‘Common Sense’: Alex Murdaugh Killed His Wife and Son to Save Himself, Prosecutor Says
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2023
- Prosecutor John Meadors pressed the jury to convict Alex Murdaugh of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. “It’s common sense,” Meadors repeated throughout the intense rebuttal closing arguments while pointing out every reason the jury should believe the disgraced lawyer killed his wife and son. “Thank God for Bubba,” Meadors announced explaining that Murdaugh was caught lying about being with his family at the kennels before they were shot to death.

It’s amazing to me that there are people who think he’s innocent after watching this trial. But then there are also people who believe OJ is innocent. Lots of ignorant and gullible people out there, I guess. But this one is pretty obvious to anyone with any common sense.
I think it’s obvious, but I also think the state is doing a poor job of erasing reasonable doubt for the jury. We have access to way more information than the jury does, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a few wanted to let him walk.
Our country swims in ignorance unfortunately.
Doesn't prove a motive beyond a reasonable doubt
I mean the only question to ask is how much of a coincidence it would be for some rando to show up at the perfect time to kill Paul and Maggie? AM is the only one who knew they were at kennels c'mon no random person would show up and pull off the perfect murders there is no way that's a coincidence AM KNEW they were at kennelsM!! No one else was just going to show up and take a chance, so ignorance is rampid!!!
@@mariemurphy2748 it truly is amazing just how ignorant and gullible some people are. 🤦🏼
At this point, Alex is GUILTY beyond even UNreasonable doubt!
He will end up using a rope to free his mental anguish .. once in jail
The preponderance of evidence convicted him.
I don't think the state proved unreasonable doubt. But the jury bought it. Worked out in the end. He is set up for an attempt at an appeal.
Yes did u see Alex face while this prosecutor is talking it’s a look of hate like shut up you telling the truth on me. I bet if Alec had access to gun he would have shot this dude here n court. If Alec can annihilate his own family imagine what he would do to a stranger!!
There is no more critical piece of evidence against Alex than lying about being at the kennels.
There is absolutely ZERO reason for him to do that other than guilt.
Agreed. When he lied, the time of death had not been determined yet. HE KNEW.
@@BMotz-ym1fn it says they didn’t ask about it until way later. That’s all it says.
If his paranoia is so easiliy triggered, makes me wonder if something Maggie or Paul said also triggered his paranoia. Maybe one, or both, ridiculed his drug habbit or something...triggering rage, not paranoia.
I dont agree, people with panic don't know what they talking about it.
@@trailrunner925 and within four minutes he got guns killed them cleaned himself cleaned the guns grabbed Maggie’s phone (but not Paul’s or the shell casings) then rolled out? Please use your brain and pay attention to how busted the “critical timeline” is. It’s honestly a joke to anyone with reasoning.
He didn't count on cell phone data and OnStar to bust him!!! What a clown
The ONStar data HEPLS him. It was HIS lawyers that got that data, NOT the idiotic prosecution. You realize that, right??
@@nielgregory108 Cobblers
Alex's clown name in jail will be BaBa
The kennel video is the kicker.
My mom would say: he was too smart for his own britches.
His family smirking and giggling behind him says everything I need to know about that horrible family.
THE ADAMS FAMILY
DD
can you tell me where you see this in this particular video? there is literally nothing like this here, only buster was showed for a second and he simply listens, where is he 'smirking' ?
I agree I seen his brother doing this several times
Absolute pure EVIL!!
Where the heck was this prosecutor all this time? He's a ROCK STAR.
James Martin: Definitely perfect for Closing Argument for that geographical and cultural area, one of their own!
I didn't like him - he got into witness personal space and is way to dramatic for me. So that just shows you how different people are with their ideas. He reminded me of my two year old in the grocery store screaming for his way.
Shut up Diane no one cares what you think
Yes! *He IS "rock star"* 👏
I was glued to the screen when Mr Meadors was 'preaching' 🙏. My favorite: 16:00 *"Your greatest power is your power to choose "*
Matlock explaining the "Aha" moment when Paul's friend was a witness on video chat 5 minutes before the murders 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
You can see the guilt written all over his face
Paul convicted Alex from the grave.
its absolutely breathtaking...im in awe...God said "No more, Alex."
If I was Busters girlfriend I’d be getting far far away from this family.
I hope she is using her powers of logic. She should run as fast as she can!
@@ellenkramer7479 yes, run fast, run far….
