NOTE: This testimony was given outside the presence of the jury.
Why?
Yes why?
So will have no impact. We won’t forget it, the jury won’t know.
@@ninob411 The judge is ruling on whether or not prior bad deeds - esp. regarding AM's financial crimes - can come in. The prosecution wants to use these to explain the circumstances surrounding AM's decision to commit the act he's accused of, the defense is arguing the information is irrelevant. The judge has to determine whether it's more prejudicial or probative, and whether it is appropriate testimony to be presented before the jury.
@@theMMAdhatter good helper
This guy put up his own money to cover his friend. Unconscionable.
$192K. He will never see a dime of it. He paid it to keep his reputation. Alex really messed himself and so many others lives. It wasn’t fair for him to do others the way he did. (Of course innocent until proven guilty)
Of course AM didn't mind signing promissory note for Chris. Like his word, it meant absolutely nothing.
@@northerngirl1637 it's in writing so he still owes chris
@@gailmorra - That note is as good as his word.
@@gailmorra - Unless he can burn that note for heat it’s worthless. Alec has no money and never will have any money. He also owes millions of dollars to many many people. That money is gone.
I can feel his anger from him just watching this. He is clearly betrayed and still in shock.
Oh yeah. I can see raw pain and anger. He is like WTF in his head every second. You know it when you see it.
More hurt than anger.
What a devastating end to a lifelong friendship. The ripple effects of these crimes is deep
Money....the root of all evil.
@@Michelles222 Money..the root of all kinds of evil.
Therein is on show in current events in this world on a global scale. Same as via WEF. Money the root of all evil .
He had every advantage life could give & he threw it all away because of greed & a narcissistic personality. So many relationships & lives ruined. May God have mercy on his soul. May Maggie, Paul, Gloria Satterfield, Mallory Beach & Stephen Smith rest in peace.
@@Michelles222 money and 🍺 too
Alex Murdaugh downfall is self inflicted. Greed was his downfall.
Do you think it was simple greed (just wanted $$), or there was a driving motivator related to a specific issue, i.e. gambling, drugs, a second family maybe(?)
@@houseofsolomon2440I think it was both.
Greed and absolutely no boundaries or decency.
I think he thought he was untouchable and going to get away with this, the drug use also changes a person . He’s been doing it for years and I think completely lost his ability to think clearly. Just my opinion.
ego and pride too.
Man this witness seems like the nicest guy ever. A true friend anyone would be lucky to have.
I’ve worked with him. He IS the nicest guy.
@@CaptainStaySea are you serious??? OMG my heart breaks for this guy! I hope you go to him and tell him that many people were heartbroken 💔 during his testimony and he comes off as a very honest nice best friend anyone could have!!
I thought about writing him a letter it all affected me so badly! This man needs 100 hugs 🤗 and encouragement reliving that horror, as he sure didn’t deserve all that betrayal as a loyal friend! 😫 hope he didn’t lose his law license and/or his family if he had a wife?
Very credible witness. I feel for this guy.
This guy proved AM was desperate and didn’t care who he walked over .
I want to believe Alex... It's not going that way. If I were on the jury it wouldn't be looking good.
I feel bad for him as well. At the end of the day this man is a victim just like everyone else but it’s personal because this man looked at Alek as a life long friend, colleague that he trusted, and probably though of him like family. That’s a lot of money $170,000. I think it was that he had to take from his own money. Sadly, I think Alek/ Alec knew his world was caving in but instead of facing it head on, I truly feel he thought the only way out has the take his wife and son out. The son that was doing more than his fair share of helping the ship sink. As a parent, I just can’t wrap my brain around him taking their lives. Yes, he probably would have lost his wife, etc. And do jail time for all the financial crimes but now his hole is so deep, I don’t see him climbing out it. If he’s capable of harming his family he loved🙈 I can’t imagine what else this man is capable of😭🙏🏼
@@robertsweeney5635 this testimony will never be shown to the jury.
Lol and the jury don’t have smart phones 😅
My family had over 50k stolen from someone we trusted. It’s awful. I feel for this man.
Same!
Same!
i would appreciate it, if u change it to $50k
I had a step relative who was a corporate attorney who stole millions from his firms clients. He also lived lavishly. He lost everything and ruined his family.
