How sad to know this judge was silently mourning the death of his 40 yr old son who died suddenly January 3 from blood clots in the heart. Condolences to him and his family. ⚘️
And to be sitting here against a man who was accused and now convicted of killing his own son (whether by his actual hand or not). How sick he must have felt knowing this man killed his own son while the judge probably would do and give anything to save his.
NOW THAT is truly sad , . THE JUDGE IS NOW A MAGNIFICENT FATHER AS WELL , GOD BE WITH HIM IN ALL COMFORT , HE DEEERVES COMFORT , ,NOT SURE ABOUT THE FOLKS WHO MURDER , THOUGH , . SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SUNDAY SCHOOL , LEARNED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS , , NOT MANY FOLK KNOW THEM THESE DAYS , , TIME TO RETURN TO THE ANCIENT WISDOM , AND STAY WITHIN GODS BOUNDARIES , 🙏
Ohhh, wow. I did not know that. 😔
Wow 😢
Amen.
Can we acknowledge how professional and level headed this judge is?
Also cool?
Yes he was great
The fairest judge I've seen in trials that we've been able to watch
@@VROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM most aren't. They often be on power trips
Absolutely an excellent judge
I have so much respect for this Judge. ✊ Especially knowing this Judge recently lost his own Son, this must’ve been extremely difficult, to know AM took his own Son’s life away, in the most heinous way. 🥺
I hope the Judge can now take the time to grieve his Son, knowing the world has been watching, and we care for him. ❤️🩹
I didn’t know about the Judge’s son. So sad and obviously ironic. RIP 🙏🏼
@@IronSikh44 It is 🥺 It just show how he’s able to put his own grief aside to remain professional 🤍 His family must be incredibly proud.
So let's convict Alex over financially crimes and call him murderer
Maybe judge should have excused obvious to anyone who just watched the trial in the tank. Was he trying to put him away so none of his friends be exposed to financial trial which should have come first. Hey no dog in fight I just happen to watch trial only no Netflix or newspapers.
@@OneLove101. oh bs.
@@lynnhauenstein4136bizarre response to a post about the death of the son of the judge. Has nothing to do with AM’s multiple crimes.
Condolences to the Judge on the loss of his son.. You are so calm... You are the father that everybody should have... Thank you for presiding over a horrific crime against a mother and son... From Ireland 🇮🇪
Agree! Amazing judge. If there’s a movie, Morgan freeman should play him!
Holy crap! Never expected the verdict to come back that fast. That’s says it all right there. Jurors did it right.
I also did not expect a jury this quickly.
Agreed u can’t give the benefit of the doubt to a habitual liar who lied to their faces on the stand.
I very much expected it to go this way .
Or they were all bias about the family like the rest of the World
I guess it doesn't take long to convict someone when it's so obvious.
We still need Justice for the housekeeper and the kid who was murdered and left in the middle of the road.
An that paraplegic kid
One down, two to go.
Yes, they were innocent and were victims of the Murder family. And the people in the boat as well.
Get that ginger too I'm sure he just as evil in this situation a devil took out two devils
He is the one that created the ginger bread
Anyone notice he didn't even cry. He was defeated. He knew it. He's an attorney, the jury came back fast and he knew they had found him guilty and didn't believe his lies. Thank God.
Just imagine getting away with EVERYTHING under the sun for your ENTIRE life, and then you finally get punished at 58 years old.
Wow. And a lawyer in PRISON. Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time! (Baretta theme song)
@Joyce Duncan That was the last straw for him. I always heard that growing up too, do the crime do the time. Don't want to do the time, don't do the crime.
Look at that devil - disgusting
It's refreshing to see that the rich and powerful aren't above the law in this instance
He knows he’s guilty, no tears or disbelief for the verdict. He just can’t believe he’s finally being held accountable
Oh yeah, he's shocked that his house of cards has fallen and his reign of terror is over.
This man most probably killed before. Very cold
But he still was asking for another hearing..
Eric I was looking for at least a gulp. I didn't see one. SMH, he's a monster 👹
They don t cry only fake tears..
Murdaugh’s are no longer above the law! Justice has been served! Thank you Judge Newman for conducting a fair trial and for your professionalism. Hopefully Mallory, Gloria, Stephen and those affected by Alex’s financial crimes receive justice.
❤
No worry some one else will be in line
The trial went on for almost a month.. they already had their mind made up week 2.
