He literally blew his son's brains out. The son he knew as a baby and watched him grow up. Monsterous.
Whelp this guy was on a cliff in his eyes, kid's drunken stunt is the root cause of Daddy's hidden nefarious financials being exposed - kid might have been an inadvertent witness, as well - Momma might have threatened exposure too, when she discovered her 'status' was at stake - crazy
“Ker-Blowie!” Problem solved.
Works in a sick mind!
I'm guessing that freaked him out beyond belief. "I shot at his shoulder! how did it eject his brain!? If I wanted to kill him I'd picked buckshot!" The weapon he chose for Maggie shows he wanted her very much dead. What you think?
Even if you did, it's Overkill, don't you think? It doesn't add up... Why kill both of them he would only have to kill one if he truly wanted to delay the boat case etc
If he just shot Paul, case over... This was Overkill it's a crime of passion which indicates to me it could have something to do with the boat case
That is a face of guilt and shame. Being forced to look at what he did, and what a coward he is
He has cardboard covering his screen so he dosen't have to look at the bodies
I feel he's over acting, he's trying to get attention.
@@clarencecheney7256 I believe that anyone who could do such an atrocious act should be forced to look at all of the pictures/videos of their crime!!
@@margaretnoonan7957 sure, but it hasn’t been proven in court that he’s guilty of this crime, so of course they wouldn’t force a person who’s presumed innocent to see the autopsy pictures.
Buster knows too.
It’s sobering to comprehend that in a 1,000-to-one chance the first shot to the chest was not fatal, and as Paul walked out and looked at his father there was one last opportunity for Alex to fully realize what he was doing, and to stop. But instead, Alex, with his son probably looking directly into his eyes, shot him again, blowing out Paul’s brains. Now that is unadulterated evil, pure and simple.
He never saw it coming, they explained clearly his head was turned
@@lifting.the.veilx2With all due respect, you should go to 26:15 in the video. She says he was facing toward where the gun was fired.
How he can sit through this and not just admit his guilt .. is beyond me. What a monster.
I don’t understand how he’s crying like you know you did it dude.
He fakes crying for an hour during the wife and child testimony. He is really putting on a false front. He did this while they were facing him!!!
He should just stand up and admit to everything. It’s excruciating to everyone.
Exactly what I thought, but then again we're innocent, wouldn't and can't conceive of doing this, and Most of all we dont have an ego and believe we're untouchable. U like AM
💯👏🏼
you can bet they're already planning the appeal.
If you ever convince a sociopath to fess up from a feeling of guilt, let us know. :)
too evil, for he has eliminated others for insurance. greedy.
Will Alex ever realize the depths of his depravity? I don't think so. What horrifies Alex is the thought that he might not get away with what he did. He isn't grieving; he's stewing.
His daddy is directly responsible for all of this … as he covered for Alex his whole life….. daddy’s dead,….now Alex is with out his clean up man!!!
A drug addiction on top of generations of power, money, influence, and zero accountability created an absolute monster.
@Sadie Harris not addiction, making, selling and running a drug ring. Somewhere I found Cousin Eddie interview. Checks were always made out less than $10k to stay under IRS radar...always follow the money 💰
@@sadieharris5767 Which Paul was WELL ON HIS MERRY WAY to becoming before he was obliterated and personally I can't help but feel like a whole lot of pain for others was avoided. Horrible to think that about such a young man but no doubts whatsoever that it's true.
Yes. That's right. He's never had to be accountable for his actions, and I think a life of entitlement has given him the feeling that he should be able to get away with anything. I believe every dead body that has piled up in his wake was the direct result of his actions. He's a sick, sick man.
What a waste of a human being. Wife gave him years and sons, friends looked out for him,loaned him money,Co workers looked the other way at times, clients trusted him to do the right thing,loyal housekeeper,and he still turned out to be a depraved worthless waste of space. He is sickening to even watch. His wife knew he was up to something.
I agree it is difficult to look at him - a murderous piece of scum
@@marid1580 he is! His wife and son didn't deserve that. He had all those good opportunities from colleagues to turn his treachery around but he still chose to keep going.
remember - some of those friends and friend/colleagues were complicit with Alex on many of his crimes, so make sure we don't include them.
@@flenzy I said they looked the other way
Both of his sons are/were entitled POS useless people just like him. Of course thats the way they were raised. Paul was a drunk and killed that poor young lady Ms. Beach in the boat crash. Buster is a POS who got kicked out of law school for cheating and God knows what else. Both of them are misfits.
All I can say is if that was my baby being talked about like that, I would have to be carried out of the court room. I can barely stand to hear it about someone else's baby. It's horrific.
I agree
Amen I'd be throwing up.
That SOB just sits there, it don't even bother him..
100%. I would collapse and wouldn't be able to hear it. Alex is so guilty
if it helps, paul killed someones baby too
I know I’m not alone in thinking he is RELIVING THIS as they discuss every pellet from his son. Guilty conscience!
I agree. Do you know if he was also looking at the autopsy photos?
I agree and also see grief on his face for what he denied his son.
@@libbylandscape3560 or maybe grief because he didn't meant to kill Paul? He shot birdshot after all, not buckshot. Aimed at his arms, not head or torso. The brain being ejected from a shoulder (!) shot must be something he'd never anticipated.
