I feel the entire Murdaugh family has a dark and shady side to them. There is so many things that are off with the entire bloodline
It's called incest in low country
John Marvin has been through enough he was at the scene of the boat crash with the police ,he was also on the scene of the car crash ,the accident with the house keeper and had to clean up after the murder of Maggie and Paul . Then had to locate Maggie’s phone for the police How much more can this man endure
Why wasn't this brother afraid to go out to the kennels alone? Obviously, he didn't think there was a murderer on the loose--at least not one that he would need to avoid.
I agree I thought the same. This murder was a coverup I will always believe he murdered his wife and son. he’s a habitual, liar and faking his way through this trial.
Prosecutor should have brought that up
Exactly!! Why was Alex there before the murders, left but somehow came back to find them killed then stayed around for the police.. if some other person killed them and was out to kill the whole family wouldn't Alex be in hiding?? If your family was killed then why not be scared and hiding somewhere so the killer(s) can't find you.. Unless the only time he'll see the killer is when he's looking in the mirror...
Excellent point. Why didnt the prosecution ask him that.
Yes! Funny that isn’t it?
Alex's brother states: "Alex believes that the legacies of all families is important." If this is so, then why did Alex steal millions from other families? Obviously, Alex thought his family legacy was more important. He was stealing millions from those families so his wife could remodel the home in Edisto while many of those families he stole from could hardly afford to eat. The jury should have been made up of people from those families; however, they would need a bigger courtroom.
Great point!
He claims it was all spent on Oxy's !!😂🤣🤣
@@jamesbuttery3862 or he just had a really bad and expensive opiate addiction and needed extra funds so he could hide the drug use from Maggie.
It wasn’t his wife’s fault. Let’s not blame her. It was all his issues with money.
✔️
No family members should’ve been allowed through the crime scene. Such an orchestrator
I was pointing out the absurdity of that being allowed!
AM is the way he is because the family has always covered up for him, knowingly and unknowingly. It’s the family’s culture.
They are typical democrats and I can see why his attorney was the chair of the SC Democrat party.
Exactly!
Oh so how long do you know the Murdoch's?
0:54 - 1:03 Subtle proof this Man is an absolute Psycho…
@Dudeman516 The defense team you are mocking for being Democrats (like its a bad thing, dope) used to be prosecutors. If Creighton is a Trumper, we will lose the case. Alex is guilty.
His brother is completely delusional. He’s turning a blind eye to AM’s monstrous ways.
He is trying to create reasonable doubt for his brother.
Sometimes it's hard to face the truth.
they're probably in the drug trade and his son or wife found out and or his wife divorcing was going to lead to the secret getting out and they killed his family and threatened to kill buster if he snitched. thats why hes lying so much I dont think Alex killed his family but his business may have led to their deaths
When I first started researching this case and then listening to the trial every day, I was convinced that Alex Murdaugh killed his wife and son and then couldn’t bring himself to kill himself right afterwards. But then, the state’s case, especially the motive and the fact that there were two long-barrel weapons used, I started to have doubts. My mother, who was an assistant DA for 20 yrs and a criminal court judge for 10, agreed. The stare’s motive made absolutely no sense. Plus, why would Alex murder them? He got no insurance money. There was nothing to gain. Plus, everyone who testified who knew him testified that he loved his wife and sons. After hearing Alex testify and now his brother, I absolutely believe SLED rushed to judgment, esp after they realized he’d lied about being at the kennels. There were hundreds of people who had more motive to see Paul dead, and Maggie was just there.
@@Shaboomquisa Oh Lordy. So, which actual testimony leads to this conclusion. I've watched this trial and absolutely nothing has pointed to some drug cartel. And no testimony of a divorce was presented either.
Vile family from head to toe!! Hopefully justice will be served!!
Aristocrats!

Call me an armchair psychologist, but everything about AM’s demeanor screams guilty to me. That’s not the demeanor of an innocent man who lost his family.
Too poised?

