Mr Hamilton…your analysis is SPOT ON in every way. Thank you for your expertise and COMMON SENSE 🙌
Phillip is amazing
He definitely planned to take their life! The fact that there's people out there that still don't believe that he did it... Wow. Just, wow.
Seen through the eyes of someone who knew ONLY what was presented in the trial, no prior knowledge whatsoever, the murders were not adequately proven. The time line didn’t add up. The fabrications of the prosecution cast doubt. It seemed a lynching for crimes outside the scope of the trial at hand. I would have not been able to cast a guilty verdict since as the judge said, the benefit of the doubt must go to the accused.
The jury should have convicted in fifteen minutes. I bet it only took less than a minute for A to take his son and wife’s lives.
You are so right. In the beginning I did not want it to be true that he killed them. I kept thinking through the trial the state was not proving his guilt. But after both sides presented their arguments, the evidence proved his guilt.
@@NASAastronautStep-Mom the kennel video really did it for me. Paul spoke from the grave. R.I.P to Paul and Maggie. They did not deserve what happened to them. I can only imagine the confusion to them both after they realized that Alex had shot Paul. The first shot wasn’t fatal to Paul. After he was shot then looked up and saw it was his dad, he stepped a little further into the doorway of the feed room probably like WTH are you doing. Maggie heard shots, saw that Paul was down on the ground and started running to him and realized omg Alex is the one that shot Paul so she starts running away from Alex but it was to late 😞💔
@@ace6285 They more than sufficiently proved it, you just weren’t paying attention. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence. Logic and common sense is needed as a juror.
I would like to give a shout-out to the unsung heroes who are responsible for bringing this murderer to light: the chicken and two dogs. If the chicken (who had so valiantly given up her own life) had not been in the right place in the right time, Bubba would not have caught her and kicked up the fuss that caused Alex to get caught on the video. And, the other dog who belonged to a friend whose tail had a problem - were it not for him the video would not have been taken in the first place. The Humane Society should receive a lot of donations from grateful town folk, or erect a statue in their honor for helping to catch the worst crook in history.
Hear! Hear!
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg 🤣🤣 I actually lol..Thank you for giving credit to the other dog cash. If not for cash there would be no video at all. 👏 👏 👏 May the chicken rest in peace. And I hope cash and Bubba are living their best life and not in a cage.
RoRo's dog's name is Cash. The ultimate hero!
I’m from South Carolina and when they said respected I busted out laughing…it’s no secret that they were shady.
I bet people know 😮smh
Yeah I get the impression that they are a family of bullies
He definitely planned this. He made sure Maggie was at Moselle. Her sister will never forget the fact that she encouraged her sister to go to her death.
He absolutely intended for both of them to die that night.
Alex tried to kill Paul with one shoot in the chest, did not working out, do he shoot him in the head.
No stranger would overkill Maggie and at the end on the back of her head.
Alex did hate Maggie while he overkilled her.
All the Murdaugh's were raised to lie, (for money and power) that's tragic.
RIP Paul and Maggie 🙏
Many people know Paul was there. He had been out on a boat that weekend. There was a hit in Paul. I studied the time frame based on cellular activity. AM did not commit the murders. I believe 2 gunmen come in from the field near the entrance to the kennels. They waited until the golf cart went back up to the house just before AM dove off to his mother house. That’s when they stepped in killing Paul. The second gunman killed Maggie. I believe they had not realized she was there. It started them and the 2 nd gunman unloaded in her. If they go back to listen to the video there was nothing to indicate that AM was out of control. He was actually nice to the dog. I just don’t see him turning into a monster the next seconds and grabbing 2 guns and doing this. The boat trials we about to be heard. They were trying to frame someone else as the driver. Plus Paul had others who wanted to kill him over Mallory’s death. Those people know that property. They have hunted it most likely. They could have come up in 4 wheelers, waited and when the sun was going down they moved in. They could have road off through the entrance after AM left throwing Maggie’s phone. Also running over her leg. They never talked about evidence on the golf cart. Or anything beyond that snap chat video. The time frame gets condensed even more the closer to 9 pm. I just think everyone wanted him to take the fall. And he did. The experts witness said the shotgun would be covered in blood after shooting Paul. They never looked into the possibility of 2 gunmen. And sure AM is a criminal, he will be in prison for ever. But I do not believe he killed his son or Maggie. But 2 gunmen and they got away with it. I think that group of friends knows more. They are afraid to talk. But maybe one will slip up one day.
