      Yes I agree with you 100%.
      It's kind of easy to prove a liar. Especially when they do it all the time.
      I think people that do crimes like this don't believe there's a God. They don't believe there's a judgement day.
      They don't read the Bible where it says the secrets of men will be revealed for the whole world to hear.
      It's good to read the Bible because it's what you don't know that's going to condemn you.

      Harpootlian is universally loathed. Even by his contemporaries in the field. The man is a prick. A good old boy, to understate it! Good news is, he’s now done. He’s already close to aging out legally. Plus, his (already horrible) reputation has now suffered it’s death blow. Good riddance. *side note: ironically, I find Jim Griffin to be basically a stand up guy, doing his best in a really unenviable position. Every accused person in this country deserves solid legal representation, and I feel like Mr. Griffin provided it.

I think Alex is a disgusting human but I still don't know if he did the murders after watching this whole trial! He had more evidence in the stolen finances than the actual murder and it was a murder case! There's still way too many questions! Especially looking at it as a jury should! I have never watched a trial like this ever!

    I just want to say how truly fascinating it was to watch this trial.
    I didn't even watch the oj trial in its entirety.
    I really wish all lawyers were champions of truth & all judges instilled with the integrity I witnessed during the murdaugh trial.
    It held me spellbound.
    I'd expected a hung jury.
    I'd underestimated the good people serving as jurors.
    My heart goes out to Maggie, and to Paul.
    It's extraordinary that he happened to make that video.
    May they rest in eternal peace.

    You would think he as an attorney , would know to shut up. The Narcissism just wouldn’t allow himself to zip it. The rules don’t apply to him apparently, as we all know.

    Alex brought himself down when he asked Waters that he'd need to know where his assertion was stemming from and they replayed the first car SLED interview again.