Not to mention the personality changes. I have never seen someone's tears dry up quicker than this piece of work. All a big show to manipulate and play on the jury's emotions. After all of the lies and deception, this jury would be fools to let this corrupt man walk
Not one time has he said...the real killers are still out there we are wasting time!!! From the first time the cop got on the scene everything has been scripted. He is 100 % guilty

Are we supposed to believe a murderers brother who have enabled him his entire life?
Oop! lol
You don't need to believe anything. The jury decides that
I don't believe or like this family.
Murderer? He hasn't been convicted of anything?
Even the judge stated that there was enough evidence to convict him
Omg , I wish the state would hit these boys harder than they have . I want harder questions!!
I agree it’s boring.
I agree. Prosecution is terrible, they're missing so many important points. They'll lose, I'm afraid 😧
Murdaugh's owned that part of South Carolina from judges to law enforcement. Many in the community did not want to cross them in any way. So powerful they kill their own.
Would u say they are like mafia related then?
@@vanessamarie5333 Not sure......definitely some similarities.
No one thought he was on drugs. Hmmmmm.
They waited until August to interview his brother? SLED was owned by the Murdaugh family! Sloppy Job to protect this family. Again disgusting!! Ugh!!!
the irony of this is how a murdaugh killed 2 members of the murdaugh family so it makes them look even worse
@@draco2xx were you there?
I believe the prosecution should have pressed "the brother" regarding his knowledge or lack of AM's drug problem? ...and as to his stealing money from his law firm and clients for 20 years!
@@Kymcook73 must everyone witness everyone’s murder to know for sure who murdered them?
I get that too. I feel like SLED started to cover up initially then realized better and began to retract and do things the right way. Just too much to cover up. Interviewing people way late in the game. Give me a break!!
Still laughing & smiling at jurors
I find it very disturbing 🥺
I don’t believe for one second he didn’t know his brother was addicted.
Blood is thicker than water! Agree
BIG family secrets almost never turn out to be a secret!
I don’t think Alex Murdaugh was an addict to the extreme he has been portraying himself.
They all lie for him.
NONE of us know the depth of his addiction. Alek used that so-called addiction to weasel out of the reason for lying. He is playing it up, but John Marvin did not do him any favors by saying he didn't suspect drug use.
HOW could the idiotic brother smile and laugh during his interrogation ??
These are horrible people that have gotten away with crimes that most people can't get away with.
They thought they were better than others.
If you hear the recorded phone calls from jail between Alex and Buster, Alex is trying to get Buster back into law school and Alex is SO SURE he is getting out soon. So sure of it. He says, "Buster, Ive got so many things to tell you when I get out of here."
The bigger the fish, the harder it struggles when caught.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall...
This brother was not relatable at all. He is so out of touch with the average person. He doesn’t even realize it.
Why was John Marvin at Moselle picking up guns and a tote after SLED came? Why was he cleaning up a crime scene? Why was he even AT the crime scene?
His testimony just makes him and his family look even worse than before
And removing evidence
We should refer to him as 'The Cleaner".
And why is he having a grand old time while testifying? Smiling and laughing around...
He allegedly loved Paul so very much, but then cleaned his remains and flushed it down the drain like everyday dirt, instead of contacting the authorities?! While an alleged murderer was still on the loose?! Was he not afraid of being attacked there?
Something is very wrong here.
And the only reason he admitted to that is because there is drone footage of them doing it!
he was at Moselle because he is a very close relative. The police opened the scene the next day, they were done. I find that shoddy police work, but the family was free to use the premises and all things on it as they wanted to.
The space where the body of Maggie had been, was relatively clean, grass. The body of Paul had also been taken, but there was still some brain (or other tissue), blood, parts of skull (not sure about that).
He asked if he could clean that up, and got the O.K. police was done with securing evidence.
John cleaned up these remains because police had NOT done that (I read that they have resources for that). When they take the body for the autopsie they are supposed to take those small parts with them or remove them.
Cleaning that away was his way to honor his nephew. After a while his brother Randy came and told him to stop it - he did not think it was good for him. (likely others watched John and it upset them that HE had to take care of that).
