He was an excellent witness.. a true professional, great personality and very knowledgeable...I'm sure the jury really appreciated how clear and concise his testimony was..I really enjoyed listening to him. He carries himself well and I'm sure resonated with the jury.
He's not an addict. He's a dealer. In my rehab we had a few guys who everyone knew were not addicts. They lied to the Judge and said they were slaves to their addictions and the drugs made them do it, and they wanted to get sober and turn their lives around and help people by telling their stories. Their lawyers lie for them. Instead of being sent to prison, they got sent to rehab and a sober house and outpatient treatment programs. They have great cars and guns guns guns and money money money, and they have no conscience. They can charm the socks off of your feet. "Yes, Ma'am", "No, Sir", "I love my mama".... What a conman.
Why else would he shave his head bald when he went to prison but to hide any follicle testing to prove or disprove his drug habit. I've not seen one pic of Alec sporting a buzz cut except in his jail house pics. However Maggie's sister said he was on drugs and that Paul was the one who'd find and destroy them. So unless the whole family was in on that grift prior to their deaths or he really was on them. Idk which to believe.
@@RLFinTX going thru Google pulling up his images, the image I am recalling of him being indicted was in August of 2022 and he has a clean shaven head. He was "shot" in oct 2021. If his head was fully shaved then, he'd have grown it back 10 months later when his indictment pic was taken with the blue scrubs on. I'm bored, so I guess I'll dig around and see if I can find other photos between him being shot and him going to jail, lol.
@@RLFinTX ok so my boredom won over. Nope he had hair after being shot. His bond hearing for insurance fraud for faking the roadside killing event, he had a head of hair. They even commented that you can't see where he'd been shot. Another article in 2022 says he showed up to court with a jailhouse buzz cut. I really thought you could be correct since I myself have had 2 brain surgeries and they buzzed my head for them to cut down on any possible means of causing infection to the wound. So I thought damn why didn't I think of that, lol. But upon going down a rabbit hole out of shear boredom, lol, it doesn't appear he got the buzz till much later than his "being shot in the head" days.

You know, with the emotions Alex is genuinely showing, I think he was actively remembering those shootings and probably thinking, “ that’s exactly how it happened “ and having murdered them. Terrible man! At least Paul went down fast, he made Maggie suffer. She must’ve been absolutely terrified!!!

Shooting from the hip caused upward trajectory. No need to shoulder fire shotgun at such close range just shoot from the hip. Maggie saw it happen and took off running. Got out of range for shotgun so he grabs the 300 brings her down with a long shot. The 300 had an expensive optical sight. then he goes to where she fell down and finished her off. JMO

He looked green around the gills and was at one point shaking. I don't think he realized how much damage he did to Paul and Maggie. Maggie is the one that he showed more emotion to during this hearing, not Paul. I think Paul is who he really meant to kill.
@@shawnnewell4541 Oh wow..who knows! What state of mind he was in if he committed this crime. Seems to me that both Paul and Maggie had a lot of anger directed towards them. Seems the shooter shot them in a way they would know who was shooting them.
That monster was probably eating candy as he was killing them! Cold as ice! Buster as well! Shame on him! He had a loving. Caring mother most only dream of! Alec is just an entitled, self centered. POS!! 💩🤬🤥 Discusting people😢
Paul in centre of feed shed, Shotgun sticking through the open door pointed at you, how damn frightening, & to see who was pointing it at you😈 stumbled to the door opening only to have his brains blown out, then onto the next victim, Monstrous.
This expert witness solved the case for me. I would absolutely watch a movie he was in. I felt like I was watching Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, I was captivated.
Just thinking about the terror that Paul and Maggie were feeling as they were being murdered is heartbreaking and for them to know that Alec was the monster holding weapons that were taking their lives! Just heartbreaking! 😢
He is so absolutely amazing! He does not leave any doubt as to what happened! I believe that it was his experience and wisdom that removed any doubt as to what really happened ❤ Blessings to him 🙏 ♥️
Nothing in these small towns as far as law is written in stone. ,the entire town has been run by this family. I have seen completely guilty get off so yes we will have to see.
