother and son are getting a wake up call listening to this, that he really is as guilty as he can be.
@@holylandfan3275 I have no idea what to think about that family. That local law firm was a parasite on the community. Mostly did ambulance chasing cases, very few % actually went to trial. And they were taking 40% cuts from the plaintiff's settlement. That is a gravy train. The judges and the court system is all in cahoots with these plaintiff lawyers. Big settlements approaching $500k or more.
@@Redtopper02 I agree with every word. It wouldn’t surprise me if he also killed his housekeeper for the money. “The dog tripped her and she hit her head and never recovered.” She was worth millions to him dead. What he did to her two sons is unforgivable, and that only ONE case. Even Paul and Maggie were rude. Blanca was heading out the door after a long day working for them and Paul came in and wanted her to do his laundry right then. DO IT YOURSELF!! And, again, she was getting ready to leave and Maggie wanted her to prepare their dinner before they got home. RIDICULOUS! They are all scum.
He's making all these frantic phone calls because he was trying to establish his alibi that he was "occupied" when the murders happened. ALL this time he maintained that he only arrived at Moselle to find them dead. Paul's Snapchat was so inconvenient. He must be seething that he has to admit to lying that he HAD been there earlier with BOTH of them moments before they were murdered. If his lips are moving, he's lying.
1:47:12 so his iPhone and Maggie’s connected to same car when he was leaving for Almeda? ! Darn! This makes me sad, justice may be delayed but not denied. The slain Nigerian journalist said: ‘No evil done to man by man will go unpunished, if not now then certainly later, if not by man then by God, for the victory of evil over good can only be temporary’ ...Dele Giwa
We do km in Australia so I just worked out that 80mph is around 130kph. Even in my country that would be viewed as excessive speed especially at night on an unsealed road. Did he toss Maggie’s phone on the way to his mothers and I also am interested to know why he was parked at the railway at the end of his mothers driveway? His story is full of holes.
Totally agree ref speed; yes ref the phone ditching en route according to phone data (his & hers) & car data too. And yeah: Tetley teabags have less holes than this guy's story. He'll wish that roadside "suicide" attempt was successful before long I reckon.
@@beastshawnee maybe passed off the clothes to his brother to dispose of evidence. We need brother & attorney's phone & car tracking to see if either go to Alameda house that night to pick up dropped bag of clothes and guns.
I think the prison experience needs to be changed for a meditated murder. No contact with family or friends. No socializing with other prisoners; total isolation. No computer, phone, radio. Basically alive but not living, same as the victims.
I heard in India they don't provide inmates with food...your friends and family have to bring it to you! That would teach people not to hurt their families!!! I would love to know more about prisons around the world and how they run and fund things!
Brilliant testimony from this man. God works in mysterious ways- talking with friends and cell data are speaking for the victims. There is no question he did it. I hope the jury convicts this monster
They’ve known it all along but every accused is entitled to a lawyer so they consider it a public service to provide a defense. I assume they’re getting a pay a lot of money for their services, although I don’t know where the money is coming from.
Murdoch is a lawyer , presumably he knows how phone data and vehicle data is collected and stored. Kohlberger also a student of criminology but yet they both make absolutely basic mistakes regarding the phones. To take and drop Maggies phone on the road while driving his car is just plain stupid. When people become homicidal they obviously lose all the knowledge they have acrewed and take leave of their senses. Then they go to trial and are completely sunk by the records of their own stupidity, unbelievable.
As the State & FBI said, car manufacturers are incredibly proprietary over their data. I imagine he knew that, being a personal injury lawyer, and assumed GM wouldn’t give it to them.
Alex was an ambulance chase - a personal injury lawyer. He spent all his time on the phone negotiating with insurance companies for accident settlements. I don’t think he would know any this.
If you look at the bodycam videos of the cops arriving at the scene, within less than 2 minutes of the cop arriving and assisting Alex, he is already providing detailed information on his suspicions because his son Paul was being threatener because of the boat crash and blablabla. Its insane to think that his mind, within so little time between everything that was happening, would go straight to that information specially since he had little to none information about the murders. It could be a robber all we know, but he preferred to gave the cop a very manipulated information to guide the case to whatever path he wanted it to go. Sick bastard
Yeah, his first words were, "this is/it's a long story" (referring to the boat wreck, threats, etc). I'd be catatonic, unable to gather a single coherent thought.
Very sick. But he laid this life style down for a wife and family. He lived bigger then he could provide for. People pleasers can’t say no. He knew he couldn’t face his wife that he was broke and fired! With his sons case in the boating issue, he knew when he goes to trial he would take a loss. The son was very irresponsible in his actions. If Alex was facing prison due to his actions to steal, he couldn’t be there to protect his son or wife. He knew it was the end of the road for him and his wealth. Sad that 2 people could still be here, and Alex in prison. But being a selfish human. He would rather throw these people a bone in hopes they believe in him enough to see past what was done. Sad and sick! His son should have been held accountable! And was, but Alex couldn’t protect him from his wrong doing!
The body cams don’t even show a time stamp, or the responding dept name strange look at all the others and explain that and first it was two min then I counted 14 min , something was strsnge about this especially when our so called geriatric President was talking about his favorite ice cream, wtf
Love the amount of times they point out that the data that was missing from Alex's phone was data that could be manipulated/deleted by the user, but the data that couldn't be manipulated corroborates the activity on all the other phones. You don't even need to outright accuse him of clearly deleting his own logs, the implication is all they need to get that point across, the only phone he had access to is the only one that doesn't corroborate what every other data obtained does.
This guy blew it all up. Bravo. Someone in Flint was watching this case and realized it was important to come up with the goods, the public be damned that they know everything your car is doing. GM didn't want to admit that to the public. But everyone is watching in some way. How do we think OnStar works works? GM proved his guilt. But I'm happy they could find my Yukon if it went into a gulley and no-one could find me. Because I am not a criminal. I love that my car's data could possibly save me. I'm not worried about constitutional rights, I'm worried about my family's safety. Plus, OnStar is a voluntary paid program. You don't have to subscribe. I love that he got nailed by his car. Mr. super lawyer never thought of that.
You don't have to have On Star or any other thing like it or even a cell phone....every modern car has the equivalent of a "black box" that records all the cars movements and stops and starts and your car can't run without it
Wow with the amount of experts and all of the testimony that we have seen and all of the technology that has been used to catch a murderer, this should now be used as a case study for young up and coming law enforcement, lawyers and coroners because this has everything. including the lady that testified about the victims injuries at time of death. And it should be shown to teenagers to Just don't do crime because you will get caught. This is amazing all of the tools used and at the same time so tragic and heartbreaking to watch, knowing what we know now about the situation.
Normal people don’t kill, especially not their loved ones. I never felt the need to tell my daughters not to kill. It was understood. BTW, the most murders of family members are committed by middle age to older Adults
That's why it's especially stupid to try to get away with murder nowadays. Odds are extremely high that you WILL get caught and you WILL get convicted. With how many cameras are everywhere nowadays, gps so precise it can pinpoint damn near every move you make, all the other data your devices and vehicles record, DNA profiles extracted and amplified from the tiniest samples, and all the other technological and forensic tools an entire TEAM of investigators have at their disposal... The probability of getting away with murder shrinks every day.
@@martinalewis2844 you're so right Martina, the biggest problem is when the son described how many wapons there were at that house. I thought my goodness sounds like the deposit of an army. And then teaching children to kill animals from a very young age, that is beyond my comprehension!
OMG 😱😱 so Maggie's phone was traveling at 44mph when it was thrown on the side of the road. At the same time Alex was driving 44 mph at the same time & place as Maggies phone!! How can Buster ignore these crucial fact?? And why did Alex call Buster right after the murders & Alex why did Alex delete the call to Buster in his call history? This is all very Sus!!! Its obvious Alex did it!! Question is did Buster know it was going to happen??
He had no idea Paul had taken that video in the kennel!! The other video was ok because that showed his son and him together. Only thing he forgot though is that law enforcement would ask where his clothes are that he wore that day.
Awesome show tonight! I have also been following the Alex Murdaugh case! Watched ever hour for the 20 days! I completely agree with everything you was Dr. John!
What is telling in this case is the law enforcement response to the scene of a double homicide. Based on body cam he tells them he went to retrieve a gun. They verbally confirm its not on him now. They do not take him away from scene nor do we ever hear he was tested for gun powder residue. They did not lock scene down. Housekeeper came and tidied house? Family congregated in the gun room? All weapons not seized during early stage of investigation? Was the police department ever reviewed independently? The very definition of Good Ole Boys Club.
Why doesn’t he just confess?! What a pathetic human.
He probably completely disassociates with the other internal Alec-the one who did it- He likely sees that Alec as almost a separate person-The wild Alec that he can’t show to anyone.
Im starting to think he hired someone e to do it. I don't think k he has sense to do much of anything. He's evil 😈
@@allycat180 Sadly, evil is very cunning and intelligent.

