I met Alex Murdaugh briefly during the late nineties while working as a pyrotechnician. We shot the Fourth of July fireworks show for the town of Walterboro. Before the show Alex appeared out of no where and startled me because our launch area was cordoned off and no unauthorized persons were allowed to approach. He introduced himself as the solistitor and requested that we "slow the show down and make it last longer." He indicated that in years past the show seemed rushed and the towns people felt it was over too quickly. I told him I could do that as long as he understood this would keep the show from being synced with the soundtrack playing from loud speakers in the town square. He told me not to worry about that, he was the man in charge around there. We shot the show at about half pace and stretched a 15 minute display into 30 minutes. After the show he appeared again and thanked me and said the fireworks were much better than in years past. I remember shaking his hand and looking him in the eye and getting the unmistakable feeling he was somehow shady. My partner remarked that the tall red headed dude made him nervous. I had forgotten the whole incidence until I saw his picture on the news. After all these years my instincts that night were proved to be accurate. Whether it takes a week, a month or decades, people get what they deserve.
Wow that’s a interesting recall. Its a dark strange feeling when I look at him through a screen….its his eyes I cant explain it. Even his mothers caregiver called him awkward or something to that affect.
Did you feel the space around you change right before you realized he was near you?
After passing energy via handshake and looking him square in the eyes, Im sure the feeling you and your partner got from his wouldn’t be described as awkward. It would be darker than that.
Good thing u did stretch out the show cause if u didn't, I have a feeling you woulda ended up as a news headline later that night:
"Man dies in freak firework mishap on the 4th of July - Wife files 4 million dollar wrongful death suit against fire works maker and will be represented by Alex Murdaugh's law firm"
@@flaccidego4291Wow! Great thinking, 😀👍
@@djc6323 Being familiar with low country folks, I am accustomed to awkwardness. It was definitely darker than that. His presence and gaze were undeniably "unsettling."
@@flaccidego4291 Yep. And he managed to breach our safety perimeter and get within a few feet of me before I was aware of him approaching and one of our main responsibilities during set up is to keep watch and not let that happen. He definitely sneaked up on me. Normally I would have handled someone who did that quite differently but something told me to not mess with this dude.
Everyone thought this Jury was either too intimidated or too stupid to get this right. What an insult. They got it right and they did it fast. Bravo to all of them!
People from jury read/hear medias, social medias and so on. Don't forget that point
@@maxmat2874 Speak for yourself. Jurors in America are ordered not to "read/hear medias, social medias and so on" and most people have enough integrity to follow the rules. I'm certain this Jury did.
Half of the country has a less than 100 iq. Plenty of people think a video is required for reasonable doubt. Scary.
No they don't!
@@SnickasBah Got any evidence of that?
Judge Clifton Newman conducted this trial fairly and professionally, truly astounding watching Judge Newman navigate the twists and turns of this trial.
He was one of the worst judges I have ever seen and this case will likely win an appeal because of it. He let in EVERYTHING.
Agreed except for the fact that he bought Alec's drug addiction story. Nobody is taking 90 percs a day and going through their work day without nodding out or, ya know, OVERDOSING...
I live in the lowcountry, and work on Parris Island. It has been fascinating to watch all of this unfold. I was afraid the prosecution didn't have a strong enough case, but that video on Paul's phone was pure gold.
The prosecutors obviously didn’t have a strong enough case to fabricate that his shirt was blood stained. You got some serious issues with prosecutors down there. Good ole boys still doing their thing. Nothing to be proud of. Prosecutors looked nuts, half the time, especially closing arguments. Had it not been for the video of the dog they had a weak case. And then not getting evidence from Maggie’s phone …the person who was murdered ….I mean seriously…you think that was an accident.
@@candykane4271 I figured the prosecutors were purposely going forward with a weak case because they were in that good ol' boy network and it was a plan to get him aquitted.
Why is human desparity fascinating ?
The circumstantial evidence kept mounting until it was insurmountable. 1 video, 2 key witnesses and 3 phones exposed it all.
The phone information was bullshit. It didn’t prove anything.
I watched 6 weeks of this trial. Dr. Grande wrapped it up tight in 15 minutes! ❤️❤️❤️
Same here
Exactement 🙂
Did better at presenting a case than the prosecutors.
You should watch Kendal Rae video on them. Ifs like 40 minutes but there’s 6 different crimes I hope dr grande does more videos about each one
And he pronounced his name correctly.
