This dude is professionally evasive.
Spot on 👍
He's an X-Lawyer!
Well, yeah. He’s been doing it for like at least 20 years, probably longer.
He's a lawyer, what do you expect? 😂
And probably genetically…
Anyone else be playing this in the background to fall asleep too?
1am currently, what do u think😂. The other night i listened to brooks' trial. His trail was like a train wreck
hahaha, am with ya...
@@Iambatman_27what's brook's 1rst name?
Yes! It’s been two weeks and I’m still on his cross exam
Yeah but then I have nightmares lol
- “Is your hair red, Big Red?”
- “I’m not sure, but I have no reason to dispute that.”
1st place
Strawberry blond. Buster 's is flame red.
@@BrigitteGoodman more like dirty blonde.. not stawberry.. its light greying ginger.. im strawberry so i know!
He'd have to repeat the question first, buying time to formulate the appropriate response.
🤣
This “Paw Paw” stuff is making me gag. Love how the prosecutor called him out on that
never heard him use that term in any interview with detectives
what's wrong with that?
He sounds so stupid when he keep sayin paw paw
@San Geet -it’s a term of endearment for the victim from his murderer, so it’s offensive. He should only use his formal name, not some nickname to make it sound like he was a loving father.
@@IUsedToFloat boohoo. he called them that most of the times he called them anything and that's what comes first to mind when he talks about them. Are all people called by their full names in courts. Moreover, the whole trial is about him claiming he isn't the murderer, if that slipped your mind! "offensive" "endearing" to you? too bad, deal with it - it's between him and his
Those badges are the physical form of "Do you know who I am?"
Mr Waters sarcasm is awesome
Waters out lawyered the hell out of the defense hands down. Murdaugh sealed his own fate when he took the stand.
That kennel video sealed his fate.
Trying to pretend like he doesn't know the answer to the question. Then he starts answering questions that weren't even asked.
CLASSIC behavior of someone who is 'guilty'...
Classic 🐂 shitter. Lol. Sadly he thinks he's good at it. At sentencing he will still be saying he's innocent and he's gonna appeal. Wonder where he ranked in his law school class ?
He is an Idiot and 🙏 So Hard for his guilty conviction. Entitled greedy POS. Oh and watching the Netflix doc.....Maggie was no better. She was a self absorbed. Mother who loved her money and status and....drank with her kids. She must have been a Capricorn.
@@colenexoxo8939 she knew about a few murders and definitely the stealing of money. I also don't feel bad for buster either. I think he'll goto jail soon too. The whole family is evil and can all burn in hell. Even the corrupt ones who still know about everything and are gonna live happily ever after . Will we ever hear what the uncles , cousins, brothers etc did also ? Probably not.
That’s always his MO, he distracts with details that are unrelated and don’t matter. His entire time on the stand with the defense was nothing but that and so was the initial discussion with the first cop and the next few times too. I’m sure it’s how he dodged financial questions from clients as well.
Watching Alex testify is exhausting 🤣
not if you're trying to fall asleep to it.
He’s just so unbelievable. Finally, he must answer to someone that isn’t in his damn back pocket. The level of inauthenticity is staggering!!
He just plays to the SC people his family has controlled for over a century. It’s disgusting. This narcissist is going to get away with double murders because his family has owned that uneducated county and jury
I don’t mean to be hateful-
We have no clue who us on that jury. But they are from that county.
I think he’ll get off
I hope he gets bail and goes home.
He won’t come back.
I’m almost 5’3
Never touched or shot a gun in my life. I fuckun@ hate guns.
I also hate my rapy pa and I hate Alex Murdaugh.
YES!
@@oliveoil4380 😮😮😮😮😊
Can you imagine the secrets this man has? If he came clean, it would shock even his closest friends.
Seeing that he killed his wife and kid I’m not sure how much more shocked one could be…
Like the sex trafficking
Yep, Even his Lawyer DICK DICK
More shocked than they already are
Not only Alex, but I’m sure his dad has a ton of secrets that he kept to the grave.
Him calling Paul, Pau Pau is disgusting
I’m pretty sure I heard on his phone he has Paul as “Paul Paul”
But yes he never refers to him like this in all the interviews only in the stand
@@workingonmyroar7944 Something he could have easily edited in his contacts before he turned over his phone. He took the time to delete phone calls and a video chat with his wife before they asked for his phone.
@L P
Yes! I just saw recently that he wiped his phone clean after the murders.
I had no idea he did that.
It was also noted that his cell phone he had in the car with the investigators had a factory set screensaver on it.
He’s trying to seem affectionate towards his son
🐾
“I don’t dispute that I stole money.”