No evidence shows he was right there when it happened.
The defense failed in trying to discredit his testimony. The agent was awesome as he stood his ground.
Yes, he was. He had plenty of preface to his testimony. He had known that this was going to be the defense's weak attempt to discredit him. I really detest Pooter.
@@frelnc
He is a mean person with apparent anger issues. The geezer needs to go!
The prosecution put together a fantastic group of people to testify
he doest' need to stand his ground-- he is not supposed to take sides just present facts. he gave away his position - he thinks Alex is guilty he's not supposed to do that. he wouldn't answer yes or no
@@frelnc I know Pooter in real life and Pooter despises criminals way more than most people. Pooter would much rather be prosecuting but my guess is Pooter is being paid more in this one case than the prosecutor gets paid in his lifetime. Pooter would not be working this case for less than $3 million. Pooter is a good guy when he is not getting a drug dealer or a murderer out of hard time, and Pooter does not just win most of his cases-Pooter wins most all of his cases.
Agent Rudofski was a great witness, the defense tried to intimidate him, but, they failed, he stood his ground.

For everyone saying he’s an attorney and he didn’t think it through, no he did it’s he thought it through for someone with power. He was always able to manipulate the police or any crimes. So he didn’t even think he’d end up on trial. He thought just clearing his phone will be enough to show police and they leave him alone. He stole money from the firm so he probably thought he will just pay them off. For generations his family was bigger than the law. He probably was banking on both his insurance polices and Paul’s trust.

Finally got around to watching these full length videos. A lot of people including me hadn’t gotten the full picture of the timeline that this represents. He literally left no room for another person to have come in and killed them. The prosecution did a great job here laying out the onstar data paired with the phone movements of Alex and his family.
Alex also didn't know Paul was uploading the video with him by the tree in real time. What he also didn't know was that once you dial 911 it starts recording even before the operator answers.So everything was heard before he put on his show bawling.
Dude, anyone who plots a murder like this, this day and age, will never get away with it. I had no clue how ALL of this info was so easily tracked. I wasn’t aware that our cars record our every move! Let alone our phones. I almost wanna say that apparently AM didn’t know that either but he’s not naive like me because he’s a trial lawyer. He’s ARROGANT. He even deleted phone calls- knowing full well they can still be found. I think he just lightly cleaned up after himself and then expected that the cops would look elsewhere. He was wrong.
Exactly!!
Rr==
oh alex knew how to murder his wife n son for over 6 months
20 minutes at Mother’s - so her caregiver was 100% correct & he was VERY WRONG BY DOUBLE! He is toast.
And the defense even tried to discredit her. Lol. What a trainwreck.
@@testboga5991 the defense attorney, "Poot", is condescending to female witnesses too - the way he treated the coroner was horrible. The jury won't forget that, either.
She must of looked at the clock!!!! Good for her!!!!! Bad for him!!!! Horrible!!!!!
AM left Moselle a little after 9pm and got back a little after 10pm.
Twenty minutes each way and twenty minutes there.
GM is OnStar?
He was wrong to ask her to lie for him, She testified to what he had told her to say which she knew was not true,
If Alex didn't kill Paul and Maggie then WHY didn't insist on Law Enforcement to find the killer/killers, WHY didn't he have a press conference with the media pleading with the public to call the police if they have anything that could help find the killer, WHY did he only offer an award for information for a limited time period (one month), WHY didn't he set up a Command Post to help Police to coordinate the search for the killer/killers, WHY did Alex continue to go around like normal with NO extra Security at his properties to protect the remaining family... I mean there is a killer out there going after the Murdaughs ???????
Very Simple: Because Alex murdered Paul and Maggie either by himself or with some help.
Alex KNOWS there is no murderer out there and behaves in that manner
Maggie’s sister knows it too. It has to be dawning on the whole family HE DID IT.
There was another person involved. There is no way one person pulled this off.
@@tracycorley697 Buster was hiding in the weeds and helped pops out.

You can contrast his actions with those of Mark Klass, whose daughter, Polly, was kidnapped and murdered. He was a suspect but did everything he could to help LEO find the killer.
Been watching this trial from the start. For some reason this testimony really got to me and made me physically ill. We all actually saw a murder in real time stamps. So tragic. There is no punishment severe enough for AM.
It’s disturbing to basically track them coming to be murdered. But this is Alec’s final nail in his coffin…He deserves life in prison.
I thought the prosecution finished their case.
Agree
@@beastshawnee yes. And not the death penalty. That would be an easy out
Exactly...like Chris Watts watching the video his neighbor caught of him loading his truck with his dead wife and two kids!