Yep, thinking same thing
Run, girl, Run !!
As fast as you can !!
As far as you want !!
Just remember the Stephen Smith murder investigation NOW
He lied about being at the kennels at the time or approximate time that the murders occurred before a timeline was even given. How did he know to lie about the time he wasn’t down at the kennels if that’s the time they were killed and no one knew what time they had been killed yet? Guilty!
Did he ever explain why he took a shower and got rid of the clothes he checked for PAW PAWs pulse in? Idk about you, but taking a shower and changing clothes would be the LAST thing I'd be doing, considering there is a killer, who I JUST missed, who just blew my wife and son away somewhere on my property.
Agreed. He was showering to wash the blood off himself probaly. If he had it on the clothes he was wearing when shots were fired, then he most likely had it on him
Meme Man: Definitely Agree!!
Such a cruel man. Killed wife and Son not out of hate/ in a moment of madness, just to save his career and to cover up mistakes at profession. I guess prosecution would ask for death penalty.
Agree. He gives me the chills. His eyes are as dark as the ones of buster. Tears ... I mean: REAL tears are not a strength of this family. The witnesses have cried more tears over the dead people than this evil EVIL man.
I think the death penalty was of the table... I remember reading, 2 months ago that the prosecution won't seek the death sentence
They chose not to pursue the death penalty.
It’s really too bad the Death Penalty is off the table, a.m. is certainly a person deserving of that fate.
@Tracey Hall-Green ha yes!!!! Shark eyes!!!☠️
I'm so glad they finally gave Bubba the credit he deserves. Thank God for Bubba
Yes I thought that was an interesting comment I never thought of. Paul left proof from the grave but Bubba sealed the deal by making Alex call him so now his voice was there! Wow
Yep Bubba and Cash are hero dogs!!
Bless the dogs
An innocent person wouldn’t lie about being on the scene. Alex said the dogs didn’t bark because it wasn’t anyone there that they didn’t know there so if he wasn’t there how would he know if the dogs didn’t bark if he wasn’t there ? He told on himself I don’t know how they missed that🤦🏽♀️plus he slipped up and said “Maggie asked me to leave”
Columbo!! 😅 "He killed them, he thought he had a timeline, but they got him" 👍 Paul's own video may seal father's fate ⚖️ Poetic Justice! 🙏
Yes. Don't let Paul down. He left the evidence.
Paul died because he killed a local girl and we won't forget that. We know what happened in this town.
@@nielgregory108 Bollocks !!!!!
Yep...he's speaking from grave!
@@silversurf6159 Mallory Beach is dead. Paul was driving the boat.
@@nielgregory108 Paul died because he was murdered by his father as was his mother and the jury found him guilty.
This guy is persuasive. The defense attorney blew it!
He lied about being down there. He wanted to save his disgusting skin.
This lawyer did a great job. Summed up the case perfectly.
You must be a fan of televangelist's.
@@nielgregory108 🤣🤣
@@nielgregory108 the jury found him guilty 😁
When he imitated Alex voice that was great , shouting 'Bubba Bubba'
I hope Bubba is living in a nice cozy HOME now and not some depressing kennel.
He's with Blanca, the housekeeper.
Same here. I wonder what happened to the other dogs?
All you have to do as a juror is Chris Watts seemed to just love his family but he annihilated all of them. Who would have thought
Exactly! Narcissists pretend to adore you then slit your throat.
They both have the same narcissistic IQ.
AM said on the stand "I would never 'intentionally' hurt...." yes he sure did! Every time he bought and took drugs "intentionally" hurt them. Yes he did, every time he lied and stole money "he intentionally hurt them"....yes, he did intentionally hurt them with all of his lies, his deceit and his manipulation...it intentionally hurt them.
Yes, you are right. And then he murdered them. Found guilty.
There is no reason for him lying unless he did something really really bad.
He did something really really bad, he murdered Maggie and Paul
Yep. That’s the bottom line reality
Lying about not being at the kennels was the nail in his coffin IMO .
Buster got a lesson, today, from Mr. Meadors that he's never received from his own father regarding our power of choice and accountability for our bad, in some cases, horrible choices. He's never heard about humbling one's self and taking ownership of the wrong one has done, and that is a shame!
I doubt Buster even listens to truths, he wasn’t raised to learn morals.
@@susanbengston3208 who are you to speak?
@@talonhawkson5565 who are you?
Where was Buster at the time of the shooting?
