I find Judge Newman has impeccable credentials and this is a way for Poot and Jim to try to disparage him before his retirement. Alex admitted all these financial crimes under oath! Who cares if Judge Newman presides over the financial trial since guilt has been established by Alex himself. Poot and Jim went on every tv show they could get on and continue to do so. Poot, Jim and Alex are birds of a feather, imo.
@@marthamann7685, The Prosecution's response is FULL of black holes and EVERYTHING about it is misleading. The first black hole is that ONE of the TWELVE who actually deliberated REFUSED to be voluntarily interviewed by SLED. If that juror WAS influenced by Becky Hill, it does NOT matter in any way how many others were not influenced. The misleading part is that Becky Hill's denials are limited and in quotes which is TECHNICALLY not perjury if one word in the quotes is different. For example, if she said "don't believe him" but she denies saying "don't credit him," it is misleading but TECHNICALLY not perjury. Therefore, it should be full confrontation, not limited to pre-restricted questions. Another "cutie" by Becky Hill is that she denies giving the jurors business cards of media people "during the trial." If she gave them those business cards BEFORE or AFTER the trial, then her affidavit is misleading but NOT TECHNICALLY perjury. There is nothing funny or amusing about a man innocent of two murders getting convicted because four people, AT THE VERY LEAST, wanted and got a free luxury trip to New York. People have killed for less than that. But this whole trial was for more than that: to extort Alex and Buster Murdaugh into settling the boat crash case. This is our world now. Face it.
@@marieassaad-faltas1299 Murdaugh is a murderer! Nothing innocent about him. He is a thief and stole millions from poor people. You need to face it! Maybe you are like him, if you side with the crooks!
I'm surprised that the lawyer on this panel is not aware of the law governing the circumstances in which the presiding judge may publicly speak on the guilt of the defendant. Read it. This judge is well within the legal limits of this law.

Creighton Waters did NOT say in his opening argument OR before Alex Murdaugh ("AM") testified "watch his body language" SIMPLY BECAUSE, in opening, Creighton Waters DID NOT KNOW, and could not have known, that AM will testify. Also, before cross-examining AM, Creighton Waters COULD NOT HAVE addressed the jury and told them to "watch his body language." A lawyer is NOT ALLOWED to address the jury at any time in trial EXCEPT in opening and closing statements. Since in opening, Waters, did not know AM will testify; and in closing, AM had already testified, Waters could not have told the jury to RETRO-ACTIVELY "watch AM's body language." But foremost, which is it? Are those jurors so smart they could not possibly have wrongly convicted an innocent man? Or are they so stupid they do not know the difference between a male prosecutor and a female clerk of court? And we are NOT talking about the two jurors on whom AM relies. We are talking about THE MAJORITY of jurors who voluntarily agreed to be interviewed by SLED. Critical thinking, my dear, critical thinking.
It also turns out not only Becky and the jurors got "their 15 minutes," but they put their children, too, with them. In Becky "Boo" Hill's book page 191, you see a photo of Boo's daughter with this caption: Country music star, Dustin Lynch, and my "plus one" (daughter Aubrey) spent time together in NBC's The Today Show green room. TRANSLATION: At least Becky Hill AND HER DAUGHTER flew expense-free to New York with at least three jurors who voted guilty, each of which PRESUMABLY has a "plus one," too. So, at least 8 people had a luxury junket to New York paid for with the blood and tears of Paul, Maggie, and Alex Murdaugh. It gets even worse: At pages 59-60 of her book, Becky Hill writes: What I learned on our flight to New York City after the trial was that three close friends of his [meaning of a male juror who voted guilty] all chipped in and paid the financially strapped juror his regular salary. For all six weeks of the trial! Several thousand dollars. TRANSLATION: Thousands of dollars were being paid DIRECTLY from an outside source to a juror who voted guilty to enable him to stay on the jury. WHO ARE THOSE THREE CLOSE FRIENDS? Why was it important for them that THIS juror serve on the jury? Was that even their own money or were they funnelling it from an outside source? That is way, way, worse than anything Becky Hill admits to about her own misconduct.
Judge Newman has voiced his opinion on the Murdaugh case numberous times. It seems appropriate to step aside outside the role of witness. Meanwhile, i think Marybeth Hurt as Becky Hill.Jeff Daniels as Murdaugh. Kevin Spacy as Harpootlian. And Brad Pitt as Creighton Waters!
Some mistakenly think Becky Hill has been the clerk of court "for decades." They are confusing COURT REPORTER with administering courts, even if not THE elected clerk of court. Again, a COURT REPORTER must stay AWAY from everything that happens in court EXCEPT every word that gets said in OPEN COURT, not "behind the doors." A court reporter does make mistakes and it is up to the person/entity who orders the transcript or a copy of it to challenge the transcript. THAT IS USUALLY DONE PRIVATELY. That is why we cannot know if, AS A COURT REPORTER, Becky Hill had a reputation of being scrupulously accurate (as I have known some court reporters, including the two who alternated taking down the Alex Murdaugh trial) on one extreme to being careless, grumpy, and even falsifying transcripts (as rarely happens by SOME court reporters including one who took the money in advance and did not produce the transcript but resigned and kept the money) on the other extreme. We do not know and CANNOT KNOW. So, in the absence of Becky Hill's prior OBJECTIVE record, we can rely ONLY on the objective facts before us. Otherwise, Creighton Waters did NOT say in his opening argument OR before Alex Murdaugh ("AM") testified "watch his body language" SIMPLY BECAUSE, in opening, Creighton Waters DID NOT KNOW and could not have known that AM will testify. Also, before cross-examining AM, Creighton Waters COULD NOT HAVE addressed the jury and told them to "watch his body language."

I totally agree that Judge Newman should step aside. I do agree Alex Murdaugh deserves a new trial. I’m not convinced he is the killer because Paul aka Timmy did create a lot of enemies that had access to him.
Crazy legal system in america, from judges, juriors, social media, u can't help urselves wanting ur 15 mins of fame.!! In europe it would'nt happen, never ever would a judge be heard on the airways or social media giving opinons about court cases or any other opinons about anything to do with their position as judge.!!!

Well said and the TRUTH.
Poot is exactly that, a poot! He's as dirty as his bestie Murderer Murdaugh
Jim and Poot are the best BS artists in South Carolina by far -- true masters of sleaze.