@@FourHuskyHomestead so if he didn't killed them...Why lie he wasn't at the kennel?!!...And when the phone of Paul was open and they placed him at the murder crime?!!!....Then AM decided to come out and explain...But he lie.....And no one believes him...
And why couldn't he have not done this crime??...It is a daily normality in America... Killing for money or cover up of a hit man conspiracy!!!..😀
Never had no remorse, tried to cry but fake n look at him, he shaved his head. He still has to face God, true judge.
@@FourHuskyHomestead why did he lie? Why didn't he try to find out who did this? His brothers were, Maggie's sister was, NOT ALEX. He didn't want any protection. Didn't call BUSTER first to make sure he was ok. Why did he fake cry? Why did he try to get Ms Shelly to lie, Blanca to lie? WHERE ARE THE CLOTHES? WHERE ARE THE GUNS? So two gunmen show up with NO GUNS? How would they know the guns would be laying right there so conveniently? It was Alex Murdaugh and only Alex Murdaugh. I know it is hard to believe someone who appeared to love their family so much could do something so heinous. Sadly it happens all the time. People have evil and secret sides to them that they hide very well. Add addiction to drugs or gambling or both in there. You're dealing with a monster!
The maelstrom of destruction this family wreaked on each other and the community is mind boggling.
He’s Guilty. Anna, his testimony gave me a headache too Anna. I can’t stand people who constantly BS and that’s what he did. He really seems somewhat ignorant to me. How did he graduate from law school?
He’s from a connected family. That’s how our country went to shit. He isn’t who should of had all that sway down in that area. Seems is dad was smart and prolly grand father before him, smart and evil. Ran liquor and pills for the Russian mob, the spoiled children of that money and scheming was this dad and his crap son. When they got so outta hand they threatened the operation then order went out he better tie it up with a bow around his own kneck or else. He thinking he could still get away killed his wife and son etc but wasn’t smart enough to do it. Though he did keep eyes from going past him successfully.
Other option is weirder. There is literally an HBO series and I think Netflix series on this. Who gets that money? How many times have there been specials out at the same time in real time for a case like this? Not even oj got that treatment. Screams three letter agency narrative control to me. He looks sooooo different but similar, is this really even him? Is the real Alex under ground either literally or figuratively and protected by elites after successfully keeping all eyes here instead of there?? It’s just all very weird and ya can’t trust any of it. Imo. Something still isn’t right. Just off
Clearly, you've never heard of the " Good ol boys club " it's real especially if family is involved. They had every sort of connections now, of course certain groups and people would discredit that theory for obvious reasons.
Oh he gave me a headache too
@@andrewcheadle1753 Gees your narrative is all over the place 🙄. Alex lost weight in prison, no beer or pills, probably has to work manual labour each day. It's the same person who did all these crimes. He said it on the stand. Jury saw right through his lies. No conspiracy theory here either.
I thought the exam same thing
I'm really hoping Stephen Smith gets Justice. His poor mom Sandy. They re opened his case after the murders of Maggie and Paul because they found something at Moselle regarding Stephen we just don't know what it is that investigators found.
I sure hope they do prove what happened to Steven. His mother deserves so much for all of her pain. I believe Steven will get justice. I know AM was his coach for several years and he hung out with the Murdaugh’s. It’s going to be interesting.
Please let there be justice for Steven. No one should get away with his death.
When did you here this and where?
Stephen was openly gay. I think it’s very possible that Buster had sex with Stephen, then Buster panicked and killed Stephen or had someone else do it that he probably paid, because he didn’t want anyone to know. Check out Murdaugh Murders Podcast RUclips channel. She has so much information on this case.
@@sherrydmyterko-tramp8654 it's true. Has been reported during murder trial.
To be honest, I think some of those 911 responders need a bit more training. After ascertaining the address,the first thing the caller should be told is that help in on it’s way to you. They will then calm down and answer your questions.
Couldn't agree with you more. I'm a Retired Nurse of 25 + years of Practice and some of those questions regarding Gloria's fall and head injury were insufferable.