It takes a high level of depravity and evilness to murder one's child and wife with no provocation. I'm glad the jury saw through his crocodile tears on the stand, and convicted him in such a short time
Motive. He had to make the boat case disappear. He figured the only way to acomplish that was to get rid of Paul. To save himself and the family name. He had Buster to carry on the family line. He didnt expect Paul would be shooting a video and caught his voice. He planned it well. He almost got away with it.
one of the jurors talk yesterday and said he had no tears, the jurors saw right through him he had no doubt
No tears just snot
As a mother, to kill one’s child it’s just a disgusting horrible awful unimaginable thing to do. I would literally rather have somebody shoot me than expose my child to witnessing someone else being shot, let alone them being in danger themselves. Who does that?!?
@@malabuha u r right About one thing… Paul recording that video I think was the smoking gun… Pun not intended… that led straight to his killer. Dead men can talk, thanks to iPhones, And this young man recorded something that proves his father killed him
Whenever a person is repeatedly elected unopposed, it's a clear sign that any opposition has either been bribed or frightened off.
Alex's house of cards was on the brink of collapse. Paul was criminally charged in the boat wreck, being sued by Mallory's family, the financial crimes were coming to light, Maggie had moved out to the beach house and maybe had spoken with a divorce lawyer. He wasn't going to let any of that happen. They had to go.
In what way did it make matters worse for him? He wanted them gone, probably because of money. Maggie’s sister testified that Alex was worried over the boat wreck lawsuits. Killing Paul might help him avoid paying that lawsuit. Maggie would’ve undoubtedly filed for divorce to protect her own assets when she found out about the financial crimes.
I don't think he ever wanted to be killed. He wanted it to look as if someone was after him the same way they were after Maggie and Paul.
totally agree
I agree this was the goal OR, if you listen to what Cousin Eddie said, Alex pulled a gun, they struggled and gun went off. One theory is Alex was going to shoot Eddie and frame him for the murders of Maggie and Paul.
Yes! That “suicide “ attempt was Alex trying to put the blame of the murders onto someone else. If he really wanted to commit suicide why not just OD on his drug of choice? Why pay someone to shoot you in the head?
And if he killed Cousin Eddie he comes out as a hero for getting the bad guy.
Agree, another scam.
I didn't know how the state could accuse this man of murdering his wife and child before I watched the trial. After listening to the EVIDENCE, it was extremely obvious to me without a doubt that he did murder them.
So many have only watched a tiny bit or none at all and say he’s innocent. This makes me so upset. They need to watch the trial instead of saying stupid things. He did it!!! 💯 evidence proves it!
@@Wohol1 exactly. They wouldn't say guilty unless they had a video of him doing the murder...even then they might deny it lol.
Same here. I found it hard to believe he could kill them, I couldn't find a reason he would do something like that. Then came Ms Shelly, Blanca, the kennel video and all the other evidence putting him there at the crime scene, and then his lies. I knew he was guilty after that.
I believe that he's 100 percent responsible for their deaths. I don't believe that he actually murdered them.
Didn’t the prosecution lie about a bloody shirt, when they were presenting evidence to the grand jury?
Your sarcasm - "killer workout" - always gives me at least one laugh out loud moment even in serious topics! Thank you!
I laughed aloud at that astute observation, too. Dr. Grande must be great at parties!
I’ve been waiting for this….and Dr. Grande you never disappoint. The introduction had me on the floor…”I will be referring to him as AleX.” Thank you Dr. G.
Your management of this multiple murder matter demonstrates your mastery of the mind and methods of manipulative monsters like Murdaugh. Well done as always, Dr. Grande.
Marvellous 😉
@@katherinekirkhope7804 I tried! I was inspired by Dr. Grande.😊
Dude is for sure guilty. The cell phone data nails it, and the fact nobody else's phone was in the area. Alex deserves his sentence of life in prison.
I suspect he either did it or hired someone. That's my view. Either way, he is guilty.
I heard a juror say that number one they didn't believe him and number two the fact that he was with them 3 or 4 minutes before they were killed sealed it for the jurors.
Nah, definitely innocent. He's just unlucky enough to be a white man, so he never had a chance of a fair trial in modern America. Kishi~shi.
@@JerdMcLean non-sequitur
@@JerdMcLean Troll?
Good evening Dr. Grande, Is that a new psychological disorder: “culpability evasion memory loss syndrome?” Also your summation of the Murdaugh “magisterial monarchy” was insightful. And thank you for the dry humor interspersed throughout these horrific murders….
Dr. Grande may have coined the name, but the disorder certainly ain't new.