@@draco2xx weird request from some rando who could have scrolled lmfao
Must be so hard to be betrayed by a friend like this! I really felt bad for this guy!
oh yeah, I was just thinking, wow with friends like Alex who needs enemies?
Who’s he answering to at this point, god or his murder friend
Me too, so sad to have a best friend do you this way.
Alex has betrayed literally everyone he ever knew. He is made for the death penalty. There is no redemption for this piece of garbage.
I couldn’t forgive betrayal especially over money..
Alex is a HORRIBLE father, husband, and friend smh unbelievable!
Because he’s a massive Narcissist. Notice how he wipes his own dry eyes here when the man on stand starts genuinely crying to try and mimic the emotion.
It blows my mind that the defense is calling people to the stand and having them say really cringe crap like "he (Paul) was the apple of his eye". It's pretty obvious that those glowing descriptions of Alex's relationships with Maggie and Paul have been extensively rehearsed.
I know that Maggie was texting friends saying that Alex was acting suspicious, I can't wait to hear from those friends.
@@ItsSVOit’s unreal Alex didn’t care about anyone but himself and money!!! Just wow 😮 true narcissist! It’s sad all he betrayed and most horrible betrayal of Paul & Maggie after all those years of marriage! Omfg 😫 can’t wrap my mind around this man’s crimes and money as the motive!!!
@@MissSpaz the sad thing is, Narcissists present themselves extremely well to the people around them and appear as the most ideal person you might meet, so those people aren’t necessarily lying. The issue is that everything Narcs do to appear a certain way is all false and purely manipulative.
For an example of this, look at how many people who knew or were close to Ted Bundy describe him and how they couldn’t believe he could possibly do the things he did. It’s because they don’t know the real him, only the version of himself he knew would win them over for his gain. Narcs a extremely dangerous because of this, they play on peoples good nature and empathy.
@@ItsSVO yes he mimics whoever is on stand. Also it’s been noted Alex is eating sunflower seeds.
I'm about the same age as these two guys and it would devastate me to have to get on the stand and testify to the truth about a friend of 30 years. I don't know how this guy kept it together as well as he did.
I don't think I would keep a friend like Alex...
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Yeah, it's heartbreaking. You would feel like you never really knew or know anyone 💔
It’s easy to tell the truth
@@source2950 I think you must have misunderstood what The OP was actually conveying...
This man is REAL deal, he resonates extremely honest and trying to do right thing without destroying Alex. He is heartbroken that he didnt question Alex more BEFORE .
There was mutual respect and you can see that Alex is ashamed.
Sad all the way around.
Alex was really successful
but it was never enough….the greed took over.
And as he sits there, he knows Alex blew his son’s head off. That is some heavy stuff.
@@darcymoon2109 lmao not even remotely true. Emotional maturity of children to think that being a thief makes someone a murderer.
@@darcymoon2109 yes, chris appears to be blaming himself, he thought he KNEW a.m., now he knows it was all lies. thats a devastating experience to realize that a "bff" was NEVER real.
@@-Monad- Lots of folks have addiction issues and would never think of killing , a murderer is a murderer, with or without addiction. The millions of dollars AM stole cannot be blamed on addiction, the math doesnt math. So we can only conclude that AM is a ruthless, selfish SOB and pretty good actor, bcz he fooled everyone EXCEPT maggie.
You know a witness is 100% credible when the defense has zero questions. Pretty sure he just sealed Alex's fate.
Not necessarily the jury wasn't in the court room. If the judge allows him to testify in front of the jury then yes you would probably be correct.
@Trevina King I don't anticipate any reason the judge wouldn't allow it. The guy is guilty as sin so I sure hope nothing prevents the true depth of corruption in this family to be known throughout this trial. His other son may have been 'cleared' but I also think he's just as shady as his dad. There's just something off about him.
Apparently Alex's lawyer is part of the same friend group.
@@kanadiangurl it’s a standard of court cases that the evidence can’t become overwhelmingly become about another pending crime.
This means even if relevant this case can’t become or talk too long about the financial crimes case. Because the jury outcome can’t unintentionally be swayed by the other crimes.