The man doesn't have a conscience. It's an act for the jury.
@@bumblebaa2327 That's ridiculous! He meant to kill them. They confronted for stealing, or maybe he didn't want to pay all the lawyers to kill off of manslaughter for driving a bunch drunk, doing doughnuts when everyone in the boat begged him to stop before he finally control of the boat and it hit a wood bridge and killed a young and the boyfriend testified Paul laughed. RIP/NOT and this Paul bigshot did not spend a day in jail, released before the trial. SO I guess the mother and son, most mother were about him not having to pay Paul's legal fees. Of course it has everything to do with money.
This poor child was looking directly at his own father, and in a brief moment he must have realized that his own father was about to murder him. How can this man not want to take his own life is more than I can bare. This is beyond any degree of evil I have ever witnessed.
Narcissist never kill themselves.
Paul was an entitled jerk who hit his girlfriend. Not a great loss to the world.
He took out his own demon seed.
Thank you
@@juliebolduc802 and they really have no conscience or remorse for the victim.
I agree with everything except the "poor child" description to describe a boy just as evil if not far worse than the person who finished him.
Boy, his body language and facial expressions speak volumes... He wants to lash out and object, but he knows he can't. His tears are tears of frustration and at times if looks alone could kill she would be dead. She, on the other hand, is proud as a peacock to give her scientific and professional opinion...She's a really amazing voice for Paul...
Yea he looks like he is furious, his face is red as can be!
Its what happens when a manipulative, power hungry addict sobers up and cant run from his wrong doings. Having too face what he has done to his own flesh and blood.
So many psychologists on this video...wow
@@KadyFillinger Tell us.. How does that make you feel? How is your relationship with your mother and father?
It doesnt look like real emotions to me. Something is off ned unauthentic to me.
Those poor jurors. It would be traumatizing to see those photos. So glad justice was served.
FYI: For those wondering, the lady in the background is wearing a *'Stenomask'* It is used for voice transcription of the proceedings.
(Wikipedia has a good article about it)
Thanks, I was wondering about that!
I was also wondering, and thought maybe she was voice recording. What you explained makes sense. Thanks.
Thank you hahahaha I just asked this I was so confused
Thank you ! I have been wondering about this also. They used to type everything.
Why is she speaking rather than typing? Why don't they just record using microphones on a hard drive computer?
I don’t understand how anyone can say he is not guilty. He was there at the kennels. He either did it or arranged it. The video cannot be refuted
But the issue is he is on trial for pulling the trigger. He's not on trial for arranging someone else to do it. The jury has to say he is guilty of pulling that trigger beyond a reasonable doubt. I think he's guilty - but it's a lot of circumstantial evidence which makes the state's case harder.
@@Nicolemarieee13 I thi k the judge will instruct jury that circumstantial evidence is as good as any other evidence. . And common sense should be used. And reasonable doubt doesn't mean any doubt.
Time of the murders has not been proven . They are relying when paul & maggi cellphone stopped being used. That is not good enough .
@@SS11660 🎯
@@SS11660most cases are decided on circumstantial evidence, not direct evidence. So, you’re right. It will be in the jury instructions that circumstantial evidence is to be taken seriously, as evidence.
He doesn't look upset to me; he looks angry.
It's also fascinating to watch him emote the strongest during the more "clinical" aspect of the testimony. He was almost still, quite stoic, when she was speaking about Paul not being dead after the first shot.
Paul's own behavior and Maggie's refusal to discipline her evil offspring certainly contributed to all this mess
That had nothing to do with Alex’s decision to murder them.
People like you makes me sick! Paul did a mistake all the kids did a mistake being on that boat drunk! But that is another case! His own father destroyed him cuz he saw an opportunity.. That boat crash was the perfect timing for him to commit these crimes to hide the millions that he stole.
@@57andstillkicking Tell Alex hello when you have your next in-depth conversation with him. 🙄
Lol.
Alex's demeanor is eerily reminiscent of the Groves trial, the parents who murdered their wee one and threw him down a well. Those parents bawled, sniveled, boo-hooed, and rocked their way through the court trial prior to the guilty verdict. If memory serves, the father ultimately confessed. Alex is a Jessica Groves. Don't be fooled people, Alex isn't crying for them, he's crying for himself.
Absolutely right !
i doubt anyone is fooled
I swear I was waiting for him to just come out and confess after having to hear the gruesome description of Paul’s autopsy!!
Is AM really crying? He wipes his eyes like a kitty. No tears.
@@pkay610 He was there minutes before the killings (as evidenced by Paul's video). So you are suggesting he left right before the REAL killer came, and then came back to discover the bodies without seeing anything?
This testimony is extremely graphic. Paul obviously turned his head toward the shooter. I can't even imagine the instantaneous fear and bewilderment he felt at the last moment of his life.
Yes, I believe the first shot which didn’t kill him he was facing his shooter then he turned to run away then looked over his left shoulder as he did try to get away and got killed with that second shot.
@@EmilyLucille523 why shoot with birdshot though? that's not meant to kill humans, is it? The brain wound from a shoulder (!) shot must have freaked Alex out, he never expected that possible.