His dry humor is everything 😂
Dr. Grande, congratulations! You put together a trial that took 28 days, in 15 min you gave us clarity and views of certain things that got overlooked, thank you, I enjoyed your video.💛💚💙💜
Alex knew Paul had to go. He was becoming a liability about to unravel Alex’s complex web of financial crimes and lies. Alex also knew murdering their son would put his wife right on his tail. He could shrug off the investigation of his son and claim it was ‘vigilante justice’ ( like he wanted us to believe) but Maggie would have hounded investigators to find her sons killer and all roads would have led back to Alex. It’s so sad all around. This specific family built their dynasty on fraud ( great great grandfathers suicide being bilked as a railroad accident ) and evolved into Alex thinking it was his natural right to do whatever he wished and never be held to any consequence.
damn this is a smart take i haven’t thought of
@@kayladenette2050 it’s my personal belief he could not get rid of his perceived ‘liability’ son without his wife. This also would have granted Alex access to Maggie’s estate money( if he was not caught). Money was an immediate priority and necessity for this man so even though Maggie did not have life insurance, she still had properties valued in the millions.
Perfectly explained!
I think she was also getting curious about finances and possibly divoce.
I think one of the "biggest" inadvertent "tells" on Alex part was his assertion that, while he didn't "do it", whoever did "was angry for a very long time and hated Paul" .... he was talking about himself, not some other. Paul brought all kinds of unwanted attention on both the family, and his pill use.
One of the most satisfying verdicts I've ever heard. Paul spoke from the grave with the video and cemented the timeline.
Paul was disgusting and when his own scummy father murdered him nothing of value was lost. Wife was a disgusting enabler. They can all rot in hell☺️
There's no satisfaction here. None at all anywhere to be found. It's just misery, sadness and broken lives everywhere. That's not satisfaction.
@@Ojja78 Wrong. I'm glad these disgusting people were wiped off the planet. These cretins killed animals for fun. The way I see it, the horrible father is somewhat a hero. His despicable son won't be able to kill animals anymore, his wife won't defend him, and he put himself in prison and will die in there☺️
The footage of the beautiful house and property when jury visited crime scene was sad. Alex had everything and yet managed to bring down a 100 year old dynasty within a few years.
The question is, why did he do it (run down everything and murder his wife and son)? He seems to have a huge psychological problem. Murderers usually had a childhood that was either totally spoiling or rejecting, in any case without love.
@@violax3467 Yes that's a really good point
@@mkm6458 Thank you.
There are still plenty of Murdaughs around including oldest son of Handsome, named Randy as all the firstborns were. And they still have plenty of money and power too. Alex just took put himself and most of his family, the black sheep of the family.
I can appreciate what you're saying, but as a city person, my only thought was, "All that money and such a boring life".
Mr Grande...I hope you know how loved you are by many of your subscribers and ppl who watch you on here. I appreciate all your work into putting one video out per day, and the shorts you have been putting out. Takes a lot to research, format, and edit these videos and you are definitely appreciated by many!! Your videos are very informative, interesting, and love your dry humor!!! Thank you for being here!!
That's Dr. Grande, Roxanne.
You don‘t have to put on the red light
@@plaza2767 😂😂omg that's funny...first time I've ever heard that said from someone commenting on RUclips..made me laugh. I hear that in person all the time. Usually every time I meet someone and I tell them my name, the first thing they say is "Roooxxxxaaaaannnene, u Dont have to put on a red light" 😂
Genius! You summarized 6 weeks of testimony in 15 mins! Bet those jurors are really pissed now!
As someone who built their channel telling this story, and as a fan and subscriber of your channel, I'm super excited to watch this!
I’ve watched your channel! You have a great series.
Kudos, Eric!
I've watched all your videos on the case. Are you now going to go after the SLED agent or agents who lied to the Grand Jury, which would be a good thing to do in order to protect the rest of us from corrupt investigators? How does it make you feel about the law enforcement agency in the state that SLED not only lied to the Grand Jury to get Alex indicted, saying they had evidence he did it that they did NOT have, but they also did such a terribly sloppy job of preserving the evidence at the scene of the crime, that if it's true that Alex didn't kill them, then two cold blooded murderers are loose somewhere in the state. I think Alex is a slime ball and deserves to be in prison for life for what he did in his financial crimes, but if he wasn't the one who murdered his beloved wife and son, then "all y'all" down there in the low country or anywhere in the state had better watch your backs! If law enforcement are allowed to lie to the Grand Jury, which is a serious federal crime, then none of us are safe from spurious "evidence" against us in court. This is a sincere question.
