The Sister is a wonderful modest woman-her loss is so Overwhelming!
Nice comment.......
And she is beautiful and got an awesome smile 😎
Very gracious. She chose her often painful words so very carefully.
God bless her and the rest of Maggie’s family her parents too.
Other than defending Paul’s regarding the murder of that girl, I agree. Everyone involved will require intense healing
I have a sister. She is the Marian who balances her checkbook and I am the Maggi who wings it. I am so sorry for your loss. This is a nightmare.
Yes she is a lovely person for sure.
I have many sisters; one had Monday Tuesday Wed tags in the closet with complete outfits lined up/ she said as a kid she would have a boy & two girls and she did/ she even named them those names she told us back in the 60's/
She has a large lovely family I have one son and a messy car &check book ?there's a cheque book???
I like the way you coined that...my sisters & I are different in similar ways- I’m a wing it kind of gal & my other sister is ocd organized & the other 2 are somewhere in between- one introverted & the other an extroverted class clown.
I appreciated the love she had for her sister & my heart goes out to her. This whole case is tragedy upon tragedy. It’s awful & seems to never end 😢
Same 😭
???
Her pain is palpable, I can feel it through the screen. I hope Marian finds peace and healing.
I felt bad for Maggie’s mother.
@@cynthiacarter514 Hell, I even feel bad for the kenneled dogs. No one escaped the train wreck he caused.
Most unfortunate that they gave a "dunce" chair for witnesses 😳
@@mortalclown3812 I do too. Poor dogs were showing anxiousness. They watched helplessly as people they knew were being killed by another whom they knew. Yikes. I hope they are not tossed away by the other son. This immediate family seems truly "empty" emotionally.
Her poor sister and mom.
Me too! My heart broke for her, I want nothing more than to hug her and tell her this was in NO way her fault, she was an amazing person to offer what she had no reason to believe was anything but good advice! She knew that, Maggie knew that.. I am so very sorry for your hurt, and I can't imagine the pain her mother is feeling. God hold each of you close!! You're in our prayers!
Poor, poor sister. The actions of one impacts so many other lives. 😢
He really thought her family would help him with an alibi. But you take an oath to tell the truth and that’s what she is doing!❤
He really thought he could continue to hoodwink everyone around him since he has been able to his entire life.
Why would he think her family would help him? He killed Maggie.

Heard with a blade as she begs him to stop, a recording played at trial that
I transcribed and loudened
@@j.y.3604 Unfortunately what she thinks is not legally evidence.
@@j.y.3604 This is a largely circumstantial case, but I absolutely agree that Alec did it.
She's a very credible witness.
They are all delusional. It was not an accident. It was murder by a drunken underage overdulged man who never owned up to his actions
The definition of privilege
Like father, like son…
She is an excellent witness.
💯💯💯credible witness that highlighted some very important facts. Very impactful for me, not the least of which is I felt like Maggie was speaking through her beloved sister! They share an amazing likeness physically and were close confidants. I counting to pray for Maggie, Paul and all who truly loved them.
Marian is so likeable, radiant and real. Such an unnecessary loss and tragedy.
Wow she is just clueless with her head in the sand about terrible Paul. Boat crash was his fault & he is horrible on the video when the cops get there. Give it a watch Sis. Get your head out of your a$$
I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a family member to murder, then to have to testify in court. Ms Marian was real. I hope somehow she can find comfort in the happy memories she had with her sister. Such a tragedy no one should have to face. Lots of innocent people are hurting.
@@sonnydayz2118 She had her own money allegedly. Look at the sister, white shirt w sweater over it, means rich Ahole.
All these people looked the other way as long as the opportunities kept coming. Other people's situations and money woes meant nothing to these people until.someone close to them got hurt.
@@LisaPeterson227 I need to get me a white shirt and a sweater 🤔
So heartbreaking! She looks just like Maggie. I can’t believe even imagine how difficult this has all been for her. 😢
They look so much alike wow
Both have beautiful hair!