Probably the same fear the girl had when she got thrown out of his boat.
@@nelle9118 Yep!
Especially if it was in fact his own father.
She's got this kind of upbeat delivery that flies in the face of the hideous wounds she witnessed. Yikes, I could never imagine being an autopsy doc.
ever!!!!!
I think once the naturally fear reaction to performing autopsies settles down, the knowledge of the minute forensic investigation as the victim releases the details of the mechanics of injury would be absolutely fascinating!
But, I will stick to my 45 years of cabinet making.😉
@@latema.k hey
It's weird. She sounds like a peppy cheerleader.
23:11 the shot ejected his brain and the brain came in a separate bucket.
murder of your own child is unfathomable
OMG! Paul was facing his father when he was shot to death. So horrific for him!
Wasn't facing his father, listen again to the angle of the 2 shots from the taller father
They're working on it
Facing the shooter. Innocent until proven guilty…beyond a reasonable doubt.
@looking -- the doctor said that the second shot occurred with Paul's head to the left facing but we don't know if his mind registered who shot him because we don't know if he made eye contact in those tenths of a second before the second blast occurred. It was fast.
Secondly we don't know if Alex actually pulled the trigger.
Paul's arms weren't even raised in defence as though he was certain whoever faced him wouldn't shoot him. Normally its a natural thing to do to show submission to a stranger as if to reassure them you won't be a hero is to raise your hands like the police tell you to do but clearly he didn't feel the need to do that with a person familiar to him.
He looks so full of rage during this testimony. It feels to me as an observer, that he cannot believe he's being held accountable for this. Considering his family's legacy of wealth and privilege, I bet this is in fact the first time ever he's not been able to talk his way out of abhorrent behavior.
I agree! He is indignant that he is not able to get out of this one and that his power is no longer viable.
@@1955dmb I pray that he does not get out of this one. Could be a hung jury?
I so agree, sits there all blown up, red faced, looking like he's going to explode with anger.
Yup, he wasn’t planning on his victim, his own son, recording a video with his own voice on it - exactly 4 minutes before doing the unthinkable.
@@patriciaihlenfeld8026if it is a hung jury - then I lose all faith in the basic intellectual, critical reason skills of my fellow citizens. And in that case, we’d all better pray that we never find ourselves in the terrible position of counting on a jury to give us justice!
Oh my god, this lady is a POWERFUL testimony. She is so likable, patient, precise, kind and truly wants, and loves to educate.
You can tell this is her life passion.
This is an extremely effective person for the Prosecutor.
"The lady" is knowledgeable about ballastics. However, there's no such thing as an assault rifle.
@@gearmeister Looks like the NRA has their designated "technically not an assault rifle", "no such thing as assault rifle", here to split hairs and divert everyone to semantics. I grew up hunting, even belonged to the NRA as a kid when they were a sporting association not a political PAC, some of the family were farmers back to 1822 and had shotguns standing behind the bedroom door, etc. The design of an AR is birthed from weapons designed for war....it's close enough to an StG 44 that if she wants to call it an assault weapon that's close enough......especially with her medical degree, 20 years of experience and over 5,000 autopsies.
She was every inch a PERFECT LADY 👌🌹
@@gabrieln3613 She can call it an "assault rifle" if she wants to all day long just like the NRA hating left wing does. You can see the twisted unrealistic view of the left in refusing to acknowledge the NRA as an organization formed to promote rifle & gun safety. Alec Baldwin is in deep trouble for his refusal to learn about gun safety. The NRA must lobby to try to defend itself from gun terrorists (gun haters) lastly a good guy with a gun could have saved Murdaugh's son and wife but not the maid who was murdered by someone in the family
@@gearmeister yes there is such a thing, it’s intended for military use, mag fed rapid fire automatic rifle…. She was just saying when a projectile leaves the barrel of gun etc she also brought up pistol and that’s not one of the murder weapons.
It's inconceivable to me how anyone could do this to their child. Beyond my understanding entirely.
True, but all parents condemn their kids to suffering and death. All parents unalive their children.
Wow. I can't even fathom doing this to my worst enemy much less my precious child.
Right??
And wife he's a monster
That’s because most of us here are normal human beings.
It's beyond belief what individuals can do, greed all the way! 🤦
He was sick of that kid, who was getting ready to be trialed for the accidental death of a girl, he was responsible for. She was in his boat and he was handling the boat, until he lost control and the girl died. Dad ( Alex) would have been reponsible for a huge law suit ( civil ). Now, a dead kid cannot be trialed. Case over. He needed to get rid of him. Maggie ? we heard, she wanted a divorce ! That is my personal intuition, trying to see what caused this slaughter. It was likely planned.
Anybody that shoots shotguns knows for the wad to penetrate at all, you have to be very close!! The fact Paul had damning video evidence that puts Alex at the scene, how can you defend that you didn’t do it when you would’ve seen who did it since you were there. Guilty 100%. His reaction having to relive what he did to Paul says a lot.
Yes, much more emotional here than in his poor wife's description of all this
Could imagine exactly what happened, brilliant pathologist!
AMEN!!!! He and Harpootlian don’t look very happy at all! It’s gonna be rough debunking that testimony for sure!!!!