His son was not a good person but I 100% blame the parents. Still truly sad what happened
When the cop asked a passenger "who was driving the boat" the passenger said "You know Alex Murdaugh? That's his son. Good luck!!" Shows how much influence and power they have
He was definitely walking in his father's footsteps for sure
The parents were totally neglected Paul and his drinking. Should of nipped in the bud!
Whats sick is i think he purposely spent the day with Paul having fun because he new it would be his sons last day on earth( I'm surprised he neve took him for icecream)
Alex didn't arrive home 'till 6.45pm .... he only spent 1hr to 1.5hrs with Paul .... Sad
I thought the same. He planned this.
I had not looked it that way. Omg
Omg 😳 that is the girl who was in the boat accident? She is gorgeous and literally looks like an angel, if someone were to say to me describe what you think an angel looked like I would be describing her 💔
I loved the Netflix series on this, and especially when Alex said, on the phone to Buster, at the end of the series, “do you know if Netflix gotta hold of this”!! Perfect ending
I actually don’t think Paul was acting privileged when it came to him asking the operator to stop asking questions, I think a lot of people do that (I’ve done it myself) because they don’t realize they already dispatched officers or EMTs, that they’re trained to keep the caller talking, and the caller gets frustrated.
Alex screeching “it’s a house!” on his 911 call was definitely him scoffing, though.
Most people are anxious and very upset when there's an emergency situation that they're calling 911 about, especially this situation.
Most would sound frantic, anxious and very upset.
Neither Maggie nor Paul seemed concerned or upset.
I took the call as Paul being rude, off putting and very arrogant..Maggie sounded as though she was nonchalantly talking to a friend on the phone.
Nothing of that phone call sounded urgent, with someone who's like family, was laying on the ground, unresponsive and bleeding from the head and ear, nothing.
If we heard the recording without knowledge of the Murdaughs, it would sound like a non life threatening situation, which apparently, it was.
Know the crazy thing about this case...? Try having a conversation about this with 2 or more people. This ish is so unbelievable that only way people can react to it is by just shaking their heads in disbelief. Even the attorneys that discuss this case....just shaking their heads. My entire body is shook. JUSTICE WAS SERVED👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯
The fuck is "ish"? Fish?
@@rustymacshackleford6276 😂
@@rustymacshackleford6276 It’s called a typo, Einstein.
😂. Lol.
Well. Unless you’re being sarcastic…
Y’all are all wrong….
That’s self censoring. Lol.
Back in the day, they would run a lyric, of so called “curse words” backwards in whatever song was playing on the radio, as if that would somehow make an explicit song something the whole family could now enjoy. Lol.
@@italia300 Yes and self censoring is ultimately ridiculous IMO
The only person of importance ever, in Alex's life, has always only ever been Alex. Sociopath, arrogant, full of self importance, dishonest as the day is long. The family dynamic was totally not as he has stated. Those who think he's innocent maybe need to listen to all of the jail ph recordings. Thank you Ana and guest from your New Zealand fan 👏 👏💌 💌💫 💫 👩💻 🙌 👍
We know Alex lacked any integrity and thought nothing of lying, stealing, and murdering. Maggie had the job of competing with her sister for who had more wealth while thinking nothing of having a housekeeper she seemed to care nothing about since she only visited Gloria a few times in the weeks she lay in a hospital dying after 20 years of slaving over a bunch of wealthy slobs who couldn't even bother putting their used dishes in the sink or dirty clothes into a hamper! Buster, while in school to study LAW, plagiarized a paper and got kicked out. And finally, Paul who was allowed to drink and party with friends since a very young age, drives a car drunk and crashes gets away with it, then drives a boat drunk, crashes, and kills a friend all without any consequences. " Do the right thing " wasn't a thought to any of them! "Do it but don't get caught", must have been their family saying!
We all know who didn’t take the stand… Casey Anthony. Should be all a defendant needs to know.
Many lawyers should be looked at around the world.. Regulations of lawyers are long overdue.
He’s a narcissist he convinced himself he was such a good liar he could sway the jury with his fake crying.
If my wife and son had been murdered - I would be obsessed with finding whoever did it - it would be all I spoke about and all I would put my energy into - i would be scared for my sons safety and send him into hiding until the case was solved - in prison or out - it would be ALL I could think about.
I absolutely adore you both Ana and Philip! Great job! 😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
It's horrible how a family with everything could go to this so horrible..