This investigator was very professional and did a phenomenal job of laying out a clear and understanding timeline.. kudos to this man

A fine leo.
Why is he constantly using future tense/ "gonna be" for his descriptions?
I want him to break down the actions of the j6 insurrection,and disect 187 minutes of trumps non action that day
AM looks scared when the Onstar data is introduced & being revealed, think he knows he’s busted. Guess he didn’t think of that. Tick Tock.
😂😂😂
Since he didn't have it on maybe he didn't realize the truck could still be tracked. Who knew??
I also like the phrase...."tic, tic, BOOM" Times up Alex!
Within 20 seconds of the suburban arriving at the kennels (coming from the house), Alex is able to determine that his wife and son are dead and calls 911. He immediately tells the 911 operator that his “wife and child have been shot”. How does Alex know the murders were from a gun? It’s dark at the kennels and their wounds would be hard to see at night. The killings could be by a knife or blunt object? I believe Alex said he checked Paul and Maggie’s pulses. It takes about about 10 seconds to check someone’s pulse properly and there are two dead bodies. The gun wounds are mostly in front of both bodies and the bodies are laying face down. Alex said he tried to move and turn Paul’s body but couldn’t. So why does he automatically assume they were “shot”? He cannot see the wounds in the dark and the entry holes would be covered up and the exist wounds would still be hard to see in the dark. He tells the 911 operator they were “shot” but only the murderer would “slip up” and say that because Alex is the murderer. How does Alex know it wasn’t a knife or blunt object that killed Paul and Maggie, Alex makes that key point of evidence that they were both “shot” within 20 seconds upon arriving at the bodies! Alex is the murderer and he should be asked by the prosecution to just confess and do everyone and himself a favor.
I agree. There's no way he had time to do everything he claimed he did. He knew they were dead because he's the perpetrator.
exCEPT the top of Paul’s head was kinda missing and his entire brain was in the ground…They were all hunters. He would know. But yeah-he did it-guilty.
Great analysis!
There is a video of the interview in beginning where when the officer said something and Alex had a sly grin after the officer looked away to notes. He's done wrong so long he has evolved to evil.
First of all how do you know what the lighting situation was? There wee lights in the kennel and headlights.
Second, if you know about guns and shooting, and Alex was a hunter, you'd know if someone was shot. It's pretty obvious.
I didn't think they were going to get a conviction until this evidence showed up. Now I'll be shocked if he doesn't go to prison. Could there be a more disgusting human being?
The only thing that concerns me is the defense still hasn't presented their case. Makes me nervous. There's so much overwhelming evidence after this testimony. I'm not sure how the jury could come back with anything other than not guilty.
@@whosthtgirl Why are you "nervous"? You want a conviction regardless of what the Defense has to say. You're one of those people I hope never gets to sit on a jury.
@@msdarby515 - I agree. Too many mob-mentality gangs ready to crucify without letting the trial ride out. Innocent until proven guilty. Period

How could he have pulled in & Checked their pulses in 5-6 seconds & then called 911?
Good job testifying by this cop, he’s intelligent, knowledgeable, clear, and concise. This investigative info sure is condemning.
I could not agree with you more.
This time-line testimony did it for me. Modern technology is just amazing. Very hard to watch but it tells the story that Ms. Maggie and young Paul can not tell. And Paul's phone recording Alex at the scene , gave us a clear picture of what happened. Sort of made me sick. I can't imagine.😢
When aluc gave his testimony his fake tears did it for me when he said he turned his pawpaw over because of his brain was showing you know I pray like the judge said at sentencing, Maggie and Paul haunts his sleeping

Dang his dad's dying of cancer and still going to have him sign for a loan? Evil man!
Of course evil doesn't care and this evidence destroys AM
GPS doesn't lie
That’s why he went alone to the hospital to see daddy! Remember he lured Maggie to Moselle under the guise of asking her to accompany her to the hospital.
Maggie actually told her sister that she really didn’t want to go to Moselle but her sister encouraged her to go support Alex. The sister was devastated by it on the witness stand. Maggie was her only sibling. Maggie also texted Blanca the housekeeper telling her that AM asked her to come over to Moselle and she didn’t want to go. That old female intuition kicking in. In the end both Maggie and Paul testified from the grave to bury him in court

@@trigremlin who me? Yes I am actually. I deal with the mentally unstable patients
AM is going down. The evidence is massive that he did this. RIP, Maggie and Paul.
It's hard to believe that Alex didn't take into account that cell phones reveal everything if permissions to apps are allowed.
Per testimony he has bullshitted his way through life and career...science/forensics is a great weapon against bullshit. He thought he was gonna bullshit himself out of being committed for the murders.
I think he knew. That’s why location data was turned off on his. And possibly why Maggie’s apps were closed (as she had location services when using enabled) such as Facebook etc.
What theses guys could tell you about cell towers and SMART PHONES …just goes to show..your phone plays a major part in everyone’s life.

This was so eerie to watch live. The entire courtroom was silent
Cmon bubba !!!
Make it seem like we were there. 😢
I saw him tell police he took his son's pulse. And then tell police his son didn't have a brain. Why would you take the pulse of someone who doesn't have a brain.
Because he also didn’t have a Brain.
It’s a fair question
Just to be the devil's advocate here . ...if you truly came upon your loved ones and found that they were shot and even if you knew immediately by looking at them they were dead it would be next to impossible to accept. Denial runs strong. Especially when the system goes into shock. I remember one time I was sitting in a hospital with my baby and this poor lady ran into the hospital she was panicked .. I could hear her asking about her teenage son who had been in a car accident... They took her behind closed doors with the authorities and doctors .... then I heard this blood curdling scream and her yelling "are you sure??? It can't be are you sure it's him?!!!! Are you sure it's him? !!! How do you know??? (Honestly it was so awful and all I could do was hold my little boy and just cry for her, I mean I was traumatized just sitting there not even knowing this lady ...I think that happens a lot when loved ones get hit with news like this. It was the most awful experience
When one of my family's beloved pups got hit by a car and died my parents they buried him and then were so grief stricken they dug him back up to make sure because they just didn't want to believe he was dead. The devil's in the details sometimes
I think he’s guilty BUT if he didn’t do it I could still see him check pulses. A parent tends to go through denial of death. Can’t accept it.
@@courtneyr214 No matter how it turns out. He's going to prison for a long time for all the money he stole. But it's really sad because that's what drugs will do too a person. Kick God out and the devil will come in. And that goes for everyone. Have a blessed night.