Can you imagine being the person responsible for the shooting and having someone else retell the story that took place in front of him by someone who wasn’t there!!! Apparently 100yrs of Law in the family went right over his head, and he only got clients based on family history. That’s what made him so confident in embezzling all that he did!!!
I just started this case with only 2 videos. Could you please explain what you meant by Paul's video that you mentioned? If you have time. Thank you.
Guilty!!!
The way the brain arrived to the autopsy in another bucket went all over me. It’s 5 am in the morning and I’m having a difficult time going back to sleep after watching this. Wow!!! How could someone be so evil???
Yeah, that hit me like a brick. In a bucket.
This family were expects with guns. This monster KNEW what a shotgun blast to the head would do. Scary man.
He even botched killing his son outright” and when he tried to put Paul out of his misery he blew his brain out of his skull” .. oh my I sincerely hope he is seriously and painfully attacked in prison!
Dr. Reimer is one feisty pathologist. I was so impressed by this woman for her passion and knowledge and ability to explain what happened in a down to earth manner. Also and most importantly, so grateful for her compassion towards these poor tortured victims. Clear as a bell she was.
I again, thought she was a poor communicator of simple mechanical aspects of the shooting... she does not have a succinct grasp on words and concepts and tends to muddle
Sorry but I don’t agree with all those who are shouting Kudos to this pathologist. I just retired after 35 years on the bench and I think she seemed very awkward. Her articulation is stilted and she sounds like she’s explaining to a class of elementary children. Her continued umm and umm while explaining was distracting. She seemed to be struggling with the right and left side of the body. In addition her smiling while waiting for the attorneys to position the displays was to me inappropriate to the seriousness of the occasion. I am sure she is a lovely and talented medical examiner but to tout her court performance as exceptional is in my opinion unwarranted. She needs more courtroom training; with that I am sure she will eventually end up EXCEPTIONAL. No, I’m not Attila the Hun; I just know exceptional court testimony when I see it.
@@paulacorreal1675 Surely for all your years “on the bench”, you’re not critiquing her acting ability? She comes across as a very intelligent MD, who shows me exceptional capability to explain things in layman terms.
35 years MD.
Like other pathologiste man or woman can do
I noticed she said "um" frequently. Is English her second language? Does she speak another language as her primary language?
Give it a rest Alex! We see right though you.
I want to click your thumbs up a hundred times.
As an experienced hunter IF he did this, he knew exactly what would happen
Alex is clearly having an allergic reaction to the truth
This is just horrific. Nobody deserves this, nobody deserves a death like that, no matter what were their mistakes. And by their own father. There are no words for this.
Very knowledgeable pathologist. She explains her finding well and is easy to follow/understand.
Yet, a tad annoying.
um um um um
She clearly knows little about firearms if she thinks shotgun shells have pellets contained in the wadding. That's completely incorrect and makes absolutely no sense
@@GorillaCookies exactly
@@klashy47 The term "wadding" is itself incorrect. "Wadding" refers to a patch of cloth that served the same purpose in muzzle-loading shotguns. Today the plastic cup containing the pellets is referred to simply as the "wad."
We appreciate the team on this channel keeping us all up to date everyday. THANK YOU!!!!
I agree… everything you need is on this channel 👏🏻
Lol they ain't doing it for free
@@Tekner436 So?
✔️ Hey, I'm just glad that she explained that if a projectile fired from a gun fails to contact a target, and if it continues to travel through the air, there's a limit to how far they will travel before losing velocity and dropping to the ground. Like most people, I assumed that if the bullets and shotgun pellets failed to hit a target, that they would just continue flying on their original trajectory, effectively orbiting the Earth for the rest of eternity, until they finally do hit something! Thanks for clearing that up lady! 😃
This is absolutely heartbreaking!! How can he even want to be alive!?! Your child saw you murder him! You can’t take that back! I hope it haunts him for the rest of his life! RIP to both ..
Just fyi I was married to a diagnosed sociopath, I was unaware and didn't find out this diagnosis until I came across his dd214 from the army kicking him out for it. Trust me he feels nothing. They know no love, empathy, regret or remorse. Other people aren't people to them, they are objects to use as they want
Slamming Tammy!
Your child saw you murder him,chilling
The reactions and the way he relives the moments as she described them is incriminating in itself, I’m surprised at one point he didn’t stop her and tell her that’s not how he shot his son,
Right
Right!
It looked like he wanted to kill the pathologist…the look he was giving her..very upset..thats the same anger he had that night
Sounds like trump to me.
The way he took the Kleenex from box showed anger...
He's not crying because of what he done. He's crying because he got caught. Thank god for Paul's Snapchat, it places Alex there at the kennels. What man would kill their own child and spouse in such a horrific manner? It's abominable. I hope he sits in a cell and thinks long and hard about what he's done. I'm glad to hear this lady speak on Paul... because Alex doesn't wanna hear nor see what he did. Sucks ey to face the reality of your actions. Little detective solved his and his mother's death.
Rip to Paul and Maggie. 🙏🏽 🕊
Maybe he could chat with Chris Watts?
He's crying because he can't spend all that money he has hidden all over the place.
