- “This has got to stop,” Alex Murdaugh’s attorney Richard Harpootlian proclaimed after asking the judge to limit prosecutors’ rebuttal witnesses. Judge Clifton Newman ruled in favor of the state, claiming the case is “so complex” he has to handle witnesses and issues on a case-by-case basis.

Well it takes a lot of rebuttal witnesses to counter the testimony of a guy who can lie for 16 hours straight on a stand
That’s the truth! I’ve always heard you can’t outtalk a liar. The state’s just seeking to keep up with and expose all those lies.
LINDA WADE...LOL ...well said...
@@70sladyalways25 yes, and today they sure exposed the whole kettle of fish...
What is this guy trying to hide
Murdaugh didn't have to testify for 16 hours if he hadn't lied for 15. All his lies unraveling took some time to sort out.
This Judge rules his courtroom with an iron fist in a velvet glove ....... always calm, never hostile BUT firm & clear in his address to the attorneys, jury, courtroom, etc. He listens patiently & respectfully to each attorney & allows them to speak to him without any interruptions. Our Judicial system needs more like him.
Harpootlian likes to tell the Jusge what to do. Judge not having it.
Harpo nice try 🤣
This Judge is a credit to himself and South Carolina.
Absolutely!
This judge is a joy to watch. Thank you Judge Clifton Newman for allowing justice to guide your decisions and not "time".
I am impressed with him. I watched his ruling on Cr 403 evidence. The man is a student of the law.
Well phrased✨✨
He really is
Defense cannot present an entirely new story from Alex and not expect more rebuttal witnesses.
Exactly
Thank You!
Manipulation at it's finest!
Waste of time. It's differing opinions . The jury should make up there own mind. The shooting as hooper pooper says is good but a slinging match between the pathology experts. Fmd poor jury.
Word. Up.
I think the judge almost felt that humorous that the defense was trying to order him. Lol
I love this judge, he’s very soft spoken but also strong in his judgements.
"i just have to deal with it" best quote from a judge rocking in his big chair ever.
His demeanor is very effective.
I want him in the Supreme Court!
And not korrupt
How ridiculous of this defence attorney trying to tell the judge how to run his court. This guy needs to retire.
Exactly….to tell a judge in his court room what to do is a big no, no. I like this judge, very professional.
He’s a Democratic SC Senator, not like he has nothing else to do.
@@sloan_005 State Senator
And get off the bottle.
I think he overstated his case a little, but in most cases, with most judges, you have to be bold and assertive as a trial lawyer. The judge isn't going to do either side's job for them, so if they don't raise an objection the other side gets their way uncontested.
The judge sustained plenty of objections from the defense that I found iffy, which just goes to show you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
So happy this judge is shutting down all of the defense’s notions to control the narrative by not presenting all of the evidence at hand.
I love this judge and his calm and non biased response.
He has to-this is being broadcasted to the world. He has to be on his best behavior;or the media will come after him.
I like him too. Let's ser what happens and then I'll really decide!
The judge is a very smart experienced professional...His behavior does not come into play..Either you know your busines or you don't He does, behavior is not even considered here ..
Glad to see the Judge stay firm to the proceedings & not allow the defense attorney to run the trial! Love it!🤗
“Bring the Jury”! Love this Judge!!
Love this judge. He takes these cases very seriously and not putting up with much shenanigans from defense.
This judge is a jewel. He is measured and far more intellectual than the majority of attorneys in that room. And he definitely seems to have the defense lawyer's number.
Judge Newman is THE REAL MVP no doubt!!!
This judge is so wise, a good listener and decision maker as are many other judges but I find this judge very special. Just love and respect him so much.
"im surprise by the number of witnesses" ...and the trail goes into week 7 but there is more to come ... and why not, usa money is digitally printing anyways (no one important pays taxes).
Exactly. He’s a wonderful judge
Me too...
Thank Goodness this Judge rules His own Court and not be swayed by fast talking Harpo and his pleas
"HARPO" too funny!
YES!!!
Defense: “We have a right to surrebuttal.”
Judge: “A right, sir?”
Defense: “At the court’s discretion.”
😂
The state just said the same thing.
Defense ..He’s a bully
Defense meant they have the right to reply. The law prevents the State, who has unlimited resources to keep retrying the case-and most certainly without citizens having the full opportunity to defend themselves from the State.