@@krissyrific understood 🙂
What a way to discover that your friend & colleague is a psychopath
Very credible witness. I believe everything he said.
His heart is broken, too.
No question !!!
This had to be heart wrenching for him. My God 💔
Pure shame from Alex….
He’s absolutely telling the truth, so sad.
What a awesome man & friend. If only we all get to be so lucky to have a true, real, genuine friend like this in our life 🙏🏼❣️
It’s so rare……
@@ronpedersen6649 yes sir it is~
I was thinking the same!
You have to be honest regardless...
You’re right. He was a true friend.
Imagine having $200k to cover someone.
IKR?! I've got about $52 in quarters in a glass jar I could loan them but that's about it.
@@drakea.5816 These are older men in an established profession which has the ability to make millions of dollars a year. $200 isn't so much for them.
The betrayel is just beyond words.
The fact he killed his own son is terrifying.
And took money from his personal injury clients….some who ended up losing their homes and he KNEW about it!
Gloria Satterfid’s sons also lost their trailer.
Despicable
@Sara Fox from what I'm understanding, he didn't have insurance on his wife or son so he wasn't collecting money but he didn't have the money that he was being sued for over his dead sons misdeeds
and...just before you see the two of them having fun in a field with a tree. They seemed loving.
I’d say…
Where’s the evidence that he pulled the trigger to kill his son?
I never thought I would feel compassion for a personal injury lawyer, but I really feel sorry for this poor guy. Betrayed by a man who was your close friend for decades.
My heart breaks for this man. Alex has left a trail of murder, destruction, lies and death behind him.
That is a bit far to go you do not know if any murder or death has been left behind this man. Steal does not equate to blowing your sons head off.
That’s what drugs do to a soul.
@@joanbelmont5450 I don't believe it was drugs.
@@deed2157 what you believe doesn't make it so! Drugs change the Brain and thinking !
@@berdellfleming5074 I didn't say drugs don't change the brain and thinking. I said I don't believe it was drugs that he was taking. Even people that worked with him said he never acted like someone that was using substances and was very thorough in his works. Being addicted to drugs affects all aspects of your life including in the workplace.
Heartbreaking. Talk about an authentic witness. So sad
He is DONE! I felt so bad for Chris!
@16:55 the most touching part " .. I had loved the guy for so long and I probably still love the guy but I was soo mad " * *fighting back tears* *
It's tough to watch
So hard to watch. This poor guy 😢
It broke my heart.
Chris Wilson seems more upset about what happened than Alex! ***to clarify I’m talking about when he’s talking about after the murders*** He seems more shaken that his friend would do this.
Why would you expect Alex to?
@B Amazing because that's how he feels. Geez he is entitled to his opinion.
That's because he is more upset than Alex lol. The ONLY THING Alex is upset about is being caught.
@@gennyolson2257 he expects Alex to be more upset about a theft than the guy he stole from? What?
My heart goes out to all the victims, alive or dead. AM is a disgrace to humanity
But 2 even think he could kill wife and son....
He should hsv faced his demons,his crimes..not kill family..he could get thru it..
There is nothing redeemable about Alex Murdaugh. Nothing.
This is a case where everyone loses. There are no winners.
AM as in Elick Murdock?? (Alex Murdaugh) but I spelled it in pronunciation this time…
I cry for this man. He seems like such a genuinely good person and so genuinely hurt by all this 🥺
He killed his family! I have no sympathy for him!
@@jakeh3144 I believe the person who made this post was talking about the witness, not the defendant.
@@staceyjohnson2929 yes thank you lol ... That seemed kinda obvious 😅
@@jakeh3144 I was speaking of the witness. Terrible to think anyone would ever feel an ounce of sympathy for a man who murders his family.
@@staceyjohnson2929 yeah I know it was a joke
All the witnesses in this case have been just… mind blowing, really. Genuine. They’re all hurt and angry! That CFO lady was a savage. I feel terrible for this Mr. Evans, really all affected.
The level of pain and suffering he has caused family, friends, colleagues and others is enormous. I struggle to see why he hasn’t accepted a plea deal to avoid further misery for himself and everyone else.