Hey Eric👋👋 love your channel and the Netflix documentary!! ❤
Your deep dive into the Murdaughs shady dealings was excellent Eric
"Hungry because he had a killer workout", "culpability evasion memory loss syndrome", two lines that had me literally laughing out loud. 🤣
Excellent summary of a very complicated case. Thanks so much for daring to wade thru the timeline data. Love your commentaries!
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating on what could be happening in a double-homicide like this.
😂
It sounds incredibly stupid but it's to cover his ass from the courts. I get it
Love this
@@Metroid250 I don't think it's stupid at all! I just like using it as a springboard for humour.
@@KMWeir Thank you!
Paul was recording dog Cash tail, it had a wound on it. He was going to send it to his friend who owned the dog. We heard Maggie saying on the video, in the background it could be heard she says, "its a ginney" and then we heard Alex in background as well, telling Maggie, "its a chicken!" (their dog bubba had a habit of cathching them and it was in the Bubba's mouth. Without the chicken, cash the dog's tail being video'd to send to Paul's friend to show the wound on his tail and without bubba chasing the chicken and having it i his mouth, Alex would be walking on this crime. Thank you Bubba, Cash, and the chicken! Alex's goose is cooked!
and BUSTER PERJURED HIMSELF for nothing as murderer daddy admitted it was him on stand. JUSTICE STILL PENDING.....
GUINEA FOWL, fabulous birds to just have around...eat bugs, " watch" animals
What about all the people he put behind bars being addicted to drugs ? 🤔
Paul, is the one who said, "it's a chicken".
At what time according to you did the crimes occur? And according to the timeline in how long did Alex bathe, change clothes, clean the scene, dispose of clothes and weapons? There is no time of death, they could have been killed long after that video.
I agree, guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It's ironic when you take a few seconds to think that it was actually Alex's son "Paul Paul" that first captured the clothes that Alex was wearing that night on the snap chat video and second Paul captured all three of their voices on the later video when he was videoing the dog. That second video did it for me it erased any and all doubt! I'm having a difficult time understanding how anyone can kill their wife and son but unfortunately it happens. Buster should be glad he was far away that night.
Alex killed busters boyfriend Stephen Smith so poor buster has to live with that . He's going to be traumatised for life
@@aislingsibeallyons3416 Yeah, it looks like a real possibility that Alex had something to do with Stephen s death and staged it as a hit and run. I'm not so sure why or how Buster can stand in support of his father after all that has happened. No doubt losing so many people in such a short amount of time and him being so young makes things more traumatic, confusing and numb. I hope he wasn't aware of his father's involvement in the murders.
@@5954ldydi money people are not like you or i. Buster has probs been brought up to value money more than morals.
The saccharine nickname Alex used on the stand for Paul to seem more like a loving father and husband was "Paw Paw" not Paul Paul and he used the nickname "Mags" for Maggie. I almost threw up when he said that.
@@aislingsibeallyons3416 Actually it seems more likely that an intoxicated Paul and one or more of his drinking and hunting buddies killed Stephen and Alex and the grandfather made sure it was covered up.
This family is a real wild piece of work. I watched the show and told my family secondhand and they were just flabbergasted. Can't even imagine this. It's definitely movie material. I hope Stephen will get justice.
Rumor and innuendo
How does a man who had so much decide to do this? To slaughter his son & wife? Was his love for himself much more important than anything else? What a tragedy. The motive is really strange but I guess motive isn’t truly needed. To me it is obvious he did this dreadful crime & the jury got it right.
That's the point he looked like he had everything but he had nothing. Everything was about to implode. Maybe he killed him because he couldn't bear them finding out who he really was? Or on second thought she may have found out who he really was and this was his response, if you snooze you lose he may have thought.
Heard the word SOCIOPATH? One who cares only about what he wants regardless of the rights or feelings of anyone else.
They’re called family annihilators and it happens more than you think.
I don't think he did it. Methinks he was wrongly found guilty and now despite the fact he didn't do it everyone is just gonna assume and decide he did because humans are tribal and have been gaslit into believing he is guilty by biased media. At least, that's what God told me last I ascended to His Kingdom, and destroyed His throne. Before my Apotheosis He decided to confide in me that Alex was innocent.
@@tartnouveau3652 Yeah, and wasn't there a case in California where a dude drove his family off a cliff, only for them all to somehow survive?
Thank you for condensing this story hitting all the key points. I can’t get over the fact that Paul and Maggie knew they were being murdered by Alex. Horrible. I can’t imagine their last thoughts.