I don’t believe that a surprise video that records your voice at the scene of a crime, 4 minutes before it occurs, after you have stated that you were not there….is circumstantial. It’s as good as DNA…you said you weren’t there, your voice is recorded there, you were there.
Thank God for everyone that worked on this case to ensure that Paul and Maggie's murderer was held accountable! It is so incredibly sad to me that a father couuld get so caught up in his own madness that he thought that murdering his son was his way out!
All it takes is one juror trying to gain favor with the murdaugh family to hang this case. The case should have been moved out of his home turf. When you have to cover a picture hanging in the actual court house because he's murdaugh legacy, it should have been moved. There was too much done in this case so as not to upset the murdaugh family. Even the police didn't want to "upset" the family. The case should have been moved, it just takes one, just one.
Hey Lexi. I just wanted to say that even if there is 1 holdout, and its a hung jury, they will retry this case. Which actually may benefit the prosecution side by letting them fine tune evidence and or witnesses for the next trial. And yes! It should have been moved to a much further away, county. Cheers sweetie.
@@Julia-uh4li I get that but that swings both ways, they too get more time to fine tune their case. That would give Alex time to correct all his errors to fit the case just as he's trying to do with the snap chat video. And it also gives them time to assert their prominence as a family to try and scare the next jury so their will be at least one person to hang it too. I just think it was totally wrong to keep it in the county that he wielded so much control of. It should be moved. There's only so many hang juries before they stop trying the person. Blessings to you!
The tides have turned dramatically! No one wants or will seek the Murdaugh family’s “favor” anymore! Their name is garbage and their reputation is cringeworthy at best! This case has exposed the multi generational greed, corruption, favoritism, and gross injustices as their new Murdaugh legacy! I don’t see how the portraits taken down for this trial will ever be rehung in the courthouse! 🏛️
Mr. Murdaugh didn't show any signs of grief or remorse for his wife while the expert witness describes her catastrophic injuries. He was just blank faced. Nothing. But when the expert describes his son's catastrophic injuries he was showing grief and remorse. And at one point, I actually think I seen a few real tears. Hey I just said that he was "showing" emotions, not that they were real. I think that his face turns all red because he's trying to force the emotions. And that's only because he knows that's what's expected of him. Otherwise, he's a cold fish.
So, Alex hunted Maggie down with the ride on, hit her with it, and then shot her. What!!!!! If you look at him, you can see right through him, psychopath!!!
I wish that somebody…a hell of lot smarter than me…can explain how a son (and a brother) could possibly sit in court and listen to detail descriptions of how their mother (and brother) were murdered and sit through it all as “dry eyed” as Buster did. I woulda been bawling my eyes out. But…I love my mother and brother. For all I know Maggie and Paul were just unavoidable obstructions in Buster’s life. At least that’s how he acts every time the camera pans to show him. I mean it has zero effect on him. I just don’t get it. Totally emotionless.
Buster and Alec are snacking on goodies while listening to how their mother, brother and and wifes brains were blown out!!! Absolutely Outrageous!!! So cold and creeping! Like their at the movies! So sad...😢
12:28 Alex sister in the green, a few rows back & whoever she's with are so inappropriate. Laughing while talking about Paul's injuries. The same sister made all sorts of faces during the trial along with staring down Mr Waters. The whole family is gross 24:07 another laughing spell
23:45 you can see photo of Paul dead with his phone laying on his back pocket. Look at the top of the projector that waters is using he flips the photo over right after.
I can believe it's give you some PTSD, lol. I had a nun in college who was by far the meanest teacher I had. By far. I think she got off on making people cry. Lol. And I didn't even go to a Christian college.
Ugh the nuns were next level harsh and violent at my little Catholic middle school back in the day too! I got lifted off the ground by one arm once by one of them like I was nothing. Always hitting us with rulers and stuff too. Left nail marks in my arm when the one lifted me!
Alex has seemed sort of down today with this witness, some days he's been smiling & carrying on with his attorneys, but not today. His face had a UH OH LOOK!
Obvious to me that the person who shot paul was walking backwards after the first shot and tripped over the raised door sill. If the shooter was laying on his back as Paul leaned against the door, it would explain the angle of the shotgun for the second fatal shot. It is common for people engaged in shootings to fall while moving backwards while shooting. Many shooting instructors will teach to always move forward or sideways while shooting to avoid the fall.