How a family with everything… because having everything means something ? Having status and material things apparently makes it soo shocking? Unbelievable
They don’t even have *souls* look at their eyes.
They had everything but a moral compass.
@@fashionablylate888 they have deep dark eyes . Scary 😦
@@fashionablylate888 thank goodness you can see that,because that’s the first thing I noticed when I saw Alex and buster face ,Alex definitely looks like a evil 👿
That's not where the 911 call starts. It was recording as soon as he dialed 911. It doesn't start when the dispatcher picks up. In the 20 or so seconds before a dispatcher picked up, he was silent. The acting began when she answered.
Hooray for getting to see each other in person! Loved this week’s coverage ♥️
Human contact 🙏🏼
Mark Tinsley said Alex didn’t have any life insurance policy. So, staging the roadside attack for Buster to get insurance money was also a lie.
I think he was gonna set that guy up to take the blame for the murders that's why he told the police that he thought it sounded like shot gun knowing all along what kind of pistol was used because he brought it !!!
His law partners said he was theatrical in the courtroom, and would put on a performance for the jury. Once that was told, the "crying" disappeared. That was interesting! I never believed any of the crying. You don't go from crying in one sentence to speaking clearly in the next sentence.
Thanks Ana for the update after the trial and judgement. Great to see you and Phillip in the flesh. The interaction between you and Phillip so natural. Greetings from New Zealand.
Hi Karen!!!
The cousin said, "If I had shot him, he would have been dead."
Hi Ana. I've been following this case closely by watching any documentary available and as much of the trial as possible. 5 bodies in 6 years linked to the Murdaughs: unbelievable!
From a human and humane standpoint, I'm sorry Paul and Maggie met such a horrific end, but, that said, I don't think they were nice people.
As for Alex, his 911 call is so rehearsed, so unnatural, despite all the heavy breathing and the high voice pitch. You just don't start explaining to the 911 dispatcher your alibi. That was ridiculous! I hope you agree with me.
U said what I been thinking! When it comes to sympathetic victim Paul particularly isn't one. He was a liability and I think Alex knew that. And as for the mother well u wonder just how much of her sons bad behaviour she knew about and condoned and helped cover up? Who knows but wouldn't be first time for an affluent influential family to do that. For the 2 murdagh men in particular they got their comeuppance. Let's hope the 3rd one keeps his nose clean and is a little humbled by this
As a therapist, I would have accentuated their positive points and helped them to see the things that may be negatively affecting their family and friends...however, I don't think either one would have sought out any type of counseling because they, like Alex, seem to have demonstrated narcistic symptoms/behaviors.
Barbara, my sentiments exactly. Well said.
@@mamacito1795 Have you heard that recorded phone call to Buster when his father was in jail and suggests that Buster goes hunting on the Moselle property? Buster seemed really shocked and seriously put off. Unbelievable that Alex would suggest something like that. And that's not all... When Buster said he wouldn't go back to Moselle, Alex had the audacity to say that he wanted one of his lawyers to go hunt there. Buster, who is no angel imo (Stephen Smith) was grossed out understandably. Unbelievable stuff!
@@miriammuniz3073 Interesting point of view from a therapist (I'm a firm believer of therapy). I believe you're right: they were too arrogant to think they needed therapy. Very unfortunate.
He showed emotion when the experts said that Paul suffered and a little about Maggie. He kept shaking his head almost in a self soothing way. It finally hit him
Lovely Jacket, Ana!! I've commented the following under another True Crime Video, it makes me think this was not spur of the moment: Maggie's sister said that Alex said to her after the murders: "I feel like whoever did this thought about it for a long time." or something like that, which struck both her and me as a strange thing to say. It sounds like an embedded confession to me. As if he thought about it for a long time and it wasn't spur of the moment. Also, Maggie thought Alex sounded "fishy" when he called her to make her come over. I assume she knew him well enough and was spot-on in her assessment 😥.
When the judge explained his sentencing and said "Paul and Maggie will follow you every night for the rest of your life" Alex AGREED and said "they do, day and night"
To me it sounded like a confession. He also almost always said he wouldn't hurt his son or his wife. Just one time he said he didn't kill them. He downplays the murders too often. When the Attorneys were talking about Paul's wounds he cried his big tears, when they were talking about Maggie he was almost stonefaced.