After seeing a simulation, I'm not entirely sure Paul knew who was shooting at him, the shooter was outside the feed room, Paul staggered toward the door because it was the only exit and was shot again in the doorway; I can hope, anyway
No I don't think they saw it coming it was that quick. A bullet to the head is usually an instant death.
Blatant Terror!
maggie murder probably pushed her house keeper down the stairs ,, and paul killed a teenager called mallory and probably helped to knock off stephen .. they probably thought the same as the people they killed .. karma
@@kmgreves I agree. Even Maggie didn't seem like she care about Mallory. Watch the netflix special. Horrible family they are/were.
Loved that you put all the important facts in a timeline that is concise and very understandable. Thanks, as always, for your great work!
You’re the best Dr Grande! Simple and direct…love your magnificent, marvelously done analysis! ❤️
Dr Grande : your videos are incredibly insightful and in spite of the darkness of many cases you have an interesting style to lighten them each time
I have learnt a lot from you & im thankful for that
@@cliffbonds1472 Learnt and learned are two different spellings of the past tense of the verb “learn,” which means “gain knowledge or skill” or “come to be able to do something.” The spelling tends to vary based on whether you use US or UK English:
In UK English, “learnt” is standard.
In US English, “learned” is more common
@@dannyrose7635 Thanks for explaining small difference in UK English/spelling to the above commenter. Sadly and rationally, I assume most of these comments are smart as$es who foolishly think they know all, but maybe this isn’t the case here and this individual is really wondering (since there isn’t the excess commentary). I don’t really remember how I learned these little differences in US and UK English, but I don’t remember ever not knowing them, so maybe I should be less surprised when others don’t. I’m sure it was probably exposure to kids from there at a young age. Thanks again!
Absolutely, why can't they give us precise information details on the court tv or other podcast. Seems like they leave out very important details. I guess it's to keep me watching.
@@cliffbonds1472 Yes, he spelt learnt correctly...using UK English.
Alec blow Paw Paw's brains 🧠 out
I believe that if that kennel video wasn’t there , Alex would of gotten away with murder. People that don’t have anything to hide , hide nothing, and he hid the most damaging evidence and that sealed his fate. Before that video even though I felt he did it , I wouldn’t of been able to say guilty , but after the video evidence and timeline, I think that changed many people on the fence.
This isn’t true. Never ever volunteer information to police even if innocent of wrongdoing. You get the wrong cop and they’ll happily twist anything you say to incriminate you.
As the judge said, are there two Alex murdaugh..the one standing before him and the one that committed this monstrous crime. Did he kill them because he did not want them to endure the shame and disaster of all the financial corruption and the consequences of the boat case and he could no longer provide for them or was it a cover up and distraction for the upcoming proceedings. 🤔 Thank you for the insightful feedback.
I agree, if I was on the jury and they didn't have that video, I'd have to vote not guilty
@@cannibalholocaust3015 Alex twisted his own words. The cops didn't need to twist anything. Alex spun his own tangled web.
Thank goodness for technology!
Dr Grande is killing it with the alliterations. Lol. Comprehensive video as always!
Hidden True Crime just did a brilliant deep dive into the family structure of generational shame. Thanks Dr. Grande !
It's fascinating that he allegedly has a photographic memory and without refreshing his memory he could confidently say injuries and money stolen from certain ppl etc and then he couldn't remember what was spoken of during his families last dinner together 🤷🏼♀️ it was very convenient the details of things he did remember, without hesitation, and the things he just didn't recall because lying is hard.
Yeah, Narcissists are like that, the selective memory is strong 💪🏻
Well he’s been with his attorney going over all that for trial. Not defending him but I lost a friend to 5uicide and when I found him the police were asking me things like that and it is hard to remember.
@@bethanywhite877 sorry for your loss. I've lost many people and tend to remember most things esp leading up to it. I think what I find most intriguing with Alex though is the acting. For example, he said on the stand he saw them both, touched them both, saw Paul's brain etc. Yet, in body cam footage, he is repeatedly asking if they're dead. I understand the denial to an extent BC I lost my 11 year old to covid 3 years ago, and I still have thoughts that he's being hidden etc, BUT, bc the border was closed I never actually saw his body, I have never questioned if someone is truly gone when I've seen them gone. So, that footage of Alex asking that, knowing that he saw what he did, is very odd to me, esp since he was a hunter and would understand that anatomically you can't revive anything that has traumatic brain damage... Prior to the footage he had called 911 and told them they were not alive and that he had checked them both, which then contradicts the questioning if they're really dead. It's a horrible case and the way Paul's head was injured sounds like something from a horror movie. Even if you caused a wound like that I can't imagine it not making you feel ill. I truly believe Alex is guilty but I don't think he had any clue the damage that would be done to Paul and I'm sure that image truly does haunt him. If Paul died first I fully understand how one would decide to switch weapons after seeing that carnage. i wish they would've asked more to clarify that night. Like "after you checked Paul and Maggie you had to have had blood on you, did you wash your hands at the kennels? Did you change your clothes like the videos suggest?" Etc. One crime scene person said he was covered in blood the next day. Obviously we didn't need this info for a verdict, but it would've been nice to be able to fill in the blanks a little more. Perhaps Alex will eventually day everything that happened and what his thought process was.
