Murdaugh family is an example of growing up privileged, entitled, and never hearing the word No. Their legacy will forever be synonymous with greed, gluttony, and corruption.
and maxed out white privilege. They all have that plantation owner inbred look.
@@PHlophe: I would bet that the Murtaugh family are descendants of carpetbaggers & they are just as bad as "plantation owners".
@@raydavison4288 Sorry but the "plantation owners", their violent slave masters & their "veterinarians" should have been charged for their crimes of kidnapping, torture, assault, rape, castration, murder, etc. before being publically hung & left twisting in the wind until the gallows was needed for the next slaver...
And that's who the reeee people voted to lead them.
Just like Federal politics.
Trump..
So , basically, raising your children to be entitled, spoiled brats will lead to bad consequences for generations. 😕
who knew!
Basic take away.
Well my kids won't have that problem.
They say that the third generation loses the money ,but not in this case . If the third generation had lost it all , then the fourth and fifth would have been fine . So sad , too bad . Thankgod my Great Grandfather’s fortune was dispersed in my father’s time . 😂
that is what the saying “the sins of the father will be visited on the children” means
Everyone thinks it means that children are RESPONSIBLE for what their father might do wrong…but it isn’t.
It is that what a father does will have life experience consequences for following generations, the descendants are AFFECTED by the actions.
.286 blood alcohol level while operating a boat in the dark in complex waterways. Total disregard for the lives of the people around him.
Disgusting. The judicial system is truly useless when it comes to the rich
Everything I’ve seen says Paul wasn’t given a breathalyzer test?
@@barbm1001 He was given the breathalyzer hours later at the hospital from what I understand. So the .286 was after hours of no booze.
I think they all knew he’d been drinking. Not too bright to all get on a boat but then again they were probably drinking too.
All too common immortal thinking of a teenager.
It’s important to note Alex had millions but stole the money from insurance meant to go to his deceased housekeepers sons. One son was taking care of his disabled brother when their trailer home foreclosed and rendered them homeless while wealthy Alex still picketed all of their money. His alibi also has not checked out during the murder of his wife and son and everyone in his life, including his loved ones, have testified against him. The kids on the boat all testified that Paul hit his girlfriend and drive naked and recklessly out of anger as they begged him to stop. They crashed and Mallory died. This is the most vile family I’ve ever heard of and the scary thing is this power has lingered in the south for generations but the “good ole boys club” is slowly dying.
You summed that up very well
Nay the good old boy club will always be there even when there no more Alex because there more there just like him money ,power , hiding in the shadows they all had there hand in the cookie jar with Alex people will be surprised who they are if ever found out .Guess just like Epstein little black book powerful people in it guess someone shut him up . Remember keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Drugs are expensive. Excorts are too... Especially if you want them to keep quiet.
And as you know this video is from 1.5 years ago.
You forgot to mention how awful Maggie was on the phone call to 911 when Gloria Satterfield fell on the steps. It really inconvenienced her day! Horrible family, all of them, even the family still alive sticking up for the dead ones and Alex!!!
Dr. Grande always teaches me something new in each and every video, but today, I learned that having an intact head is important in remaining alive.
👀😳😂
🤣 He has a dry sense of humor.
😂
A valuable lesson.
honyatarding, too funny! You made me LOL!
"As having an intact head is important to remaining alive".... this is why we have to pay attention to the video. No lead-up to the great one liner, no drum roll, just strolls along and hits us with the best line ever
The problem with this is the problem that we have to get this done and not go back to the security office to see what happened with this problem
This family reminds me of the "affluenza" case, where the young boy committed vehicular homicide of several people while he was also "under the influence." He received a slap on the wrist, after which he and his enabler mother went on th run to Mexico. Lovely people, aren't they?
Sickening. Simply sickening.
@@ghosttowntomato Many of the wealthy are disqusting human beings. And prosecuters are not too good most of the time either..Pigs!
I saw that video and how little concern the young man had for anyone hurt
Disgusting.
They're related
I'm a native local to the area, live close to the Murdaugh law firm actually. My entire life I've always heard if you wanna make some shit go away, you talk to Alex and he'll hook you up lol. Paul was only a year or two older than me so we had a few mutual friends and our parents went to highschool together. I've heard from mutual friends that Paul was a chronic alcoholic and that all he'd ever do at parties was stand in the corner with a bottle and drink liquor. It's absolutely crazy seeing this story being talked about by so many people.
@Millicient Aspinet a lot of people think Paul killed his mom and Alex killed Paul either in self defense or because he killed his mom/Alex's wife
@@Alex-kg4ko Bingo!