@@xjww8623good
Now its Busters turn
Because of the amount of time it took to deliberate, Alex already knew the verdict was guilty before it was read aloud. Alex was shaking his head before the Jurors even walked to their seats.
I have been following this case for the past two years! Justice was served today!
Paul never knew that recording those two videos would point to the killer, his father. He helped win the case beyond the grave. As he only had a few minutes to live, he pushed record not knowing it would be the key piece of evidence that brought down his killer. Alex really didn’t anticipate that at all. He actually did appear genuine and sad and I thought the jury might be fooled by his tears but the entire defense falls apart and the tears mean absolutely nothing when you realize that he has the ability to cry and produce literal tears while telling a bold face lie like he did in the car interview. He knows how to look genuine while being completely disingenuous and I’m happy the jurors saw through the tears. I saw how Alex tried to manipulate the jury by calling Paul “Paw Paw” and other tactics but glad the jurors were smarter than that.
He was only sad because he’s on trial. He’s so used to his family sweeping stuff under the rug with the help of the police. But this time he went tooo far
When he did that, it was one more nail in his coffin. What a freaking phony. Disgusting!
The video was the evidence wasn’t it wow unbelievable
What video? I missed it
Is there a link to the video?
All the jury members needed was their common sense. I'm glad they saw what everyone else saw, this man was clearly guilty.
Amen!
I just betcha when we see jurors interviewed, they'll attribute their extremely swift verdict to his lies.
To all those who watched the whole trial and thought he was innocent; please stay away from sharp objects for your protection.
OH Lord, I hoped I was wrong! Alex was the last person on earth that Maggie saw! I worry for Buster!
@@rhwinner lmao😂
Condolences to the judge for the loss of his son. Appreciation too to him for his very grounded, very calm and exemplary service. Appreciation to the defence, prosecution, court staff for a seamless, professional trial. Thank you Law & Crime channel and You TUbe for making this available to the public. It is enormously valuable in educating us and allowing our participation in important processes like this.
how did his son die
@@kellykel4472 NO, I read it in another comment. I just checked on wikipedia and it just says that his son died in January. Found another article - his son was Brian De Quincy Newman and died of a blood clot in the heart. He was also a lawyer.
@@sophiatheisen565 His son, Brian De Quincy Newman died of a blood clot to the heart. He was also a lawyer.
My condolences goes out to that judge and this was a good trial💯
@@sophiatheisen565 blood clot to the heart
Lmao at the defense lawyer looking thru his book in confusion after the verdict 😅
I didn't see that 😆
😂😂😂
They came back with a guilty verdict quick. That basically means that they didn't believe crap the defense was saying.
I wanted to see Harpo 's face when they found out the verdict was in. You know he knew it was not good.
Neither did the defense believe the Crayola they were dishing out.
They just wanted one person to have doubts… I’m glad they saw through it all
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
Absolutely
Was so impressed by the judge. Such a classy, intelligent, professional gentleman. Great role model for many judges who could learn a thing or two from him.
He is a great judge. Hard to believe he lost his own son in January just weeks before this case started.
@@finleyandtensley That's awful! I've been watching from Ontario, Canada so I have no knowledge of the SC legal system. What happened to his son?
YES! The quiet and dignified way he commanded the courtroom; I kept telling a friend "All Judges could glean something from this man's example."
I bet he was/is a world class father & grandfather 🌿
@@kateadams1990 I have watched him preside over several cases including the mistaken Uber driver murder trial in SC of Samantha Josephson. Everything I have read about him, he is a great honest man. His daughter is a circuit judge also. From everything I read his son either suffered a heart attack or a blood clot/aneurysm, he was only 40 years old. I kept thinking during this trial how hard it would be for him to sit and listen to evidence about a man who allegedly murdered his own son while he just lost his own and would likely do anything to have him back.
The lack of emotion says it all
It must be like living a nightmare for the other son. Your brother and mom just got killed by your dad, now your dad is going to prison for life. You just lost your entire family in just a blink of an eye in time. Crazy feeling it must be.
Buster got on the stand and said the voice on the Snapchat video “wasn’t his father’s voice”. Gotta be in some deep denial to be able to lie like that
I agree. But something seems a bit off about him, emotion wise. Either he's extremely stoic for his age or he didn't really care about them, I don't know. Just have a weird feeling. I'm afraid he may be more concerned by their financial loss.