@Sally Foxboro I noticed in the body cam video when the first responders arrived, Alex was doing that self-hugging body language just like Chris Watts did. It's chilling.
@@sadieharris5767 i watched that, he did not seem grieving nor was he visablly shaken if some sttanger had done this. did you hear what he said " they are dead aren't They?" Who says that... wouldn't you say I hope they aren't dead... so sus. Seeing the dogs barking and whimpering broke my heart 💔 the dogs showed more emotions than Alex.
@@Mysteriousgirl13 - I totally agree with you…….so tragic.
It's really good to watch him go through all this excruciating evidence of what he caused and how they suffered..there's no remorse and the jury will see straight through it
Dr. Pathologist lady and her matter-of-factness and level-headedness was killer testimony. I love medical examiners and the under appreciated work they do. Her tone was as if she were on a cooking show.
I’d be puking right now & sobbing! The problem with AM is that he not once in all of his so called interrogations with police, did he ever ask who did this! Or we need to find who did this! I want to find this or these murders! Etc.
Agree because he already knew the answer...
Great point!
That is why most people thought OJ was guilty because he didn't ask how they died.
Or why didn't he ask for the area to be cordoned off and searched?
true
Buster looks troubled at the description of Paul's arm being down at time of shooting that was closer than 3 feet away. Seems he is realizing that Paul had to know his shooter very well to be nonreactive at such close distance. However Buster is oddly calm and unmoved in appearance when they describe the second shot. Doesn't seem like a normal sibling response. Horrible situation to be in.
Exactly excellent point
Great point
Brilliant point, I hadn't thought about that.
Im still not convinced that AM is taking the fall for Buster.
@@ronyalemerrill Buster has a solid alibi. Prosecutors have confirmed it and he could not of been there.
How anyone can kill their own son and wife is beyond me. The father's expressions throughout this is truely terrifying at times.
True babe i would only want to spoil u
I think Paul was on the way to being just like his dad. When Paul was drunk, which was a lot, he did what he wanted to whom ever he wanted. I guess the feeling of entitlement is very strong! The whole family had it! Alex brought his kids up to believe they’re entitled and better than everyone 💜💜💜
I could not agree more with this comment. you could see this kid was entitled and arrogant just like his father.
His living son is eating candy & sunflower seeds while they’re talking about his mother & brother. Blank stare.
True but he was still pretty young wasn't he? Like 21 or so can't remember.
@@Wyatt_o7 he was 22 at the time of his death I believe. But with enabling parents like Maggie and Alex, that kid was incorrigible. I’m actually kinda surprised the older son Buster seems a bit more mature n grounded.
Paul had 2 names Timmy was the name his freinds called him when he was out of control
Alex looks more angry that he has to listen to the atrocity that he caused to his son and wife more than he is sorrowful.
He has already read & heard of the 2 victims death descriptions.
If I were the defendant, now would be the time I would throw up in the court room.
The poor jury looking at color photos of the inside of Paul's empty skull.
Stand up & say guilty, Alex! Man up. It's over.
Dude is almost as aggressive with tissues as his is with his family.
Wow absolutely nothing was going right for old Alex was it.
I mean if you shoot your son with a 3inch shell and all the boy needs is a bit of a clean and some stitches to walk away, you u are REALLY REALLY unlucky. Smh...
That Forensic Pathologist was really into her job!
When he told the investigators he had been at his Mothers for @about an hour and a half” I couldn’t believe the blatant lie.
Hope Alex visualises this every single day! He’s so guilty 💯
Just like Watts hears "no daddy" everyday!
His crying doesn’t prove grief, it proves guilt. This is absolutely the most critical part of this trial making him sit through the detailed descriptions and photos (labeling the pictures with their name) brilliant play by the prosecutors HEAVILY FOCUSING on the injuries in GREAT DETAIL.
It's not brilliant, it's basic. That's what you do with a murder trial. It's 100% mandatory that they don't leave any opening for doubt that he wasn't *really* shot from a different angle or something like that. Because you can bet that those defenders were listening to every single word she uttered, looking for something they can use on appeal. The prosecutors would have been practically guilty of malpractice if they hadn't done what they did. -- Having said that, she did an outstanding job of presenting the facts.
Personally I’m glad Alex is having to see what he did to his own wife and child! Wife is bad enough but your child?!! NO WAY! He’s so evil make him look😡😡😡
I cannot imagine having done so many autopsies that murders this gruesome wouldn’t bother you in the slightest. She smiles as she says “just the nature of the beast” she’s obviously incredible at her job, it just amazes me! I was a paramedic in Los Angeles and saw some extremely gruesome deaths, but it always bothered me. She’s so numb to it
She has done over 5500 of these autopsies and is a true professional. Her detachment is necessary to be effective as a forensic scientist and an educator.
She's not numb. She is involved and clinical. Good at her job.
She's professional
@@ginadowd1713 💯 professional and giving a good explanation
I wonder if she ever breaks down when she’s alone at home. Such a brave and necessary career
When the pathologist said that Paul was still standing after the first shot I could just imagine Alex going back in time and remembering. How horrifying!
first shot to the arm, second shot at the shoulder. Could it be he meant only to wound? To keep Paul from witnessing the real murder (Maggie)? Alec chose birdshot not buckshot for Paul… mostly not-fatal for humans. (Unless a freak thing happens and the brain gets ejected from the skull, from a shot to the shoulder.)