Alec and his attorneys look so defeated ! They realize this expert witness knows his stuff! They know at this point it's all over! 😮 case closed....😫🤡🤪
Vinnie, i watched your closing arguments and i don’t think you should have put that out there that Maggie said Eddie in the kennel video ( because your friend from FB pointed it out ) no way she said Eddie ! She said “ hey, he’s got a bird in his mouth” so now if the defense was watching court tv tonight, they will definitely use it to put in the jurors heads! Because they have no defense and grasping for straws at this point! And even if Eddie was there the universe knows alex was there too! Anyway i watch you every night, love you and love your show always ❤
RECOIL ! RECOIL! Why isn’t anyone talking about recoil of the shotgun!? If someone shoots a shotgun and they were not steady on their feet, braced for the POWER of the gun, it could knock the shooter backwards, even to their knees, if they were not fully planted on the feet as they shoot. Therefore…. Yes they would be shooting that 2nd shot to Paul from a lower angle.
Since he was very experienced with all type of guns, I don't think any recoil caused him a problem. I think he just lowered the butt stock down to shoot from the hip. Then the angle of the gun would match what this examiner showed in the photograph he took.
Happen to think about this when they discussed the time line. So if Alex didn't leave til 9:06 or 7 pm. One of two things would have happened. Either if he was at the kennel he would have been killed too. Or if he was leaving at this time he would have at least passed the killer in the driveway and possibly heard the shots.
I knew for sure he was guilty even without this testimony. Of course, the conviction has already taken place. I hadn't seen all witnesses so I double backed to this expert. Alex had to know his goose was cooked with this testimony. He hadn't even considered a murder suicide, but that was promptly ruled out.
Alex said that the phone “popped out “ of Paul’s pocket when Alex tried to turn him over. I think Alex rolled Paul upwards enough to get the phone out of the back pocket. He was concerned about that phone but he didn’t know about the Snapchat video about Cash’s tail.
i wish there was a 3D active reenactment to really be able to see how this might have happened. Does anyone know whether Alex and Buster ever took polygraphs and if so, the results? Where was Buster during the time of the murders?
Buster was in Columbia and they said he had a pretty solid alibi. In the bodycam footage from the murder scene you can hear Alex say to one of the cops "my other son is in Columbia can we get an officer with him?" Something along those lines.
I think I would have replaced a door that my son’s blood, etc had been on as well as the markings from the pellets that shot him. I wouldn’t have just washed and repainted the door.
Dr. Kinsey reminds me my elementary school teachers... I'm from Taiwan and they always had the wood/bamboo stick on class to point and to beat us when we were not behaving.
So SAD to think there are SO many evil people living on this earth. Especially someone who can murder their own family. God....bless Paul and Maggie. Alex murdough will have his judgement day and it's not in the courtroom
Was the person/persons on the ground when they shot them?? It’s very odd that the trajectory on both is going up or in Maggie’s case straight into her head. So odd. Terribly sad….
Watch the all inclusive, detailed witness testimony of the lady pathologist. Keep in mind that Maggie and Paul were both much shorter than their killer or killer could have been crouched (Maggie was only 5'1.) Listen to the 1st AND 2nd day of testimony of the lady pathologist 2/14, 2/15 which was fantastic. Paul was ambushed in the feed room. He did not fall with the first shot fired. Maggie was clearly trying to flee when her son had been shot, his brains extruded. Again, pathologist was amazing with her testimony. Also listen to the wonderful expert witness, Mr Greer, a firearms expert. Pathologist explains wadding, stipple and why the entrance and exit wounds were as they were.... Just hideous.
@@susanstephenson648 Ok…I did get part way through the second day with the lady pathologist, but honestly thought I was going to be sick. I’ll have to go back and rewatch it. I totally missed Mr Greers testimony. Thank you. 😊👍🏻
I didn’t even know anything about hair (evidence) in Maggie’s hand. ✋🏻 I haven’t been able to follow the whole trial,thanks for the information Warmom!