Oh so they had a pattern of this with the other witnesses
So are they saying that Maggie's phone was with Alex in his car as he left his home to go to his mother's. If so, that is devasting as he would have had to go to the kennel to get it .
Is that how some of the blood got on that steering wheel quit a guy he tried thinking of everything didn't he
We know he was at the kennels because of the recording Paul did showing the dogs tail. Both Alex and Maggie was there. He litterally killed them and then left for his Mamas. What an idiot taking her cell phone with him.
They were already dead when he went to his mother’s house. He had that blue raincoat with GSR particles all over it. He went to his mother to hide the raincoat, it’s believed that he was holding the murder weapons wrapped in coat.
He went to his mom to create alibi, he tried to get Shelly, his mother’s caregiver to lie about the time he was there for.
I think if the detectives followed the route he drove that night, they would find the guns
well, he rinsed off at the kennels, so he put Paul’s phone on his bottom, took Maggie’s with him. He went to the house and showered, leaving the damp towel in the closet with the t-shirt that fell down that Blanca testified to. Then he went off toward Moms house with her phone, tossed it out as he slowed down, drove in the tree line behind Moms house to dispose of the guns, drove home fast, called 911, then called Rogan, but never called his other son to make sure he was ok, because he knew he just killed Maggie and Paul. Buster wasn’t in any danger.

Paul’s phone was last locked at 8:49:01 Maggie’s phone locks for the last time at 8:49:31 both lock 30 seconds apart. The activity on Maggie’s phone from 8:53:15-8:53:32 there were 59 steps and various orientation changes approximately 4 mins after both phones locked. I think the 59 steps and all the orientation changes was Maggie trying to get away after she witnessed Paul being murdered!

@@tarlabear77 agree.... Alec's relative John, said on the stand, that when he was at the scene (with the police there) he used Buster's iphone's app to 'ping locate' Maggie's phone.

I found that very odd as the phone on the maps wasn't there but the house itself was full of lawyer friends, washing up dinner pots, putting leftovers food in the fridge.
But maps show her phone was found by investigators off the side of the road, travelling _away from both the property (and AM's parents' house direction)_ - the *next day* at 1310hrs