@@Alex-kg4ko So Alex would have blood spatter from being there defending he & his wife. What makes that plausible is Alex is an atty & he should know CSI! SO MANY DEATHS! Maybe Paul did them all with Buster trying to protect little bro with st killing. God knows!
Multiple murders and theft of millions will get people's attention
@@Alex-kg4ko I have tried to wrap my head around this, but the only reason I can think of for Paul killing Maggie is that it was a plan that Alex came up with to keep all of the estate. Then Alex cleaned up the mess and only witness by blasting his own son. I tend to believe that if Alex did it, then he shot both of them. Maggie first with Paul's gun that is now missing, then Paul coming out of the storage room to check what was happening. Or Alex somehow got lucky and left the kennel right before two killers arrived. The latter seems less likely tbh.
There is an allegation now that Alex defrauded the housekeeper's family out of insurance money also.
$4,000,000, part of the $10 million he stole
Yes, Gloria, the housekeeper had raised Paul and Buster. She had worked for them 25 years. She had 2 sons and 1 was sadly mentally retarded. Alex told them, he would take care of them after Gloria’s death. The boys were living in their mom’s trailer and Alex let them lose the trailer and become homeless! That is certainly evil! Alex actually had a 4 million dollar insurance policy on Gloria! I hope he goes to prison! 😡😡
@@j.z.j.1559 🤬
Terrible ..karmas working now
Murder in the Murdaugh family. Enough drama for a made-for-television series, as well as some possible urban legends. Thank you for your analysis, Dr. Grande!
Netflix take note. Mix in a little ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil’ and make it doubly compelling
Did Murdaugh get 1st Degree Murdaugh?
Dallas + Dynasty = Murdaugh
This is where his son will get the money..a movie will be made
Funny thing is this plot has similarities to the new season of Dexter. In this season Dexter sets his signs of the rich, entitled bratty son of a wealthy, powerful local. The kid killed innocent people by recklessly crashing into their boat.
There's no way he spent millions and millions of dollars on opioids. Gambling, that's where millions go, imo. And that's just the millions missing from the law office, what about the 3 million from the death lawsuit of the maid.
Privilege and greed ruined this family, addiction is secondary
True, you die before spending millions on drugs.
True, heroin addiction would cost probably $50k a year ish maximum I believe.
Could also have gone for bribery or blackmail. Dirty guys have dirty problems.
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665 ^^ Yes your theory fits best, IMO so that- and additionally possible "pay-off"/hush money for the MULTIPLE sh!t sons' involvement in just two of the cases of extremely hideous behavior with tragic outcomes *that we know about* where each were tied to the heartbreaking deaths of two other young people; their alleged involvements/culpability therein ranging from "definitely responsible" as to the belligerent BUI resulting in a death and endangerment of his friends, to "cmon. this kid idiot did it" (my very unprofessional opinion) in regards to the hit and run. "there's no get out of jail FREE card" as they say, so payoffs and dirty under the table transactions is where I'd put my money on this one too
dangit that last pun was gross & definitely unintended
I knew a guy in high school who was similar in personality and behavior to the prosecutor’s son. His parents came into large sums of money by selling off land that had been in their family for generations and by renting out small, run down homes in the community. He was arrogant and behaved in ways that screamed, “I’m entitled!” He waved 100 dollar bills around in classes and at school dances and football games. We all lived in a small town in the 1970s when inflation was rampant, so he used his money to impress everyone and to get his way. He married a beautiful, sweet girl right out of high school, but she divorced him a year later due to his drinking, drug use, abusive behavior, etc. Long story short...he ended up broke, living in a broken down mobile home and alone...he’s still a womanizer and still drinks and occasionally takes drugs. He caused much heartache over the years and he was arrested many times...his family will have nothing to do with him.
“It’s something he didn’t use anyways, so why not shoot it!” 😂🤣💯✅ another platinum hit Dr.G!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Another platinum hit"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was delightfully delivered. 😂🤣👍
One thing that wasn't mentioned, Alex's wife had hired a forensic account to go though the family"s personal account. It is reported she had found irregularities. Then she ends up dead.
Yup. I heard this, as well. That Chapter.
Yeah but I think that she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.. but who knows? Whole family was f**ked up apparently
Hear that one,
I thought I'd read that also.
Alex had them both killed. A "two for one" deal. Get rid of the kid with a pending murder trial and also the wife who was getting ready to take him to the cleaners. Alex I suspected staged the scene for the housekeepers death and then manipulated the financial payout from her death with his cronies. I hope justice will be served.
I notice you did not mention that Gloria Satterfield had 4.3 million dollars of life insurance. Since when does someone take out 4.3 million dollars of life insurance on the life of a housekeeper? This alone makes her death highly suspicious.