@@MarisaAndChew for him to answer your questions, Alex M would be admitting guilt. This he has not done
I'm not buying the photographic memory talk. He doesn't appear that smart from what I can see. He bullied and bull shitted his way through life and got bailed out by his father for decades when the shit hit the fan. This time he got in over his head and no one could save him. Mallory Beach death was the tipping point.
I couldn't wait for your update!
Great video and analysis as always, Dr. Grande! ❤
I was not aware that Alex and Maggie were separated and she thought him inviting her over was suspicious. His change of clothes and lying about being there sealed the deal. The jury indeed got it right. Thanks again Dr Grande for your analysis and facts presented that I was unaware of.
No one testified to them being separated or about it being suspicious. Just the opposite, her sister testified that she was happy, lots of people testified to believing they were a happy family, except Buster. It seemed suspiciously missing from his testimony.
@@Cindy24412 it seemed like her sister didn’t want to talk about the separation but when she talked about Alex wanting her to come home because of his father, the idea that Maggie was asking her what she should do because she wasn’t sure about going to Alex really stood out to me.
Some things have to be decided on by both sides for what can be talked about, so my guess is that the separation was for some reason off the table. The roadside shooting was originally not to be discussed but then it was allowed in because it was an answer to other questions. I don’t really know how that works. Jurors should be allowed all the information.
She was living at the beach house and did call the friend about going to Mozelle and being suspicoius. Listen to Murdaugh Murders Podcast for the truth!
They weren’t separated? She just likes staying at the other property.. every single person testified that they were happy together. Even the states witnesses. Blanca and the sister tried to insert a few things that really weren’t relevant considering the timeline and hearsay. But there was zero evidence they were separated or unhappy.
@@judimoore1678did you watch the trial? It was explained why she was staying at the beach house.. she loved the beach. And his father was dying. That’s why he wanted her to come home. He said he always wanted her to be at home. There was nothing suspicious about it.
I love your analyses as well as your humor. JSYK John Marvin Murdaugh stated during his testimony at the murder trial that he was "proud that he was not an attorney." He has a Bachelor's in criminal justice but went into business instead of the law. He has an equipment rental business.
I feel that John will be the one to ultimately break this family's cursed legacy of generational fraud. Good for him.
Another interesting vid, thanks Dr. Grande!
Great analogies & commentary 👌🏻 Is there a waiting list for your counseling services?
“No one says about someone who died of natural causes: how did they go? Curved, straight or spiral?”
This made my weekend.
A classic!
All three are guilty of murdering the Housekeeper. Alex knocked her over the head and Magy may she rest in peace and son lied about her falling or tripping over a dog 👍👍
The case will reopen the fall is not consistent with the head injury they will soon find out. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY alex killed.
@@carlosvalentin856 This guy Alex Murdaugh seems to be a serial killer, not just a family annihilator......
She should have taken the elevator...
Great summary of a six week trial and at least 10 years of crimes and mysterious deaths surrounding the family. Wasn’t an easy task at all. I agree with you but thought sure the jury would be hung. So glad justice prevailed.
Great report !!! Always your analysis is amazing. 👍
Thank you Dr. Grande. You are always informative and even a bit entertaining.
The wit is so dry, if you blink you miss it!😂😂😂
Netflix did a very convincing docu series and revealing that Marvin Alex’s brother and Buster his son were filmed coming out of the grandparents house transporting guns and bringing them in the truck (most likely the weapons) They both lied on the stand before Alex confessed stp actually being at the kennel. They both said under oath that it was not Alex voice on the kennel video when everyone else said it was. Family of liars. Next trisl: Buster/Stephen Smith
Horrifying :(
Are they actually going to try Buster? I completely think Stephen's death looks suspicious in the light of all this, but I wonder if they have a case.
@Eric Allen who commented further down on this video captured that gun removal and posted it on You Tube. I hope Netflix paid him well for all his work.