I know this pretty common sense here but here goes-
He drives to his mother's house- Note- he asked Maggie to please come see her "father-in-law" that night but please come have dinner with Paul & him @ the house 1st, she agrees. He has been admitted to "the hospital."
Notice, Alex does not call & ask Maggie before he leaves- where are you, or hey I am picking you up @ the kennels, nothing until he leaves the property & after her phone has been thrown out. When he calls he doesn't again ask her where are you, we were supposed to go see Dad. Just a brb I'm gonna go check on mom. Uh, momma isn't the one dying.
Notice, when he leaves he doesn't head for the hospital, but his mother's home. Why, well I think we all know.
When he gets to his mother's property does he ask the caregiver, hey, has Maggie came by or called? Nope. Could he have headed over to the hospital to see his Dad? Nope. Does he call Paul's phone to ask, hey, where is your mother, I can't find her. Nope. This would be common sense that normal people would have done.
Plus, a little weird they didn't live together. What?
Alex, in my opinion is what's called- Death by a Thousand Cuts. Means, it's not 1,2,3,4,5 things- it's a lot more circumstantial evidence than that. All of these put together- mean this cannot be an accident, this was intentional.
All of these tiny pieces put together- can take you out.
That makes perfect sense. Unfortunately that doesn't work in a courtroom. If you're innocent you don't need to lie. That's enough evidence for me. Good thing I'm not on the jury.
@@joannephillips4110 Circumstantial case but each brick builds a wall of guilt. Alibi is gone, he was at the kennels right before the killings. Over whelming evidence now with all the phone/car GPS evidence. There is no one else that could commit this crime. Guilty.
Maggie and Paul were onto him. She was googling about pills she had found and Paul had voice mailed him and told him mom knew. Was she going to leave him? She should have never went to the house that night (the sister told her she should) but probably never suspected she'd be shot and Paul would be there to protect her.
He went his moms to take the gun. Wrapped up in the blue jacket. Like the caretaker expressed. 1
@@carolberry9461 Yes I think there was only 1 gun used but it had 2 different kinds of gun cartridges loaded in it.
This defense lawyer is behaving as if the people giving evidence are the guilty ones. Trying so hard to be intimidating, yet unsuccessful. Hats off to all these professionals, plenty respect!
Yup when defense lawyers do this the evidence is so overwhelming against the accused it’s all they can do
That doesn’t make sense. No lawyer would think for one moment that a prosecutor would change just because of a look he could give him.
You’ve got to remember that it is par for the course for prosecutors to manipulate truth for a guilty verdict even Knowing the person is innocent. Don’t you remember? Kamala showed us this is the way and look where she ended up.
Well yeah that's kind of their job. To cast doubt of the witness testimony and the evidence.
@@mcaddicts their job is to get the proper person, that being the one who actually committed said crime.
@@adelaidemarie That's not the job of a defense attorney.
His car totally dobbed him in-even showing when he slowed down to throw phone out window
I thought it showed he DIDN'T slow down?!?! He was turning on to the main road and hadn't got to speed yet (but was increasing his speed) and he was going 40 mph where the phone was found ...but, he did speed up to 70 mph right after that location where the phone was. Just a fine point that he DIDN'T actually slow down, he just wasn't going 70 yet.
Everybody in the courtroom seems to understand the gravity of all this. Their expressions are full of grief.
I feel badly for his relatives who must certainly doubt Alex now.
The defense has not made their case yet. All they have to do is find one person who thinks the prosecution case is full of holes. It is a small backwards town. Odds are that AM walks on this.
Knowing you've been duped and lied to is traumatic. Horrible in the way it makes you doubt yourself.
@@thomasallen6980 totally agree
@@thomasallen6980 I sure hope not. The jury can't take notes, so that timeline isn't going to be as fresh from them as it should. I guess once in deliberations they can put it all down on paper. Has some similarities to the OJ trial. " He couldn't do that." No race aspect but $$$ and power. Putting SLED on trial.
The Murdaugh family is entitled, greedy, arrogant and bad people so believe me they don't and won't buy it. They will simply makes excuses.They are all suffering from severe sociopath and borderline personality disorder.
Good for GM to deliver that information, that really nails the case. And I am very impressed by the perfectionism of that young man. He interprets that scientific data in a very plain and easy to understand way.
They didn’t. The FBI had to reverse engineer the computer system to get the data as GM sent the vehicle out with an encrypted system. It took time and a lot of very clever folk to get that data out of the system. I’m glad they did what was needed to crack the system to prove what was already known….AM slaughtered MM and PM and thought he was smarter than everyone else. I just hope the jury don’t mess this up.
@@Highland_Moo This agent was working on 3 Excel files sent by GM just days before, the other expert was extracting data from the car. That testimony is a combination of all that data.
You bet your arse they had excellent satellite connections thanks to Elon Musk.
What did it nail? Alex and Maggie's phones weren't moving together. Did you completely miss that?
@@msdarby515 I didn't hear anything about Maggie's phone GPS data
Remember the love of money IS the root of all evil….this man succumbed to his greed
Really true but it also seems like someone was bleeding him dry with blackmail…cuz drugs don’t cost 50-60,000 a week which are amounts he was giving this guy. But this guy is a front for something else most likely. Also this guy wouldn’t have shot him in the head and stopped his own payments. I think Alec and him know all the answers but are sticking to drugs as a cover still…Maybe he knew Epstein…was on the island… 🤷🏻♀️
This is beyond money. He’s a total psychopath.
The Holy Bible is very true! It benefits all who believe and obey it!! Repent and believe the Gospel!!!
@@MeMe-du6sn Jesus didn't use exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would have been interesting to have Buster and his uncles’ data included. They all had a motive to protect their legacy, solve an individual problem, or both.
To protect business you mean. It looks like this family has been smart in the wrong way. Using established reputation and knowledge of the system to their advantage.
always a conspiracist if we wait long enough.
spoken like a true armshair lawyer who would never accept an obvious truth. a son is not going to kill his mother and brother fo gods sake
@@pse888 not saying anyone else had anything to do with it but to say that a brother would NEVER kill his mother and brother over money is far from true. Like I stated I don't have a clue if anyone else was involved but there are people out there that do.
@@pse888
Though a husband and a Dad can???
Your comment makes no sense...now that we know the verdict.
Well.. even if the defense came up with some convoluted explanation for everything else, this is quite a nail in the coffin for AM!
What a powerful testimony! In the end, it took Paul’s video proving Alex was in fact at the kennel before they were both gunned down by their own father/husband. That video for me was the nail in the coffin of a guilty verdict for this evil act. Finally, some justice have been served for the murders Maggie and Paul. May they both rest in peace.
He was shocked to the core when the persecutor told him that Paul had uploaded the video in real time. He tried to say it was made at some other time. He had no answer to that evidence. One could see his mind thinking in the end Paul provided and hand delivered the evidence.
Agreed. Around 2:06:29 he realized his entire life and his families history was tarnished.
He claimed he is innocent still at sentencing
Agree 100% that video was a gift from heaven for the prosecution. It would have meant nothing if Bubba hadn't gotten the chicken.
Let’s not forget Maggie herself very well could have murdered the housekeeper and Paul did indeed cause Mallory’s death in the boat I’m not saying they deserved to die but they weren’t innocent angels either
This is the nail in his jail cell. The way the prosecutor laid it all out was like a Broadway symphony. It was like you can easily envision every move made as if you were the fly on the wall. My heart goes out to the family. This is one sick individual.
HE WAS EVIL SPAWN AND HE SPAWNED AN EVIL ONE HIMSELF.....AT LEAST HE KILLED THE KILLER OF MALLORY....ALEX IS DONE.....ALL THATS LEFT IS THE TRUTH FOR THE FAMILY.
Since when are there nails in jail cells
That right there is his death sentence.
No jail------ only death penalty........the LORD HMSELF HAS SOO COMMANDED.
There is no nails in a jail cell you weirdo.
This is the testimony that done it for me, very understandable and shows exactly what Alex did step by step, so heartbreaking. What an evil evil person.
Yes other than the video this sealed it, there was no need to go one. Sick man. Breaks my heart to think what Paul and Maggie went through the last moments of there lives. To see the man they loved kill them...
This what the ancient Greeks called a perfect tragedy. Alex is brought down increment at a time throughout his whole life, by his ability to make people like him and trust him as he dug a hole deeper and deeper bringing down those closest to him. Corruption leads to tragedy, always.
“Like him” .. or afraid of him and his power.. could be either or, or both depending on who it was. There will be a movie on this, so much corruption and death surrounding him and his family even before him. He is still manipulating his family members from jail.. there are tons of jail calls out there you can listen to. They may have finally put a stop to publishing them, I’m not sure if they can or if people stopped requesting and sharing them but he was not happy when he heard we were able to hear every word including how he was begging his sister to put money on other inmates books (illegal) for “ibuprofen”.. and how he’s offering money to buster, even just for spending money and telling him that he’ll never have to worry about money and he’ll take care of him and pay family members back as soon as he gets out. (Where’s the money? Most likely hidden somewhere or held by someone else). Anyways.. it’s crazy and I’m glad he seems to be finally going down. This timeline was perfect.
Yes, lie upon lie. A lifestyle that will eventually implide. He lied about everything - very hard to believe his marriage was healthy, as he describes it.
Eventually anyways
1:48:39. Why didn’t the prosecutor make a more explicit link between MM’s phone speed, time and location relative to AM’s vehicle speed, time and location. “At approximately 9:08:30 was the defendant’s vehicle and MM’s phone going approximately the same speed in the same location.” Am I wrong.
You are correct. He did say that. I was also surprised that he did not hammer that point home or forcefully but I think he plans to raise it again in his summation. That may well be his most important piece of evidence.
@@pointermom7641 Just another brick in the wall. Snapchat video is the crucial evidence.
This is just stunning how much data their phones provided. I had no idea they could tell when my phone is unlocked or if it's angled vertical or horizontal. The only way for us to get anymore details is if everything were actually video recorded. They were able to prove that Alex called Maggie's phone to locate it, and then they could tell he moved it! All within minutes of her death. I haven't watched a lot of the trial but this is all I'd need to convict him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if We are being recorded. Pretty sure we’re Being recorded via microphone
I missed the testimony that AM moved Maggie's phone
OMG we just watched a murder take place in real time. Excellent work by all officers !!
Exactly. Paul was a phone freak, and when his quit talking, you knew...and Alex was the only person there. Its over...
Our cell phones are data acquisition and tracking devices...
the cell phone data was being used to track people during the covid lockdowns