Oh gee, what a good guy. You’re forgiven!
Common strategy for liars. They will admit to something very bad, so that it is more believable when they don’t admit to something else that’s even worse. Oldest trick in the book.
he was indeed forgiven for over a decade, because he made money for his clients and for his ungrateful law firm. This prosecution team never lied (they are elected!), never convicted on false grounds (they're lawyers!), never made scapegoats to pose as good guys while not having evidence. You aren't forgiven for getting flushed down by this prosecutor's irrelevant repeated questioning
He’s not asking for forgiveness. He’s being asked about stealing money, so he’s plainly stating that he did it.
@@lorrainejackson7989 uhm, the entire case is a murder case to which je plead not guilty. He already paid back or had the firm pay back money he stole.. so idk what you’re talking about
@@ChemCorps I know. You’re taking my comment too literally . . . .
I mean, the absolute liberty of having blue lights put on your vehicle so you dont have to be stuck in traffic LOL unreal
That’s soooo common in government. We had at least one known city official who did this where I live. I’m sure there’s many others but this one guy was caught during a very severe DUI situation. This is just one guy from one small town in one state. It’s common everywhere.
Who wouldn’t want to have a Badge and Blue lights in their vehicle. Everyone of these Crooked Lawyers would luv it.
I h ave seen policemen do this all these people abuse their power when they have money . Just like they are paying politician people to make laws to control ,screw the rest of us for money then just like this make themselves above them
lol he isn’t the only one-many take advantage of their jobs
Cops do it all the time he's not only one doesn't make him killer
"I don't remember how Evil I am and could you please stop bringing it up over and over again? really this is outrageous the way you keep asking ME about it " LMAO
Ol Alex couldn’t take that smirk off his face when the badge came up….until they showed video of it in his pocket at the hospital. BOOM 💥 One of my favorite moments. Creighton Waters was masterful.
OMG right?!!!!!! 😂🙌
I love the surgical percission that Waters used with the badge to prove Alex is a liar. It was masterfully done. 😂
Amazing how he can remember his entire family history but can't remember the last conversation he had with his wife and son the day they were brutally murdered.
He has chosen to block that out. He didn't forget. He don't wanna go there in his evil mind.
Selective memory. He doesn’t want to come clean.
@@chasityyoung815 I think he likes the sympathy he gets from his family who still believe he's innocent. He is beyond evil to do the things he did.
@@PositiveMommaLife no he doesn't. You'd have to have remorse to confess and he doesn't have an ounce of love in his heart.
@@lp6196 His older brother has chosen to have no contact with him in over a year which tells me he no longer thinks he's innocent. I think as time passes, the rest of his family will come to realize that he's not only a self admitted liar, cheat and thief but a murderer as well. I don't see Alex ever admitting to killing his wife and son as that is just plan 'unforgivable'.
He keeps saying he "misled." he LIED. This guy is awful.
Lied and misled are synonyms lol THAT is what makes you think he’s awful? 😂
All severity softening language:
- "wrongfully took" instead of stole
- "hurt" instead of killed
- "misled" instead of lie
My favorite is “well, I guess I consider that a lie by omission”
He thought every question was a trick, and tried to figure out how to answer them and made himself look so guilty
No, that’s not accurate. He’s an attorney, specific words matter. They all lead down a different path, so he’s not letting the prosecutor use certain words to steer his answers in those directions. Pretty expected from an attorney taking the stand, really..
Pretty obvious to me, he thought every question was a trick
Accurate Kevin. His body language say it all! Lol to the disputers.
@@kevinledford8260every question is a trick. That's why you don't talk
And sometimes he couldnt even hold back a smirk!
Creighton Waters, is a wonderful man, who really deserves praise, for his handling of the murders, and the way he confronts Alex Murdaugh.
He’s an ass
"I took money that wasn't mine, I shouldn't have done it, it didn't belong to me" x 1,247!!!!!!😡😡😡😡
Drugs didn’t cost that much! It’s his lifestyle. Seize all his properties and sell them to compensate for all the clients he stole money from. Stealing money is his addiction
2000mg of oxy a day is only 72k a year if you pay like a dollar to the mg
Majority of the money he stole from clients, was used to pay his 6 figure credit card bills, utility bills, cash, car payments, some was paid for a private flight to a ball game, this family was living way above there means! The boat accident happened way after he started swindling money from clients he has been doing that shit for years
If he was high on oxys to any great extent he would have never been able to function as he did. He's full of it, the bulk of his theft went elsewhere.
@@dormiebasne3578 I agree! Drugs aren’t cheap by any stretch. And along w/ the lifestyle he was living as well. That gets expensive VERY quickly!!