She had no life insurance. That 4.3 mil was homeowners policy plus an umbrella HO policy
@@follybeachusa I think it's just as suspicious to have a limit that high on AD & D clauses in homeowners insurance policies. Typical limits are much lower.
That was home owner's insurance...he had a large home and when someone slip, falls, and completely dies, your homeowners insurance is about to get sued for everything it's worth.
It wasn’t life insurance. It was a lawsuit against Alex’s homeowners insurance, which he offered the family to do on their behalf.
@@swerne01 yep. They changed it one mine prior.
Paul had a $30m dollar lawsuit hanging over the family like a black cloud from the boat accident. It’s pretty clear why one son was targeted over the other one.
I’ve said from beginning son causing boat accident and girls death would have to go, guess wife had a good insurance policy to help him out too … very sad for surviving family members with morals ….
WOW YOU THINK SINCE HE LOST HIS LICENSE HE COULDN'T GET ANY OF IT. HE MANUFACTURED CASES TO STEAL FROM VICTIMS TO CONTINUE THEN INSURANCE MONEY POPPED IN HIS HEAD
30 million
I wonder if Buster was asked there that night but refused to come, makes you wonder..there’s more to come!
Alex was named in that lawsuit too, targeting Paul made no difference.
"Alex assumed he didn't use his head anyway, so why not shoot it?" Was optimum.
*brain
🤣
That had me LMAO!
Dr. Grande stays with the shade!
Deadly 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
This case is the gift that keeps on giving for the true crime fandom. Good grief it's a juggernaut.
Took the words right out of my mouth!! TV gold!!!
Gross comment, people died
word
"Had an alibi" has come to mean nothing to me.
My husband was playing a video game, next to me, as I played this. He commented on how good your commentary was. Nice quips too.
@Tony Tone Wow so randomly spoiling a nice comment with an insult, anti-vax nonsense, and not understanding what the word "commentary" means... you really are the whole package.
@Tony Tone I was just sitting here next to my dog and as I was reading aloud your comment he started to sniff his butt uncontrollably. He proceeded to wash his balls but in the end he made it clear your comment most reminded him of A -holes.
@Tony Tone I have no idea how bright her husband is, but I suspect he knows how to use punctuation.
That was like reading a temper tantrum. I guess, in a way, it was.
Seriously how are you people so comfortable with humiliating yourselves over and over again?
@Tony Tone 3/10 troll.
-Impressive display of both arrogance+ignorance.
-Hilarious hypocrisy in insulting someone else's intelligence.
Points taken for lack of creativity
@Tony Tone Not impossible.Those are the ones I like.
Seems like there’s so much more to this story than what we know still. I bet there’s a long list of people who hated this family.
Wait till Alex goes to prison!
That Chapter did a two parter on this case. Very in depth. You might want to check it out. It's entertaining, too!
@@JustDr.S Came here to say that! He explained everything with so many details.
@@kikilo9647 Yeah, Mike did a great job and I'm glad he did the update, too. Glad he gave it a goo! 😂
@@JustDr.S thanks I’m so intrigued I’m going to look this Channel up!
Unfortunately opiate abuse/addiction and cocaine use is not uncommon in the legal profession. I was shocked to find out my best friend’s lawyer son was introduced to drug use in a well known “party group” of lawyers, judges and physicians…
The sad part to me is that the Beach family has offered their condolences, even with having lost one of their own.
That is true class.
Very classy
The Beach family are good people. They have compassion.
Heartbreaking for the Beach family. I’m sorry for the loss of their beautiful daughter.
That's not sad, that's character. The Beach family has character and forgiveness.
This has been never ending here in SC. Just when you think you heard it all, more misdeeds come up. Alot of corruption going on here. You will probably have to update this weekly.
Loved you statement "Being powerful often leads to abusing power." And then laughed at the comment "Having an intact head is important to staying alive.," ;D
Love the incredible amount of work and care you put into all your content, and very much appreciate your unique, very witty humor! ♡
Great timing !!!....I just sat down after doing some gardening, now I'm getting my daily fix of Dr Grande.
Remember to breathe Maureen LOL
@@tomlewis5542 Lol...ok all good !!
Unlike Opioids or alcohol, addiction to Dr. Grande's videos is not unhealthy!
@@bthomson Ha ha ha...so very true.
I would love an update to this case after all that's been discovered during the trial 😳
Thanks for covering this. I've been following this case since Maggie and Paul were murdered. This case just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. I live in the Lowcountry and I think this family has been drinking way too much marsh water. And just as a side note, we don't say things the way they're spelled because that would be too easy; Alex Murdaugh is actually pronounced as ALEC MURDOCK. I know, I don't get it either. Just a real deep-fried Southern Gothic novel unfolding before our eyes.