Beautiful lady
Oh plz.....it's been *really* difficult for the family and friends of Mallory Beach. Maggie and Alex went to the hospital the night of the boat accident only to intimidate the other young people on the boat. Their intent was to get them to accuse another young man of driving the boat when they absolutely knew their son, POS Paul, was the drunk fool driving. They never gave a damn about the death of Mallory Beach. Maggie was a nasty, arrogant narcissist who raised both Buster and Paul to believe they were above it all and could do know wrong. And Maggie's sister knew this. She knew damn well what jerks her nephews were and how Maggie / Alex has *zero* parenting skills.
@@lisalafayette Okay, sorry! Now replying to the correct response. I have heard other interviews with her, and she was not so kind in her recountance. She said that Maggie abused the Murdaugh name, and we all know this whole family terrorized their town with their privilege for far too long. Alex walking into that hospital with his fake badge (and everywhere else, barring Mallory’s family from critical sites) was absolutely disgusting and against the law. Alex got the sentence he deserved (if not more), and should never have been permitted to be above the law. Absolute miscarriage of office and authority. Everyone who has lost their lives and livelihoods due to his corruption deserves Justice and recompense (although NOTHING can bring our loved ones back).
I’m at least glad that she shared that Maggie DID NOT want to go back, else we could have had a different verdict.
I don’t understand how these defense lawyers drilling down on very credible witnesses helps their case. I wanted him to just shut up 😂
Me too
My heart breaks 💔 for her!!!
It's a shame all these down-to-earth people in Murdaugh's life did not influence him to live an honest life.
Was thinking the same. They all seem like such nice people.
I think what is so shocking to me is even though he was going through a lot of terrible stuff in his professional life, I would think that he would be very grateful at the very least for a loving and caring family and group of friends. In my opinion, he would’ve been able to get through anything with the support of his loved ones.
What’s a shame is how Alex Murdaugh betrayed and disgraced them all.
He is a grown man. The burden of his emotional immaturity should be on himself only, not on the people around him.
He had everyone conned! His clients, his partners, his wife and kids were all in the dark. The banks, some judges and his "naive" friends were his accomplices because they were making money or clout. There was no one to influence him. And even if there were he's one manipulative SOB.
Hurts my heart to hear her speak of her only sister in the past tense. Nephew too 😢
The sister is just so down to earth and a beautiful lady.
Such a gorgeous beautiful lady!
This beautiful lady is breaking my heart. You can see it in her eyes that she wishes she had never encouraged Maggie to go to Moselle that day. There is no way she could have ever predicted or known, what was going to happen when her sister got there. She's carrying a cross on her own shoulders that she doesn't deserve to bear. It's more than obvious how much she loved Maggie and Paul. Listening to her testimony about her sister and Paul gave those of us who didn't know them, some insight in to a side of them not often talked about in the media. I can't imagine losing either of my siblings or my nieces or nephews at all, let alone in such a brutally horrific way. Her sister seems really sweet and I hope that her and her family get justice for the deaths of Maggie and Paul.
I am the youngest of 8 and the only one still living. Enjoy the company of your siblings while you are all together.
@@carolyngenc5329 I'm the oldest of seven and my biggest fear is that one or more of my siblings could precede me in death. This happened to one of my grandmas and it was hard on her. My other grandma was the youngest of 8 and all of her older siblings died before her. Both of these scenarios are difficult to cope with. None of us get a choice. We just have to deal with the fallout the best that we can.
@@vickyabramowitz2885
I miss my siblings every day of my life. Sometimes I see something or hear something and think I must tell a sister or brother. And then I remember. I have friends and family but it's different. I have had a good life but it was better.
I’m sure he would have found another opportunity to kill his wife and son. If she would have stayed at the beach house that evening..he would have just planned a different time for the murder. One he decided they were going to die..it was just a matter of time and place.
Very well said and I think you speak for most of us ♥️🙏🏻♥️
Sorry my dear. But crashing a boat while speeding and drunk is not an accident.
I’m sorry for all the family’s loss
Exactly, me or U would be in a cell for a long time for that. And that would have actually saved Paul's life.