She is just the sharpest dresser. She’s so pretty. Always enjoy her interviews. I am sure AM thinks of Paul & Maggie all the time. I’m on the other side. Where very few people are. I believe it was 2 gunmen that night. God has a way of bringing out the truth. And if he didn’t kill his son & wife one day it will be made known. I’m older and not well so it’s unlikely I will ever see that happen. But I hope the truth comes out one day. So many 40 year old crimes are being solved. In this one there just was no evidence. Except a video that put him there at 8:44. After AM went back to the house I believe is when it happened. I’m even though possibly Paul shot his mother then himself. But there is no evidence. It more likely the gunmen come in from the woods. I wish there had been evidence found. That would be the only way I would believe it. That timeline is just too tight for AM to be the shooter. In my opinion.
@@FourHuskyHomestead your opinion is not the result
A prime example of what happens when someone (an individual or a family) gets too much power.
Someone can be in a place of power and not abuse that power, I think it was his greed that is the determinating factor in his personality. Take the judge for example...... He's in a place of great power and yet did not abuse that power but used integrity to uphold that power.
@@astrialindah2773 I thought the judge was cruel in his comments to Alec. He kicked him when he was down.
Phillip is such an awesome guest.
He is a wonderful human 🙏🏼
The first time I heard of this case was on a previous episode of TCD, and it lit a fire under me because I was reading and watching anything I could get my hands on. Truly fascinating all the moving pieces and how he was able to manipulate things in his favor for a very long time.
Totally agree, you really couldn't make it up !
People commit heinous crimes and don't expect the trajectory of national attention. AM planned on receiving the same ole usual routine from everybody. And it almost worked! Question in my head is who was he planning to subtly direct local investigators toward as the "real killers"? I think somebody from Paul's boat accident or one of their family members.
Just finished the Netflix documentary about it. This case is an absolute whirlwind and I know for certain more things will come out
I watched it around the time of the jury verdict
Thank you to you both for covering this incredibly shocking, distasteful & disturbing situation. NSW AUSTRALIA 🙏🌺💖🌺💖🙏
Ohhh dear, I just heard the recording re 911 by Maggie about her House Keeper/Cleaner & there seems to be noooo distress, urgency, distress, panic that you would expect.
Ohhh my goodness.😢🙏😥 Ohhhh my, how suspicious, sad & ugly!
If I had post a loved one or friend, I tell you all that - I'd be crazy & reporting all and not consolable in any way at all!😘
I guess they were careful. The Murdaugh Family had a high legacy and were very close to law enforcement. There were so much people coming and coming one after the other and it must've been confusing. I guess some of them knew the victims and were close to them too. The Paramedic for example knew AM for a while.
But yeah it was really sloppy.
Just my thoughts here: if this guy was spending that kind of cash on pain killers weekly his kidneys have to be shot. Curious if a judge can order a full medical exam so everyone can see what a $50K plus a week habit does to your organs 🤷🏼♂️
I agree with you. Also, he's claiming no one in his family knew about his addiction. Addicts always show signs. I say this as a child of an alcoholic. My father's behavior always changed drastically when he was drinking. If Alex was taking that many pills, others would've noticed a change in his behavior.
The guy murdered two people and he was expected to get away with it. Sad.
Sadly, Alex Murdaugh's children are victims too. I watch Buster giving testimony and he was answering like his father wanted him to. I doubt Buster doesn't even know who he is. I hope he can find himself. Honestly, even as a teen he had no sense of who he was and only did things his father did. Alex and his mom even bought alcohol for both their son's when they were under age. It's tragic. All of this is tragic.
So tragic
That wasn't karma..that was answered prayer..
GLORY TO GOD..
Warriors and believers were praying for TRUTH AND JUSTICE..and received..
Thank you, Father
Right... And where is god when hundreds of thousands victim's families seek justice for their loved ones but don't get ANY? Karma makes a lot more sense to me in this case.