I love this woman! It's like she's giving a university lecture!
I thought the same thing! It’s almost as if she’s giving a lecture
And she's excited
Excited makes it sound like she’s a sadist or something….I think she’s just passionate about her job *and* wants to make sure she’s speaking in a way that the jury will pay attention to and understand.
@@loes3000 unprofessional
She is giving a lecture. Education is necessary to even comprehend the heinous nature of this crime. She is a doctor of forensic pathology...remember Jack Klugman as Quincy on TV? She is the real deal at MUSC
She's described things so well , I actually wished I could see the photos!
No way… no.
@@uggggggghhhhh wow thanks!
Did you find the photos as I can't?
What gets me watching this...I didn't see either of his lawyers give him one ounce of sympathy or care. They are long life friends and not one touch to the arm, not one touch to the shoulder not " are you ok mate" they know and they can't bring themselves to comfort him. They will represent him but won't comfort him. Says so much
That's a good observation. I incredible laywer would have done that and the fact they were friends is just worse.
Probably because they knew he is guilty and he sickened them inspite of having to defend him
Such a Valid Observation 👏🏻 Good eye. They know they are just doing a job for him. And He committed these atrocities to people they cared for as well.
Excellent point. They know he’s guilty. They know he murdered, brutally murdered his own family. What kind of evil is this? Pure evil. 😢
Good point, I thought the same thing as clearly all this information is graphic and upsetting and they don't attempt to reassure him at all, very telling indeed.
I don't understand how his other son can sit and listen to all of this and not be physically ill 🫣
I would have run out of the court absolutely. I wonder how many Alex supporters are going to see the truth and stop coming after listening to all the evidence
I agree
You got that right. He is not normal either. I find his lack of emotion baffling.
She is likable and credible. A solid witness.
And a pleasure (considering the awful circumstances) to watch. She has a unique ability to convey complicated information in a way a lay person can understand.
Must be something to sit there and listen to someone explain to you what you did and having to replay it in your mind.
he is angry bc the facts/truth incriminate-narcs hate being found out
Literally when she explained that Paul was looking towards the shooter, Alex got so uncomfortable. To me it feels as if they made eye contact,
Alec, his son and the entire gang of supporters over there are the coldest bunch of people I’ve ever seen in a murder trial.
Alex just thinking about the actual scene while its being described.. evil
My thoughts exactly.
Over and over and over again, relentlessly if he did it.
Me too.
I often find myself, during the course of a trial, wanting to feel bad for the defendant even though they may very obviously be guilty. I think it's because I can't fully imagine someone doing stuff like this. The graphic nature of the gunshot wounds, etc. But I think it's important to remember I feel that way because I have empathy, something Alex seems to lack entirely for having the ability to do this to his own family.
Alex deserves to hear every bit of this graphic testimony. He wanted this. He could have just manned up.
He manned up now to the financial $hit, a bit too late. He thinks being honest now about the financials will get him off . Such a shame. But I HONESTLY THINK THE KID WAS WORSE THAN HIM.
I see Alex smirk as in slightly smiling a lot during this trial! There is something quiet evil about this man!!!!
Imagine having to keep up the facade of innocence while theres graphic illustrations of your wife and sons gunshot wounds are being presented. The degree of narcissism/ pathology to " act" for a 2 month trial. Full blown sociopath.
What kind of monster could do this to their own kid? It's incomprehensible to me.
Everytime she says UMMM... take a drink!
The first shot didn't kill him...wow.
It didn't even knock him down.
He made sure with the second shot
And that’s scary
Exactly 💯 He hunts often, target practice etc. He wouldn't botch it like that...overkill
Just struggling to understand how his other son Buster is supporting him..
He was offered a plea deal in the beginning but he refused it because he doesn't mind putting everybody through this horror. It's all about him and the art of crying hysterically without shedding a tear.
Did you ever consider that he refused it because he didn't do it?
@@soupnfresh it has not been proven that he killed them nor has it been proven that it was premeditated
@@unapologeticallyme7664 Uh, it's been proven now. But you're probably still babbling nonsense.
@@unapologeticallyme7664 "Did you ever consider that he refused it because he didn't do it?" Of course I considered it, before I knew what evidence they had. But then it became obvious. Duh.
@@unapologeticallyme7664did you ever consider that he refused it because he has been in constant denial and assumed he could beat the charges?
It’s about time this family and Alex is held accountable for their actions. The chaos has stop
I think he is sitting there trying not to relive the horrible things he did to two people he loved.
I don't know if he ever loved them. I could not blow the brains out of someone I loved.
@@marygoff3332 From history it seems he did BUT then how do you blow your son’s head off and stand over your wife and fire into her with an assault rife?
Now that he is sober and has to take it all in!
I agree
Right..Alcohol and drugs..they lower ur inhibitions
This woman Forensic Autopsy Doctor is extremely knowledgeable and able to describe in detail and in a way a lay person can understand the nature of the injuries sustained by the victims. She’s really good, as is the Prosecutor.