Buster has been raised to be the same. None of that will sink in at all.
I hope the jury have the courage to vote the guilty verdict. They don't want to be pushed down the stairs after Alex is convicted.
...or be found 'in the road' with a head injury .......
Many jury vote guilty because they are afraid of represareis
Wow, Alec looks like he’s going to implode…
I feel bad for the family of Mallory, the poor girl who was killed by the son in the boating crash, her family will never get true justice and restitution
They got some revenge. The got him and his mom. Make no mistake, these killing for that. This trial is smoke and mirrors. We locals KNOW.
And the son's of the housekeeper who died on his property - Murdaugh literally filed a life insurance claim on her and stole the money for himself.
That poor housekeeper and her sons needed that money her sons were pitiful on the stand her son deserves that money you never even thought about that
@@nielgregory108 you think it was the vigilantes?
This truly beautiful girl (she was beautiful inside & out) will NEVER walk the earth again; will not marry, will not have kids, will not embrace her parents and (watching the docu over the boat-accident) the son of his father: he smiled ... and one person at the scene said: "Don't you know who this is ? ... this is Paul, Alex Murdaugh's son" ... and paupau knew that nothing will happen to him.
If I was accused of murdering my spouse and my child and I was innocent, my demeanor would be one of outrage. I'd be thrown out of the courtroom! I just couldn't sit through the false narrative that is created. Go figure.
Yeah I would be going freaking crazy, I could not sit still
It is almost impossible for people who are not narcissistic to understand someone who is. But there are two cases in the west right now of people who murdered their children. People kill their spouses all the time for reasons they justify in their mind. If people were out for revenge, they would have taken Alex out too and Buster out for supplying the ID to Paul that allowed him to continue to drink and drive that boat that killed that poor girl. Alex had the most to gain.
100%
Facts….
Right-there is no “logic” or reason for them. The minds of addicts and narcissists process the world differently.
Linda
That is the BEST Comment I have heard so far. You have more critical thinking skills than Alex lawyers. Thanks 👍
👏
Well done on Rebuttal! Great work State of South Carolina!!
John Meadors Is INCREDIBLE!🏆! He IS a real life COLOMBO!!
That was a BRILLIANT reference! Everyone including the jury, admires and can relate to Colombo's method of logically and methodically connecting the dots and now they can do the same.
He sounds like a southern Baptist preacher!😂
@@lmartinez8620 he got the job down and the jury found AM guilty… 😁
@@peonypink9149 southern Baptist preachers are very convincing!🤣 I’m glad there was a resolution and it’s not being dragged out any longer. I wonder how Maggie’s family feels about the verdict.
There is NO OTHER plausible hint of an alternative killer.
I bet Buster is hoping Alex goes to prison. Otherwise he might be next on his list
Alex asked Buster to go hunting at mosel with him after the murders, he declined. Says it all
Buster is counting the money, since daddy is going to state prison, and not federal.
Buster may have to watch himself soon with the Stephen Smith case reopened due to concerns about Murdaugh influence….
Innocent people don’t lie. He had so many times to tell the truth. Everything thing that is said after a lie is a lie.
He is so arrogant. He thought he would NEVER be charged with what he did.
@@minomokwa744 absolutely right.
@@peonypink9149 Telling the truth is easy because one doesn't have to remember anything else.
Mr. Meadors hit it out of the ballpark! Great job sir! Thanks to the jury BRAVO!!!
I felt like everyone in that room wanted to stand up and applaud! I know I did!
Yes thank GOD for bubba!
One of the best closing rebuttals I’ve ever heard. Well rehearsed and coherent. Strictly to the point. The delivery is what makes this compelling.
Funny how the dogs were nice and quiet when the murders happened, surrounded by people they knew……
So true. Bubba would have met them in the woods when he went after the chicken if they had been there. Alex said no one was there.
Dogs are smart. They know when a situation is dangerous. They might even have hidden in their dog-houses in the kennel to not get hurt /shot
@@minomokwa744 I never thought of that wow. Such sad situation even for them dogs they must have been scared also
you do not need a motive when the suspect was at the scene of the crime and say he wasnt and the guns and bullets come from his place
Thank god you are not a lawyer or judge because you couldn't be MORE WRONG!!! lol
Kirt Williams: Exactly!
@@nielgregory108 actually you are wrong. The prosecution doesn’t have to prove motive at all. It’s better if they do but they don’t have too. And the prosecution made their case and the jury found him guilty…..