@@jessicadavis4163 you cant tell these people anything that reverts away from he has money stashed, that's what fits their narrative anything that doesnt fit their narrative they argue about. It's obvious they were living way above their means, plus bills, plus his drug addiction
Viewing this a day after his sentencing, AM is creepier than ever to me. Thank God for that jury.
Ditto
Restored my faith in the jury system.
Exactly.. he is a master manipulator.. I can't imagine having to deal with this man at home or at work or socially on a daily basis. He bulldozes everyone and is exhausting. Makes you throw you're hands up and concede
He is a danger to society. But his inmates are gonna give him a taste of what he did to other people for decades.
@@acm6085 He's what some call 'slick' back when the term was derogatory unlike today when bad means good and a man can be a woman, adopt a baby and claim he/she's a mother too. lol Don't get me wrong as if a person is mentally and financially stable with a loving family and caring friends and the choose to become a transgender such as Bruce Jenner did, then by all means, go for it. All of his kids are on their own and he's divorced so I say good for him who is now a woman and enjoying the rest of his life the way he wants to as an Empty Nester living alone at last! lol
“You stole settlement money from a paraplegic”
Alex: “No sir he was a quadriplegic”
Let's not minimize my ruthlessness
🤣
😂😂😂😂
I couldn’t believe that, evil dirt bag. No remorse.
I don't know why I keep coming back to watch Waters whoop his bottom... 🤣
He’s just repeating the questions before answering! It is making this so frustrating. I feel for everyone in the courtroom 😅
I have heard so many times that people repeat the questions because they are trying to buy time to make up an answer
He repeats the questions to think of the next LIE he's going to tell.
Yep buying time to make up more bs answers.
I don't blame him prosecutor jobs is to twisted he's words around make him look guilty . I don't know why they even doing he's stealing money in case with munder anyways . You would t be able trial on doctor uses he's harming patient or how many times they been sued
@@chriscypret5365it’s to discredit him , that AM is a liar so the jurors don’t believe him
He has very scary eyes.
But also and weirdly he is kind of likeable, very slick and knows how to play and manipulate people. This sweet veneer most likely covers a horribly dark soul. His eyes are windows to that darkeness inside.
He keeps saying that these are all people that he cared about. What the fuck does he do to those he doesn't care about??
Thinking the same. I can see how people in the community would think he's an OK dude. Soothing, soft voice and very bright, manipulate indeed
Pure evil in human skin. He hated his son Paul whose boat accident exposed him and his wife who is going to divorce him. Both things put him in legal jeopardy and ruin. That was his motive for the double murder. Because of his standing in that small rural community, he thought he could walk away, maybe even claim life insurance of them. This dude is more cruel and mean than an animal. Should have got the death sentence that he deserved with all the deaths and financial crimes he committed
Yes ! Black eyes!
my cat gets eyes like that before she attacks
His eyes express all the humanity of a Great White Shark.
No way he needed that much money for pills. They are pricey but not that damn expensive.
I bet Alex is being blackmailed for something far more SINISTER!
How long were you a Junkie ??
I believe AM was being blackmailed and no way was he taking that many pills.......more to come in the lawsuits ahead......
Did anyone catch when he said "these are people I still cared about and I did them this way?" He uses the "I did them" quite a bit.....just like when being questioned in the detectives car and he slipped, "I did him so bad"..... 🤔
oh yeah! Nice catch.
Noticed that I don’t know if he said they or I. But always thought that was a weird thing to say . Like they did him so bad. They didn’t kill him the right way . Either he told them to do it different and it went wrong or he did. Sometimes I wonder if he did hire someone. He is so worried about saying no one else was around which hurt him if he wants people to believe right after he left someone came.
Exactly!!!
He has the cold, dark eyes of a killer. He glares at the prosecutor often.
Well, he got away with those killer eyes for Decades.
Yesssss
Protruding brow ridge, soulless dark eyes, pathological lier, no remorse, no regret......these and others are signs of a psychopath. The protruding brow ridge happens during puberty when the adolescent has higher than normal levels of testosterone causing imbalances, especially in the brain. AM is a true psychopath, his wife wasn't too far behind so I've heard which explains a lot about their relationship and also how they treated ppl. I heard they treated ppl as common folk and sort of beneath them.
I love how cool Mr Waters is
Anybody on the stand during cross examination glares at the prosecutor whether they’re a murderer or not. It’s usually one side or the other.
I can’t get enough of this testimony. He astounds me. The man doesn’t know how to read a room.
The last part of your sentence refers to the "tenor or mood of a room". You don't want to bring rationalist debates to any argument....guaranteed defeat.