Buster also testified that the family believed that Paul was not driving the boat, when everyone else who was there said that he was the driver. Entitlement, deceit, perjury.. this family is disgraceful through and through.
Wow..... why didn't the jury see this?!
Dr. Grande, I loved your wrap-up commentary for this video! Your alphabetical alliteration was altogether amazingly apt!
Outstanding breakdown of the case. Loved the closing alliteration!
“Culpability Evasion Memory Loss Syndrome”😂! Only you, Dr. Grande, could make a double murder so entertaining…
The most clear and comprehensive summary of this case to date. Thank you!
Paul and Maggie had both "deserted" Alex - ergo, he could use their murders to end his problems
It’s significant that the only time Murdaugh checked into rehab is after the murders of his wife and son. He could have addressed his drug misuse over the years but chose not to. He deserves everything he got.
It was after the faked suicide, two months after the murders. He had partied between the shootings, too.
I just LOVE your dry humour, Dr Grande! Thank you! 🙏🏻
I absolutely love your channel, I always get details from a case that I don't hear anywhere else. Thank you 💖
Another great analysis! You never fail to bring something new to each of the cases you look at!!!
Always wait for your spin on things...much respect.
As always, awesome podcast!!! ❤
Was waiting for this update, thank you Dr Grande! Especially loved the summary.
The way you kept going after you said “curved, straight, or spiral” 😂😂😂 I missed everything for about a minute and a half afterwards lol
Nice job as always!
Thanks Dr Grande. Have been enjoying your videos from Melbourne, Australia for many years now. Keep up the great work!
You have gone ABOVEANDBEYOND with this one! It is for the ages! I love the way you use language. Beautiful! Hysterical! This is going to be a REALLY tough one to follow. Thanks again, so much!! I look forward to more!
I love your channel..no frills..just the truth n the facts👍👍👍
Love the alliteration at the end of the video. Thanks Dr. grande!
There's an excellent podcast by reporter Mandy Matney, "Murdaugh Murders," who has covered the family for the past couple of years through all its twists and turns. She has had access to many sources both official and cases' (as in five deaths) related. Very interesting and well reported.
the murdaugh murders podcast is a deep dive into the family and all involved.. everyone involved in it deserves an award
Thank you, I will watch that next.
They said Busters name came up 12 times when investing Stephen Smith's case. Buster need to go on trial next.
@@sherielowe4256 He's certainly on the Murdaugh path for failure just like daddy. Got tossed out of law school for plagiarism.
Alex was not estranged from his wife. They just owned many properties. His wife preferred the other property.
Exactly , she was decorating the beach house, I expect lots of rumours circulate , that would have been motive for the state to use against Alec X
@@Laura-thf more $ ...and she had just found out a check she wrote bounced ...... I think she had 1.25 in her account when she died
Thanks for the analysis on this case. I live in Canada and there has been little news coverage on the Murdaugh family up here. You're the best Dr. Grande.
Little news coverage in Canada about the real criminals among us, namely Trudeau and his merry band.
Luv how Dr. Todd sprinkles in bits of sarcastic humor in his analyzes. Got to hang on to humor when dealing with so much dark subject matter.
I was really hoping you would review this case! Thank you!!!❤
I really enjoy your factual summaries and professional analysis of the topics presented. You are so professional and concise. However, I get such a kick out of your dry sense of humor. I'm always caught off guard and find myself laughing out loud. Thank you for your content and your time. You are a gift.
Wow! What a great round up.😊
Narcissists see their family as props. Many malignant narcissists aggressively pursue marriage & children. They are nothing but status symbols however and that’s how someone like this could do such a thing.
His son was a $30million dollar liability in his eyes. His wife became another liability because she had a heart and wanted to protect her son, even possibly accepting they would lose the comfort of their current life and have to start over ( housekeeper testified to it ). Really sad all around,
He said during the trial "she told me to leave". It was apparently in reference to how he ended up leaving the house and going to the kennels but the everything just clicked right then and there. She was leaving him, his life was falling apart.
Props and objects.. and if they get in his way ever, then they gotta go.. or if he feels he would benefit from them being gone, then they gotta go.
@@Herewearenowentertainus yes precisely. So many podcasts have been questioning what his motive is but it seems so clear because of everything you just said.
I also wonder about Paul. Was it only the boat accident? Did he take out his brothers boyfriend to save face? Was he around when Gloria had an accident? Guy seemed a whole load of shadiness himself. What a family
In 2009 I told my brother to his face that he was a Narcissist. To be discovered is the worst for a narcissist and they do what is called discarding. Now, we speak about 4 times a year. So sad.