@@mizztia5303 ABSOLUTELY
What punishment did Paul receive for driving the boat whilst drunk? Watching from UK 🇬🇧
@@mizztia5303 GREAT POINT(S)
Exactly 💯. If you use your brothers ID to get Alcohol then proceed to get incredibly Drunk that you crash into cement pillons and kill a young woman, THAT'S NOT BY ACCIDENT!! I caught that right away.
Murderers never consider all the lives that are destroyed besides their targets.
The amount of people who are suffering at this man's hands is astronomical.
Obviously counting the victims.
It’s got to be dozens of people, taking into account all of the financial crimes as well, robbing entire families of their settlement money that would be used to pay for ongoing medical bills or to keep a roof over their heads.
Well said.
That is very true.
It's not that they don't consider the lives they destroy, it's that they just don't care.
And the loved ones of the other victims whose lives were lost by the actions of these Murdaugh family members, including Paul.
Finally a voice for Maggie...she was a powerful witness...
Extremely powerful
Definitely. Marian is so kind and humble. Even though they are extremely wealthy. I googled Marian Proctor. She and her husband are worth many millions. They sold their home for 6 million. I so appreciate her testifying on Maggie’s behalf. I know wealthy people in our area and are friends with many and most are hard working and wonderful parents. Like most of us, they started out with nothing and just worked hard. I definitely think Alex is 100% guilty. I have 2 theories- 1. He wanted sympathy to give him more time to come up with money to pay off his financial crimes. 2. Maggie was worth 5 million on her own, so he needed her money to pay off his debts. And Maggie had this sister as the executor of her will but Alex used a pen and changed it to his name, which was so obvious! Even after he used the pen, anyone could read it still said Marian Proctor.
Maggie was a narcissistic POS who allowed her sons (especially Paul) to rule and reign over others and never held him accountable for his horrible actions. Just like the situation with the boat tragedy. Maggie and Alex both came to the hospital that night with the intent to intimidate the other young people who were on the boat, tried to place the blame on another young man for driving the boat.
They were horrible parents and raised a couple of monsters.
All you have to do is see the documentary to find out how Alex and Maggie were not decent, nice people.
@@bbe3034 In December 2021 Marion was on the will & denounced herself, for her reason to my knowledge has not been said. When Marion denounced herself, John Marvin was listed with Marion’s approval as executor of Maggie’s will.
I am definitely not defending Alex as the murderer, he’s guilty as sin.
He made 11 million dollars in 9 years she was more than comfortable for goodness sake. The boat accident was a result of a cocky drunk young man.
You summed it up!
She said they were 5 years apart and he says 7 years???? It might seem irrelevant but he doesn't need to come across as impersonal and incompetent.
I was just listening and I was like 7? This women clearly said 5 years .
These attorneys don't seem to listen to the answers to the questions they ask of their witnesses.
@@FindMeOnABeach that's not really relevant to what's important part of her testimony
Was he even listening to the witness?
But wondering why she didn't correct him
My heart just breaks for Maggie's sister and family, and her nieces' "favorite aunt".
“We were afraid. We didn’t know what was going on. My family was scared, I was scared for Alec and Buster. I felt like they needed protection. I think everybody was afraid. Alec didn’t seem to be afraid.”
That statement got his attention & in my opinion, he didn't like it. Aww. To bad.
That was the most powerful part of her testimony in my opinion. And then in the cross examination when she said their opinion changed in September.
Man that perked his ears up😂 Looks at lawyer to his left like wth😲 I feel Marion knows in her heart who killed her sister nephew.
@@happylolipop She is clearly a fine lady. I admire her ability to say what she thinks without any show of anger, disgust, and with a sense of quiet resolve. "I think everybody was afraid. Alec didn't seem to be afraid." A simple statement that said it all.
@@janec9850 I totally agree. I don't think AM expected her to say that. It was quietly powerful & it surprised him. I don't feel bad for him. My heart breaks for her & I admire her strength.