Forensic pathologists spend YEARS after they’ve qualified as a doctor, to be qualified to perform these forensic autopsies. They have to know every disease and every symptom that shows on a body, as well as violent deaths, ie, type of knife used, was it double edged or single edged, did it have a hilt, was it left or right hand that stabbed, etc. incredible. 👍🏽
No male pathologist has testified, so why use "woman" as a descriptor? It comes off as diminutive. Just say pathologist, or Forensic Autopsy Doctor, without a qualifier.
The dissonance between what she's describing, and her personal pleasantness is difficult to comprehend. A consummate professional right there. Absolutely horrifying details. 😔
Thank you - was wondering and came to the comments section to see if anyone said anything about it...and here you were 👍
Pathologists typically complete a 4 year residency in anatomical and clinical pathology.
he cant stomach to recollect the damage and pain he has brought upon himself and family. Oh what a woman thank you
This pathologist or examiner does a fabulous job. She gives a voice to the victim in a way that you hear them so loud and clear. As a man in his late 30's, with 3 young kids, this is brutal to watch as I'm sure it is for every other parent. I can't fathom how Alex hasn't killed himself yet.
So after the first shot, Paul looked at his father as he shot him a second time and literally blew his brains out.
In my opinion he probably thought his dad accidentally shot him on the first round, and was actually stumbling TOWARD his dad for help, not expecting his dad to shoot him again.
@@majestabishop1602 that was my thought as well.
“Brain arrived for the autopsy in a separate bucket.. “ So brutal man
That stopped me in my tracks.
OMG
Wow…this is so intense. I always kinda thought the expression “blew his brain out” was hyperbole…NOT ANYMORE. thanks to this Doctors vivid descriptions I’ll never unsee poor Paul’s BRUTAL demise.
I can’t get the image of a “brain in a bucket” out of my mind. So glad I don’t have to look at pictures from the scene
Did you ever watch menendez bros trial and autopsy of the trial lyle menendez shot his father at close range and he to literally blew his Dada brain out the coroner Saud when they lifted the fathers body off the couch his brain fell out ,those greedy bros got lwop ,evil greedy lieing monsters just like this alex murdaugh er
Shooting someone with a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buck shot or 00 buck at close range is not gonna be pretty. I had a friend that took a close range shot from a 12 gauge with 00 buck in his forearm & his arm was nearly completely severed & had to be amputated.
The second gunshot the coroner describes is horrific. His head was basically blown apart as she describes the brain exiting the skull. It is interesting that these cases are televised as here in the UK they are not. We would never hear graphic details like these unless we were in the court. Very sad that this young man suffered such a horrific death at the hands of his father. I can't imagine listening to this as a description of what happened to my son, never mind knowing I had done it! It is sickening.
I love the pathologist. She's so exuberant and loves her job.
um um um i dont um um i think she's um um irritating
She’s way too exuberant for me and sometimes speaks like a valley girl.
That face injury Dr Riemer explained also means Paul wasn't looking at the assailant when shot was fired, he only looked toward where the shot came from after receiving the first shot, which mean whoever shot him most likely is someone he trusted, and that he was caught off guard, because the first shot would have been very close range, he must have trust that person to have hold the shotgun 2 to 3 feet from him when he is looking at the other side..
"Daddy!"
If Paul was able to make out who the shooter was, he was probably in so much confusion...seeing someone who looked like his dad....but likely not able to believe it was his dad. That would be the last thing anyone would be able to grasp during a shooting like this.
Now that he has detoxed , he is reliving the entire scene. it must be terrifying for him to realize what he actually did to his young son
I think you're right on, Barbara. I was wondering while I was watching Alex listenng to the pathologist's testimony if Alex was in a blackout - from drugs - when he murdered his wife and son. Wish someone would address this.
@EmmySue HI EmmySue. Even the judge referred to that when he said Alex had become a "Monster" from all the pills he had taken for so long. I know he is a Narcassist but I do believe he did have some genuine remorse when they showed the pictures of the crime scene
Also I think when he is under the influence of the mind altering drugs demonic powers drove him to kill Maggie and Paul. And to numb his brain to commit all the theft from his vulnerable clients. Now that he is released from that power he couldn't believe what heinous crimes he did to his son and wife
@@Pecan215 No ma’am we can’t blame drugs on this man’s dark soul. There are a lot of dug addicts who don’t kill their families!
@@Ndisikasewe you completely missed the point. That is not what I was implying. “Never mind”.
He’s not crying for his son or wife, he’s crying for himself. He’s admittedly a deceiver.
This is so sad, literally just unbelievable that this man could have done this. How do you live with yourself.
He is a sociopath so he can and will.
Idk......This Is Truly Evil.🔥👿
Tearing up, wow, he knows exactly what happened, he did it.
And if he WASN'T tearing up? What would that mean? smdh
Seriously? That's ridiculous, cmon.
Do you know that for a fact?
Buster looks pretty chill. If I was hearing that much detail about my brother, I’d be in tears
HOW could anyone do that to their own wife and child??? This man is coming from a dark place.
I can’t imagine Maggie seeing her son shot in front of her own eyes and trying to crawl away…How wicked can you be to do that to a mother and your wife and your own son…My heart hurts so badly for those who have to live with he devastation of this man in sooo many ways…😊
Maggie and Paul were, without a doubt, difficult to find sympathy for (from my way of thinking) but this guy is pure evil, no doubt.