AkK😮
❤😂😮😂
1😂❤😂1.8M😂*😂😂?/.
Me too, I’ve watched it a few times
For over a year he lied about not being at crime scene.
Born into a wealthy family with so many advantages and look at what he has turned in to , so entitled, the lies! the greed! stealing from people that have suffered a terrible loss, god only knows what else he’s done.Truly an ugly human being with no remorse , the jury saw him for what he is, hope he gets a warm welcome in prison
Very well said!
HELL MORE LIKE IT.
Doesn’t make any sense really. When you have a certain amount of money, it’s a lot safer and easier to just do the right thing. You’re able to afford less risk in every way.
Prison gonna be so much fun. His fellow inmates already got him to put money on their books in jail.
His arrogance of believing he is fooling everyone is astounding.
His repeating of questions is an obvious sign of giving himself time to think of another lie …
What a man of arrogance !😮
Some folks were upset at how much the pros spoke about these financial issues too much - I thought it was absolutely brilliant because it showed just how easy it was for AM to lie to someone who put their trust in him, people he claimed he loved. It was the foundation for the murders, and the fact that he is slick and can look the jurors in the eye when he says he didn't kill his wife and son. I don't understand men like AM, Chiris Watts, and the fool that lined his 3 boys up and executed them. Baffles my mind. 💔💔
Listen to the 911 call. When he gets outraged at being asked if his house is a mobile home. Then settles down when they ask him his name. Like, oh you didn’t realize who you were talking to. That was so telling.
Yep, I caught that too
He thought he was so much better than everyone else! 😒
Should have asked him if he knew Paw-Paw was so drunk that he spit and slapped his girlfriend before he slammed the boat into the bridge and killed the young lady 😢
I like this prosecutor. He doesn't beat around the bush, very direct. It's obvious Alex isn't a fan though 😆
It's annoying how he gets offended at specific questions about stealing money. Like he says "I stole money, but not like THAT!"
I love when prosecutor just says "now is this the first time you started calling Paul 'Pau Pau' today, along with your new testimony" the prosecution team and the entire gallery looks like they swallowed frogs. LOOOOLLLL
He just might be the world’s worst human.
"i stole money, i mislead people, and i was wrong..." lol
Why on earth did this man get on the stand? It rarely ever goes well. As an attorney you’d think he’d know better then to do that. He did himself absolutely no favors and he opened himself up to all sorts of questions that he cannot really get around like the kennel video. Not a very smart lawyer and how sad that he disgraced his whole family’s name.
Exactly. As soon as I heard that he was testifying I knew that his fate was sealed bc the state was def going to be able to question him about every lie he told and every crime he committed, which would ruin his credibility. However, I do believe that he thought that he would be able to manipulate this jury into believing him, since he had gotten away w/so much for so long, and it ended up being the opposite bc they made him look just like the liar, crook and murderer that he is!#Im happy that justice was served💜💙
@@benitaapplebottom01 he had to take the stand cause he was busted for lying about being at the kennels
I’m so glad he showed the world who he is !👿
Thank God this murderer took the stand and dug himself an Everest size grave.
Cause he had nothing else. This case was basically evidence he killed his family and nothing to deny it but his own words.
Hes trying to come across as this humble, sweet doddery person isnt he.
Trying for sure.
Definitely. This is how he befriended the unfortunate people he stole from too 🤨
He is trying - and is used to being believed in his position of (former) authority. He is out of his depth there, and it is backfiring in the court, IMO.
Big fail tho eh ? To us common folk he's coming across as an A Hole Snob. 🤣
how can you steal from a teenager, a young quadrapeligic, a disabled man whose mother was your devoted nanny / housekeeper and because of you was evicted and then homeless....Alex I hope you are someones bitch in the big house
How anybody can think he’s innocent is beyond me. He was in deep financial doo doo when he took out a special insurance policy that would allow someone to sue him for employees harmed at his estate. Then his house keeper falls backward off the steps a couple of month later & right away Alex says he’s going to sue himself to help her children. Which he then stole $4 million settlement from that. I’m sorry but that’s to much coincidence. I’m glad they’re going to exhume her body and relook at her death. His excuse for why he lied about being at the kennels is laughable.
It’s not about thinking he is guilty or innocent. I think he is guilty of either killing them or having them killed, but if I was on that jury I would be the hung juror. The investigators blew it. They didn’t preserve the crime scene. There were tire tracks that didn’t belong to Alex’s vehicle and they didn’t preserve them and drove right over them. There is so much they didn’t do. Why has no one gone to where the truck stopped and searched a half mile radius around that spot for the missing clothes? I would never sentience someone to life in prison or a death sentence for murder without direct evidence. He could’ve lied simply because he knew he was the primary suspect being the spouse. There is WAY to much reasonable doubt. When in the history of crime have you ever heard of a family member cleaning up a crime scene? This whole thing was blown by sloppy half ass investigators.