Her composure is very impressive.
The only time I’ve cried during testimony in this trial. Really powerful.
Wow. She looks JUST LIKE her sister!
I was thinking the same thing😥
She is so pretty and she looks like Maggie.
How was" he misrepresented in the media" when we saw and heard his behavior via videos? His friends said he hit and spat in the face of his girlfriend. He willing risked lives by driving the boat while completely DRUNK ! What am I missing? Yes, he is an innocent victim of this murder, but I am confused about how "amazing" of a person he was. Not trying to cause issues here, but ...not understanding.
Right. Spitting on people and calling women b1tches is a perfect representation of what he was because that's what he did
Kids always act differently when around people other than the parents .
@@Elizabeth-wz4nh seems like Paul acted the same way around his parents. There are plenty of videos and photos that have been released of Alex drinking with Paul, and way before he was an adult much less legal to drink. I think some of the time people act different around other adults in their family or life, not so much parents. Parents get to see both sides of their child, the positive parts and the negative.
Not to mention after the crash happened and the police were on the scene, Paul stood and laughed at Mallory’s boyfriend/his own friend until he snapped on him and started yelling to the officer to get Paul away from him. The audio was published and they included it in the Murdaugh Murders podcast.
Uh yeah
I only have a brother, but my mother had sisters and I envied their relationship so very much. I watched her lose one of them to cancer and it broke my heart. I hurt for Marian so much. ❤️
I have all brothers. My mom had all sisters, was always jealous myself. So sorry for your loss, it never gets easier! 😢🥺 sending blessings from CO
My daughter is the middle of two brothers and she truly is the glue that holds us together, as strange as that may sound. Sometimes I wish she could have a sister but she loves her crazy brothers 🤣 and is fiercely protective ❤️
That was heart wrenching. God bless that woman and her parents.
Incredibly brave of her to testify for her beloved, murdered, sister, Maggie 🙏💪♥️
And Paul, too, tbh. First I've heard something good about the kid.
Why was it brave? Do you think she was putting her neck in the noose so that Alex might orchestrate from jail her demise as well?
@@mortalclown3812 That's because Paul wasn't a good kid. And everyone keeps calling him a kid. He was an arrogant, irresponsible, young, out-of-control adult who never took responsiblity for his actions. Did whatever he wanted without regard for anyone because he and his brother (Buster) knew his parents would always get them out of any trouble.
@@lisalafayette case of the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
How is it brave? Theres literally cops there so Alex cant touch her. Its like me having a body guard and insulting someone and saying look at me im brave. No.
I feel bad for the sister 😢
BUT, that boat crash was all on Paul, he killed a young lady so he deserved the backlash.
And Alex didn’t seemed concerned about the killer because HE IS THE KILLER🤷🏾♀️
He did not murder her, murder is with intent.
Doesn't qualify as murder by any stretch of the definition. It was awful, it's his fault and there were a slew of possible charges, but murder? Nope.
She probably didnt know about his activities except when she dealt with him.
@@mauiswift6391 all that planning???
Paul's parent's were guilty of negligent parenting! they knew Paul had a drinking problem and should of locked him up in rehab, he was given card blanche and they continued to deny there was a real problem. They said he was not driving the boat, but there were five witnesses that said he was.
This woman gives us an idea of what Maggie was probably like. A nice, decent person. This is such an epic tragedy.
And Maggie seemed a bit sheltered perhaps. I never aspired to be a taken care of, stay at home mom so I seriously cannot relate at all to that mentality. To me it seems dangerous almost as if you're putting your own safety and life and financial well being into your husband's hands which puts undue pressure on him.
Meanwhile her parenting skills didn't seem to be above par for that matter either.
Maggie, I guess, did things however with the boys, but sounds like she didn't get involved with any other civic, social, church, pillar of society or go to the gym type activities.
May she RIP.
She looks a lot like Maggie.
And perhaps a bit delusional
She was shopping for a new house. Her son killed a young girl.