“High pitched annoying voice” Ana… you nailed it! I don’t know if people here have seen the video where the Lawyer has a cat filter? (It’s soo funny) but I keep thinking the Lawyer with the cat filter is Alex. If you search, you will find. All through this trial, all I could see was Alex as a cat. (Have a look, it’s worth it)🤣😉
Lol cats have more style than A M
I have been off and on looking at this case, since first hearing about this “Murdaugh” family. Personally, and I assume has already been stated in other comments, this family is just down right pathetic AF. Listening to the 911 calls when trying to supposedly get help for their housekeeper, sounds more like them getting frustrated with a little child asking you over and over again for a toy, even then some of us have more patience with that child. These people act like it was disrupting Cocktail hour at the country club! Like how dare this lowly human, fall and get injured, now I have to stop what I’m doing to be a F*cking human and help them, argh!!! The fact that these people where even considered “Respected” is just ridiculously silly and laughable. I respect my cats litter box, I respect the gum under my shoe and the bag of trash busting up, right as I am carrying through the kitchen, which was just washed and shining, more than these people ever showed to anyone in their pathetic lives, include the way they treated the death of Ms. Mallory Beach and her family and the housekeepers family, like they were just a nothing in their "respectable world of BS. SO personally, again sorry that Paul and mom were murdered, but this “Murdaugh” dynasty needs to be gone, gone from South Carolina and gone from ever being considered Respectable, only by those who are just like them. Good Riddances to Alex, Buster and whomever gets tangled in this Carolina Reaper hot mess of disrespect through and through.
I don't think that he would have been convicted if not for the video evidence.
He has a addiction for 20 years and go to rehab for a week and suddenly he is clean another lie
The moral to the story is:
There really is a fine line between the thin blue line-and the up front criminals.
As a retired EMT in many pedestrian,motor vehicle accidents the shoes are traumatically
Blown off the pedestrians feet! They said his shoes were loosely tied
You two are a great pair. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and laughter! AM is truly ridiculous.
Wondering if Alex wrote (Oxy’s) in the memo on the check 😂 Did he ever have to post date a check? Inquiring minds wanna know 😂
Great guest. Loved his voice and how invested he seemed to be
Good morning, Ana & Philip - I am happy my WEEKS of virtual Jury Duty is over! Whew, this was a long trial. Lol - I live in Rock Hill, SC, where Buster’s girlfriend’s parents live, and my neighbors are taking bets of Buster and her moving here. I’m not sure they will but, it might not be a bad idea for them. I believe Alex had a gambling issue on top of the opioids he was taking. In my heart I believe Paul solved his and his Mother’s murders. I’m so happy he took that Snapchat of Bubba. The real crime is that Bubba the dog is portrayed as a bad dog. Bubba is a good boy, he is the goodest boy! ❤
When I was stationed in York, SC, I lived in Rock Hill, SC.
This family was corrupt from the beginning, they came from a life of prestige and an automatic vail of unaccountability by name.
They destroyed so many life’s, Alex was poison.
In the end it got them all. It’s damn sad but karma catches up with all of us in the end, one way or another 🤷🏼♀️ Paul and that Snapchat was the nail in Alex’s coffin.
Already know I’m going to love it and I’m only 55 second in! ❤❤
This is such a sad story! Im glad the family got justice! I hope his guilt eats at him everyday he is alive. I hope the picture of him killing his wife and son is burned into his brain, and he has to live with it everyday. I am so glad that all his friends didn't believe him and he is put away.
Thank you for your awesome content! I enjoy watching your videos!!!
Evil has no guilt...
Sociopaths have no conscience therefore NO guilt.
The thing that’s eating away at him would be- “How did I not know about the video?”
He did try to get Pauls phone after he killed him. Alex did say “i tried to take pauls phone and do something about it? No one asked what he wanted to do with it.
@@ST-tt8qt I think he knew about the video but couldn’t get into his phone
With him being a convicted felon and admitted drug addict I wonder how many of his cases will be overturned?
What a cluster F🤦🏼♀️
The more I think about it, I’m becoming convinced that he moved most of that money off-shore to start a new life. I feel like I knew he would get caught stealing eventually and the plan was to amass so much wealth that he could easily give up his livelihood of practicing law and still live a wealthy life far away. He may have initially planed to take the whole family but knowing that Maggie might have wanted a divorce (which would’ve drastically reduced his assets), Paul’s case was not going away and he had just been caught by the firm - he decided to eliminate the two that were the biggest financial risk to this new life he was starting with the stolen money. I’d be curious to know if Buster has an idea of where the money really is that was stolen and whether or not he’d have to give up any of it or the US assets to repay the law firm.
Could take ten years to forensically find the money trail if ever. When cash is used it disappears quickly.