After that police could be bothered to finish the job that John-Marvin had started. Maybe they did so voluntarily, but I think not, they were supposed to carry out that service and didn't.
The sad part is for the brother, aside from Alec wife....he is there defending his brother but not his own nephew. I think that is the saddest part to this. The nephew.
Yeah a kid who is your nephew and no longer gets to have a life because your brother murdered him but he's defending his brother.. I mean Paul was a spoiled brat who got away with a lot but being murdered shouldn't happen to him.. pretty sickening I would say.
The nephew that caused the death of that poor girl and then tried to frame his friend for the crime
@@jamesabbott8621 you are right and he should've been in jail and took full responsibility... but got his daddy and granddaddy to try and fix it..
You are right. I forget this part. He did cause someones death@@jamesabbott8621
He’s under tremendous pressure from the defense counsel team to keep to the script. Otherwise he would become an outcast forever
Oh my gosh I’ve only seen the first seven minutes of this and I don’t think I can even stand watch it. That whole family is so full of themselves!!!
They are full of themselves, but humble about it if you ask them.
Aus diesem Grund habe ich nach einer Minute aufgehört zu schauen
@@techone8568 The worst of the South.
His own brother didn't know or suspect he was in addiction because Alex is not an addict! It infuriates me how he's exploiting everyone suffering from or recovering from addiction!
If was taking as many pills as he claimed, it would have been quite easy for law enforcement to track his sources and determine his actual usage. He was not addicted to pills. This is just the alibi for everything in his life
I totally agree
Well said It is outrageous He laying ground work for a appeal And it’s bull crap.
Lots of lying and deception!! My word!!
Thanks lie detector.
it is, john murdaugh knew paul had to go or that lawsuit will sink alex murdaugh networth to the ground
It is the democrat way. His attorney was the chair of the SC democrat party.
@@dudeman5166 alex the killer is a republican
@@dudeman5166 The only flaw is the Murdaughs are Repugnicans and have always supported repugnicans, Repugnican. So, the alleged family annihilater is a Repugnican.
Alex has come to the end of his road. No matter what happens in the trial, his life will be completely change. All of his misdeeds have come to light. If he didn’t commit the murders, he knows what happened the night the murders happened.
Oh my gawd so true
@@FemaleDallasTexas He will do years just on the financial crimes. He already admitted guilt on the record. He will die in prison just on the financial crimes alone. His life is over no matter the outcome of this trial.
Yup he is suffering a lifelong democrat fate. You will always get outed eventually. Time to disbar his lawyer who was chair of the SC democrat party.
He'll be like a celebrity without the money. Unless he finds a way to profit from all this.
@@dudeman5166 excuse me. What?
In the police body cam, At 0:09 Alex turns and walks away from the prime spot to have shot Paul. He would have been standing there reliving the moment. As a fire bug, would have watched the flames burn. Its really terrorfying how the police officer does not order him to the ground to cuff him, as Alex literally has a smoking gun there leaning against the car, and keeps walking over to it. Had he been arrested like the rest of us would have, Alex would not have been free to use his phone to call in his FIRM to walk all over the crime scene and the second crime scene, the house. He knew exactly what to do.
he did not call them. One got informed, they all called each other and all came. They rallied to his side, it was not even a questiont that they would come. (not helpful for the crime scene, but very loyal).
The Bible says we all reap what
we sow. Also whatever is done in the dark will be brought to light.
We will see.
It says a lot of other nonsense too. Unfortunately, people who’ve been allowed to lie, steal, murder and the like very often get away with it. I truly do believe that the punishment should fit the crime, but it rarely happens. Some people just know how to play the system and others have the money to buy their way out of trouble. It’s sad.
Doubt Alex will ever come to the light side however I agree with your sentiment.
It’s common sense; not the bible
Also god: allows evil
I can't even believe this man did this to his own family. I have no words.