If he wanted to end someone’s life- he should have chosen his own and then his life insurance could have covered all his wrongdoings and two good people would still be alive. He thought of this after murdering his wife and son and still couldn’t do it 🤦♀️ this guy is a piece of work alright.
They were absolutely not good people. All of them are murderers.
That's not how life insurance works
@Jwestside that’s not true there is life insurance that allows you to Jill yourself it just can’t be within a certain amount of time and it’s higher cost.
@Jwestside also there are ways to look like an accident which will get you double, like a drug overdose.
He couldn’t have covered his liabilities ,wrong doings by killing his family ,it’s an insult to the injury and had added fuels to the fire ,a double jeopardy !
I"m surprised the Death Penaty was removed from this case as gruesom as this crime was.
Prosecution took it off the table in order to get a guilty charge. It is easier for a jury to find guilt w/ circumstantial evidences if there is no death penalty charge. Casey Anthony may have been easier for the jury to find guilty if they had removed the death penalty for example.
Because he knows people
Trying it a death penalty case changes the nature of the prosecution. They want the murder conviction.
@@nikkivamosh9336 sounds rigged
Such a shame !
This persecutor is golden. He did a beautiful job summing up this case and Alex's guilt.
DEAR JURY, NEEDLE PLEASE
You realize that jury members were crying WITH Alex and that jury member FELL ASLEEP during prosecution closing arguments?? You know that right??? They will NEVER convict.
They have the chair in SC
@@nielgregory108 HAAHAHAHHAAHHAAH saaay that again ?!
@@madamebovarycro Ok then get the butter ready
@@nielgregory108 I guess NOT
I loved this rebuttal!! PREACH
If he's truly not guilty he had bad, bad karma.
Being accused of theft by his firm the same day his family gets killed, the murder weapons being the same as what Murdaughs' owned, owning a weapon that shoots 300 blackout which is not a real common caliber, going to visit at the kennels and being recorded, leaving his phone at the house when he goes to the kennel, leaving at or near the same time as the murders, speeding up driving past where Maggies phone was found, being seen with the blue raincoat with gun residue inside it, telling the housekeeper the wrong times, offering to help pay for the housekeepers wedding after his firm let him know they caught his thefts, forgetting to tell SLED about being at the kennel, in September his firm lets him know of the extent of what they have found and the next day he arranges a supposed hit on himself, claiming he had a $50,000 a week opioid addiction when those pills on the street are only $1
That's a lot of bad karma for an innocent man.
They have him at the murder site within minutes of the murders. If I were on the jury that, and all the circumstantial evidence would do it for me. Guilty as charged.
.
Why lie about the time of the murder….if you aren’t the murderer? 🤷♀️
Absolutely right.
If I was on the jury I would find him guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.
I wondered why Marvin was so obsessed with finding Maggies phone
I also wonder why he removed family weapons from the house…..
I think it’s karma that the son he killed provides the video that should surely convict him
Poetic justice.
Absolutely right….
Ye how well Paul done with this video
I suspect he killed his housekeeper. When he got away with it he thought he would get away with it again.
That’s an interesting idea- there have been questions raised over the odd recorded 911 calls after Gloria was lying on the ground with a head injury…
Agree. The "umbrella" insurance was bought a few months before this and the amount he got was a lot: $ 4 million !!
What happened to his housekeeper?
This prosecutor surely reached his fit bit steps goal with the way he paced back and forth.
😄😅🤣😂
Alex never did mention any discussions he had when he was at the kennels. I bet there was an argument. Alex was about to lose everything.
They were all going to lose everything. All their homes, their income, their possessions. Alex had to tell them that. He couldn't. He blew them away rather than admit to them what he'd done.
@@blitzmom2674 I agree with you fully. 👍❤
No tears now. He is listening intently. If your wife and child died you would be distraught all over again
If you genuinely cared…..
Blanca has Bubba!! Great news. ♥️
Why does law enforcement keep allowing Alec to leave the courtroom with his pen?
Lol 😂 too much silence of the lambs for you.... 😂.
I can’t imagine not believing he is guilty. An innocent person doesn’t have to lie about being on the scene. Alex told the truth when he said, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave.” Amen. Case closed.
Lol. I can.