@@Pippie807 I think I heard the 1st responding officer, on his body radio, speaking to other responders that night say to each other something about Maggie’s hair being everywhere (when they pulled sheet up for some reason). This was a 30+ min video shown in middle of story. If I find it, I’ll reference.
When you see a lawyer like Dick Harpoon playing with his phone during this important testimony, you know they don't care. Maybe some respect for the witness might be in order?! That's the point though, isn't it? They had no respect for any of them, they just tried to make them out as idiots, when in truth they paid $400 per hour for their's and they hadn't seen the crime scene or done the post mortems. It's almost like they thought they didn't really need to try a great deal, they would just steamroller the witnesses and the jury would buy their concocted stories. I guess that's what staying in a luxury hotel will do for you. The prosecution was in a budget hotel and actually did some work. The irony is that AM is the one being fleeced by this so-called, 'dream team'. It's one of the worst defences I've ever seen. Now, in a show of absolute contempt, they are trying to pay for Murdaugh's appeal using money set aside to pay his victims. It's shameful and what you would expect from a psychopath and his seemingly psychopathic defence. If that is allowed to happen, the law is an ass.
I will never understand this. How can you kill your own child? And with a shotgun!? I don't think most people realize just how devastating a gun shot wound is with a shotgun compared to a handgun or even a rifle. It explodes. It destroys. Poor Paul man my god. I just can't wrap my head around it. Regardless of what Paul and Maggie were like they still didn't deserve this and by Alex of all people. They both knew who was taking their lives as it happened.
To me it's looking like he's gonna be convicted. Should've made a deal with the prosecutors for a life sentence rather than to sit back and listen them present his whole corrupt crooked life with finances and being desperate enough to kill his wife and child. They might be able to get the death penalty.
7:46 Hold the phone; WHO is standing there BAREFOOT? Can someone explain that? Bizarre at best 🧐 This professional did an amazing job explaining in way that can be easily understood. I still have a brain bleed over the DNA gal...octillion nanotillion decitillion...like wow, I couldn’t follow that at all & wish she dumbed it down to an 11th grade level! 🤷🏼♀️
Not a real person….Dr Kinsey testified he inserted THIS FAKE PERSON to show his opinion of place where Paul’s was standing @ first shot. (Look real close & you can tell legs really have no shape & fake.)
My opinion on how the second shot to Paul went down and why it seems the shooter had to bend down or be a short person -- The space in the dog food room were Paul was standing was very small, so the shooter walks up ,shoots him and then backed out of the feed room right outside the door, squats down and when Paul gets to the door, the shooter takes the kill shot.
I think, he did not expect Paul to live, Paul walked towards AM, AM walking backwards, falls over the doorway, second shot upwards into Paul. kill shot. I wonder if Paul fell dead on him

Seems so professional hits to the brain.
These killings were ultra personal. They weren’t committed by a paid goon or someone who had no feelings about the victims.
Do you hear me, Alex?
Is there a nice way to shoot someone?
@@troyleenewgent9013 I agree but what I meant was that they suffered more before they died. There is not nice way to shoot someone but some bullets; the way they enter your body are design to do more damage to your insides and cause more suffering and pain than normal bullets.
I don't know how, but the witnes' southern accent adds so much to his credibility on top of his obvious competence. I'd buy anything he'd want to sell me xD
That pooter lawyer is going to put on the biggest bs show anyone has ever seen.
Mr Magoo / kangaroo court lol
Poot has been letting Big Jim do the lifting so far as he is saving his energy for the Dramatic Defense side of the story!
Alex face says “My goose is cooked.”
He probably never imagined that he would be in this situation. No accountability in his life until now.
He’s looking at the photos of all that blood and he keeps chewing. You can see Paul’s fragmented skull.
I wouldn't be able to if that was my child. I'd be shaking, crying, and more than likely screaming.
The way Alex M is eating mints and moving his mouth is an emotional sign that he is probably hiding the true
I'd love to know what was going on inside of Alex's head as the forensic Dr recreated what Alex did to Paul & Maggie?
He looked green around the gills and was at one point shaking. I don't think he realized how much damage he did to Paul and Maggie. Maggie is the one that he showed more emotion to during this hearing, not Paul. I think Paul is who he really meant to kill.