Any Apple product is spy ware from China. Same for the Tik Tok app.
Another observation which is odd. If you found your wife and son dead outside in your yard and it is pitch black at night with the nearest neighbor miles away, would you stay on your phone and call 911 at the scene of the crime. The murderer(s) may still be on the property, I would be afraid of getting shot like my wife and child got shot. I would immediately go back to the house or my car and retrieve a gun for self defense. I may even drive away from the property and call 911 in my car just to get away from the killers in case they are still lurking around on my property. Also, why does Alex tell the 911 operator to please come in a hurry. At the scene he says they were both shot in the head. 911 can’t bring dead bodies back to life. Also, how does he know that the wounds to the head were from a gun? He doesn’t mention any shell casings around the bodies probably because it is too dark. The head wounds could be from blunt force trauma to the head. Most people would just claim that my wife and child appear dead with wounds to the head. But he says they were shot! How does he know it was a gun! Because Alex was the shooter. Got it!
That was my immediate first thought. I would have jumped in the car and either driven up to the house or directly to the police station in case the murderers were still there.
After the 911 call, he does go back to the house to grab a gun. Which seems reasonable. But he doesn't appear to be scared at all.
I would not leave my child's side...
Its sick how they treated the housekeeper. $10.00 per hr. AFTER 20 years? A woman living in a run down trailor & raising two children! AM family takes private jets & has two homes, could not buy that lady a new trailor or help out? The GREED is out of control. AM could have taken a million & given the rest to the family & it would have been overlooked. I hope this entire family LEAVES the state to clear out over 100 years of STINK!
idk but half the county looks inbred with Alec’s grandfather being the dad. I have never seen more red headed and strawberry blonde potato lookin people in my life! Every 3rd witness looked like siblings. And I have a line in my own family with red hair like that!
Alex M took an insurance policy out on the Housekeeper for millions. He got paid 4 million after her death. He lied and said he was suing for her children. I don't think the cops know who killed her or pushed her down the steps.
@Somee Nicks. During the trial, it was said that Maggie regularly left food in the pots on the stove. It would’ve been very easy for her to have put those pots in the refrigerator for Gloria to take home as leftovers the next day. But Maggie left them for Gloria to throw out and clean up the pots.
@@libbyworkman3459 Maybe Maggie pushed the housekeeper down the steps & Buster killed Mr.Smith! Who knows?
@@Somee989 it does make you wonder since Alex took out the policy just a month or so before the accident happened. But Paul was said to have been very fond of her because she acted more like a mother to him than his own mother did. it has been reported that Maggie suffered postpartum depression with Paul and was never able to warm up to him.
I’m rewatching in 2024 and remember being breathless at this testimony. They pinpointed the minute they died and every single movement he made after that. They really only needed this testimony to convict.

just after 2 shotgun blasts and 5 assault rifle bursts alex leaves the property
1. he didn't hear those gunshots
2. he heard the gunshots but wasn't concerned
3. he shot those guns and hurriedly left the scene, to cover his tracks
👇 you chose number 3
3 I am certain he's guilty
These guys have worked hard and cell phones don't lie. But Alex obviously does. Very sad he's destroyed his family for such evil. Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. 😥
John 10:10
The timeline of Maggie's phone being moved then locked and the movement of Alex along the route where Maggie's phone was found the next day is damning to me. I don't think the prosecution really hammered that home as much as they could have.
I totally agree with that point. I assume the prosecutor will hammer that home in his summation
@@pointermom7641 Let's hope so.
The prosecution got all the data out but it did not really have an overall story line that underlined the movements in a way that was clear and decisive. I think that applies to the entire trial. It was very disjointed and failed to hammer home some important points imo.
@@bradleyhalfacre7992 Normally, the prosecution will tie all the evidence together in summation. That’s what summation is for.
@@pointermom7641 - exactly
The agent really knew his stuff! Impressed with his professionalism and on top of questions with precise answers. I agree, defense lawyers really did not seem to prove anything but that they can be a hotheaded jerk.
This evidence is the death knell for the defense, yes?
If the jury doesn't convict, the jury ought to be investigated.
It’s scary to think that some people, maybe many, needed this testimony to mail him. The evidence is overwhelming.
The bar seems to be unrealistically high for some people, as if they want to see a video of the perpetrator committing the crime or something. Bizarre.
game set and match
@@janegardener1662 that’s what I keep saying!
You can see it on the defense. The grumpy guy flew a paper over at Alex, it looked like a f-you gesture.
@@tourdedogue4952 what was the time stamp when he did that? I’ve GOT to see that! LOL
Now, after the conviction, it’s a minor point, but something Waters could have used to show why AM was in such a rush to get to and from Mama’s house: There’s only one stop light between Moselle and his mother’s house. Not wanting to get stuck at a light or pulled over for running it, he navigated around it, as shown on the “dot map”. Check it out. Also, Waters should have asked AM why he didn’t go see Mom on his way home from work, where the drive is maybe 5 minutes away, instead of late at night.
Good observations!
After listening to all the testimony personally, I feel this was a premeditated event.
But WHY??
@@ritaeichler2066 Because he is a liar and a thief. And now graduated to murderer. Motive, opportunity and means.
Duh!
Based on Marion Procter's testimony, I agree.
@@ritaeichler2066 well, one reason is Maggie was not supposed to be home that night why would Alec call her to come home if he hadn’t planned to do something
Wow! Cel phone data pretty much convicted him already, and all the lies of course, but this has sealed it! No jury on earth could find him not guilty. Good job SC investigators 👍🇨🇦
This testimony sealed Alex's fate. 8:45 video of the scene with Maggie, Paul, and Alex 8:50 Paul and Maggie Died 9:06 Alex takes off This proves Alex was there. And who is the world googles a restaurant within the hour that your family is killed? I was also shocked in the interviews that Alex never said, "I should have had security. I should have had cameras. I never should have left them. I should have put a gate on the property. It was my fault!" He never takes any accountability at all. It was his job to protect his family, and he couldn't even take responsibility for that.
Well , maybe he was hungry
Right! He didn’t take any fatherly/husband “responsibility”!!!
Amazing point!! Yes that would have been a natural reaction!
Look at the bodycam videos of copa arriving at the scene. Its disgusting, he is acting shocked and panicked but within less than two minutes he already is giving the cops detailed information about how his son Paul was being threatened because of the boat crash and blablabla. Totally insane that someone would immediately blurts out that so soon, so precise…
You completely nailed it!!! Yes! No sense of.horror or guilt for leaving. Very little crying. He was way too calm in the car interviews
Could he, Alex have taken the opportunity of his fathers death and funeral to hide the missing guns and clothes in his father’s coffin.
That one place that no-one would think to search.
Someone needs to teach data visualization, why not change the color of the dots when referencing each drive. Also could help benefit to have som arrows showing where the next dot is located.
Not easy as they only had this data for a week and had to aline it all together for the court. Maybe if they had this data when they first requested it then they could’ve done a better job with the presentation but as it stands I thought they did a good job and I’m guessing they deserve a good nights sleep now it’s done.
@@jenniferbailey5914 yeah that's fair. I'm assuming they get data like this often and could set up some systems to display it better, but I do understand about only having it for a week.
probably cant change the color of the dots....
@Bryan Kasper. I think it would be helpful if the little dots themselves were tiny arrows showing directionality.
Let’s not forget neither of them would have even been home had Alex not beckoned them there!! He’s guilty but SLED didn’t do their job that night and should have searched the house immediately and thoroughly
This is a welcome member of law enforcement. He did a great job in preparing the information that was available and a great job in presenting it. This information used in contrast with the testimony of Murdaugh, makes a strong case for conviction. The defense had nothing authentic to offer. Unfortunately, Murdaugh has already been given leniency by the state of South Carolina by not pursuing the death penalty. If there was ever a case for the death penalty, premeditated murder of your wife and son execution style, is certainly that case. A lying caricature of South Carolina politics.
i did not realize they wasnt asking for death penalty....hes already toast on the money stuff...hes going to prison. ...NOW, i agree sheesh i thought all this time hes fighting for his life...what an ass why not spare everyone? NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER
AM doesn't deserve the death penalty. That's getting off too easy, let him rot in prison, I'm sure those around him will see to it his remaining miserable existence is a hellish one, 365, 24-7. He probably will be killed in prison eventually. Prison politics, he killed a woman and a child. Worse kind of rep u can get in prison, along side with the rapists and pedos..
The judge said as much in sentencing.
@@doesthisfacemakemelooklike535 I agree and it also makes me realize how that title is easily used on so many people. When you see a real one you know it.
I think its best for him to live with only men in small cell for the rest of his life. He needs to live like the poor now and try to like it. He deserves it!
1:03:12 That's the expression of a man who knows he's done. Timing that with the break in the testimony and the sound of the passing siren was a nice touch on the part of the cameraman. Also, I studied GIS (Geographic Information System, which creates maps using data sets) as part of my major. It's so cool to see it used in a court case like this.