Oh, he did it all right. Maggie was divorcing him because he swindled people he called friends in his Law firm for over 8 million dollars & his drug addiction to Oxycontin. Paul was going to Prison for the death of Mallory Beach & her family was suing him in a Civil case. He lied about were he was the night Maggie & Paul were murdered he was there. Seriously it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure this creep out. I hope he gets life without Parole as he controlled South Carolina because he was a Murdaugh.
@@gemmamcenerney3549 I didn't mean I doubt his guilt. I am in awe of his actions and the sheer disregard of life he has for his family, and friends. It is pure evil.
I pray justice will be served and the victims of his evil web may Rest In Peace 🙏
what motive?
I don't believe he did do this to his family. Being a thief and a liar does not make you a murderer. Many men lie and cheat on their wives but they would never kill them. You can't just decide that someone murdered someone, based on the fact that you don't like the person they are.
I don’t believe he did do it, at least the prosecution hasn’t proven it yet.
Is this the brother caught on the drone camera with Buster taking 8 guns from the house after the murders?
Yes. He’s clean up.
Interesting listening to the brother! Like Alex he repeats any awkward question - playing for time - and is vague about things that I’d bet he knows about. He’s covering his brothers arse. What a horrible lot they are.
Where is he vague ? He does not remember certain things, and then admits it w/o being wordy. And a few times he corrected the prosecutor. What I said ... He is precise and thoughtful. He cannot have prepared for all of that, it shows that he knows what he knows with certainty, what he does not remember at all. and what he knows partially or there is some imprecision. Which he then admits.
Forced sterilization is a horrible thing, however we need to make an exception in the case of people who have listened to the trial and believe Alex Murdaugh didn't kill his family.
Original and funny! I’m in. 👍
There’s a difference between thinking he did it and thinking he will be convicted.
Let me guess; you also voted for Biden 😒
😂 yessss
@@beagleandme that’s not an insult. I can tell you’re brain dead.
Whole family was on cover up alert!
Right! Such a disgusting family.
Agree.
The boat case was placing the Murdaughs Trust Fund in jeopardy. Attorney Mark Tinsley said if Alex was really broke he plan to sue Maggie and the Murdaugh Family Trust. When Paul and Maggie died that night it was the end of the Mallory Beach/Boat case. "You can't prosecute a dead man"
It was so sad to watch John Marvin testify. He was so heartbroken over Paul
Practiced / rehearsed like a high school play. They are all entitled fakes. Watch the HBO Doc, this family has been getting away with murder and all else for decades.
yea to know his brother murdered his nephew and he's covering for him.. pretty sickening I would say..
@BL : using that crystal ball of yours again, I see.
😂😂😂
@@phyllisarrington7436 is this Alex or John Murdaugh's alt account?? If this isn't one of the Murdaughs then explain to me how you think he didn't do it or the fact Marvin isn't covering for him.. he had his friends walk all over the crime scene, he cleaned up the crime scene, he doesn't remember anything the prosecutors ask but when Alex's defense team ask a question he can go in full detail.. need more reasons why he's covering for him and Alex is lying because he did it...
Omg he dosent stop talking just like his brother 😳😳😳😳
They repeat questions and statements, talk in circles, etc. in order to confuse and garner sympathy from the jury. Total, evil strategy.
Lies lies lies.
Alex brother is turning red.
The two brothers are politicians.
At times, his voice sounds just like Alex's voice.
There shouldn’t be anything that this brother finds amusing.
It is disturbing!
Duper's Delight?
Good ole boy southern hospitality. Sure…,,,,fake
Both brothers should be investigated. Alex called them that night and they purposely tromped through the crime scene. Considering most friends there are Lawyers they knew not to contaminate the area.
Randolph is the more deceptive brother. This brother doesn’t seem to be in the corruption loop.
The whole family should be investigated. Their law firm should be tore upside down.
@@FemaleDallasTexas - Randolph was the Father. 🙄 This brother illegally took the boat away after the wreck.
@@FemaleDallasTexas this ones called ‘Slimbob.