Maggie had refused to sign over her beach property. She had to go so he had an asset to forestall the $$ issues.
I love the fact that you all finally met !!!!
Taking that many drugs of any kind your liver and your kidneys would explode and you would be overdosed and dead. He cash those checks and Eddy gave the cash back to Alex. There’s a lot of Cash floating around somewhere.
I wish they had asked AM on the stand ‘where are the clothes from before dinner?’
They got him. Now let's look into the brothers or brother. And the rest of the brotherhood, as the lady called the firm. Because they knew it's no way they did not. And to not say anything is even worse. IMO
I still can’t figure out how it took a decade to realize he was stealing. Very suspicious.
@@DawnNa_22 very ingenious approach to accounting for the payouts, using annuities to disguise the stealing and apportioning amounts to the fake Forge account
39:00 You are so right about this Ana!
I noticed that immediately.
His indignant "IT'S A HOUSE" response seemed to say:
Don't you know who I am?
I'm Alex Murdaugh, for crying out loud!
Of course I don't live in a mobile home, like a lowly commoner peasant!
One of the best podcasts I've listened to ... your guest Phillip is easy to listen to and well spoken.
Justice is a tricky entity but I feel that it was served to that monster ... unfortunately it doesn't bring those who were killed back so it's a constant heartache for those families.
Buster's hands are far from clean but there's still hope they'll tie him to the young man's "accident"
Money truly is the root of all evil.
Phillip is wonderful
@@AnaGNews you're pretty wonderful too ! Just saying ☺️
the love of money is truly the root of all evil
One thing that always stands out to me in many trials is how both sides call expert witnesses who come to conclusions completely different from one another and almost always in favor of their side. At least one of them is inept or playing with the truth.
After watching the Netflix series this family deserved everything they got
The few jurors that were not ready to vote guilty, did not say they thought he was innocent. They just had questions they didn’t understand.
When another jurors explained it……they then took another vote and It was GUILTY UNANIMOUSLY
Absolutely! There are 1700-1800 ACRES OF LAND!!! He dug a deep hole in one of the corners of that property.
DO NOT FORGET: Hakeem Pinckney-- 2009- ALEC REPRESENTED HIM. CASE SETTLED- 4 DAYS LATER HIS VENTILATOR WAS UNPLUGGED. ALEC COLLECTED ON HIS INSURANCE.
RIP Mallory 🙏 💜 RIP Gloria 🙏❤️ RIP Stephan 🙏 💕 and lastly RIP MAGGIE &PAUL 💚💛🩷
Mallory case is the hardest for me after watching Netflix doc. 😪
I think he was ready to get insurance like he did from the cleaning lady
There were not insurance policies on Maggie & Paul
The homes were in Maggie's name so he knew everything would be his. And of course he could sell and make millions.
You said it "Crying and Lying" ..
As soon as the 911 operator answers!
The moments after he dialed 911 until the operator comes on the line ... Alex is so quiet that you can hear the dogs barking in the background.
I am horrified that the jury was convinced to find him guilty because they “didn’t like him”. I sincerely hope that this is not true and that they were convinced of his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If not, this is truly horrifying.
Well that's why there is gonna be an appeal. .I truly think so
Alex didn't even apologize to Buster and his family for the pain he's caused everyone.
Have a good weekend everyone 🎉
Thank you, 🙏🏻 you as well Giga!! 8:52
You too!👍
What a tough life when you’re a liar - that 911 call at the roadside shooting - plain laughable. Wow, Alex.
Very good summary of all the Murdaugh's crimes.
You both did a great job 👌
Ana, I was cracking up when you said, "who buys drugs with a cheque? It's a cash business". Hilarious🤣.
The family certainly had entitlement issues from the parents and filtered down to the children. Also having controlled the justice narrative for decades upon decades, Alec clearly felt untouchable until the walls started to close in. And even when it was clear that he was running out of moves in this bizarre chess game he was playing, he STILL thought he was the smartest guy in the room and could somehow MIRACULOUSLY claim checkmate. Maybe it took this tragedy like this to end a generation of narcissism and justice control. Sad story. Tragic ending.
WHY DID HE KILL PAUL? COURT CASE WENT AWAY.