@@eagleclaw1179 Who else is supposed to clean the crime scene? It would be a family member or a cleaning service either way lol
If they find him responsible that will make him a serial killer = 3 or more murders.
@@giveadoggyabone1 he only killed 2🤦♂️
@@eagleclaw1179 so you’re saying common sense should be thrown out when looking at this entire double murder?
As someone watching, enthralled from the UK, what amazes me mostly is the fact that he displayed badges to which he may not really have been entitled and applied blue lights to his car
Uk also. Addicted to watching this
For UK watchers I call your attention to the Darrell Brooks case in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The lawyers and the judge have really prominent Wisconsin accents. Could not be any more different from this. Two great regional accents one in the South and one in the North.
@@ArizonaJoeHines What a wonderful assessments of the accents here in the states. What I love about it all ( and I live in Virginia) is the different colloquial terms used amongst the 'natives' are just great. The south-so polite and congenial-the north, direct and with confidence-very neat. This "southern charm' ( the whole 'yes sir/no sir thing) is used to disarm the listener. Gotta be careful with these folks. Alex says Yes Sir No Sir all the time...while lying all the while.
There are certain catalogs where you can buy those items.
I’m from the UK, and I am obsessed with this case. My family are fuming, because it is constantly on the TV! Prosecutors are brilliant, defence are shockingly bad!
His narcissism and capacity for evil has a kind of grandeur to it. It’s fascinating to watch this Mt. Everest of human slime.
The first thing any body language person or a lawyer will say to you is when somebody asks you to question if you repeat what they just said is because you're buying yourself some time to answer the question to think about an answer. This guy is a lawyer and he's doing this on every single question
Exactement les politiciens font ca aussi très souvent .
The Behavior Panel here on RUclips did two examinations of him, he consistently shows lying it's a panel of four.
The rest of that strategy is to delay answering. It not only buys time to think, but gives your lawyer time to object to the question and breaks up the pressure from whoever is asking the questions.
Body language is pseudoscience. If we could tell when people were lying OR telling the truth, we wouldn’t need court and we’d never have an overturned conviction. It’s dangerous.
And his mouth is extremely dry because it's extremely hard to spit out the Truth 🤔
The prosecutor is not buying any of Alex's nonsense 😅.
I come back to watch occasionally while doing house chores bc I’m weird and am tired of rewatching the Jodi arias trial…. But one new thing I realized was AM not only took from his clients but he specifically chose those he thought less of (less value) kids, broke (so in his eyes uneducated) but hardworking households, just vulnerable people. He stole from those who truly needed it while maintaining his WEALTHY lifestyle. Then proceeds to talk greatly of them like yeah what great people not realizing that comes off worse. Ugh, I didn’t catch why the attorney kept harping on it watching it live but rewatching I finally see it. What a disgusting man.
He's much more than that. He's despicable.
I was at around the 1 hour mark when I read your comment. I'm not sure I would have seen it as clear as I do if I hadn't read it.
Well said! And i used to watch Hodee Hairyarse J.D ( just a british nickname for her lol) until i fell asleep with head phones in, lets just say i woke up in a cold sweat cable round my neck with Juan Martinez blasting Jodie...Thought she was strangling me.🤣
@@nicolageorge1433 bahahaha I would have thought the same!! 😂 so glad I’m not the only one that rewatches these trials over and over 😂
Its funny how good his memory is on everything except the incriminating stuff 😂😂
Exactly
You can tell when he's lying or trying to fake it. His mouth doesn't stop. He's always making some type of noise.
Don't forget the constant dry sniffing too, drives me mad. Does it a lot after a lie, which is often.
He wants us to believe that he stole from so many that he can't remember who and how much. Alex just reinforces the belief of many that lawyers are crooks.
He’s a Lawyer and can’t even answer simple questions. Stuttering all kinds
I love how the prosecutor calls him out for constantly over-admitting to stealing money. Was totally trying to play the “taking accountability” card and he saw right through it.
all the prosecutor needs to ask him is did he lie about all of his stealing, lie about being at the kennels when he was clearly there, lie about his being shot, the list goes on. the prosecutor should then ask him "if you said all of those lies, why should the jury believe him now" He has not answer to that as he says he can recall the clients we stole from but cannot remember any details of those thefts. What a fraud and a liar.