This is fantastic data! Love this forensic paper trail! AM is beyond disgusting and evil!
I feel sorry for the jury however that car and phone data doesn't lie and AM saying he never saw them was a complete lie.
What a fabulous game of connect the dots💥
He would have been better off saying he heard at least 7 gun shots while in the house, called and texted both to see if everything was ok, no answer, and went to check on them and then found them dead. But, the video with him there (that he knew nothing about), seals his guilt.
Agree
That is more believable, and then to claim a murder/suicide. But the physical evidence doesn't point to murder/suicide. Points to a planned execution of the two. And the only person on the property was .....Alex.
@@Redtopper02 Plus, the only one who just happened to be slowing down at the exact spot they found Maggie’s phone. He’s as cold blooded as you can get. Surely, his brother and son are getting a wake up call listening to this, that he really is as guilty as he can be.
@@holylandfan3275 I have no idea what to think about that family. That local law firm was a parasite on the community. Mostly did ambulance chasing cases, very few % actually went to trial. And they were taking 40% cuts from the plaintiff's settlement. That is a gravy train. The judges and the court system is all in cahoots with these plaintiff lawyers. Big settlements approaching $500k or more.
@@Redtopper02 I agree with every word. It wouldn’t surprise me if he also killed his housekeeper for the money. “The dog tripped her and she hit her head and never recovered.” She was worth millions to him dead. What he did to her two sons is unforgivable, and that only ONE case. Even Paul and Maggie were rude. Blanca was heading out the door after a long day working for them and Paul came in and wanted her to do his laundry right then. DO IT YOURSELF!! And, again, she was getting ready to leave and Maggie wanted her to prepare their dinner before they got home. RIDICULOUS! They are all scum.
He's making all these frantic phone calls because he was trying to establish his alibi that he was "occupied" when the murders happened. ALL this time he maintained that he only arrived at Moselle to find them dead. Paul's Snapchat was so inconvenient. He must be seething that he has to admit to lying that he HAD been there earlier with BOTH of them moments before they were murdered. If his lips are moving, he's lying.
1:47:12 so his iPhone and Maggie’s connected to same car when he was leaving for Almeda? ! Darn! This makes me sad, justice may be delayed but not denied.

Today’s lesson is if you are going to murder someone, leave your phone at home and don’t drive a vehicle that has OnStar…😊
Haha
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
We do km in Australia so I just worked out that 80mph is around 130kph. Even in my country that would be viewed as excessive speed especially at night on an unsealed road. Did he toss Maggie’s phone on the way to his mothers and I also am interested to know why he was parked at the railway at the end of his mothers driveway? His story is full of holes.
Totally agree ref speed; yes ref the phone ditching en route according to phone data (his & hers) & car data too.
And yeah: Tetley teabags have less holes than this guy's story.

