      I was fascinated by that deputy. He attended the trial in street clothes, but at the sentencing he was wearing his deputy uniform. If the hash marks on his sleeve equal 3 years of service each (as in the military), he had ten of them, or 30 years of service. He got the job (perhaps honor) of being the closest deputy to AM. I don't know anything about being a deputy, but it seems to me that he is laser focused on the back of AM's head, if it moves, he pounces.

      Arrogant. Desperate. Drugs are a helkyva drug.
      Or, Appearances are everything. If you watch the Netflix doc you will learn how important appearances are.
      I believe that he was expecting that he was so experienced and intelligent and had laid the groundwork to frame up a whole classification of suspects (those angry about the boat crash) that he thought he would get away with it and 1) inherit everything coming to his family from his dad's death; 2) receive insurance money (it worked with the poor nanny); 3) be seen as sympathetic and reap rewards from that; 4) get his wife and son off of his back about "always working" and doing drugs and blowing their money (or prevent them from ever knowing about the embezzlement and other stuff); and lastly, 5) maybe could KEEP doing drugs in private? Maybe.

      Thank you for clarifying who that man was. I have wondered for the entire trial up until yesterday who that man was because he was always in a jacket and tie, sitting directly behind AM like a rock showing no emotion. It wasn’t until yesterday when he wore a sheriff’s (or whatever that is) uniform that I understood he was from law enforcement of some kind.
      It’s peculiar to me he turned out to be the bailiff because at one point about 3-4 weeks ago my computer screen would not show the bailiff’s face except with a gray face. No eyes, nose, mouth, anything. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen. Imagine the portrayals of the grim ripper, just a blank gray blob on top of his shoulders. I was so taken aback by it that I even showed it to my husband. Everyone around him had clear features, but he had none. Just a blank, gray head. It was disturbing to say the least. It’s interesting he is now full of emotive responses to the judge about AM’s actions. Perhaps he is a form of the grim reaper taking AM to the next place. All I know is that it was disturbing to me what my screen showed that day and I guess I am still a little bit perplexed by it.

Alex Murdaugh displays the signs of being psychopathic. This is something that can, to put it simply, run in families. His son, Buster, could have learnt a lot from Judge Newman's words but he appeared with an expression similar to his father and perhaps he wasn't listening.

    Judge Newman is a remarkable judge. I was impressed by the specific wording of the sentencing of Mr Murdaugh for the murder of his son. Judge Newman added ‘whom you probably loved so much’ to this particular sentence. It impresses that this murder was not only cruel but heartless.

      Definitely. And Judge Newman lost his son to blood clots that caused his death shortly before this trial started. Judge Newman has so much wisdom. I truly admire him. And Maggie’s father has had a stroke recently. Alex caused so much destruction. As I reflect on my life, I’ve always wanted to be a blessing to those I’ve met along the way and especially now, as I have 5 very young precious grandchildren. I pray they remember me as a loving person. Alex has caused huge ripples of pain like a powerful ocean. Maggie’s family, Ms. Satterfield’s sons, the lawyers who trusted him, he destroyed the law firm that had been together for many years. Attorney Ronnie Crosby gave a great testimony. And all his clients who were extremely injured in accidents that they will never recover from, he stole millions from them. One young man who was his client was a quadriplegic, that poor young man could not even breath on his own and would require complete care 24 hours a day. And Alex stole millions from him. A few days later after Alex received those millions, the young man’s breathing machine was mysteriously turned off and he died. I will always wonder if Alex did it or paid someone to do it?! Alex is evil and I’m so glad he was found guilty!!

      15:35..."when the judge said to Alex that "within your own soul, you'll have too deal with that", ( meaning deal with the truth that he murdered his own wife and son), John Marvin shook his head up and down in a "yes" gesture agreeing with the judge. What was "REALLY" surprising was that when John Marvin was on the stand, he said his brother Alex was "NOT" the murderer. So right there John Marvin more or less admitted to the world that he himself was a "Liar", and he "KNEW" his brother was the murderer!!! Not to mention "all" the other shady dealings he's involved in, in these murders and beyond!!!
      All I can say is, Stay Tuned!

      Unfortunately they do it all the time. Statistically, we’re more likely to be killed or attacked by our friends and family… which is why they’re always the first suspects. Idk why people do what they do, and it’s really a lost cause trying to figure it out. Evil is tricky like that, you can’t quite understand it only know that people are capable of it even the people closest to you.