Asking him why the jury should believe him now would be wrong. It opens the door for him to say, " I lied before but that does not mean I am lying now. And that does not mean I kilked my wife and son." And that is exactly what they want: reasonable doubt.
Prosecutor may say all this during the closing statement to the jury
@@justinm1200 would be a better time to do it anyway because he can’t respond back. He clearly has no issue with being a difficult witness.
Prosecution proved he lied to police from the begining. Is it enough to convict?
@@piercethesnare not as a stand-alone fact, no. In conjunction with the other evidence? I think so. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence and generally the jury is instructed to remember that.

Certainly the jury sees this guys smugness and will find him guilty.

He thought every question was a “gotcha” question…
Stole injury settlement money from a quadriplegic. Stole a life insurance settlement from his own housekeeper who tripped over THEIR dog and died, leaving her disabled child with nothing. I can't quite put into words what to call this entity. Not to mention blowing off his own wife's and son's heads.
I too noticed and was glad the state prosecutor finally brought up the ridiculous amount of nicknames used to possibly confuse the jury. First, it was "Handsome, Grandmar, Maggs, and Buster" now it's "Papa, Bus, and "Roro" 🙄He can't answer a simple straightforward question because he's lied all his life and never had to answer for his crimes and abusive nepotism.
Alex knew exactly what he was doing by wearing his father's Deputy State Solicitor's badge to his son's boating accident interview (which ended in manslaughter) by indirectly saying, "It's futile to take my son to court."

A good TV lawyer would have walked dramatically up and down the courtroom during cross, periodically checking his watch. The jury is intrigued. After 10-15 min, his fitbit alarm goes off when it hits the same number of steps as happened in the missing timeframe.
If Alex repeats the question, he is lying about the answer.
He is trying to take charge of the questions.
How insightful.
@@Broseph4245 lol but we all see how he talked his way to the bank
Of course. He’s done that from the jump and it’s how you manipulate these situations in your favor especially verbally. He wants to run the conversation so he can control everything about it. That’s what this guy does. It’s what he did when he called 911 too.
I love the prosecutor's approach!
You mean talking about irrelevant financial crimes in a murder case?
@@onri_ he is basically destroying his act from the direct. Showing the jurors that that's what he does best. Convince people that he is trustworthy, sensitive etc. but actually all he cares about is his own benefit! He pointed out that he used the nicknames to gain sympathy. He pointed out his years of experience in court and knowing how to address the jurors (what tricks to use to manipulate them). And most importantly, he got under AM's skin and is showing now his real face! Did you notice that his accent even got thinner? That's because he used his accent to manipulate the jurors and gain their trust. So much manipulation in everything this guy does! Including working with the police, which is why there isn't that much of a tengible proof. So the prosecution needs to get the jurors to realise by themselves why that is (him knowing how to work a crime scene and corrupting the police). The timeline of the evening is the big one for them and again, they want the jurors to connect the dots and figure out by themselves what this guy is truly capable of.
@@nomad_sofficial I agree, this is a completely different person than the one we saw during the defense’s time with him and it’s glaringly obvious imo. I just hope the jurors see it.
@@PresleysMom504 you and me both!
I think he comes across as a bully. He’s not likable. Besides the more he drones on and on about the financial crimes and the defendant continues to admit to lying and stealing, it makes the defendant look more sympathetic while making the prosecutor look like a bully.
Anyone notice that while he was saying “No I did not” to the question if he murdered his wife and son, his head was nodding up and down, instead of side to side? A person’s body language will almost always match closely to a verbal response. Liar! Guilty!
I mean body language is a bunch of BS because there are many factors that you need to consider with that kind of stuff, it’s pseudoscience but I mean anyone who looks at this guy can tell that he’s guilty. I just watched the doc you series about his family and the murders and everything on Netflix last night and this guy is absolutely guilty. The way he mishandled the Mallory Beach murder was disgusting, he had no regard or concern for her safety while trying to cover his son’s crime.
Agreed ! I noticed it too. I also noticed that he kept answering with a question.
I hope they give him life, and some one beats his ass so bad that he wishes he's dead!
Yes ! It's the first thing I was looking for before it even started ...
@@allison257 - Who needs due process when we have a psychic like you here to tell us what really happened. Screw innocent until proven guilty am I right?
Oh yes. Body language baaaby. He turns beet red when he lies
This dude smh. This dude is incapable of answering with a straight yes or no. And his eyes are scary.
It’s wild to me that the whole argument is about bad business practices and theft
He always answers each prosecuting attorneys question with a question. He knows he’s been caught and his days of intimidation and taking advantage of people is over.
He’s trying to get the prosecutor off his rhythm.