How do you think he killed them in 4 minutes got rid of the guns and clothes plus showered off and got her phone ran over her leg all while being on the phone calling them and talking to his brother. Plus there would have been blood in the shower or on or around the hose and they have nothing. Also the jacket they said had gsr on it well it should have had blood as well nothing. The lady said he had a tarp not a coat and if he did it he's a lawyer he's smart enough not to put the coat in the closet for them to find. Come on use your brain they had no hard evidence on him. They did prove him to lie and steal but not kill. Also in the video Maggie sounds happy he would have already had to have the guns with him and you would think her tone would have been scared or off like they said it was normal. Plus they said he wanted to kill them to protect his life that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How would that make his life better bc it wouldn't bc they found pills many times before and he never killed them. Use your brain it's really common since
@@emilyheather328 go to the nearest wall and repeat your comment to said wall. You'll probably have better luck.
*to clarify, that is meant to indicate that the majority of people here seem to be convinced of his guilt because..."erm...did you hear how he said blah blah blah!"
No, but a smart person would know he’s the most likely suspect due to CIRCUMSTANCES. He’s not guilty, hung jury.
@@emilyheather328 whoa, whoa, whoa. We don’t want to hear about common sense and logic! HE’S GUILTY!! 😂

Outcome in the hands of the jury. I have never folllwed a case as closely as this case. Have not watched any of the movies made about it. I believe the truth came out in the trial & I hope justice is served.
Pam: No movies made, yet.
So this is happening kinda like real time… so like, no movie yet 😪

@@susanbengston3208 she may mean the documentaries
Guilty!!!
Great closing!
Great speech powerful
So great that ultimately it was Paul's video that sealed the case!!
I think that the District Attorney is doing a pretty good job at pointing out the strong points of this mess
Yes he did and the jury thought so too!
Sheriff in the gallery is staring a hole through AM! Wow! He knows he’s guilty
@Tracey Hall-Green He sure was...
And he needed too- guilty as charged…. Apparently he mouthed to Buster “I’m sorry. I love you”. That should scare Buster- we’ve seen what he does to people he ‘loves’…..
That's the Sheriff? Yow, you are right.
He would have won had he not taken the stand. Narcissism wins, every time
He didn’t bank on the kennel video and GM Onstar data- blew his story out the window.
This prosecutor is a blessing ! God bless him .
Well done Sir! Very effective rebuttal closing argument!
Best closing ever! Thank you BUBBA!!
Prosecutor very passionate and powerful.....because he knows he is speaking the truth.
This man is guilty as the day is long. Every evil deed is catching up with him.
Great opening and great closing...great job! Justice was served. Thank you jury and thank you law enforcement and the state !
A housekeeper, the young girl on the boat, also a young boy from Busters school in addition to Maggie and Paul that's 5 deaths associated with this family.
And the Stephen Smith case has been reopened due to concerns of Murdaugh influence. I hope Stephen’s mother receives a fair investigation that she feels more confident in- whatever the outcome. What she is living with is so cruel….
I hope they throw the book at him. Shame it’s not Florida he could have got the electric chair

@@zees358right..

Sir you put the nail in the coffin with this rebuttal argument! Thank you
Jim Griffin said if Alex was guilty and he had Thrown Maggie’s phone to hide evidence then why didn’t he just call her phone and answer her phone to create a better alibi with time. I think the phone was left on the golf cart when Maggie ran to Paul during the murder. Maybe Alex took the golf cart across the street to temporarily hide evidence and her phone slid off (no steps). When Alex realized he lost Maggie’s phone he kept calling it. Otherwise, why would Alex toss her phone knowing it would be found?
Buster has a perpetual grin. Its prob just his face but i hate when people have that. Its unsettling.
He knows
It is this 'shrink-wrap-dead-smile' of people that is making me scared. I knew someone like this & you never knew when this person was truly smiling or not.
I said the EXACT SAME THING!!
Probably thinks he’s getting away with something.
I hate it, too👍
Absolutely impeccable closing statement from the prosecution 👏👏👏👏👏
Devastating for Alex. He's done.
Check please!
Hung jury
Christina: Sure Hope So!!
I'd like to think he done😃
Alex sitting there trying not to look guilty...
I absolutely adore this prosecutor 💖
The deputy sitting directly behind Alex is wearing his feelings ALL OVER HIS FACE!!! 😂😂😂😂 I love it!!! He did it even more so during the sentencing!!! I don’t know him, but he’s my new best friend 😂😂😂
Everything points to Alex. Unless you believe 2 guys 5'2 showed up with no guns lol
Who the Midgelantes??