I've heard from many that Maggie never (like seriously, not once) disciplined the boys. She'd tell them they were Murdaughs and therefore were above everyone else and could do anything they wanted. I'm not trying to bash the dead, just stating what others who knew then have said.
Yes, Paul was sweet, that's why he spit on the girl, and talked to the nurse the way he did.
Right, spit on his date, called her the B word, and told the nurse to hold his Peter
Didn't he hit her too.
@@ellemack8987 are you serious? I didn't know that. Ugh! He was an entitled spoiled brat.
I'm sure she never knew about all that until reading in paper.
Can't imagine losing my sister and nephew to such a horrific murder! So sad hope she finds healing and peace 🙏❤️
That look he gave her when she said “Alec didn’t seem to be afraid” 😮
Not a lavish lifestyle!
They had 3 homes n expensive autos... and she didn't work. I call that lavish. I can't believe how she calls that comfortable.
Well, I think maybe you haven't seen what really lavish looks like, especially in the South.
I agree with you!! Seems very lavish to me.
I guess her sister had a lot more money than the Maurdagh's. Well I should say her husband had a lot more $, and Maggie was jealous. I heard it from a interview from one of Maggie's friends.
Kinda delusional
It's all relative.
Alex did ever bit of this.
This woman has far more money than Maggie & Alex had. And she just radiates grace. God bless her. ❤️
So for you money = grace ? 🤔😬
@@tatertott2390 My point was the exact opposite. I'm saying typically, you don't see a whole lot of grace with wealthy people. She, however, is just lovely.
I'm not sure how you know the Proctor family finances.one thing this trial has taught me is not to assume i know anyone's financial situation. 🤔
how do yo uknow how much money this woman have? I am not being sarcastic, just curious as I don't know these people.
@@dogbsas It's well known and she is quite frequently referred to as "Maggie's even richer Sister."
Her voice even sounds like her sister’s in the video….she seems so kind and so heartbroken 😔
“Whoever had done this had thought about it for a very long time.” People will tell you about themselves if you’re paying attention.
He thought about it killing his family for a long time.
Exactly, Alex has revealed so much, “the killing of the sunflowers” vs the sunflowers were dying.
@@aquavenus8026 If paul had said the sunflowers were sprayed than using “the killing” would be correct would it not
'Whoever did it had thought about it for a very long time'~ Alec M
Lol
Slap dab in the mind of a killa
Freudian slip!!
And when she said that the camera turned and looked at him and he did his guilty little sniff thing he does
She’s trying so hard. She’s having a tug of war with her brain, her gut and her heart all at the same time. I want to hug her🥺
There is nothing like a relationship with your sister. You share everything. You have a bond like none other. Heartbreaking ..
Not me and my youngest sister, but I wish we did, but I'd still give my life for her, knowing that she could care less about me; we not all built the same, some just got self
Not when your sister is a covert narcissist and stabs you in the back when all you want is a relationship with her because she is your big sister so it goes both ways trust me
@@oregoncountrygirl I'm so sorry
@@oregoncountrygirl You and I seem to have a sister that’s just alike. She’s hated me since my birth and I’ve never known why. I still wouldn’t want harm to come to her.
I agree with you to a point however I have a stronger bond with my brother than I do my sister , im still close to my sister we speak almost everyday however me and my brother are so alike she’s so different to us
Her testimony about Alex getting Maggie to come home was so heartbreaking because I could see she blames her self for Maggie losing her life. It must play in her head day and night "If only I has not told her to come back". I know that's what I would be thinking. I also feel what she said about Alex not being afraid and his inteerst being in clearing Pauls name instead of who killed her sister and Paul says a lot about Alex in this case.
The murder cleared Pauls name.
What a beautiful woman. I believe Maggie came from a wonderful family. I really pray that she and her family find peace.
How the hell would he know if they suffered if he wasn’t there or killed them!???
I hope she knows it's not her fault that her sister is gone. She encouraged her to go, but had no idea what the next few hours at the Moselle property would entail. She will probably regret that conversation for the rest of her life.