If this did not exist, citizens would be powerless against the State.
They do have a right, and for all our sakes you better hope that no more power is given to judges than they already have. A judge literally has the power to end a life both physically and metaphorically (in some states). It's already well beyond what their job was originally supposed to be in the design of this country.
Lol
If the defense wants to speed up the trial, they should stop asking so many questions trying to get answers they want.
And harpootlian making speeches all the time
Defense should shut up and sit down! He’s beyond washed up
and should recommend to the defendant that they don't lie!!!
Defense does not want prosecutors witnesses to be the last people the jury hears before they begin deliberations.
That’s not determined by the defense.
Is it not law the state gets the final say
The defense doesn't want their BS refuted.
Murdaugh killed his wife and son,if he gets not guilty,then he will still have to live with the horror of what he's done until and beyond his own death
Defense apparently has already told their expert pathologist that he may leave and go home and stop charging for his services. My personal opinion is that the defense pathologist was a little too obviously biased to suggest there were two shooters because "you just don't bring two guns to a murder". That's got to be biggest pile of B.S. I've ever heard.
I like this judge. He's a no nonsense, to the point type of person.
Agreed! He’s wonderful.
I love the judge!!!!
Clifton Newman is the judge’s name, he’s not “AM’s judge.” He’s Clifton Newman, the judge overseeing the case.
And this amazing wise judge has seen it all and he knows AM is guilty as sin
@@rhondasajjadieh7791 I agree!
I like this judge! He stays so cool, calm and collected!
Harpootlian is having a bad, bad day. Maybe he can sit next to Alex and they pretend cry together. Share the dry tissues. 🙄
If he's tired of all this, he shouldn't have taken the case 😆
😂😂
Harpo wants to Control everything , his tone of voice towards the judge , UGH
Anything less can be malpractice.
@@ailleananaithnid2566
Malpractice was representing Alex.
And Griffin too! Thinks he should get away with everything.
Maybe tarpon would just like to become a judge then he can run a shot show if that is what he wants.
Should be Harpo but I kind of like tarpon. Lol
This guy is amazing, his calm and know's what is doing. Judge Clifton Newman, that chair fits you good !
Judge was like " you are not teaching me anything new, man. "
Wonder how many experts the defense paid until they found the one that worked with their story? I don't give much credence to paid for experts.
This is exactly what a jury "loves"; a defense attorney who wants them to have less information to make a decision that is going to affect another person for the rest of their life.
This poor judge deserves a nice long vacation after this❤️
Right before the trial began, the judge had a son pass away. Maybe this trial is helping him get through that.
He’s not poor nor is he a victim
Defense behaves like defendant has executive privileges. The judge isn't taking any trash.
Sounds like he’s AFRAID of the Doctor 😮😮😮
I don't believe the defense team is arguing about the witness testimony ... I believe he is complaining because he didn't factor in a 6 week trial when he agreed to take the case for a set fee and imagined it would only take 3 weeks.
And probably has another big case waiting
@@SS11660 :
$3M divided by 3 weeks = $1M per week
$3M divided by 6 weeks = $500,000 per week
Lawyers are paid a basic salary plus Bonuses.
Judge Newman rocks!!!
I like this judge! He's not going to be pushed around!
I love this Judge and wish him all the best. He's so strong after losing his son so suddenly.
The defense is grasping at straws. They are demeaning to witnesses, they are arrogant in their requests/demands of the judge. Thankfully, this judge is never rattled, never shows anger, and is always fair-minded. Defense should be ashamed.
He makes me laugh just watching him. He's thinking, "I see, well, It is still up to me as to how I will proceed, but I'm willing to listen."
They are not ashamed…. They are the good ole boy bullies … it’s the only way they’ve ever won anything !!! Certainly they have zero talent as attorneys
The almighty dollar blinds those snakes to shame.
Good Ol' boy Harpootlian is just as offensive as Alex. He really does think that his opinion holds far more weight than any one else!
I think they were in on alot of things dishonest together.
So where was AM’s runny snot during all of his various interviews before the trial?? Seems like a faucet is turned on when he ACTUALLY cries!!
Love this judge❤
”And with that, I say BRAANG the jury!” Haha 😂
Looololol
It is all about creating a record. It’s counsel’s job to zealously represent a client’s interests. Objections on either side are “use it or lose it.”