@@Juhani139I agree with this. Something is off about that kid
Buster is no innocent
I watched a documentary on the ID channel last night wherein a friend of the family said that Buster has always been an entitled a-hole! He was a very disrespectful kid, even to adults, and was using his family name at a young age to influence and have power over people.
This wouldn’t have happened without “little detective” Paul’s help. He helped solve his own murder.
❤
Paul puts his dad in jail from the grave
That nickname turned out to be quite ironic
Maggie would be proud 🥲
@@lindseywalker6925 literally!!!
I’m a South Carolinian and I’m going to be honest, I was on the edge of my seat and SHAKING while waiting on the verdict live. I knew he was guilty, but was worried about the possibility of a hung jury or even a not guilty verdict. It is satisfying to watch Alex finally facing the consequences of his horrible actions.
His living son Buster is responsible for the death of Stephen Smith. Apple is not far from tree. He's next for indictment.
I feel the same way. I thought the prosecution had a great case, and I personally felt he did it, but was also worried that 1 or 2 may tip it.
Meeee too
After OJ and Casey Anthony I was so nervous!! Thank goodness these jurors saw through the bs! Amen!!
Did he really do it? For sure? He murdered his wife and son and employee? I can’t wrap my head around it……… Horrific
Looks like he saw that coming a mile away and is already resigned to it.
Got my suspicions about the housekeeper's death too. After all he reaped thousands from her insurance policy.
Actually 4.3 million
When the prosecutor said “she’s running to her baby” in his closing, that statement has stayed with me. It gave me the chills.
It worked well, although simply a narrative, not evidence. Jury reached justice.
Heartbreaking!!!
I teared up😢
no dna no case. oh well, he was.convicted on feelings.
@@JohnBrown-vx3rx no dna?
When a human can steal money meant for a quadriplegic, murder is just another step in their demented evil process! His LIES and other numerous evil deeds have finally brought him to this day of being found GUILTY! Thank you to everyone involved in making sure Justice was served!!!
Narcissists can justify anything. I'm beginning to wonder if AM had something to do with the quadriplegic's odd death. His tube was unplugged for 30 minutes before anyone noticed 4 days after the settlement was reached and AM took his money.
Completely agree! He had no "F's" to give for anyone!
Exactly...he only cares about money 💰
An addict will steal anything from anyone....and what is worse...I do not believe he could have a $50 000 a week drugproblem and have no doctor even notice what that liver of his would have been. There's got to be something more secret he doesn't want to tell and even killed for. That is my opinion.
Sad thing is, two people lost their life. Can you imagine shooting your son's brain out of his head, it hitting and landing on his feet??? And going to court and stating 'not guilty'. There is a sort of depravity about that, a rightful person could never do! And to this day he hasn't said much on finding who did kill them. This for me is the real proof he did it! 🙋
@@meghanmarklie4366Exactly
Rest in peace Miss Maggie and Paul. Nobody deserves this betrayal! Nobody!
Even top notch lawyers cannot change a lie into the truth.
So sad that a father and husband would resort to murder to protect his own interest.
drugs, alcohol, and greed can mess you up.
hes no father nor husband.
Alex was in it for Alex. Everyone else was part of the show.
I truly believe that his thinking had been clouded for awhile due to his addiction. Think about it……..a big time lawyer from a big legal family who KNOWS how crimes, courtrooms and the entire legal process goes…….and this man just shoots his wife and son with the families own guns???? That’s not smart at all and I just think his addiction caused very foggy thinking in a narcissistic personality.
WHAT was the MOTIVE though????
I didn't see this coming I was looking at a hung jury, justice has prevailed and hats off to the jury.
I feared that the there would be a hung jury but thankfully justice prevailed.
Or at least until tomorrow! I was shocked it was fast.
I also thought a hung jury was possible, but when the verdict was arrived at this quickly, I am sure you knew, (as I did), that it was a guilty verdict.
Well then you didn’t listen to the facts of the case there was literally no one else there
hung jury? come on man.
This family days of getting away with murder are over.
Imagine how devastated Paul's little friend is to know that he was the last person Paul talked to. Imagine knowing he was so close to a liar, a thief, and murderer: he'll be leery of people in his own future, and question his own judgment of character.
Horribly sad all around. A family destroyed. I’m glad he wasn’t above the law like he seemed to think.
So many families, really. The damage and mayhem he created in his life, and his offspring did as well, is just astounding,
@@kbc1883 The amount of people impacted by this is hard to comprehend.