Could be his defense attorneys don't want him to plead. I think they feel confident that they can get him off for the murders
@@tammieastman9997 I agree with you…I think he’s foolish to go along with it 😮
AM can't 'plea' bcos he is still chasing money. Maggie & Paul's life insurance 💰💰would slip away if he admits to killing them.
Even if not convicted of murdering his wife and son, he will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars due to financial crimes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed su*cide in prison.
He's arrogant enough to think he'll get away with it.
My heart goes out to this gentleman.
Jury deserves to hear this to establish state of mind.
I agree! It definitely lays the foundation!
Such a good friend that Alex didn't deserve. Alex used his friendship to his own advantage.
Sitting there pretending you are innocent while person after person dismantles you has to be emotionally draining...
Alex response: "You can't squeeze blood from a stone."
What a friend he was to put up $192,000 of his own money like that. It would have ripped my heart to shreds.
This is what a true friend is. I wish I had a lawyer like this to fight my battles! It broke my heart to hear this man being screwed by a cheater and liar. Mr. Wilson, THANK YOU for all you have done and for being truthful and standing up for what is right. You, Sir, are a true Southern gentleman.
He was complicit in stealing from Murdoch’s clients. Read more!! How do you think they feel???he helped Murdoch steal from poor people
@@Notcherbidness really!? I thought that where other friends/ business partners. I can't believe this man did steal anything. But there is more in this case I couldn't believe so ....
@@Notcherbidness Receipts Please.
Sad for this man. Bless him for telling the story.
Every time someone is saying something correct about his accusations, he bobs his head up and down like he’s saying… yes.🤷🏻
Right .. I noticed that too. And he did it when Paul’s best friend said he her Alex on the snap chat video . Not good for him at all lol. I was debating if he was guilty or hired someone but after hearing him in the video he totally did it
Disagree. It’s something he does whenever he becomes emotional.
Disagree that he is bobbing. He is rocking like an autistic child. And it is a total affectation.
AM has a tremor that’s why his head shakes like that ❤
@@caroltaylor9499 but his tremors only happen when he gets emotional
This was one of the saddest testimonies I have ever seen. This man was an incredible friend to Alex for 30 years. The betrayal this man must feel must be overwhelming. What really got me was when he said even after all this he still loved his friend. A long friendship that abruptly ends in such a terrible way is like a death. When he was looking at Alex he had so much pain in his eyes. I hope in time he is able to process this.
Well said.. in many ways though- it would be worse than a death.. because had it been a death.. then his wife and son would still be alive.. and this poor guy, wouldn't be pondering if he actually really knows anyone. Such a horrible case- the fall out is so far reaching 💔
I pray for healing for Mr. Wilson. It looks like he needs to heal. It’s obvious the betrayal is still hurting him deeply.
I agree. It’s terrible
💯
Betrayal? Chris was legally obligated to send those fees to PMPED he knows how the works and fee payouts. Chris openly helped Alex steal that money from PMPED when he wrote the to Alex. He owns a lawfirm he knows fees don’t go to an attorney privately. He was involved.
Probably even worse than the loss of the money is the realization that he was never a true friend. And that he was just being used the entire time.
oh man, and how many times (hopefully few) that has happened to some of us?
I had loved this man for so long and probably still love him, that broke my heart. Poor man.😢
Such a straightforward compassionate man. I appreciate his integrity. His wife is very lucky 🍀
🇮🇪🍀
I thought the same thing!
This is a true upstanding man!Loved his so called friend ,we should all be lucky to have someone in are life like him!
our, not are
You are naive. This good ol boy network was complicit is money laundering for Murdoch’s stealing from his clients
Alex should have plead guilty, putting his friends and family through all this is another slap in the face to them all. It’s clear he’s treated them all horribly and more than likely killed his son and wife….putting them all through this just shows he’s not sorry for anything…lying to try and get out of all his wrongdoings.
NOT A GOOD PERSON.
He is very emotional though. So it seems he definitely understands the gravity of the situation and isn't an insane man. He's a troubled man. But not insane.
@@ivotenotocensorship5247 Yes he’s very emotional, I have a heart and can see his pain but he wanted to get away with this clearly by pleading innocent.