I always do not encourage women to talk to a husband, boyfriend.
Very sad😢
So you convinced her to go....Did the lawyer really have to say that to Maggie's sister? She probably feels terrible about it.
@@audreydaleski1067 🤦
@@audreydaleski1067???
How would Alex know if someone had thought about the murders for a very long time - unless it was himself he was referring to
He suspected it was a person out for revenge due to the boating incident...and that was a long time ago!
Wow! She said that's not a lavish life style. Beach house, more than 1 house built. Unbelievable!
Multiple homes, private planes, Mercedes, designer clothes, seems lavish to most of us .
I thought the same. Millions of dollars in assets and states that's just a comfortable lifestyle.
Alex is not concerned about who murdered Paul and Maggie - sociopath
Cause he did it 🤷🏾♀️
Cause he did it.
why would he be he did it
He did it, or he hired someone to do it and for some odd reason won’t say who
Correct
With all the influence and means this family had I find it hard to show any compassion or sympathy for a man who murders his wife and child. If there’s any kind of justice this man should never see the sunshine again. Seriously… who else could or would do such a thing? Truly heartbreaking how one man’s addiction destroyed a family tree!
Tbh I don't think his 'addiction' had a thing to do with it.
seriously i feel nothing watching these testimonies
My heart breaks for her sister.
He did a FANTASTIC job w/ this testimony.
Sis was a loving witness to Maggie and Paul’s life.
What a very sweet way to describe her testimony.
Now this is genuine emotion. Poor woman. I’m crying and I don’t even know her. Alex knows she thinks he killed her sister and she would be right. Just horrible!
It must be awful because some of their relatives still think Alex is actually innocent.
I hope he knows that. I am not sure that she is communicating that she believes he killed her sister. I think it is a confusing situation to be in the middle or, surely.
@@dfinite4089 I think their absence at the trial speaks volumes
Every time she talks of what her sister did like fishing with the boys and walking dogs she smiles ear to ear. So sorry to all family & friends victims who have ever have to experience losses like these.
And she does not say that Alex was with them, as a family .
She said “Alex didn’t seem to be afraid.” That was the key of her testimony. I’m sorry for your loss.
Yep I thought so too. Did you notice the look on Alec’s face as the court cam panned on him after she made that statement. I’ll bet he was feeling like his blood had turned to ice in his veins at that point. And you know the jury saw the look on his face too. The look of “oh crap i shoulda thought to act frightened…now they’re all gonna know why I didn’t”. I thought he had the look of a kid who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar…”guilty”.
Such a credible witness. One can feel her pain as well.
My heart goes out to you dearest lady. You will be blessed
What a sweet & beautiful lady! My heart goes out to her.
My little dog died last January it’s been a year now and I knew that my dog was sick and dying but when my dog died and to this day a year later, when I think about my dog, it makes me sick to my stomach I wanna throw up I can’t breathe. My chest hurts and just writing this makes me cry and this man who seen his family‘s heads blown off has no emotions just fake emotions and you can tell he’s disgusting.
Such a strong dignified woman… she spoke for her sister and did it very, very well.
Heartbreaking... I can't imagine how devastated her parents were after hearing of their😔 passing!
The fact that Maggie didn’t want to go to Mozelle, but went bc it was the right thing to do makes this even more tragic 😰
6:36 “it wasn’t a lavish life”. If a 1,700+ acre farm, which is not even the main home, isn’t a lavish life, I don’t know what is. 🙄
I think she meant, like her sister not spending money on a lot of material things.
The house on Moselle was a dump.
@@kathleenholloway9785 a dump? I’d hate to see what you classify as lavish then. 🤔🤣
Oh my gosh this is excruciating to listen to. The pain and grief that AM has spread far and wide - so awful.
Alex told her Maggie didn't suffer ! According to pathologist dr. who did autopsy, the fourth shot through kidney area would have been very painful. . How would he know she didnt suffer, if he wasnt there!!!!??
Very painful to hear her testimony. Watching g her attorneys go round with the judge. Priceless. Hope this registers.