Bullshute. This is all a scam. Alex is innocent. An Asian lady killed his wife and son.
@@jasonw7497 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god. I completely mentally prepared myself for a hung jury or innocent because I didn't want to be let down. Thanks to all the jury for their service! Justice for Paul and Maggie!!! *EDIT:* Also, this judge has been great the entire trial.
Oh my God. G G G G G not g for God. How dare you diminish God.
BS!!! Alex is an innocent baby jurl!!!
@@judyr5011 god is a job description.
Just goes to show how compelling the circumstantial evidence is!! Alot of people wanted to vote him innocent. Just goes to show, it may be a different story if you are in the actual court room.😉🤥
I was a little surprised at how fast they came to a verdict. But at the end of the day, all of those lies came out and there's really no coming back from that
I believe Buster knows in his head his father did it, but his heart doesn’t want to know or believe it. He has a lot of therapy work to do to recover from this tragedy.
What a blow it must be for Alex to finally have the realization that his money and power and influence couldn't buy him out of this one. I truly believe he murdered his family and justice was served. Shout out to the jury for getting this one right.
So glad the judge denied a mistrial and appeal. He’s a beautiful human being. So serene whilst amidst such horror.
he cannot deny an appeal, but he can deny a mistrial.
"Superb Serenity" This Judge displayed in presiding over, This very emotional & horrendous trail! Such a sad,sad situation!
HE DID NOT deny any appeal -
The jury took no time to decide he is guilty. I believe his lies and the kennel video were the key element in the decision.
The time line once they found that video-you couldn’t argue with that.
@@PresleysMom504 I agree. The timeline and video couldn’t be disputed. That video was gold and I’m glad that Paul took it.
Completely agree. The defense did as much as any defense could do.
He probably would've at least gotten a Hung Jury if not maybe a Not Guilty had Paul never taken that snapchat video.
...and the missing clothes and shoes...it wasn't that hard! Thank you PAUL!
I'm a Hampton native, and went to school with Paul and Buster. While I'm glad that justice is being served for Maggie and Paul, I feel terrible for Buster. Regardless of who he is, he's lost his brother, mother, and now his father. I think he really wanted to believe that Alex was innocent, but he'll be forced to come to grips with the reality of it now. His life will never be the same, and I can't even what that amount of loss could feel like. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Heartless & soulless. Doesn't even look at son. What a horror show. Betting son involved heavily in his deeds too. 😢🙁
Justice has been served
Yessss
That was an incredible moment to see at the end: "and he may be taken away" . Justice is being served.
Nice to see and witness a calm courtroom during and after the verdict was read. They all knew without a doubt.
@Elle Belle Also the judge never mentioned Alex's name - just "You can take him away!"
Yes 🙌🏼
@@sarahcarter113 From now he won’t command any respect, he will learn to answer to Inmate or his DOC number 👋
@@OneLove101.
He’ll be answering to a whole other Bubba now
And during his testimony he called them "Paul " Ro Ro" and "Mags". He must have thought we were all idiots.
Wow Judge Newman such a devistating time for him yet still so professional
I gotta admit I didn’t see this verdict coming that quickly. But I’m so glad they did and they delivered the correct verdict! Thank you to Judge Newman and all the members of the jury for their work in delivering justice for Paul, Maggie, Mallory, and Gloria.
when I saw him on the stand I knew the jury would convict. terrible liar
Whenever a jury deliberates for only a very brief period of time, it's virtually always an indication that a guilty verdict is forthcoming.
Stephen , etc etc
May all Judges take this admirable Judge as a prime example of judicial excellence.
I believe someone mentioned that the judge will be retiring (in May?) What a way to close out his judicial career!!
He just lost his son in January, 40 years old, blood cloth, he is mourning his son, and needed to be on a trial like this one 😢
Yesss
Agree 100%. I’ve seen him sentence people before and he is very good.
Yes, you can see and hear that he is an honourable and sincere Man, we need more people like this everywhere.
He must’ve known that he was going to be found guilty because they came back so soon. I hope none of the jurors are harassed after this.
Condolences to the judge for the loss of his son.What a kind,professional,& fair man.Peace be with him.
This verdict gives me much-needed faith in our judicial system.
He is standing up there like a statue if he was truly innocent he wouldn’t be able to stand once they announced the guilty verdict
He has no feelings or he wouldn't haven't committed so many crimes
So true
If you have been to jail being there for 2 years it gives you plenty of time to process this verdict. His emotion .eans Nothing to me.