He’s very emotional too because he’s looking back at all the mistakes he’s made….that’s why he shouldn’t have put everyone through this.
No way he’s getting out of this……but he’s hoping he does and if by chance that happened he’s still the same person that killed his son and wife and stole money from his friends.
@@ivotenotocensorship5247 He is emotional only because all his BS is being AIRED..
@Cc Maloy i disagree. I think Alex is guilty of every last crime hes accused of, and i dont think he ever would have stopped if all of this didnt come out. I think he needs to pay the consequences for the crimes, but I also think his emotions are genuine regret. I believe he had/has a gambling addiction and he was willing to do whatever it took to not only continue to feed his addiction, but also make sure people didnt find out the truth. His emotion while watching that snapchat video of Paul's was real. It was him remembering that day and those moments and what he did. Hes had similar visible emotion during this testimony and Pauls friends when he spoke of the Murdaughs being second parents to him.
@@emoliver80 My only regard would be, that I hate the one moment he's expressing sadness but in the same breath when one says something that makes him uncomfortable he'll display body gestures of being mad and or angry that one is saying something he doesn't like..
It cost his friend $192,000 and Alex is like..oh well, what bs can I tell him to get him off my back! I really hope the Judge allows some of this in!
I can feel the pain in this poor man. I wish people could have seen Alex for the narcissistic person he is. Then they would have known that Alex would never kill himself but everyone else was in serious danger!!!
yes. $700,000 would be a motive to have killed this guy too!
His whole Family are Narcissist. His entire Family has been in Law for decades. Can you imagine the Books they have thrown at people, I Wouldn't even wanna know that one😳 and this man is Not the only person that he has Done this way, There Are way More.
@@tinabibbs It was said that the family decided who got arrested and who didn’t around here. (Until this all happened.). Law enforcement and judges in their pockets - or at the very least good graces. One deputy in another county was fired after the boat accident for very questionable reasons. A State Trooper was ignored about his suspicion regarding the Steven Smith “hit and run” case. The corruption runs deep!
@@lynnhoffman247 Thanks for that info.
Whooa!!! if they started to look into Cases it would be Awfully Insane!! It's Creepy! Take a look at there familys photo ( the siblings that worked in the Court System). It speaks for it self. The saying * a Pic speaks a thousand words, is True,*. This wasn't his first ( wife/son)
This is the one that Caught up to him. The way the trial is going.. is Exactly how he made / & his family.. made Others suffer. The Tabes have Turned, and the Witnesses are Testifying & speaking truth. They are Not lying or covering Anything up. ( that's not what he use too)
* Ain't No Fun, when the Rabbit has the gun*
My heart goes out to this man.......he has a good heart and he was completely betrayed by A.M.
Who is A.M.? Alex Murdoch?
Malignant Narcissists will eventually betray anyone who gets in their way of the false bravado and greedy people they are.
@Jeff B. wow you should be a detective!
The most terrifying words Alex will ever hear: "Will the defendant please rise".
Privilege will give him the lightest possible sentence
or " Has the jury reached a verdict" i bet 10.00 he collapses when the verdict is read ,Guilty or not
If he's convicted of double murder its life. The other charges are financial crimes

This is heartbreaking, he is so hurt. Must have been so hard to be on that stand.
Alex has to be thinking to himself he'll get away with this too...he owns the town! Getting away with murder for decades 🤬
I think he knows his goose is cooked.
This guy is genuine,a true friend how sad he was F-D over !
I don't believe Alex was an addict. He's a pathological liar.
I hate it when he rocks back and forth !!!! Guilty
Self soothing that he's trying to pass off as distress
thats how he works himself up to fake cry
It’s what people with disorders do when they cannot control a situation. They self sooth to try to retain control.
@@jenniferbailey5914 It can also be 100% fake.
I think it was fake self soothing cause I think he is a sociopath and don’t experience emotions like that. He just thinks there is a chance someone will feel sympathy for him.
I felt so bad for this man testifying today 💔
This is a real friend. He is ending his best friends self destruction right here and saving his life. He is going to be behind bars but at least his friend will be alive.
Guys willing to steal millions from friends and family for millions, no reason to think he wouldn't kill. Guy is guilty as can be.