This man had clients that were seriously injured and didn't care anything about their conditions. He really had the nerve to say that he was close to some of those families, he's very Manipulative. It's amazing to me how he doesn't remember anything while all along he was there. He has no Remorse! This man is a terrible liar....GLUITY!!!
Huh ????? What do you mean he had clients that were seriously injured and didn’t care about their conditions ???? He Brutally Murdered his Wife and Son.
@@silkcustoms520 If you followed the case you would know what I'm referring to. He took money from clients that had serious injuries. I know that he brutally killed his wife and son duh! The man is a monster! So what's the problem? We both agree on the same thing! Smh
Don't forget he was high throughout much of it 🤷🏽♀️
“You had people trust you and you didn’t have their best interest at hand” umm isn’t that almost every lawyer
I would disagree with that. But maybe it’s because I come from a family of attorneys. 🤣
There are some great attorneys, and there are some not-so-great attorneys, just like in every other career. It’s always the bad ones that ruin it for the good ones out there
AFTER HE"S BEEN CAUGHT years and years later he apologizes profusely like he should be congratulated or praised for his apologies for massive financial crimes that had gone on for ages. Lied, cheated, stole, manipulated countless clients, friends, co-workers so basically everyone he came in contact with professionally. Destroyed the lives of his remaining family. Who really cares about apologies at this point? Nobody.
I can not imagine what Maggie and Paul went through those last few moments. Long list of people who trusted this evil man but imagine the last few moments realizing who he really was and that he killed you and your son.
I've thought about that. He shot Paul 1st and the 1st shot was to his chest. ME testified that shot wouldn't have killed Paul and that he was still standing but moving slowly. His father would have to walk up closer to literally blow his brains out. I often wondered if he cried out anything but I guarantee Paul would have turned to see wtf just happened. Maggie would have heard or even seen that 1st shot, if not the 1st, she would have seen the 2nd shot I believe because the 1st shot to her was to her front lower torso. If she watched her husband blow their son's brains out, I can't imagine what disbelief and betrayal she must of felt. Then he turned on her. They knew who murdered them and I hope the looks on their faces in those last moments haunts Alex every night. Unfortunately I don't think Alex cares because Alex only loves himself.
@@the-finn let's hope their faces and voices haunt him.
Imagine being Maggie. Having to be married to this POS. His rambling alone would make life unbearable.
I think about, did they say anything during the shots 😢 knowing Alex is the one ending their lives.
You guys see where Alex “broke down” when the forensic person explained how the 2nd shot that killed Paul could only happen with him slumped over and his head turned looking at his shooter? I think Alex in that moment probably realized last thing Paul saw was him? I think Paul kinda leaned out of the doorway too see if Alex was still there with the shotgun and he was. They locked eyes and boom
I can imagine the endless opportunities he would have had in his community, practicing law, bringing impact to the community, and having a decent family. I guess that is difficult to fulfill.
It really is amazing how much this murderer remembered on direct, but suffered major memory loss during cross. 🤔
He is so smart in his profession that he could have become a professor in Law. Instead he decided to completely go crazy. What a loss to the lawyer world. But the way he killed his son and wife is just horrifying and unimaginable.
A Professor in law ???
What are lost to the lawyer world? ??? Good Lord !
I dont see nothing smart. Just a liar and a theft Oh and Murder
Not so smart. He did not know the meaning of habeas corpus. You don’t need law school to understand the meaning of that.
The badge hanging out has me 😅
Love this! This is my 3rd time watching/listening to his testimony.
Everyone that sat in the courtroom with him was sitting there with a likely serial killer. Chilling.
He loved many of his clients but it didn’t stop him from stealing every last dime. It follows that he loved his family but it didn’t stop him from killing them. AM compartmentalizes all thoughts and actions which allows him to separate his feelings from what he’s convinced he needs to or must do.
Yes you are so right!He is a Narcissist !!!He probably has an alter ego that he made up (like Paul had "Timmy" ) that he blames all his bad actions and crimes on It's not me, Alex the family man or at least I can't remember I did that. It would have been Alec the lawyer, crook,drug addict,liar,thief,big mouthed bully and killer who "would have done that "..( and always uses subjunctive instead of indicative )That's why he can cry too, because he is the humble, regretful poor little family man that lost his wife and son...I hope the jury sees through his show, since the prosecutor didn't do such a good job on the 2nd day of cross, I am really fearing he will get off on the murder charge
SOCIOPATH.
Spot on!!
Exactly
if frauds and liars that steal money wee killers the corporations - banks, insurance companies, even charities and chrches - would have wiped out the population of the country long ago
His lying opioid use. This is a DISGRACE to all the True addicts suffering. It is Infuriating. Not Right at All.