Is that what they’re saying? That he was killed first? I tend to think they were in separate sections of the kennel and if he was first, she came running in to see what happened and froze when she started to register the situation, I don’t think she was crawling anywhere, I think all of this happened very very quickly. Faster than we realize. Her stomach (kidney) wound would have been so painful that it’s unlikely she was able to concentrate on moving anywhere other than to ball up.
These are the type of people who do all sorts of alterations to their weapons and the rifle that killed Maggie likely had a very sensitive trigger which was easy to engage quickly and repeatedly. Kind of like a spray but he probably did it slower than how people usually like to shoot them.
Drug addicts will do anything to support their habit
@@PresleysMom504 I think so too. But why chose birdshot for Paul? and only shoot at his arms? Not meaning to kill, just to incapacitate him so he wouldn't witness the real murder: Maggie with an automatic. Very definitive.
@@bumblebaa2327 I just pulled a crime scene layout, they were in VERY different areas of kennel, just like I thought. It looks like, from the layout, only Alex could see both of them from where he was standing, I’m trying to figure out from photos exactly what everything looked like-I think Maggie would be able to see Paul. I think there was a shotgun that was always in whatever area he killed Paul. I don’t think he prepared it in advance and if he did, it was probably done to further doubt that it was one person.
Why did he pick birdshot? I can’t tell you for sure but my cousin was murdered recently and his killer used a shotgun with birdshot. It got the job done, especially at close range.
He did shoot Paul in the head, though, destroyed his brain stem. His entire head was blown off except for the majority of his face. It’s obvious Paul was cleaning out the kennel or something like that based on the water pooled around him and the running hose.
It’s hard to say who the intended target was, he may have had to make a quick decision about killing Paul because he was doing stuff in the feed room and he only expected Maggie there. I think he probably started lower on both of them because he was nervous, Paul especially. Maggie’s gunshots were definitely more intentionally placed. I genuinely think he was likely crying and apologizing and probably a bit hysterical.
Based on the layout, after killing Paul, Maggie was likely coming through or towards the hanger, all he had to do was turn and advance to head towards her. I think he dropped the shotgun and likely had rifle hanging on his shoulder or set nearby. I think all of this happened really really fast. I think he gathered the guns and immediately went back to the house to clean up and compose himself. Got rid of the weapons, changed, and then went back to the scene, fooled with the phone or whatever and then called 911. His reactions were probably real, to a degree, but I think he mentally prepared himself to react as if someone else had done it, if that makes sense? Even as the gunman, the ordeal would still be traumatizing and I can see he does have some kind of PTSD from it. Who wouldn’t, really?
Anyone notice Alex isn't breathing heavily? If I were witnessing this horror, I think I'd be hyperventilating and near collapse.
What is particularly damning is that when AM called 911 after just allegedly viewing the murdered bodies of his wife and son, he is totally silent until the 911 operator speaks. What he was not aware of is that when you call 911, the recording starts immediately even before the 911 operator speaks. AM was not breathing heavily or evidencing any sounds of distress. AM turned on the heavy breathing, whining voice, and sounds of choked sobs only when the operator spoke.
HE doesn't fool me with those silly expressions!
I'll bet Paul was walking to his father for help thinking that maybe his dad shot him by accident.... there's no way he could have possibly had time to Fathom that his dad shot him on purpose.
I just learned through the Murdaugh murders podcast of the many many horrible crimes he committed prior to this. It is totally believable that he did this. Past behavior, predicts future behavior. I believe he has more than 80 federal charges against him right now. Even if he gets out of this, he won’t get out of the others. He’s already admitted guilt he’s going away for the rest of his life.
I hope you never serve on a jury in a criminal trial.
That channel is great with all the information they provide because they have investigated this family for over three years.
@@johnqpublic2718 - Dude, shut up. I’m so tired of you Murdaugh trolls popping up everywhere like it’s not obvious.
I don't see him serving a majority of his sentence. You can read that anyway you want.
Bernie Madoff was his hero!!😡
I think father and son locked eyes for one horrible second.
The pain in This poor Mothers heart watching her baby being coldly murdered, outweighs any pain from any bullets that hit that Mothers body 💔
He so wanted her to suffer for daring to leave him. he made sure she saw her baby die then took his time shooting her till he put that 5th shot into her head. I can just imagine what he was saying to her with each shot. Just evil
I’d rather die, than see that happen to my own children. Without doubt, I would rather die than feel what Maggie had to feel that night. The horror must have been staggering. What sort of human being could do this? It’s beyond my comprehension.
He seems more angry than upset........
I can only imagine what is going through AM head with what Paul may have said when the first shot didn’t kill him & AM starting to go for the second shot.
Interesting!
The pathologist seems like such a nice and caring person.💟
She's brilliant!! Everything is explained perfectly that every person in that court room understands how this horrible tragedy happened. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for all victims.
She is so intelligent and speaks for the body
This man had so much rage towards his son and wife.
He makes me sick with his fake crying trying to make himself look sad etc , hope he gets what he deserves for what he did , guilty guilty guilty