@@shawnnewell4541 Oh wow..who knows! What state of mind he was in if he committed this crime. Seems to me that both Paul and Maggie had a lot of anger directed towards them. Seems the shooter shot them in a way they would know who was shooting them.
Talking about his son being dead and ass Alex eating mints. WOW
Buster was eating something too.
They have not stopped chewing since day one .
I think he is chewing tobacco.
Eating and chewing is a sign of hiding the true
That monster was probably eating candy as he was killing them! Cold as ice! Buster as well! Shame on him! He had a loving. Caring mother most only dream of! Alec is just an entitled, self centered. POS!! 💩🤬🤥 Discusting people😢
Paul in centre of feed shed, Shotgun sticking through the open door pointed at you, how damn frightening, & to see who was pointing it at you😈 stumbled to the door opening only to have his brains blown out, then onto the next victim, Monstrous.
This expert witness solved the case for me. I would absolutely watch a movie he was in. I felt like I was watching Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, I was captivated.
I can say one (of many) things about this guy - he loves his job!
Just thinking about the terror that Paul and Maggie were feeling as they were being murdered is heartbreaking and for them to know that Alec was the monster holding weapons that were taking their lives! Just heartbreaking! 😢
Whew…I can see why Alex was probably shocked when Paul didn’t fall down dead immediately! He was a strong kid, no doubt.
He is so absolutely amazing! He does not leave any doubt as to what happened! I believe that it was his experience and wisdom that removed any doubt as to what really happened ❤ Blessings to him 🙏 ♥️
I believe Alex is guilty with all the circumstantial evidence! Let’s see what happens.
Nothing in these small towns as far as law is written in stone. ,the entire town has been run by this family. I have seen completely guilty get off so yes we will have to see.
I don’t believe that a surprise video that records your voice at the scene of a crime, 4 minutes before it occurs, after you have stated that you were not there….is circumstantial. It’s as good as DNA…you said you weren’t there, your voice is recorded there, you were there.
DNA is also circumstantial evidence.
@@MaraCrocker DNA is not circumstantial evidence Mara,those days are long gone.
Thank God for everyone that worked on this case to ensure that Paul and Maggie's murderer was held accountable! It is so incredibly sad to me that a father couuld get so caught up in his own madness that he thought that murdering his son was his way out!
Another excellent witness for the prosecution. Can’t choose now between him and ms seckinger.
All it takes is one juror trying to gain favor with the murdaugh family to hang this case. The case should have been moved out of his home turf. When you have to cover a picture hanging in the actual court house because he's murdaugh legacy, it should have been moved. There was too much done in this case so as not to upset the murdaugh family. Even the police didn't want to "upset" the family. The case should have been moved, it just takes one, just one.
Well said Lexie. Plus all the players have known each other for years!
yup, and in these small southern towns that is how this guy got away for so long with everything.
Hey Lexi. I just wanted to say that even if there is 1 holdout, and its a hung jury, they will retry this case. Which actually may benefit the prosecution side by letting them fine tune evidence and or witnesses for the next trial. And yes! It should have been moved to a much further away, county. Cheers sweetie.
@@Julia-uh4li I get that but that swings both ways, they too get more time to fine tune their case. That would give Alex time to correct all his errors to fit the case just as he's trying to do with the snap chat video. And it also gives them time to assert their prominence as a family to try and scare the next jury so their will be at least one person to hang it too. I just think it was totally wrong to keep it in the county that he wielded so much control of. It should be moved. There's only so many hang juries before they stop trying the person. Blessings to you!
The tides have turned dramatically! No one wants or will seek the Murdaugh family’s “favor” anymore! Their name is garbage and their reputation is cringeworthy at best! This case has exposed the multi generational greed, corruption, favoritism, and gross injustices as their new Murdaugh legacy! I don’t see how the portraits taken down for this trial will ever be rehung in the courthouse! 🏛️
Mr. Murdaugh didn't show any signs of grief or remorse for his wife while the expert witness describes her catastrophic injuries. He was just blank faced. Nothing. But when the expert describes his son's catastrophic injuries he was showing grief and remorse. And at one point, I actually think I seen a few real tears. Hey I just said that he was "showing" emotions, not that they were real. I think that his face turns all red because he's trying to force the emotions. And that's only because he knows that's what's expected of him. Otherwise, he's a cold fish.