I disagree. I think he was in shoc k. Southerners strongly believe that you suck it up no matter what. I must have missed important parts of the trial because I am not convinced he did it.
I don’t understand how Buster cannot cry him and his dad they both seem so emotionless 😐
Birds of a feather
Sociopaths.
he’s crying in this. the most emotional you’ve seen buster in this whole six weeks.
I feel horrible for the son, his ENTIRE family has been wiped out by the actions of one. I think they were both trying to hold it together, but the realization that his father really could have done this is hitting heavy right now. This isn’t a victory verdict, the entire family has been destroyed. I’m sure if Buster is still not in denial, he imagines his father killing HIS MOTHER and brother at night when he tries to sleep. He wants to strangle his father, but he loves his father. What is a son to do? Just don’t say it’s a win, today was a win for anyone. I hope someday Buster may find peace.
Screw him, he was involved in another murder. I hope he suffers every day for the rest of his life
Amen. I feel bad for him. Most people watching this only care about the fact that he comes from money and have no empathy because of that reason. He still lost his family. All he really has left is his gf and his uncle.
At least based on what Netflix showed us-Maggie may’ve killed their housekeeper, Paul killed the girl on the boat, and Buster may’ve busted Stephen Smith’s head open with a baseball bat. So none of them were decent folk.
I'm not sorry for Buster one bit. He might be involved in this murder and the murder of Stephan Smith.
@@xcvbxcvb2179 so because it's an assumption must mean it's true? I mean come on the guy lost his mother and brother brutally by the hands of his father. Not saying he's completely innocent but in this case he is a victim. I think he deserves compassion.
This man was beyond a reasonable doubt, one of the most disgusting individuals I've ever seen in any court case. Justice has prevailed!!!
I just dont believe he did it. They did not prove he's a murder

Amen!
Hands up for the Judge! He did it right from the beginning by rejecting a bail and now denying the motion for a mistrial.
He ran out of people to buy and cops to silence.
He can’t even show any emotion now… if you were innocent you would be falling to the ground in tears… his reaction just solidifies (even further) his guilt.
No it doesn't.
Cuz he focused on what come NEXT
He can't afford to cry now

Wow! I seriously did not expect them to come to a verdict so fast. While I believed that narrow timeline to be the clincher of “beyond a reasonable doubt” to me, I didn’t expect the jury to get through all those charges and come to a unanimous conclusion so quickly. It’s good to know that justice can prevail, even amongst the (once) “high and mighty.”
🎉
How long was it? I left work at 5 😂
Really?! He lied about being at the scene of the crime then got caught begging his parents’ caretaker to say he was at their house for a lot longer than he was. He was obviously guilty.
I was late to the closing arguments, and by the time I finished them there was already a verdict! 😲
You know you dun fkd up your murder plan when the first time the jury is allowed to speak to each other about the case, they all almost instantly say "guilty"! 😄
If Buster isn't a horrid person like his father, I hope he is able to come to terms with everything now that he knows he's safe from AM for good!
I wish they were the OJ jury
My thoughts are with the Judge, his family, & all of those affected by this man's greed.
I wondered how this wealthy man could allow himself to become addicted to drugs but then watching him and also Buster I understood that wealth and family connections had created a soft protection of entitlement which without a moral center left him and his sons vulnerable to the worst we can become.
Very well said
He's not a drug addict. Any former dog addict watching knows Murdaugh's description of his supposed drug use was pure Hollywood. Much like Amber Heard's claims of violence and her claim that applying some ice could hide a broken nose or split lip. Nobody who's ever had a fist fight knows how BS that is.
The tide is turning against this entitled family. I hope this will just be the start of justice for all the people they've cheated and hurt.
They? Okay so you believe Maggie and Paul deserved this? I hate seeing how many people these days believe drug addiction, theft, alcoholism, mistakes deserve a punishment of life being ended. What a shame. Murder is the only thing I see unforgivable, everything else was a tragic mistake but not malice.
Arrogant intitled family lost everything including some of there's life's! Good ridence ! Rich pricks. Paul was no saint either and he paid for it with his life!
@@paidinfull5950 I never said they deserved it and I'm glad justice was served for both P and M. However, I can't escape the fact that both P and M were implicated in the murder of someone else. I'm not saying they deserved it, but it almost seems like "an eye for an eye" justice.