Too many dead people surrounding this family for it to all be a coincidence
EXACTLY
Why isn't Buster dead too. He now knows all.
The defense team is mortified
They are LOST!!! Look how worried they look!!!
@@Juke582 time for a plea deal. Making people go through this. Admit his guilt n serve time
The defense team is seeing the same reality that is hitting Murdaugh. His days of lying and stealing and ultimately, killing his family, are over.
Felt so bad for this guy. Betrayed and stolen from by his good friend. Alex your day is coming.
I'm so sorry for this poor man. His whole friendship was a lie. What a betrayal. You would never trust again
Alex didnt care about anybody but himself! Just look at the good people he has hurt. Drugs are no excuse. He could afford help.if he was so drug impaired, how was he mentally able to concoct all these schemes to steal money?
It’s Narcissism, they only care about themselves and everyone around them is an object they can use in one way or another. These people are never at fault either in their own eyes.
It’s a shame that certain parties will demonize others because of what this monster did.
I don’t believe he spent $8M on drugs alone…
@@lynnhoffman247 I wonder if he had a drug problem at all or if he was just trying to postpone going to jail!
@@Betsy-R I’ve heard he did (I’m local), but I don’t believe it was as bad as has been put forth by his defense.
I’m so grateful for this channel breaking testimony down into smaller pieces so we can see parts of the trial when we aren’t able to watch live!
Buster should be thanking GOD that he wasn't there because Alex would have murdered buster too. I hope buster realizes THIS!
Makes you wonder!
Buster will be in trial next for Steven Smith….
No! He made sure Buster was not there! He was mad at Paul blaming him for it all I bet! He tried to get Buster 10 million before he died! That was his fav son! He didn’t want to murder Buster. No….
@@Juke582 qqq
You ever sit and listen to all those jail house calls Alex made to Buster? He’s such a manipulating POS!
Alex phoned and lured Paul and Maggie to that house that night to murder them! Buster was never the target! Buster is not afraid of him as he is supporting Alex insisting he is not the murderer!
Just another example of familial annihilation by a parent whose financial misdeeds or lack of money period comes to light and the parent has no way out.
Props to Chris for not even looking at Alex
Must be so hard for the witnesses that were personal to get on the stand. I can’t imagine seeing my best friend across from me spilling everything. This has to be so hard.
i just want friends who 'don't push me' when I owe them 200k.
It wasn't that he didn't want to push him for it....he didn't want to push him when his wife and son were just found murdered because he was dealing with a lot, he didn't know he did it of course. No good friend would pressure someone they love for money when the person just lost their spouse and child, no one, it's likely part of the motive for doing it, he knew people would back off during a crisis.
No doubt, I want a friend like this guy
Right! 😂
WOW, this Gentleman breaks my heart. No best friend should have to go through what Chris went through.
I feel so bad for this man…..
The defense had the good sense to not try cross examining Mr Wilson. They would have looked foolish.
It’s sorta funny that the defense is arguing that fear of exposure of financial ruin and losing everything isn’t a logical motive for murder (even though there’ve been numerous cases that say otherwise) while arguing he was an addict for decades which can cause erratic and illogical feelings and actions. Which btw, is their reasoning for the roadside shooting.
Why would you believe AM’s given reason for what happened that night? I believe it was a fake attempt, to throw suspicion off of him. He was ONLY ever supposed to be grazed, then he could say, “The same people that killed my family are after me now! Boohoohoo!” It makes sooo much more sense, than him being willing to sacrifice himself for his son. Think about it….
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665 I’m not saying I believe his defense at all. In fact, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy and fallacy in it all.
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665 agree, if he was serious, he would have made it happen.
So the roadside faux-murder attempt was after his wife and son’s murder?
@@_KaiRos-11 Yes. About 3 months after. That’s what landed him in jail.
I think Alex is starting to realize that he’s heading to prison for a very long time! I notice he does quite a lot of self soothing, rocking back and forth
A trusted worker embezzled from my father. The betrayal was worse than the theft. I understand just how broken this gentleman feels.
My heart goes out to this man who was nothing but a fine friend, and was betrayed.
AMs betrayal of this man's friendship and trust is deafening. Mr Wilson is still hurting so bad. Unbelievable.