Her attorneys?
If I were on the jury I’d vote to convict at this point in the testimony. Will await further testimony and evidence.
At this point I'd have to vote no. For murder they havnt proven it beyond a reasonable doubt yet. Financial crimes yup guilty. Murder hasn't proven it imo
What evidence?
Yes. I would convict after hearing her testimony. " Whoever did this thought about it for a long time." Alex Murdaugh to Marian Procter. And she puts both Maggie and Paul there per Alex request.
Maggie went home thinking that Mr. Richard was gonna b at Almeda when she got there..by the time she got home he was already gone to the hospital. She didn't like going to Almeda anyway simply because of Mrs. Libby's condition, but was going on the strength of seeing her father in law who was rushed to hospital after she arrived, hence Alex went by himself. People hear what they want to hear and have already convicted this man with no clear physical evidence, only theories!
@@tommycoyote3258 That is not evidence that he did it. It could mean so many different things like the shooter(s) revenge of the boating incident from years before .I dont think the prosecutors have a solid case so far. The motive is weak and invalid in my common sense. All the witnesses testified that Maggie & Alec had a good relationship, to the point of him 'adoring' her and his sons. The only thing they have linking him to the crime scene, is the bullets at the scene that match up to 2 of the weapons the Murdaugh's had at that property. The cell records cannot prove exactly what time the shootings occurred, and being that they were each shot from 2 different weapons suggest there may have been 2 shooters, how did he shoot them both around the same time with 2 diff weapons? It seems that Paul was the target and Maggie was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It’s profoundly tragic that the love of a woman like Maggie and the love of those children was wasted on a man whose only love was money.
He seems like one of those MANY fake lawyers that act like they care about clients but really only care about the ridiculous check they get from the lawsuit settlement.
And drugs...basically a crackhead
i can’t imagine losing my only sister this way. her pain is unbearable.
Her husband kills her and their son.
it’s hard to even say
God bless this woman. This testimony had to be hard. And I think Alex did it.
Poor lady, just terrible.😢
Seems like a very nice person. And a devastating loss beyond comprehension for her and her family. But, a 'comfortable' life? This family are huge fish in a little pond...multimillionaires with many properties and luxurious hobbies very few people on the planet have. It illustrates how clueless people are who live with such wealth and privilege 🙄...
I know.
I've heard that she is far more wealthy than her sister was so that probably had something to do with how she described it.
It's not just an accident pple go to jail for drink driving and killing pple.
She said Paul was mistreated??? He got drunk, drove a boat recklessly, killed someone and then laughed about it afterwards. This lady paints him as the victim of the boat incident. What messed up people.
And his father saying: „Forget her. She’s gone.”
People can have multiple faces, even serial killers can go back to their families after murdering someone and act like amazing fathers/mothers, brothers and sisters.
Maybe she only saw the good side of Paul. The one who wasn't drunk & laughing at killing a beautiful young woman or hitting his girlfriend.
Nail on head!!! He was an entitled little boy that got drunk and killed that young woman.
THANK YOU! She said the boat wreck was an “accident” It wasn’t an accident. I feel for this lady but I don’t understand why she is excusing Paul’s behavior and choices.
Alex looked stunned when she said that he didn’t seem frightened……while everybody else were concerned for their safety.
I saw that too.
At that moment, if there was any doubt about her being on the fence of his innocence, it was lost. The reality in his face.
Very strong lady. Bless her soul. So heartbreaking 😢
I feel badly for Maggie's sister, however, she described Maggie's life as not lavish but comfortable. I would definitely say any person that has three homes (worth several millions), designer clothes, purses, a housekeeper, and tens of thousands of dollars worth of guns as a lavish life. She may have lived in a small town but she didn't even cook the dinners or clean the dishes, sheesh. I hope that time will ease her loss.
Exactly
Yeah, her sister is even more well-off so I guess
"lavish" is a matter of opinion.