It’s not counsel’s job to make friends with the witnesses or to stroke the ego of the judge. If I am there representing a party, my SOLE objective is to represent that party. It’s legal malpractice to fail to raise and objection you want to rely on later on appeal. I can’t go back later and raise an issue i didn’t preserve by raising it at trial.
These trials involve real people. Their lives are on the line. Their actions might be strange or odd to the observer but a lot of this is just standard procedure. 🤷
Cool as a 🥒
Love and much respect for this judge !!!
Your honor that's not allowed in our good ol boys club of lawyers. When a lawyer is on trial we reserve our right to go easy on him. Capeesh?
I don’t have much experience watching trials and I know very little about the process but even I, with my limited understanding, can recognize that this judge is wise and fair in his decision making.
This court is preventing Harpootlian from his nap time.
Yeah, it's time for him to retire 😆
😂
Defense lawyers are starting to lose money when the case goes on. They are ready for it to be over and get more money on appeals.
Alex called his son "paw paw" Hardened inmate at state pen will be telling Alex "I LOVE IT WHEN YOU CALL ME BIG PAW PAW!"
The defense is just worried the state gets the final witnesses. Assume they would be worried the jury will remember this as the last thing said. Assume it’s random who goes first and last at the end? No idea
The prosecution goes last, in questioning witnesses and in closing arguments.
This has got to stop??? Who is he to say that to judge !!!! Of course he doesn't want jury to hear rebuttal to his hired experts ridiculous claims.
1:00 “Right to??” 😂 Attorney like a schoolboy “Oopsy”
The defense drags out every witness
Wisdom… has spoken! (bring the jury in)💅🏻
Motive- AM was Maggie’s sole heir!! Had he not been caught, he would’ve inherited her estate.
He put properties in her name, but she was actually not a very well off person prior to marrying him, and she did not work. He made a million a year and I suspect he put the properties in her name for tax purposes. I did think that the properties were a motive at the beginning, but that theory went out the window for me when it was found out that he actually couldn’t get loans as easily once she was dead.
I wonder if people are as turned off by Harpootian as I am. I find him obnoxious.
I hope Alex didn't pay this guy alot cuz he is not doing a good job 😂
Sometimes it seems as if he does things deliberately, maybe he wants Alex to go down too.
@@hannakhan3982 Good point and I’ll send that “expert” witness a thank you card.
$8M for his defense team
@@lynnhoffman247 Really?? Wow
@@hannakhan3982 Yes, I heard today that it’s being paid for out of his IRA funds. Emily D. Baker talked about it this morning or afternoon…can’t remember (I had a long morning topped off with a 4 hour drive and was listening to her RUclips channel while working & then driving.)
Alex murdered them good run the bill up on the defense
Judge ain't playing no games with the defenses BS
I do believe this judge is of good stature and excellent at what he does. I doubt he would play games with the prosector or the defense. Calm demeanor, speaks thoroughly and looks like he can’t be bought. You are so right it is Defense BS
It was not a contact wound, but whichever it was, it was a fatal wound. That is what matters.
This judge KNOWS AM is guilty. Heck, anyone with a brain knows he's guilty.
This defense attorney is an entitled whiner.
I like this Judge, I’ve watched a few of his cases!
The judge is absolutely right. Never before has there been a case that is so very complicated and covering so very many issues. "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first (or begin) to deceive".
Harpootlian knew what his PAID “expert” was going to testify to in regards to the INDEPENDENT pathologist. He could have asked her about skin tags etc. he didn’t bc he wanted to sneak that by and thought the prosecution wouldn’t have a rebuttal witness to explain the paid lies away.
Know your place when you are in court room and the judge is a honest and non committed person of the Murdaugh clan. Don’t try bending rules to fit your own narrative or beliefs. Get a grip and take it as it goes. Murdaugh family has no hold over judge. T G 🙏🙏🙏💕.
Kudos to the Judge!
The iron clad defence. Judge we dont need to hear any more testimony from experts showing our last minute evidence is obviously wrong. gosh, how dare they lol
I really enjoy Judge Newman.He is calm and layed back.He is fair and doesn't placate the defense who are insufferable .
Wonder if Alex if found not guilty will go on a quest to find who killed his family and spare no expense in that quest?