Yes because the brothers also removed guns and evidence
It came across to me that John Marvin is more emotional about the deaths than Alex ever was. I believe that he thinks his brother is innocent , which i do not. It is like Happy Wanderer said; he is in complete denial of what a terrible person his brother is. For example he said that if someone at the law firm reported that Alex had said that his fathers condition had taken a turn for the worse then it was she who was lying rather than Alex. It has been proved time and time again that Alex lies with impunity, but despite all the revelations which have come out even in this trial they still seem loyal and to genuinely respect him.
I think it is more than likely that Alex was the murderer. His denial of his presence at the kennels being the biggest red flag. However I think the verdict will probably come back hung jury. Apparently some jury members were falling for his acting when he took to the stand and it only takes one jury member to cause a hung jury .
Alex has been a successful manipulator virtually all his life even to the extent of having his family members under his spell. A jury who have not encountered sociopaths and who are not familiar with their modus operandi, along with weak physical proof may lead unfortunately to him getting away with it . Fingers crossed however that the jury work it out.
In that case, there would be a trial again ??
Is this John Marvin they are interviewing? I thought he came across pretty genuine but looking thru the comments maybe I'm wrong?
For sure
So true !!!!
Well stated ...and excellent points!
Is this the same brother who took the Vegas vacation? Or the one he called to start selling things off before it was all seized to hopefully pay off his Marks? They are all creepy gargoyles in that family, not a heart to be found among the lot of them. But you have to hand it to them, they paid attention to their acting coach.
Yep. He was in Vegas with Bus. 😄
They're slimy, all of them.
He doesn’t recall. Sounds like his brother
he appears to be the family fixer...the weak and easily manipulated one
a clear and short answer. I believe him.
What a difference in testimony: this man is answering honestly and truthfully. No long pauses or repeating questions. Why couldn’t Alex answer questions like this if he wasn’t hiding anything about the murders.
All rehearsed, even the words and inflection he uses.
Behavioral analysts will tell you when people repeat questions, it’s the brains way to buy time to come up with a lie.That’s why Alex repeated almost every question from prosecutors.
Ones fighting for his life and the other has nothing to lose that might explain the difference as well.
Say what you want... But there is no blood evidence of him committing the crime. And we don't send people to prison based on how they answer a question. A CONVICTION has to be based on evidence. So far - they really dont have any. And his brother, has close personal friendships with the police dept. The same dept that has been protecting the Murdaugh's all over SC. How could he fool you so easily, and in such a short period of time??? Come on... you know how the Good Old Boy system works.
@@concerned1144 Alec, repeats EVEY question. Behavior Analysis is based on a persons baseline patterns. If he repeats EVERY QUESTION, then that is his baseline pattern of behavior. And therefore, is NOT unusual. And if you are going to watch and judge his body movements. You must admit that his reaction to hearing the bloody details, clearly impacted him emotionally. Mass Murderers - dont have emotional reactions. They are Psychopaths and not capable of that kind of emotion. Dont Cheery Pick. Be fair.
The “ I don’t recall “ with these Murdaugh brothers is obvious. How convenient!
Do these people think that they sound believable??
Mr. Murdoch, you know if Alex gets off you are going to be putting him where he is capable of unliving Buster also. That Will Be Blood On Your Hands Mister Murdoch
They’re all more concerned about the family name than the murders
how many other small towns are controlled by influential families?
All of ‘em….
He can't remember the month & day when he first was shown the video with AM's voice at the kennel? I don't believe it for a moment. It was so devastating and showed the brother to be such an incredible liar, I don't see how anyone could not have recalled it and in fact how did he did not call him and say "WTF were you doing at the kennel and tell everyone you weren't?" So the brother helped cover up
I believe he didn't remember the month and day when he was first shown the video. It was a long time ago. If anybody asked me to tell them exactly what I did a month ago and what time I did it, I doubt I could.
@@jennybrandt5188 while I also could not tell you exactly what I did a month ago, when it comes to something as big as this, you remember things pretty clearly. This isn’t an everyday occasion. When my father passed, I can recall every moment from the day he was in a coma, to the day he passed .