Alright, South Carolina, let's get him on all the other charges and then clean that corruption up
Drain the swamp? 🤣😂
Drain the swamps on the Mozelle property
Lol. I used to live in South Carolina. The government is a good ole boys club. Corruption is a way of life down there. I lived in a town where the sheriff was caught working with Mexican drug cartels, he only got 8 months in jail.
Am interested to watch sentencing as AM should be in his new prison togs !
Yesssss!! Thank you judge. That's how justice should be served.
It's about time that the rich are held accountable for their actions!!
“Some people are so poor all they have is money.” ~ Bob Marley
Next up, Hunter, Joe and Hillary!
He was broke when all was said and done
I want to cry. The tragedy of it all. When people are blessed with so much good fortune, so much good health, are surrounded by great loyal friends, stable career and you throw it all away and destroy everyone in your path. I literally want to cry over all the tragedy.
I don't know what to make of all of this and still in shock
Its sad .
I agree, their life was a dream, a living legacy.
Hard to believe one man could destroy so much.
Pure evil & greed. All over money.
When the jury comes back that quick with a verdict you know your screwed
The closing arguments by the prosecution was IMMENSE!! He delivered it so well and in such a smart and concise way, it was very clear to me watching this that there was only one verdict arriving.
I hope Buster and the other family and victims finds peace 🙏❤🙏
Pretty much as good of a circumstantial case as you can get. Good job jury.
I am actually shocked! I thought he was gonna get off but I’m so glad he didn’t! Justice served!
I did too but i was on the fence kind of.
Not in South Carolina!!! We don't play.
Shocker. 🙄 It's always the husband/partner. Killing strangers is actually quite rare statistically.
Just like me, the defendant, didn’t look even a bit surprised when the verdict was read.
Justice has been served. So glad they didn't believe a 5' 2 stranger just stumbled onto the property and did this. The defense was bordering on ridiculous.
Haha. Two “twelve year olds” who forgot to bring their own guns 🙄
"bordering"?!?! Did you now see Harpootlian point a rifle at the prosecution? He is nuts! Horrible strategy to hire those clowns.
@@R8RsYF Absolutely right! I had forgotten about that in all the chaos.
Thank you jurors!
Too bad they couldn’t punish his “entitled” son sitting in the court room too! They’re days of being untouchable are over!!
I hope Buster gets help to process the trauma and grief. I also hope he finds purposeful work in life apart from the law. There is more to his life than the burden of the family legacy. He needs to know that.
I said it was him from day 1 & I'm so glad this Judge treated this trial in such a profesional manner with fairness to both sides. The prosecutor's did a great job presenting this case & I'm glad this man was found guilty as he should have been. I hope his wife & son haunt him the rest of his sorry life. I pray all the victims of him & his family can find some peace & comfort in this verdict. May all those innocent victims & their families be blessed. May those victims that have passed away R.I.P.🙏🏻💙
Well said!
Of course you did 😂
If only the jury had heard you say 1 this all could have been avoided!
Wow. From day 1? You should be a lawyer.

The opinion of the crowd that likes to claim guilty heads.
Thank you Paul for that video.
RIP PAUL
RIP MAGGIE
Paul killed a young girl and got away with it. Paul and Buster are just as bad as Alex
What happens to his son buster? He was seen taking a few gun onto his Ute the day after the murders!
It's a tragedy all around for this family. A son has lost his mother, his brother and now his father. Justice was served but for Buster, life will forever be anchored in trauma and grief. To hear his father tell Maggie's sister that the person who killed Paul and Maggie had been thinking about it for a very long time, and to testify that they had hate in their heart for Paul - knowing that Alex is convicted , nearly seems now like parts of a confession. May Maggie and Paul Rest In Peace. Finally 📿🌟
Buster not exactly a choir boy.
@@ms.q7445 he doesn't have to be to deserve compassion. He lost his family.
@@cheryshstrong He killed someone else's family. Why are you defending him everywhere? Do you want him to pick you?
You really need to listen to Buster and Alec's jailhouse conversations. I dont recall any sympathy for Paul or Maggie....mostly Alec making sure he had canteen money. They are odd
@@Mana-br4ew u don’t know that. If it’s found he had something to do with Stephen Smiths murder may he go to trial until then innocent till proven guilty so it’s apt to have compassion for someone who just lost their immediate family in a tragic way.
Thank God for the judge removed that juror just in time.