To have been an attorney/prosecutor all his life, he had no idea of the tracking from his/their phones and WHAT A DETAILED STORY OF HIS TRUCK!!!!!
So, Alex hunted Maggie down with the ride on, hit her with it, and then shot her. What!!!!! If you look at him, you can see right through him, psychopath!!!
I wish that somebody…a hell of lot smarter than me…can explain how a son (and a brother) could possibly sit in court and listen to detail descriptions of how their mother (and brother) were murdered and sit through it all as “dry eyed” as Buster did. I woulda been bawling my eyes out. But…I love my mother and brother. For all I know Maggie and Paul were just unavoidable obstructions in Buster’s life. At least that’s how he acts every time the camera pans to show him. I mean it has zero effect on him. I just don’t get it. Totally emotionless.
AM would’ve LITERALLY looked Maggie and Paul in the eyes before … …
At least his parents aren’t able to understand what kind of monster they created.
If you look into Alex’s dad, Handsome Murdaugh, it’s pretty obvious that he was a monster in his own right. A family condition.
Buster almost looks like he's happy?? Very strange. Mini Alex.
Buster and Alec are snacking on goodies while listening to how their mother, brother and and wifes brains were blown out!!! Absolutely Outrageous!!! So cold and creeping! Like their at the movies! So sad...😢
Coping mechanism 🤷🏽♀️
Oh god your blubbering isn't gonna win you any awards, just a "go directly to jail"
Pooter has been on his phone ignoring the testimony.
Probably , preparing the next case .
Thought no phones in courtroom?
This sounds like the Jeffery McDonald case. We know he was guilty.
How so? I don't see any similarities.
@@annconforti9294 Well, he killed his wife and child, blaming some random person...
@@karenholladay2612 Mcdonald killed his kids and pregnant wife, true, but other than that I see nothing similiar.
great witness for the prosecution. Such a truly crazy case.
12:28 Alex sister in the green, a few rows back & whoever she's with are so inappropriate. Laughing while talking about Paul's injuries. The same sister made all sorts of faces during the trial along with staring down Mr Waters. The whole family is gross 24:07 another laughing spell
I believe Alex was thinking about confessing, during this testimony.
He should have manned up and done so.
Wow DR. KENNETH KINSEY EXCELLENTLY EXPLAINED 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
23:45 you can see photo of Paul dead with his phone laying on his back pocket. Look at the top of the projector that waters is using he flips the photo over right after.
He is a great examiner
He eats a lot of candy
Ever time I see that pointer I get chills, back in my day our Catholic School Nun-Teachers, used those to hit us (for no good reason). Yikes!
I can believe it's give you some PTSD, lol. I had a nun in college who was by far the meanest teacher I had. By far. I think she got off on making people cry. Lol. And I didn't even go to a Christian college.
Janet Lee Marino that and hit us with the rulers with paper cutting edge and that giant dictionary over our heads.
Ugh the nuns were next level harsh and violent at my little Catholic middle school back in the day too! I got lifted off the ground by one arm once by one of them like I was nothing. Always hitting us with rulers and stuff too. Left nail marks in my arm when the one lifted me!
I cant imagine what Paul was thinking seeing his dad and that shotgun pointing at his head. What a monster he must of resented him for exposing him
Alex has seemed sort of down today with this witness, some days he's been smiling & carrying on with his attorneys, but not today. His face had a UH OH LOOK!
Paul suffered….sad….he most likely went into shock & severe pain after 1st shot
This guy is amazing
Obvious to me that the person who shot paul was walking backwards after the first shot and tripped over the raised door sill. If the shooter was laying on his back as Paul leaned against the door, it would explain the angle of the shotgun for the second fatal shot. It is common for people engaged in shootings to fall while moving backwards while shooting. Many shooting instructors will teach to always move forward or sideways while shooting to avoid the fall.