@@jennybrandt5188 of corse he should remember every detail of such a tragedy happening how ever many yrs go by..
@Jenny Brandt these people are lawyers. They pay attention to little details
He believed and still believes his brother is innocent. HE was then not able to recognize how devastating the video was and that it meant that his brother had indeed killed his son (the nephew John-Marvin clearly loved) and his wife. For him it was not "the sky opened and lightning struck me" moment - So he did not remember the time of being shown the video, because it did not seem to be highly relevant. As in: changed the course of the investigation and he has to change his opinion about his brother.
A fond memory, then his nephew was still alive and he and Maggie did what they loved.
I do not know if the celltower data and car GPS data was analyzed by that time - I hope so. I very much doubt police shared their insights with their main suspect or the relatives that love him. Cell tower data also confirms what the kennel video shows, and gives extra insight into the timeline.
I do hope they did not tell them what celltower data, car data, and the step-counting app showed. What that meant for the timeline that evening. IF Alex M. told the truth his statements would align with the evidence. If his statements continued to contradict the evidence, that was an important piece of information by itself.
The kennel video is better for prosecution, it is more tangible and it gives extra information (dog with chicken, the floor is a little wet, Paul stood with the back to his father he may not have realized that Paul (still) recorded). As opposed to showing the jury the timeline only with the celltower, track-the-step app and car GPS data.
I wonder if John-Marwin realized that the owner of the dog Cash waited for the better video of the dog. And what that meant regarding time of attack. WE saw the testimony and can fit it into the timeline and the theory.
Paul tried this and that, dog lover Maggie was there, they would not have left the friend wating, and they wanted this solved.
Paul did not get around to finish and upload a better video (showing the tail of the dog) because he was killed before. Likely starting at 8.49 or 8.50 pm
Police had not told John-Marvin that this was the meaning of the video, so he was spared the realization and shock that his brother is a killer.
WE have the advantage of having an aggregated timeline, it gives a good idea, pieces of the puzzle fell into place. We can rewatch parts of the trial or videos.
John-Marvin was shown the kennel video, maybe he realized that it was recorded at 8.44 pm, maybe not. He likely was NOT told that by 8.49 the phones went "inactive" and why that was so important information.
He may not even have connected the dots that his brother never told him that he went to the kennel area before visiting his mother. O.K. it was the last time he saw family alive, but John-Marvin would not go there and talk with Alex about "when did you see them for the last time" for fear of upsetting his brother. Maybe police informed John-Marvin this video showed events his brother had not talked about so far - maybe not.
He was clearly not part of the killing or planning. He is innocent and loved the deceased, he is certain that the same is true for his brother. He did not have the benefit of watching (and rewatching) parts of the trial and commentary.
Likely this video to him meant a memory that likely made him smile / tear up. The moment when it was revealed to him was not so important. (he also smiled when he remembered hunting with Paul.).
What did you do when you learned about the twin towers being hit ... this video was not in that category for him.
With the benefit of hindsight, it had that importance for his family.
Oh he was at the Crime Scene until 4am. He got there soon after he got the call.
Gotta protect the brand!
Since August 12 of 2022 he has never discussed this glaring. Glaring lie.
Alex will get his wish - his family will be remembered but the legacy will be shame….
The prosecution looks unprepared...a lot of stumbling in asking the questions
Very unprepared, plus lucks ideas and logic. Terrible job 😦

These two State lawyers were embarrassing today. It was very sad to see them cross the uncle.
The uncle got agro and nasty
Because he's in on it
Why get angry
He removed evidence
Hopefully karma will catch up with this angry redneked creep
What's embarrassing is John Marvin Murdaugh acting delusional and putting on a show for the jury hoping to sway jurors. Cross questions were a joke because the whole thing was a joke. BTW, the Murdaugh boys cry a lot with no tears. I do feel for John Marvin cleaning up. Shame on whoever was responsible for that.
@@suzanneharper2881 he cleaned up before he was meant to
He doesn't tell the truth either
Yeah, the last guy blew it.