Amen!!!!
I am so relieved that the jury came up with this verdict. Thank you to the jury and the prosecuting attorneys who did such a thorough job. It was a tough case and they made perfect sense of the entire thing. Justice is sweet.
makes no sense...how can a man, any man, shoot his son's brain out?!
@@zhoubaidinh403 Evil hubris.
I watched this entire trial, and there was NO EVIDENCE presented that this man murdered his wife and son. NONE AT ALL. This is a travesty, even for a bad man.
They have no hardcore evidence that he killed them. It's wrong to put someone in jail without evidence because if he's innocent they're taking away another person's life and I've had it happen to me all because of the way it looks from the outside but in my case I knew who did it because I was there and watched it I just didn't say anything so I went to jail for it. Also the jacket he had had gunpowder residue but no blood. The shower what you would have to clean off in or the water hose no blood. They said he was only there for four minutes you think he killed them in 4 minutes with two different guns and got rid of the guns and it's close and then drove to the house got on the phone calling them plus other people talking to them how could he have a showered doing that. You can't do all that in 4 minutes it's not possible use your common sense if you have any. Yes they did prove that he's a thief and a liar had lots of proof of that but that's all they had proof of. He's a lawyer he's smart he puts a jacket in the closet I'm sure if it were the same that they supposedly think he used shouldn't he have disposed of it as well. Plus Maggie and Paul found his pills many many times before. Why all of a sudden would he want to kill them now and ruin his life more. Plus psychopaths don't cry so obviously he loved them or he wouldn't have been up there crying. Try to fake cry see how impossible it is. He loved his family even though he had addiction problems he still took care of them you let her stay home he took them on trips. He did things with his boys he bought them everything he loved them. You don't just wake up one day and want to kill someone because they found your pills in which they done many times before
@@zhoubaidinh403 he didn't no it the have no evidence they didn't even look or do there job properly bc if he did it there and blood residue in the shower or on the hose or the ground around it and they found nothing
My heart goes out to you young man .
More emotion from buster than Alex!!! Alex Murderough! What a despicable evil thing to do to his own son and wife!
Thank you Paul for solving your own murder your mom must be so proud of you. May both R.I.P. now 🙏😢 JUSTICE IS SERVED. Great job to prosecutors, pathologist, witnesses, investigators and jurors . 👍
Love this comment!👌🏼
Judge Newman did a great job too!
Lil Detective for real
Sorry if I sound ignorant but can someone explain to me how Paul solved his own murder ? I was unable to watch large parts of the trial
@@demonkittytrap3945there was a Snapchat video.
Respect for the jury and the prosecution team.
Anyone who spent their own 28 days, and still hearing lies after lies, would be furious and made the guilty verdict. Crazy defendant wastes lots of people's life.
You can see the pain in his sons eye's. He lost his mom, brother and father.
This man and family had everything, and it wasn’t enough. A tragedy of “Shakespearean” proportions. The greed and lack of conscience destroyed them and many others. It had to be stopped.
Yes I saw Maggie asked the grieving mother that lost her daughter while AT THE RIVER - "what are you going to do if they never find her?" ... they were all so horrible
@@kimc.3104 Yes you are right, the whole Family is a bunch of entitled disgusting individuals
@ Kim C. - I really believe Maggie was hoping they never did find Mallory. It was a callous and horrible thing to say to a grieving mother.
we all have our own journeys to live out on this Earth even the bad/good/murderers...it's a part of the souls evolution. if you judge any ones experience one day you too will experience it. pretty sure that's in the Bible
@@alyssagillespie8333 what did Maggie say to the mother
I kept saying to myself that it’s going to be a hung jury. I was shocked at the outcome but still can’t help to feel sad about how many people how many lives were destroyed. It’s a sad case all around. One that I will never forget. Thank you judge and jury and state for all the hard work and time
I'm not shocked. The evidence was overwhelming. Even the judge said it.
I actually started getting emotional at GUILTY. the jury made me proud.
I feel the same. The state had some missed opportunities and I was worried of a hung jury as well.
Really
I'm not surprised it was a quick verdict & wasn't worried about a hung jury. Alex lied so much especially by saying he wasn't at the scene. That did it for me & probably for the jury.
Real justice would be if the surviving son does not receive the mothers life insurance. He showed zero care that she and his brother were slaughtered.
He never mentioned that he wants the „real“ Killer to be found! That is what showed me that he’s guilty!
