  • Prosecutors allege that Alex Murdaugh's cell phone data puts him at the scene of his wife and son's murder at their South Carolina home. Evidence presented in court also revealed that the disgraced lawyer deleted most of his calls from that June 2021 night Maggie and Paul were found dead. The Law&Crime Network's Angenette Levy and GiGi McKelvey discuss the importance of this data.

      well sweetie, most people like to hear ALL evidence from BOTH sides before screeching guilt or innocence. So your comment is meaningless. I suspect if you were verbally attacked it was because of your smug ignorant comments. So laugh away because I and others have no idea as of yet if he is guilty or innocent because the trial has only just begun. So I suspect yes there are plenty who haven't made a decision yet because they aren't children and don't act on emotion and so will wait for ALL evidence. No idea why the laughing emoji because your comment is ridiculous. Guilty before proven innocent obviously with you. Hush.

      I think his 20 yr addiction to opioids clouded his thinking and he was desperate for $ and Maggie had a rental property worth $4 million. What if she didn't want to sell and what if she would divorce him after finding out he stole almost a million dollars from his law firm's partners and clients? Paul's murder makes his criminal charges go away for the boating accident that killed Mallory. I think Alex's plan was to sell Maggie's rental property and pay his partner's back to save his reputation and law license so he could open his own law firm with Buster and Father and Son could start over w/o any baggage that Paul created and he needed Maggie's property to do it and she wouldn't want to be a party to the murder of her favorite son. Buster settled out of court with Mallory's family and I'm sure it was a whole lot less than what Paul would have had to pay. Alex didn't count on Paul's friends ratting out Buster for giving Paul his driver's license and getting another one from the MVD claiming he lost it. Paul had loose lips and was facing felony charges for Mallory's death and so he had to go. Paul was shot in the 'chest and head' w/a shotgun whilst Maggie was shot 5 times w/an automatic rifle. 2 weapons to make it look like 2 perps.

So many cases that weren't properly handled/actual innocent people sent to prison while others wound up with ruined reputations despite not having committed a crime but ruined nonetheless by Murdagh's law firm and the feds not step in is an abomination.

Are you afraid your gonna miss a like on social media or some breaking news? Leave the phone at home or leave it at work by “accident”. I don’t want them to get away with the crime I just don’t know how not a single murderer ever thinks hmmmmm I should leave my electronics somewhere away from where I’m gonna get all murdery on people

    Between the phone pings, the video with 3 voices in it, and the phone counting steps, I feel a bit better about him facing justice, but I'm still worried. I think the police could have done a much better job. They never even searched his mother's property, when it's pretty clear he went there to hide evidence. And why delete his call logs? And have they subpoenaed his phone records? And he called the guy who's dog was ill in the kennels but never laid eyes on the dog himself? And he said he touched the bodies to check for a pulse but his son's brain was literally blown out of his head?

    It’s amazing the amount of data recorded by devices (smartphones and what not) that people just aren’t even aware of. They record, down the the hundredth of a second, when anything is done on a phone. Press the power button, unlock the phone, open an app, interact with the app, close the app, and lock the phone is all logged. But, people think “if I delete the phone calls from my phone, cops will never know!” Until a forensic analyst digs into your phone and finds a log of a phone call taking place and a log of that phone call being manually deleted from the user-visible call log, not to mention carrier logs that the average phone user can’t get their hands on. Just because you delete something from your phone doesn’t make it magically gone forever- there’s always a log.

    And the way it was acceptable for boys to leave their clothes & other possessions “all over the state,” as if they can just be easily replaced.

    Alex stole around 1 million dollars from his law firm that he had to pay back to save his reputation and law license so he and Buster could open their own law firm. Alex wouldn't be able to get another loan from his bank so he would need Maggie to agree to sell her property she inherited that was valued at around 4 Million. My guess is Maggie refused and why he killed her or paid someone to do it. Paul was the apple of Maggie's eye and she was going to make sure Paul had enough $ to pay the girl's family a settlement out of court so if Paul was murdered, that problem goes away for Alex except the investigation implicated Buster for giving Paul his driver's license to buy booze that night of the boating accident that killed Mallory. Alex transferred Maggie's estate into Buster's name so he could settle out of court at a lower amount than Paul would have to pay for driving drunk. I think all these deaths were orchestrated by Alex for $ so He and Buster could start over in their own law firm. I think Maggie would have considered divorcing Alex after he lost his partnership at his law firm for stealing $972,000 from his partners and clients.

      Not really the same. Polygraphs aren’t admissible in court and they can be manipulated with practice. Phone records are admissible and are very hard to fake these days.

    The sound is so low on this channel. It's always like this, so strange when you have such quality content. I usually take off to another channel. I find it really frustrating

    I’ll bet he was excited to get the guns for his boys, it’s always more fun to spend OTHER PEOPLES MONEY. People keep talking about how “affluent” they were. They were OBVIOUSLY beyond broke, or he wouldn’t have been stealing from his clients! 🤦🏻‍♀️. He was a BROKE monster.