Alec and his attorneys look so defeated ! They realize this expert witness knows his stuff! They know at this point it's all over! 😮 case closed....😫🤡🤪
Vinnie, i watched your closing arguments and i don’t think you should have put that out there that Maggie said Eddie in the kennel video ( because your friend from FB pointed it out ) no way she said Eddie ! She said “ hey, he’s got a bird in his mouth” so now if the defense was watching court tv tonight, they will definitely use it to put in the jurors heads! Because they have no defense and grasping for straws at this point! And even if Eddie was there the universe knows alex was there too! Anyway i watch you every night, love you and love your show always ❤
RECOIL ! RECOIL! Why isn’t anyone talking about recoil of the shotgun!? If someone shoots a shotgun and they were not steady on their feet, braced for the POWER of the gun, it could knock the shooter backwards, even to their knees, if they were not fully planted on the feet as they shoot. Therefore…. Yes they would be shooting that 2nd shot to Paul from a lower angle.
Since he was very experienced with all type of guns, I don't think any recoil caused him a problem. I think he just lowered the butt stock down to shoot from the hip. Then the angle of the gun would match what this examiner showed in the photograph he took.
The evil in Alex’s eyes at 10:50 into the video is horrifying!
Happen to think about this when they discussed the time line. So if Alex didn't leave til 9:06 or 7 pm. One of two things would have happened. Either if he was at the kennel he would have been killed too. Or if he was leaving at this time he would have at least passed the killer in the driveway and possibly heard the shots.
This isn't the local prosecutor...this is the state Attorney General
Such an excellent witness. And, just another weird day in the life of the probable killer, AM.
I knew for sure he was guilty even without this testimony. Of course, the conviction has already taken place. I hadn't seen all witnesses so I double backed to this expert. Alex had to know his goose was cooked with this testimony. He hadn't even considered a murder suicide, but that was promptly ruled out.
The phone battery died /locked when Paul did...saving the video. Alex admitted taking the phone out of Paul's pocket
Alex said that the phone “popped out “ of Paul’s pocket when Alex tried to turn him over. I think Alex rolled Paul upwards enough to get the phone out of the back pocket. He was concerned about that phone but he didn’t know about the Snapchat video about Cash’s tail.
Everything and everyone was expendable to Alex I’m shocked he didn’t shoot and kill the dogs
i wish there was a 3D active reenactment to really be able to see how this might have happened. Does anyone know whether Alex and Buster ever took polygraphs and if so, the results? Where was Buster during the time of the murders?
Buster was in Columbia and they said he had a pretty solid alibi. In the bodycam footage from the murder scene you can hear Alex say to one of the cops "my other son is in Columbia can we get an officer with him?" Something along those lines.
I think I would have replaced a door that my son’s blood, etc had been on as well as the markings from the pellets that shot him. I wouldn’t have just washed and repainted the door.
guilty, guilty, guilty
So more than likely she saw her dead child before she was killed.
Dr. Kinsey reminds me my elementary school teachers... I'm from Taiwan and they always had the wood/bamboo stick on class to point and to beat us when we were not behaving.
So SAD to think there are SO many evil people living on this earth. Especially someone who can murder their own family. God....bless Paul and Maggie. Alex murdough will have his judgement day and it's not in the courtroom
Was the person/persons on the ground when they shot them?? It’s very odd that the trajectory on both is going up or in Maggie’s case straight into her head. So odd. Terribly sad….
Maggie was bending over holding her stomach .
Watch the all inclusive, detailed witness testimony of the lady pathologist.
Keep in mind that Maggie and Paul were both much shorter than their killer or killer could have been crouched (Maggie was only 5'1.)
Listen to the 1st AND 2nd day of testimony of the lady pathologist 2/14, 2/15 which was fantastic. Paul was ambushed in the feed room. He did not fall with the first shot fired. Maggie was clearly trying to flee when her son had been shot, his brains extruded.
Again, pathologist was amazing with her testimony.
Also listen to the wonderful expert witness, Mr Greer, a firearms expert.
Pathologist explains wadding, stipple and why the entrance and exit wounds were as they were.... Just hideous.
@@susanstephenson648
Ok…I did get part way through the second day with the lady pathologist, but honestly thought I was going to be sick. I’ll have to go back and rewatch it.