Considering that Maggie didn’t even live there & only showed up for like 5 hours & Paul had to be asked to be there that night by Alex. The vigilantes got really lucky.
Sarah: Great One!! 😂
Lol 😉😁😁😁
That little sniffle he does when he glances at the camera says it all and screams Guilty!!!!!!!!!!!
My grandmother used to say, " You never soar so high that you don't land "
That's a bad apple right there. Entitlement, narcissism and drugs. This is what that combo looks like. Frightening.
Paul was a lil detective. I hope he did the one last detective thing to get his dad for killing him and his mom.
You OBVIOUSLY didn't watch the trial. You do realize EVERY test that could have ruled Alex out, WAS NOT DONE ON PURPOSE!!! You realize that??? Any one of these 6 tests would ruled him out, yet SLED didn't do them. Who is the bad guy here??
@@nielgregory108 The bad guy? The ginger scumbag that killed his wife and son I believe.
@Niel Gregory. You seem to be very angry with the prosecutors. Its bs that you are from the area. I’ve watched every second of the trial. Alex is guilty as sin.
@@nielgregory108 you are now living in an angry fantasy land. The prosecution had plenty of evidence, the kennel video and data to work with. The evidence was presented, the jury found him guilty. It hasn’t gone the way you wanted so now you are off on some strange rant that makes no sense and it doesn’t show you in a good light. Just stop.
This prosecutor did a great job 👏
That dog bubba is haunting AM every night when he tries to sleep.
If there is a hung jury or innocent verdict, Alex still stands to most probably spend the rest of his life in prison for stealing clients and his law firm associates funds.!
If Hung Jury, State will turn right back around and Try him Again.
The jury found him Guilty on all counts. He would have tried for state prison for the financials and been out in 10years…. And a better quality of life in prison. He was much better off being done for the financials than the murders…..
Alex wouldn’t know what the truth was if it was spelled out in front of him!
Also, I hand know idea that Attorney Meadors came out of retirement to assist with this case for the prosecution. Kudos to him for a job well done!
Maybe no consolation for Mallory, Paul & Maggie, but if the Beach death had not happened, followed by Maggie & Paul's death, Alex would still be stealing millions and who knows what else, and other deaths were highly likely to come down the road as a result of Alex Murdaugh's lawless life and the example he set for his sons.
Don't forget Stephen Smith and Gloria Satterfield ...
Did they ever mention where the dogs are now? They looked like a pack of certified good boys.
One is at least with Blanca, the former domestic help and “friend” of Maggie. Reference was made at one point when she was on the stand.
Blanca, the former housekeeper, has Bubba, the blonde lab.
Once you lie to cover a lie it becomes a LIFE STYLE , a free choice to live this way because he was getting everything.
Then his reality shifted because he was getting caught and the only way out was to continue to tell a lie to cover a lie.
Which isn't working out well for him for sooner or later it was catching up with him.
💯
Csuse hes just not that smart..conning of an attorney is 2 thing he must know..planning dbl murder is another ballgame.
You're so correct about it being a lifestyle. It becomes their default, a safer place to be than the truth. I genuinely wonder if pathological liars have any awareness of their own lies. They must not, because they don't understand consequences.
Lying for Alex M is as natural as breathing
Mr. Meadors nailed it. What a brilliant rebuttal!
If he lied about not being at the kennels and was, there can't be any other reason to deny being there, meaning HE was there. Also I guess the clothes he had on that day are with the shotgun and the rifle that murdered them....where are the clothes, where are the guns. He has to at least know where his clothes are. Who among you have the clothes you had on yesterday dissappear today?
They are at his parents property. Somewhere in or out of the shed no doubt. Phone pinged him there
Dude… let me tell you 😂
It seems that Alex does not have his dagger look. He looks to me like he's been defeated!
With everything that goes into a criminal trial…what is the reasoning with just one person hanging a jury??
Because jurors have to be unanimous in order to convict after they’ve all heard the same evidence. There can be no doubt left in each juror’s mind. If one juror says not guilty then there was doubt. So they try again w a new jury.
I'm not watching Netflix doc about this. I heard what the jury heard and the courtroom antics by defense and Alex's death stare and empty smiles. Justice is SERVED, y'all!
If there’s anything to glean from the Netflix documentary, it’s all the information from Morgan and her family. She says plenty about Paul and her relationship with him and the Murdaughs.