I think the prison experience needs to be changed for a meditated murder. No contact with family or friends. No socializing with other prisoners; total isolation. No computer, phone, radio. Basically alive but not living, same as the victims.
England..and Other Countries..
I heard in India they don't provide inmates with food...your friends and family have to bring it to you! That would teach people not to hurt their families!!! I would love to know more about prisons around the world and how they run and fund things!
Brilliant testimony from this man. God works in mysterious ways- talking with friends and cell data are speaking for the victims. There is no question he did it. I hope the jury convicts this monster
Why didn't God stop it? You're right.. He is mysterious! Like so mysterious he might not be real!
@@donaldcantley1059 Free will. The simplest answer.
The faces of AM’s attorney’s at the conclusion of the trial today says it all- they know he’s guilty too.
They’ve known it all along but every accused is entitled to a lawyer so they consider it a public service to provide a defense. I assume they’re getting a pay a lot of money for their services, although I don’t know where the money is coming from.
Alex really wasn't very smart about plotting this, even if he 'thought about it for a long time'...really dumb.
He should’ve known cell phones would track them but who knew your CAR keeps so much info? That’s the final nail.
He was used to getting over on people for decades. The entire family are & were full of GREED.
Murdoch is a lawyer , presumably he knows how phone data and vehicle data is collected and stored. Kohlberger also a student of criminology but yet they both make absolutely basic mistakes regarding the phones. To take and drop Maggies phone on the road while driving his car is just plain stupid. When people become homicidal they obviously lose all the knowledge they have acrewed and take leave of their senses. Then they go to trial and are completely sunk by the records of their own stupidity, unbelievable.
He maybe know some trail about the phone. But OnStar not a clue. He was o n withdrawal when the first police interview happened. Disgusting.
As the State & FBI said, car manufacturers are incredibly proprietary over their data. I imagine he knew that, being a personal injury lawyer, and assumed GM wouldn’t give it to them.
My brother-in-law whom, is a sheriff officer, has always said criminals aren’t smart. If they were they wouldn’t commit crimes in the first place!
Alex was an ambulance chase - a personal injury lawyer. He spent all his time on the phone negotiating with insurance companies for accident settlements. I don’t think he would know any this.
AM perhaps never thought it will go this far and that he would be able to fool everyone
If you look at the bodycam videos of the cops arriving at the scene, within less than 2 minutes of the cop arriving and assisting Alex, he is already providing detailed information on his suspicions because his son Paul was being threatener because of the boat crash and blablabla.
Its insane to think that his mind, within so little time between everything that was happening, would go straight to that information specially since he had little to none information about the murders. It could be a robber all we know, but he preferred to gave the cop a very manipulated information to guide the case to whatever path he wanted it to go.
Sick bastard
Yeah, his first words were, "this is/it's a long story" (referring to the boat wreck, threats, etc). I'd be catatonic, unable to gather a single coherent thought.
Very sick. But he laid this life style down for a wife and family. He lived bigger then he could provide for. People pleasers can’t say no. He knew he couldn’t face his wife that he was broke and fired! With his sons case in the boating issue, he knew when he goes to trial he would take a loss. The son was very irresponsible in his actions. If Alex was facing prison due to his actions to steal, he couldn’t be there to protect his son or wife. He knew it was the end of the road for him and his wealth. Sad that 2 people could still be here, and Alex in prison. But being a selfish human. He would rather throw these people a bone in hopes they believe in him enough to see past what was done. Sad and sick! His son should have been held accountable! And was, but Alex couldn’t protect him from his wrong doing!
One of the dirtiest, sickest bastards ever born!
@@tracicantrell549 he's a professional bone thrower one can see.
The body cams don’t even show a time stamp, or the responding dept name strange look at all the others and explain that and first it was two min then I counted 14 min , something was strsnge about this especially when our so called geriatric President was talking about his favorite ice cream, wtf
Love the amount of times they point out that the data that was missing from Alex's phone was data that could be manipulated/deleted by the user, but the data that couldn't be manipulated corroborates the activity on all the other phones. You don't even need to outright accuse him of clearly deleting his own logs, the implication is all they need to get that point across, the only phone he had access to is the only one that doesn't corroborate what every other data obtained does.
He said at sentencing he didn’t do it.
@@Solitude47152 oh damn, guess he didnt do it then
@@CaBobProductions You weren’t their
@@Solitude47152 no I actually was, I sent in a drone and watched the whole thing
@@CaBobProductions He was Railroaded
So this proves he was at the kennels. What a disgusting man.
Paul's cell already did,but this is a bonus
How this proves besides the kennel video? I know he is guilty I’m just asking if I missed something important
@@Jenni-Martikainen His Lawyers made a statement saying he admits he was there.
@@karenkershaw6324 wow crazy!
Prosecution did a great job with pathologist, PhD criminologist and this detailed trace report.
Every time Alex gets in his car, Maggie’s backlight goes on within seconds. Then her phone was dumped right along his route. Damn.
Paul’s phone died after it completed its task.
Super sad 😢
This guy blew it all up. Bravo. Someone in Flint was watching this case and realized it was important to come up with the goods, the public be damned that they know everything your car is doing. GM didn't want to admit that to the public. But everyone is watching in some way. How do we think OnStar works works? GM proved his guilt. But I'm happy they could find my Yukon if it went into a gulley and no-one could find me. Because I am not a criminal. I love that my car's data could possibly save me. I'm not worried about constitutional rights, I'm worried about my family's safety. Plus, OnStar is a voluntary paid program. You don't have to subscribe. I love that he got nailed by his car. Mr. super lawyer never thought of that.
Yep. If a cell phone or computer or modern car owned you are Recorded.
Yep
You don't have to have On Star or any other thing like it or even a cell phone....every modern car has the equivalent of a "black box" that records all the cars movements and stops and starts and your car can't run without it
The AM show is over.
2 weeks fake sniveling for himself. Now shifts posing interest and understanding of data presented.
1000%!!!
He tried to cover his tracks by driving on the grass instead of the dirt road when he was going to the kennels.
Yeah, he didnt want the tire tracks left...what a dummy
Seems as if Alex really tried to set up CB Rowe by forcing him to take care of the “sunflower” problem.
Alex killed the sunflowers, to get Paul home😢
If you're sitting a courtroom, for God's sakes, if you have a cough, either leave or take a cough suppressant. So annoying.
Wow with the amount of experts and all of the testimony that we have seen and all of the technology that has been used to catch a murderer, this should now be used as a case study for young up and coming law enforcement, lawyers and coroners because this has everything. including the lady that testified about the victims injuries at time of death. And it should be shown to teenagers to Just don't do crime because you will get caught. This is amazing all of the tools used and at the same time so tragic and heartbreaking to watch, knowing what we know now about the situation.
I just started watching the trial today. Do you know if they’ve established a motive yet?
Normal people don’t kill, especially not their loved ones. I never felt the need to tell my daughters not to kill. It was understood. BTW, the most murders of family members are committed by middle age to older Adults
That's why it's especially stupid to try to get away with murder nowadays. Odds are extremely high that you WILL get caught and you WILL get convicted. With how many cameras are everywhere nowadays, gps so precise it can pinpoint damn near every move you make, all the other data your devices and vehicles record, DNA profiles extracted and amplified from the tiniest samples, and all the other technological and forensic tools an entire TEAM of investigators have at their disposal... The probability of getting away with murder shrinks every day.
@@martinalewis2844 you're so right Martina, the biggest problem is when the son described how many wapons there were at that house. I thought my goodness sounds like the deposit of an army. And then teaching children to kill animals from a very young age, that is beyond my comprehension!
@@juttaweiseunfortunately that's common in the south, especially the low country.
OMG 😱😱 so Maggie's phone was traveling at 44mph when it was thrown on the side of the road. At the same time Alex was driving 44 mph at the same time & place as Maggies phone!! How can Buster ignore these crucial fact?? And why did Alex call Buster right after the murders & Alex why did Alex delete the call to Buster in his call history? This is all very Sus!!! Its obvious Alex did it!! Question is did Buster know it was going to happen??
You don't think that this would be of his concern? 💔
Right! He's been acting like none of this phases him, Its bizarre! I'd be a mess.
Idk since the beginning I've always thought buster could have maybe been the second shooter. Either that or he knew about it
buster knew
This is 👌👌Justice For Maggie and Paul
He had no idea Paul had taken that video in the kennel!! The other video was ok because that showed his son and him together. Only thing he forgot though is that law enforcement would ask where his clothes are that he wore that day.
Awesome show tonight! I have also been following the Alex Murdaugh case! Watched ever hour for the 20 days! I completely agree with everything you was Dr. John!
What is telling in this case is the law enforcement response to the scene of a double homicide. Based on body cam he tells them he went to retrieve a gun. They verbally confirm its not on him now. They do not take him away from scene nor do we ever hear he was tested for gun powder residue. They did not lock scene down. Housekeeper came and tidied house? Family congregated in the gun room? All weapons not seized during early stage of investigation? Was the police department ever reviewed independently? The very definition of Good Ole Boys Club.
The cell phone expert knows. His face shows disgust.