Exactly, they did not go hard enough at him. Way too soft!
Did you all catch when John Marvin said "........well if that's the case...the person who did it must be in jail..." .....he involuntarily told the truth but I don't think anyone in there caught it and right after John Marvin said it and realized what he said his face was red, head down and kinda looked around a little like " did I really just say that ?"
So, the Police Chief had ‘borrowed’ money from Alex over the past couple of years?? Did he ever pay it back, or was he in AM’s pocket? Far too many connections between police and Murdaugh family.
This family is lying through their teeth, he states that his brother AM thinks like him that all families are important, yet AM stole from alot of families that were in need and facing troubling times...🙄
There’s a familial smugness
Why does Alex look so stern at his brother. John only one with real emotions
He has also been looking at the jury like that from day one. Intimidation and seeing which one he thinks he can further manipulate
So they never even looked for anyone else from the very beginning
to see alex’s brothers genuine grief when speaking about paul further shows how fake alex’s testimony was. his lip smacking was disgusting !!
Still, he washed his so-much-loved-nephew's human remains down in the drain like everyday dirt... I don't get it. Why did he not contact the authority? He (allegedly) contacted them for a permission to go to the crime scene but doesn't contact them to clean up human remains???
Something is very, very wrong here...
@Vera Bolton what was he supposed to do? Scoop it all up, put in a bag under his pillow? What do you think happens at every crime scene?
@@buschlight620 Read my comment again.
"Why did he not contact the authority?"
His actions make no sense to me and I don't buy his tears
@Vera Bolton omg!!! The crime scene was RELEASED!!! Get a clue! What's wrong here is you are lacking in common sense. Cops do not wash up crime scenes unless it's on a highway or public areas.
Your brother is guilty!
He went in to gun room to make sure Alex seemed clean
He just doesn't get it.He's trying too protect a murderer.I wonder why?
And he smiles when avoiding answers.VERY VERY Odd.
Is he deliberately avoiding the question?
This brother, another lawyer, is a chip off the family block.
John Marvin is not a lawyer…but he is delusional.
He's the only brother that isn't an attorney. He has some type of business.
The APPLES do not fall far from the tree. This WHOLE FAMILY is a bunch of rotten apples
He is not an attorney.
He is NOT a lawyer!!!
this state cross is painful 😣
AM is democrat donor and his lawyer was the chair of the democrat party. Just wanna throw that out there.
Oh that explains everything he's a delusional Democrat who lacks morals and convictions
Oh my. Another Trumper.
@@KohalaLover The prosecutor is a Trumper 💪🏻
Well, have your boy come out swinging then! Creighton went from on fire to a dud. Same with the younger prosecutor today.
Someone besides Alex knows where those guns are!
Buster, John Randolph and his lawyers kow
Show the video of the coat in the interviews guys haha COME ON haha 😄 show the jury that buster and JM are liars too
There is a yes or no question and he talks on and on and on. Should not be allowed. Too much going on here. Run this court room correctly. This is a jury trial.
I think all families are important...said no murdaugh ever
Why were Alex’s witnesses not sequestered like The Prosecution witnesses were sequestered.
They don’t sequester witnesses. Jurors are sometimes sequestered. Something, one of the parties, or both will ask that certain witnesses be excluded from the courtroom so as not to hear other witnesses’ testimony before they testify. It appears the parties did not make this request of the judge here. If a party request this, the judge usually will agree, especially if both parties want that to happen for all witnesses.
Likely because it is being broadcast on National TV and the internet/ They would not be able to really make sure that witnesses don’t watch/ hear each others testimony. But now the jury is sequestered and likely in some hotel very bored without access to certain things. 🤷🏽♀️
@@ggcatbelladogantics2959 They actually do Sequester Witnesses. It is determined before the case starts and it is to keep the witnesses seperated to avoid contaminating testimony. I have 15 years of being a police officer and testifying.