1. PAUL WAS DUE TO BE IN COURT IN 3 DAYS.
2. ALEC WAS BEING SUED FOR 50 MILLION.
THEY DID NOT DILIGENTLY DO ANYTHING
I think he had it all planned & set up… easy to have the guns on the cart or hidden at the kennels, a hole already dug to bury clothes & guns, raincoat, extra set of clothes, gloves, tarps available… how much time would that really take, if previously prepared… NOT much!
Absolutely! There are 1700-1800 ACRES OF LAND!!! He dug a deep hole in one of the corners of that property.
Looking forward to the video you guys do really great work. I’ll be back to share thoughts after I’ve watched.
Great team work! Thank you! Respectful, great insight and good jokes at times. 😊 I liked listening to you two.
😊
I have never watched any of the documentaries, I followed on my own and through other attorneys who are content creators. Personally I became invested at the time of the Steven Smith murder, while waiting for evidence on that an entire shitstorm of very serious crimes and criminal charges were being filed it was hard to believe this was for real happening. I have no doubt that Alex and Maggie we’re guilty of very bad parenting. They enabled Paul’s alcoholism from a very young age, and I truly believe that buster was romantically involved with Steven smith and that Paul was involved with his murder and Alex and Maggie were well aware. Regardless of all of this, prior to the murder trial Alex had filed an alibi motion which was heard prior to Paul’s phone being unlocked.....he went to great lengths to prove in court to judge Newman in that motion that he was not at the kennels at any time that evening. This motion was not allowed as evidence in the murder trial. There is so much more that is actually relevant to the murders that could have been presented at trial that was not
Have you gone to Mandy Matley series
She is a great investigative journalist
Who is actually the one
That discovered that the 4 million settlement
For the Satterfield boys
They knew nothing about.
“SHE FELL GOING UP THE BRICK STEPS”
Great podcast! you both do a good job of summing it all up.
Thank you Susan
Happy Friday Crime watchers ❤❤❤❤
He looks quite content in the mugshot.
I totally agree with you Ana, it matters. Plus, the defense took that special treament Alec has always received, because he himself believes he is entitle to it wearing badges all over the place and blue lights in his car, to their advantage saying that they missed evidence that would've proved the defendant innocent, go figure. He threw his buddies from the police under the bus. Had they done their job, the prosecution would have solved the case much sooner saving the State tones of time and money.
Well, the son/brother Buster is still Living his life in freedom. Is that justice? Scary family.
I wonder if Maggie had not come back that night would Alex had gone to the kennel and just killed Paul. ????
Paul WAS DUE IN COURT-- 3 DAYS FROM THE DATE HE WAS MURDER.
You notice how much emphasis he put on all the time he spent with Paul earlier that day. Was that the Love he showed Paul before he blew his head off.
According to the juror who spoke out it only took 45 mins to reach the verdict. There were 2 who initially thought not guilty & 1 was unsure. They probably just needed to nut out the details. To me the Snapchat video was damning. The timing proved noone else could have done this. I wonder if evidence has been buried with Alex's father?
Visiting the property sealed it for most of the jurors. There was no way for some mystery person to appear , kill two people, then slink away unnoticed.

👍Thank you Ana and Mr. Hamilton💗🙏
He also said no one else was there and lied about the lights put in his car with the permission on the stand and then the witness came on said no, I never gave him permission. The evil looks he was giving to witnesses and how he said to Maggie sister she didn't suffer and they planned this for awhile. I believe that cuz the gun had been missing for months. So I see that gun was missing for months cuz he had been planning it for awhile and wanted them there
To me, the timeline of when the murders happened will be & should be the crux of this case. No one really knows what time the crime happened. The video of the kenneled dog isn’t as compelling to me. Now, if we had heard an argument or gunshots, then I’d be more convinced of the timeline. It seems Alex’s team like many other people have just accepted the prosecution’s murder timeline.
Thank you all for reporting.
The way I see it anyone who is capable of committing the mountain of heinous crimes he has, especially the unthinkable massacre of his son and wife, and I think most would agree, we don't know the half of it, will be able to handle prison life. He is a true monster and will fit in well with inmates who are there for crimes equal to the atrocities he's committed.
As for the Murduch family's housekeeper- was her death an accident or murder? Why are not police checking out her case.
I agree that it really was check mate, game over when he took the stand. His voice on 8:44, recording, placed him right there...
He wasn’t respected. He was feared.
I was waiting for Anna to discuss that case. I’ll get back to watching the video.