AM soll einfach nur die Wahrheit sagen.... dann ersparen wir uns den ganzen Prozess.
How unsettling though that all of these 'experts' opinions are completely different. Unless it costs upwards of $600 an hour to sell your soul and just say what you're asked to say.
Yea there’s people who just testify for a living
That’s exactly what they do. In my opinion, if you get paid to give your “opinion” at trial but that “option” is given to you by the defense in the form of green paper then you aren’t a credible witness. If that makes sense. 🤣🤣
I always thought they hired the “best person” for their case…I can’t recall a time when I’ve seen an expert sit on the stand and blatantly contradict or go against the team they are working for so to speak?
For $600 an hour, I’ll sell my soul. But all jokes aside people need to be paid a job is a job
That is the name of the game.
This judge is eating every bit of this up!! 😂😂😂
I Love how he’s calm but he’s a No Nonsense Man! That’s right Judge Clifton🙌🏽
You said you have the “RIGHT?” 😂
Jeez, Senator. Sit your butt down. You're not doing your client any favors.
This is one of the things that I hate about our legal system. Arguing about how much information the jury can hear. The jury should know the whole story.
They are refreshing the jurors ! Good play !
I love this judge.
The judge runs a tight ship, respect 👍
Harputtlian: there were one shooter: Alex is the one who did it! GUILTY!
Love this judge! …and we that “bring the jury” ❤
Quit your whining. It's not going to fly.. if your case is so great you would not care if it's 2 or 7 witnesses. Get them on the stand and get it over.
The length of the trial should have nothing to do with this case. The motives of both the defense and the state are obvious. The state has to reveal all the evils AM is capable of, whether regarding to addiction, stealing money from innocent clients, or murderous intent. The defense has to create reasonable doubt. IMO the state has a bigger mountain to climb than the defense and should be allowed all the time they need. A murderer cannot be let off no matter how long it takes.
I mean you opened the door for the rebuttals
evil Murdaugh
Love Judge Newman!!!!!!!
Alex and his merry little band of lawyers get taken down every time.
I'm a retired maintenance man and it seems to me that the law can have precedence over truth. Can a murderer go free if the procedure in the courtroom was botched?
Innocents gett life too... one defence lawyer got threatened by a cartel and a little Indian guy is serving life after the toad dl offered no defence.
US trial procedure is a good system, but imperfect.
If the appellate court finds that the trial judge made a mistake, the defendant gets a new trial but doesn’t go free.
For example in my case the cops pulled me over but cannot convict me with the felony charges they claim. As their only evidence was gained from a falsified traffic stop.
There’s tons of ways to botch a trial once you’re in court. Some legal mishaps. Some illegal tactics.
@@AnotherOpinionatedIdiot Thanks for your and others who responded. I came from Germany and have served in the US Navy... our system does try to be without fault and I believe that our system is far better than anything else I've seen in my travels. The ultimate test we all face is when we stand before God
Love this Judge
The jury is entitled to as much information as possible to make the right decision. The defense is just eager to wrap up...weird.
There were not 2 shooters he set it up to look that way...
Okay. How do you think he killed them so fast / cleaned up so fast then? 4 min. Genuinely I just don’t see it
@r d because he's lying about how long the ride was, dinner was and everything else he said they did. He killed them earlier probably, as it was said exact time of death couldn't really be determined.
He couldn't have killed them earlier. They were both alive on the kennel video at about 8:45.
@Joan Tinker true. But he still had more time to get prepared to kill.
This judge is soo coool
Sooo happy to see this judge was not already bought by AM 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love this Judge. To long the good ole boy system has allowed the privileged to get the upper hand.
Maybe if Alex didn’t repeat every question to buy himself calculating time to answer the question so he doesn’t slip up and show his guilt then they may be further ahead. And maybe if Alex didn’t have so many offences and lies to work through the case would have been faster. So guilty.
Alex Murdaugh - Guilty as Sin, folks.
we spent two weeks on financial matters because your client stole money and lied about it for years
I love you judge. Shut the bulldog down and brangggg the jury!
Defense crying this morning. Boohoo pooty.
The defense team should donate their fees to Alex's victims. More money wasted on this disgraced lawyers trial
i love this judge
I know I have stated it multiple times but I love this Judge!!!