I don’t buy it either. He’d be dead like Elvis
True!
You ever spend 50,000 dollars on drugs every week?
@@onri_ nobody consumes drugs that costs that much each week.
He would been dead or waiting on a liver transplant. He was stealing from his client and he was possibly a drug dealer.
23:25 - something that liars do --- they dont answer clearly simple questions in a clearly simple fashion. He constantly thinks he's being setup with every question so he dances around it -- responds in an evasive & deliberately argues over semantics with questions. It's sp frustrating to watch but fascinating at same time. Good to know justice was served.
Exactly!!!
Him wearing that Badge Night of boat crash is prime example of his entitlement issues of covering up for himself and his family…
The first time he lied about not being at the dog kennel before he went to his mothers was when he talked to the 911 caller ,he told her he just got home from his mothers and found them dead he told her he was asleep and tried to text Maggie and tell her he was going to his mother house but didn't get an answer which was not unusual because the phone lines were very in predictable and some time couldn't go throw it was not in the cop car on that first interview that's a lie ????
This is the best falling asleep video I’ve found on here. Close seconds are Joe Perra and Jim Raunch
I think their a long line of criminals. Imagine what grandpa did back in the day
Such an honourable man owning up to everything. 🤮
So slimy 🤨
Almost everything 😅
He thinks that if he admits to stealing all that money that the jury will believe him when he says he didn't do the killings of his wife and son. Manipulation is all it is. He's trying to look like a good man now but he is far from it. Just watch the Netflix series that's out now about his whole family. It's disgusting
@@jaymee76 right? Poor Alex, look how humble he’s being. And the prosecutor just won’t stop! It’s frustrating because to laypeople it might look like he’s being harassed but to people who have been in court regularly, it’s super obvious that he’s ducking and dodging. This is 100000% not an appropriate way to answer questions on the stand. It’s shameful. But if you don’t know much about court proceedings you wouldn’t necessarily see that as a factor, ya know? That’s my main concern with what happened in the first half of cross.
Owning up to what you want to hear. …He has evasive answers and rewords the question.
Admitting your lies doesn’t change what you did or why u did it.
Everyone in the comments says hes evil and guilty, obviously he had some good in him at one point to have so many wonderful people around him.
Maggie and Paul both saw who killed them, someone they thought loved them, the love of money brought him to do the unthinkable.
Any monster that turns on his family, by killing them, is a sick, pathetic man.
I know this is a serious case with real victims but when the prosecution said " Im pullin a fast one right now" i lost it lol 1:40
This is SO painful to watch! Unbelievable! I bet against his lawyers advice, he insisted on being on the stand. AM deserves to rot in prison!
I would guess they told him, (he probably knew,) not to get on the stand, UNTIL that Snapchat video came up. At that point, I think he'd have to testify.
There are places too where the folk judge lacking any person who won't stand before the court. Apropos of nothing
AM's new story:
After telling MM he didnt want to go with her to kennel, he later decided to go down there, but stayed only long enough to remove bird from dog then went back to house. (????)
Upon finding his son's head blown off, he was immediately so concerned he was a suspect, that within seconds he invented a story for 911 dispatch. (????)
His LIES WILL CATCH UP TO HIM
Right?!?! He needed to lie because…..?
@@PresleysMom504 lol well in his words he felt paranoid because detectives asked him about his relationship with his wife and son. Once he lied he continued to lie. He never stopped and is lying till this day.
Prosecutor doing a good job, "wear and break down" this dodgy lawyer guy.
The questions are good because shows his low life greedy character
Greedy and Blowing the brains of your son with a shotgun just under his chin are two wildly different states of mind, This is bad evidence. Not even mentioning he stole and spent it on his family? so why would he kill them
Why lie about being with them at the kennel why hide the shirt you had on why try to make it look like someone tried to kill you too after there’s to many lies oh and he doesn’t remember his last words to his family he’s admitting to the lesser evils anyone thinks he is innocent I’ll pray for you
Did Alex Murdaugh shoot and kill from the "golf cart?" This would clear up the "short person" scenario.
I thought the exact same thing!!
The side by side. Makes perfect sense!!
That is what I have been saying! You are the first person that I have found who thought of this too! It makes perfect sense to me because it was said that is how they hunted hogs on their property. Also, Maggie had a tire impression on her leg in mud which suggests he ran into her.
@@MadgeGreen - can't believe Waters did not ask him!
Definitely a legit idea. I can’t decide if it was that or him squatting and falling back from either kickback or anxiety but regardless, that golf cart was a part of his plan, for sure.
I've wondered that myself but he definitely got off to mow Mags down.