I totally missed Mr Greers testimony. Thank you. 😊👍🏻
Whose hair was in Maggie's hand? Has anyone said? Where is Chanley?
I don’t think they’ve said anything about the hair in her hand yet. Who knows if they will. SLED really did a lousy job at some things.,
I didn’t even know anything about hair (evidence) in Maggie’s hand. ✋🏻 I haven’t been able to follow the whole trial,thanks for the information Warmom!
@@janicecastellanos8091 pretty sure I've heard that a couple of times. Hopefully, someone will address it soon!
@@warmom2020 👍🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻 for your reply Marmom.
@@Pippie807
I think I heard the 1st responding officer, on his body radio, speaking to other responders that night say to each other something about Maggie’s hair being everywhere (when they pulled sheet up for some reason). This was a 30+ min video shown in middle of story. If I find it, I’ll reference.
Creighton Waters- 100% all in. Just wow.
Well if they let him off for murders at least they have the financial crimes to hold him to account!
When you see a lawyer like Dick Harpoon playing with his phone during this important testimony, you know they don't care. Maybe some respect for the witness might be in order?! That's the point though, isn't it? They had no respect for any of them, they just tried to make them out as idiots, when in truth they paid $400 per hour for their's and they hadn't seen the crime scene or done the post mortems. It's almost like they thought they didn't really need to try a great deal, they would just steamroller the witnesses and the jury would buy their concocted stories. I guess that's what staying in a luxury hotel will do for you. The prosecution was in a budget hotel and actually did some work. The irony is that AM is the one being fleeced by this so-called, 'dream team'. It's one of the worst defences I've ever seen. Now, in a show of absolute contempt, they are trying to pay for Murdaugh's appeal using money set aside to pay his victims. It's shameful and what you would expect from a psychopath and his seemingly psychopathic defence. If that is allowed to happen, the law is an ass.
Poot was being paid. He didn’t care.
I will never understand this. How can you kill your own child? And with a shotgun!? I don't think most people realize just how devastating a gun shot wound is with a shotgun compared to a handgun or even a rifle. It explodes. It destroys. Poor Paul man my god. I just can't wrap my head around it. Regardless of what Paul and Maggie were like they still didn't deserve this and by Alex of all people. They both knew who was taking their lives as it happened.
If Paul was your child, it makes a little more sense
Alex is looking kind of sick when the bring up the ATV. I’m guessing he didn’t think anyone would know about that.
Wondering what he is thinking when this terrible scene is described. Remorse, nothing?
To me it's looking like he's gonna be convicted. Should've made a deal with the prosecutors for a life sentence rather than to sit back and listen them present his whole corrupt crooked life with finances and being desperate enough to kill his wife and child. They might be able to get the death penalty.
What a monster Alex is and was there is no way he loved them buster should never talk to Alex again
Stupid Alex really thought he could kill the way he did and get away with it
7:46
Hold the phone; WHO is standing there BAREFOOT?
Can someone explain that? Bizarre at best 🧐
This professional did an amazing job explaining in way that can be easily understood. I still have a brain bleed over the DNA gal...octillion nanotillion decitillion...like wow, I couldn’t follow that at all & wish she dumbed it down to an 11th grade level! 🤷🏼♀️
Not a real person….Dr Kinsey testified he inserted THIS FAKE PERSON to show his opinion of place where Paul’s was standing @ first shot. (Look real close & you can tell legs really have no shape & fake.)
Digital legs, to explain where Paul was standing after the first shot
@@elsedutch4972 Thanks!
@@elsedutch4972 makes sense, thank you! It just totally threw me off...they could’ve put shorts on the kid, jeez!
@@CherryPi314 😂🤣
My opinion on how the second shot to Paul went down and why it seems the shooter had to bend down or be a short person
-- The space in the dog food room were Paul was standing was very small, so the shooter walks up ,shoots him and then backed out of the feed room right outside the door, squats down and when Paul gets to the door, the shooter takes the kill shot.
I think, he did not expect Paul to live, Paul walked towards AM, AM walking backwards, falls over the doorway, second shot upwards into Paul. kill shot. I wonder if Paul fell dead on him