@@ShalomUSA I hadn't heard that. I actually heard the opposite. I don't feel bad for Paul or Maggie having people turn their backs or shut them please. Those kids the raised were irresponsible with little to no discipline for christ sake Buster cheated in law school and Paul killed someone and Alex was trying to sway everyone the night of the accident to get their stories straight geezus nobody deserves to be murdered but painting this family as something they aren't is ridiculous. Everyone can save your attacks on me. A spade is a spade!!!!
I caught that too.
I believe it was an extravagant life syle.
Piece of work family. Every last one of them
What a lovely woman.Feel so bad for her.
I think I'm finally seeing the motive here. I don't buy the states motive but what is more reasonable to me Maggie was in denial about what the boat incident law suit would do to them financially. Renovating and trying to buy houses. Total denial of the situation.
This kind soul.... if her sister Maggie was anything like her plus everything that's been described, then truly we have lost an angel on earth. This crime is even more heinous than we'd originally thought.
People are rarely angels, but it's not even the point. (And I'm not saying Maggie wasn't terrific.) It's simply that people are just human and deserve the right to live out their lives without running across the likes of Alex Murdaugh.

It should matter if someone is kind and sweet or if they’re a hermit that smokes crack, nobody deserves to be gunned down like a dog by anyone, especially their spouse.
i think much of media influence statement are a bunch of bs on describing her and others only her sister set the record straight that is pure and not the marketing of some media outlets incl all internet youtuber wannabe journalists. good her sister could speak i believe her.
I agree. The way Blanca talked her and how chill she was about when showed up to work and she constantly try said "no worries" ... what a shame
Thanks for the edit! Missed this testimony. Very moving
when she said " Alex didn't seem to be afraid" , did you see the look he gave ?!!??
Five years apart, not 7. I have 5 sisters. We are wild when we are together. We are very close, and age has never slowed us down. We are as crazy as adults as when we were teens. She will miss her precious sister. So tragic.
That pos knows he’s on camera-putting on an act all the time
And not a good act. He can't even squeeze out some tears. 😒
Beautiful woman. So real and decent mourning her sister and sisters son. Yet so pure and deeply hurt.
God bless her good soul
Heartbreaking to see her go through that testimony, she lost her sister and her nephew in a horrible murder. You can tell how much she loved her sister and nephew, how close they were as a family.
I felt so sorry for her. Can see the pain all over her face. 💔
She just said 5 yrs apart and the lawyer said 7 yrs. He is not an active listener.
Exactly Diane! DH is going to do his thing and AM will be innocent!
Alex asked her to come back home to go see his father. but he went to see his mother ALONE, at a late hour, which didnt make sense because his mother is sleeping by then. and then insisted to the nurse that he was there LONGER than he was?
I don't have a sister but I lost one of my brothers to natural causes. That was hard enough, but I can't imagine having him taken from me violently by another person. My heart breaks for her & their family.
I THINK HE CLEANED UP AT THE DEER SKINNING AREA, NOT THE HOUSE.
sorry, but the boat crash was NOT an accident. Paul's friends said he was very intoxicated and belligerent, and was going faster and faster until he hit a bridge pylon and a young girl was thrown from the boat, hit something and drowned.
Listening to how Maggie was probably killed it hurts my heart. I feel so sorry for her family and for what happened to Maggie.
Shot like a hog. So disrespectful
AM not concerned about catching "the murderer" ever! Very odd
Her sister is gorgeous, considering the circumstances.
I can't imagine being in the same room as anyone that even looks at my only little sister in the wrong way. 🤬
This testimony sealed the deal I think. He’s definitely guilty
She said her sister didn't live a lavish lifestyle. They had a beach house, 1700 acres estate and another home. They had several expensive vehicles. Lavish by most people's standards.
Oh sweet Marian; You couldn’t have ever suspected or known what Alex had in store for them. Don’t blame yourself. My prayers are with you. What a cruel burden to have to tell your aging mother that her precious daughter and grandson had been murdered.
Bless this woman's soul! Nothing but kind loving words about her lost sister and nephew. I can only hope that someone can say such kind things about me if something were to happen.