That Shaking his head Bit, is getting OLD Alex!! We Don't Buy IT!!! The Jury will Eventually TIRE of it, Too!!

The more he does it the more I can’t stand him!!
He is an absolute disgrace!!
What a vile , discusting man 🧐
I doubt it ,the juror is his peers..
It actually means he’s agreeing to what they are accusing him of.

You are very brave Sir.❤

Everyone that a narcissist touches gets betrayed.
A pained friend. I am so sorry for the disappointment your experience with your friend Murdoch.
Sorry, but it's Murdaugh. Let's let his proper name go down in history.
I wonder how Alex’s dad died. Hearing about Alex getting an inheritance from his dad makes you think……………….
The truth always reveal no need to be hostile.
Alex rocks back and forth when he has anxiety.
I feel for this friend you can tell he’s hurting for his friend, I say this as someone who’s best friend of 50 yrs just passed unexpectedly
My heart goes out to this witness. Gut wrenching 😭
That drug addiction story he only told that to his friend to distract from him stealing from his friend and the firm. That's what he does....distracting and manipulating to cover the ugly truth about himself. His friend seems like a loyal and good friend, Alex didn't deserve him as a friend
I’m not convinced of the drug addict story either. Just more bs in a long line of bs.
The Law Firm Am worked at payed all of the money owed in full to the family of the cleaning lady and the other family of the guy run over
This "former friend" of Alex's testimony was heartbreaking. Even though it was about the financials. He was obviously heartbroken of how Alex his friendship with Alex ended.
Why didn't the jury get to hear this compelling testimony?? When Alex said he'd do anything to make it right, he wasn't kidding. Life insurance x two.
Because the Judge has not yet decided what he will allow regarding Alex's financial crimes since this is a murder trial. These are hearings and not actual testimony at this point.
The judge has said he will decide tomorrow on whether to let the jury hear this testimony. This is what’s called a proffer.
If the judge agrees to let this testimony in, perhaps they could replay this video to the jury so the witnesses don’t have to testify all over again.
Being from South Carolina, both born and raised, being authentic and kind is simply who we are, for most of us. While of course, as expected, there’s a few bad apples (AM) but it’s true, people from the south never meet a stranger and having lived in Rhode Island for a few years now, I’ve learned their ‘way’ of life here and I’ve adapted. I’m not as outspoken or nearly as loud as I use to be…. But I’ll never lose my deep southern drawl, forget the sound of a slamming screen door, falling out of old tire swings, the need to have a small talk with anyone who’s around to listen, having the utmost respect for my elders or even on my worst day, have someone hold the door for me and not give them a smile and a genuine ‘thank you’. I miss being around people like the man on this stand. Just your average Joe with a good heart and the loyalty of a yard dog. ❤️
And they still vote for the criminal trump.
I am impressed by all of the witnesses so far-intelligent, calm, respectful and genuine.
Betrayal is the worst cut of any.
Alex is a total pos - stealing from his clients that needed that money - it would have changed their lives. He stole from the people who were in his circle of friends, I hope all his actions come with karma and he is held accountable for ruining peoples lives. This makes me so furious!
His accent is so comforting, I just love it
Ugh what a hard day this gentleman had. They were best friends for years…it breaks my heart
This man is very credible to me. He is a good soul.
If you look at Alex's face while his ex-friend testifies, tell me he knows he's done. I don't doubt he did this crime and why he didn't. He didn't want this information getting out he knew he'd lose his law license amongst everything else. That's an absolute motive for murder.
Could it be motivate yes. Does it proof he did it no. Sadly its not a strong case yet and there still is reasonable doubt easy. Could he have done it yes. Could it be someone else yes yes it could. So they arnt there yet that they did proof the case i hope they will. But sadly i have my doubt they will.
@Yvette common sense tells me the jury will find him guilty. Who else benefits from not only his son's death but also his wife???
@@the-finn your common sense aint proof that he killed them. You should count on proof not on common sense
@Yvette I didn't say common sense is proof, you misunderstood what I meant. Let's just say after hearing from his ex-friend who took the stand yesterday, it's my opinion this jury will find him guilty. You are certainly entitled to your opinion.