Burden shifting. It is not the defendant’s responsibility to provide another suspect. It is the states burden of proof. Prior bad acts should never have been considered by the jury as proof of murder…it was for the limited purpose of motive.
Thank you for uploading, as always most illuminating. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia 🌻🙏
Ps. You're an amazing man. You're so genuine and wise and insightful beyond words. Thank you for your presence.
I absolutely love your analysis all the crimes that you cover chef's kiss to you muuah😘
great ep. I always appreciate the breakdowns of key points from cases you do plus the small jokes & jabs.
Great video, Dr. G. I watched the trial for 6 weeks and have had a lot of different thoughts/emotions. I've been looking forward to your analysis because it always helps me see things more objectively, logically.
One thing that's notable on the inculpatory evidence is that after Alex seemingly looked at Paul's phone, he made several calls to the friend Paul had been talking to. It appears he saw an active conversation had been happening and was trying to find out what the friend knew.
Or how to delete this evidence as well.
That was great alliteration at the end, Dr. Grande!
Thanks, that was excellent, consise & easy to follow...
As an English teacher, I love how you’re really digging in with alliteration 😅
With very few exceptions, his grammar and semantics are in the top 1% of RUclips creators. The young creators don't understand redundancy, verb conjugation, objective and subjective pronouns, prepositions, subjunctive mood, etc. They don't often use vocabulary of multiple syllables unless they are repeating a technical word, but "plethora" seems to have become a favorite across the true-crime community. It is so unfortunate that the dumbing-down of America has been so successful in destroying effective communication and the masses defy anyone who suggests a simple improvement/correction. Their response is a defensive attitude and attack on "grammar police" or "grammar Nazis."
Todd grande, I have watched so many videos about this murder. Your video hands-down has the best and clearest timeline ever. Thank you so much for that.
I like this vid. Good insight and great analysis.
Excellent analysis , thank you so much
He’s absolutely guilty. Thanks for covering this dr grande , I wish you could do many more of these out daily but I know even doing one takes so much times and research I’m just being selfish. I just want more!
I love your dry humor, I always get it. Also your analysis is spot on.😊
The fact he knew his dad was killing him before he died and the pain of being shot in the chest but the shock of ur own father about to blow ur brains out, it stays with you…
You might want to watch the three part series which I THINK ran on Investigation ID and is still available on demand. Paul was a monster who killed a young girl with his drunken stupidity and arrogance and then tried to blame his cousin, may have committed or participated in another murder, and enjoyed killing small animals from an early age. He was likely a budding serial killer. Don't waste your sympathy on him.
@@natekeyes2297 sadly I agree but in Paul's defense, he never had a chance to be a productive person from early life. Spoiled, enabled and one excuse after another from mom, dad and Grandpa Handsome made both boys subject to invincibility. Buster is flying a bit low under the radar and being protected by MSM right now but it will all catch up with him soon. The jailhouse phone calls tell me all the Murdaughs are complicit with their crimes. Justice was served!
@@natekeyes2297 Yup, I have no sympathy for anyone in that family
Nice analysis. One word. Monster!
I feel better after hearing this explanation from Grande. I feel more grounded. Thanks, Grande.❤
I greatly enjoy and appreciate your perspective and distinct ironic humor you interject into your videos Dr Grande. I discovered you during the Depp/Heard trial and couldn’t wait to hear your take on the Murdough trial. IMO 2 life sentences was too generous for the despicable ALEX. Sadly, I fear more is to come re: Buster and Steven’s brutal death.
Just watching Buster during the trial he appeared to be a sociopath just like his dad - hopefully they find the truth and prosecute if he did in fact do it
Analysis well put together!!
Thanks Dr. Large. Great video.
You are the mighty master of alliteration Dr. Grande. Love it!
Excellent analysis. I got more out of watching this breakdown of events then I did from watching the actual trial.
That summary was quite a feat of alliteration, Dr. Grande!
Yes!!!! Ty 🌞 😊 🙏🏼 🌞 how these gruesome cases can induce such pep after a tiring day...idk but along side British mystery dramas, Dr. G, you make these cases so interesting with just the right elements, plus the dark humor! 😊 ty
"curve, straight or spiral" 😂😂😂😂 So shady! i love dr. grande's shade style.
Where is that - I didn’t hear that part!
Alex was hungry because he had just had a “killer workout” ..
You are priceless Dr. Grande
I would just like to let you know that I enjoy your sarcasm in every video. Please don’t change.