@@deeesss Good thought but that is not a reason. Every witness should be sequestered and not allowed in the courtroom to avoid contaminating a witness testimony. I don't know what the rules are in SC but in most states its done and agreed on before the start of the trial.
@@leelucas-murphy3397 I’m a lawyer - it’s not just a thought. Rule of evidence 615 - exclusion of a witness. But I’m glad you have your preference!
This prosecutor is nervous or something.
Blames himself for being confused. 🤦♂️
Look at Alex and the way he nods,smiles and moves his fingers as he looks at his brother.!
Yeah, no dagger looks like he gives others.
Same when his son Buster was on the stand.
If I didnt know any better I would think Sled was bought and paid for by someone. Just by the sheer amount of mistakes they made from start to finish...not asking for the clothes he had on in vid by tree...letting a crime scene be overran by potential suspects...not searching the dads house...not checking all drains in all homes for blood or dna. Either sled was unqualified to be anywhere near this case or for some odd reason they intentionally turned their head to these things. Unbelievable
SLED did not even pat AM down that night, he had pockets full of pills.
They got him convicted by interviewing witnesses, figuring out what was missing, finding gun casings, identifying which guns were not there, etc. It could have backfired if they were hard on Alex right away. Dave Owen got a lot of video of him talking away. This family were playing everyone with their smoke screens, moving cars, etc. Finding Paul’s and Maggie’s DNA in their own house would have been explained away.
@@cindyeastbourn7642 pating him down would not be usual (they had no warrant). He was a person of interest, sure. But they were a) very deferential and b) some of the officers in the first 2 days were incredibly inept.
This guy has changed his tone and tempo of talking and mannerisms that he answers as Alex 😂
So he's the first in the house.Truck broke down and the sheriff that was getting money from Alex just happened to be next to him driving.He helped cover I believe.
Most definitely!
Very possible with this family, IMO
Not true. He said they were traveling together, he broke down and had to call the sheriff back to pick him up.
Just started watching but Why does his brother act like this is funny.
I'm sick to death he killed them... house keeper.
The prosecutor wondering around drives me nuts.
The prosecutor absolutely blew it here- John Marvin knows everything and the prosecutor failed to question JM’s sketchy car exchange (why did Paul need to be involved?) and why was he hanging out with the chief of police. Complete blown opportunity
Agree. That story is something else ... plus another way of reminding the jury of their reach.
Behind most wealthy ppl are crimes
I can understand why poor Alex cries on the stand. He's really going to be crying when the jury comes back 🤣
As my grandparents always told me that blood is thicker than water.
This attorney is awful!
feels like a weak cross examination to me
The whole truck swap BS - nothing more than to cast doubt on DNA, contamination, witnesses spotting the truck… lame and desperate
They did a he'll of a lot cover up if only they would have all got together n found the real killer oops my bad
They are in cahoots….sick….
Blood is thicker than water. Lips are sealed amongst this family including his sister
sometimes it seems as if state is helping defense
My thoughts exactly !!!!!
Or their afraid Money stolen or not, it TALKS
Like fixing a football or basketball game!! They give away points to the defense!
They were able to get Murdaugh to answer truthfully his money crimes because this jury will most likely be a hung jury. At least there will be another trial concerning his theft from clients.
I agree! Ridiculous.
Liar, liar, pants on fire…
I was not impressed with this witness...so many times he was going over the top "flirting with the jury"..so to speak..gave me slick car salesman vibes..he told Paul he would catch the killer...if only he knew he is eating with the Judas at his own table..sad
That little jr attorney questioning his brother is not good and his questions didn’t seem to help anything and was just a waste of time.
Let's try prosecutor number 5. What a clownshow this trial is.
This prosecution lawyer is so bad at his job asking him did he recall that conversation about his father being terminaly ill between alex and his secretary and him replying wel I think someone got that wrong? meaning the secretary got that wrong and the prosecution then replied but were you there??? Obviously he was not there but you are the one who just asked him the question, so why ask if you know he was not there? what a numpty, he was so bad he just wasted time as everything he asked was utterly useless🤔😆😂🤣
What is he smiling about?