Its a year later. Hes on trial for his wife & son's murder. I'd love to read your thoughts thus far.

The Prosecution has not done a great job of presenting the case. Alex was fired because of theft of firm and of victims represented by firm. The fire arm used on Alex was a 22. Alex was not seriously injured. The Prosecution has not presented a clear timeline of events. Good chance the jury will hang. Court TV, Law and Crime are carrying the trial. Emily D Baker a legal commentator is carrying the trial .
Read several generations of crimes not only AM's crimes! This families was allowed to be rich , substance use age , & powerful. Has karma followed?
Best real murder & crime
stories Years of more discoveries to come to light! Stay tune! 📖📚

Whenever addiction is involved, there is a lot of drama and secrets. Sometimes the drama is there to deflect..
Good point!
Thank you for this Dr.Grande this family tree has shaken a few bad seeds out, I hope all the victims get justice .
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
How timely that I stumbled upon this video, since the trial of Alex Murdaugh for murder is currently in progress. This reminds me of the OJ Simpson trial where the defense is stacked with the best lawyers. Thank you Dr Grande for your detail analysis and hopefully you will provide an update review of this trial.
The evidence is all circumstantial 🤷🏼♀️.
He was found guilty yesterday, too.
This is one of the strangest recent cases... Like a web of knots caused by repeated coverups of continous crimes.
This is the craziest story in a long time!!!
I always try to keep my head intact. It has worked for me for 65 years.
It's easy to find strong suspects in a family where so many people around them are dying.
Overly indulgent rich Daddy is overly protective of his self-important punk son, leading to horrific shotgun deaths of his family and taking a bullet (sort of). And now he's going to face REALLY BIG prison time. I bet he gets 20+ years just for what they've got on him so far. PERFECT!
DC Kidd you predicted it correctly! Guilty with two consecutive life sentences.
I love how quickly you get to the point and how calm you are during your presentation. Also, your subtle humor. It was Packed full of information in a short period of time as well as very interesting. Thank you
Power and greed always has unhappy ending.
Great video Dr Grande as always!!!
Dr. Grande thanks for doing an analysis on this disturbing to everyone case. Reinforces my belief that just because someone is from a family that is a lot richer with old money that doesn't automatic mean their lives are a lot easier than mine is.
Yep. Nor does it mean they automatically operate from a place integrity, dignity and compassion and, gratitude for their material largess.
Money has ruined many lives and families. Leisure is dangerous for those without morals and self-control. And after you have driven a $250,000 car for six months, it's just your car.
This has all the elements of the type of intrigue characteristic of a novel by Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides, The Great Santini, Lords of Discipline), though I suspect that even that venerable South Carolina writer could have come up with so many fascinating twists and turns in a story.
You are so right on with your comment!!!
Much like, "Who shot JR?"
Agree, Richard. I have been feeling the Prince of Tides motif for months!
I look forward to the wit of Dr Grande possibly more than the subject matter. He just keeps such a straight face. Priceless! Keep it up 'Doc'.
Always interesting.
Your analysis is spot on.
Your humor is outstanding.
Peace 💕🇺🇸🇺🇸💕
Dr. Grande has moved from wearing ties to wearing button-down shirts, loose around the neck- and so I feel like a little kid seeing her teacher in Target for the first time. 😳
I would like him to roll up his sleeves a bit for a relaxed look 😌🇬🇧
MM - Always a bit of a shock but a nice realization that they are just people too!
😂😂
hahahah this is APT. hilarious love it
Oh my gosh all these comments about sweet Doc is cracking me up. Thanks for the chuckles .🫢
Eventually, this story of drugs, ego, and greed will make its way into a movie or book. But, first, justice must be done.
Justice is not here on earth.
There's something already on Netflix about the murders and Murdaugh.
What the heck ????.....I'm going to have to watch this about 20 times to wrap my head around it !!
Based on local comments on fb article posts on this story, I think calling the family "beloved" is a stretch..."feared" may be a better term.
Far from beloved, I'd say!
Dr Grande- "...Because they're dead." Could I love this man anymore? I think not. (Proper use of ellipsis? 🙂)
Another great video!
Well Alex, if you're going to destroy a 100 year family legacy, do it to the best of your ability. Mission accomplished.
I hope Buster gets the help and support he needs.
Buster is the one who was thought to be involved in the car accident/shooting death of the young man, Stephen Smith.
@@JustDr.S I know it's possible he was involved but I just don't think so. There isn't a shred of evidence to tie Buster to anything. Just because he's a part of that family doesn't make him guilty in my mind.
If anything I would have to guess that dad and bro were ashamed that there was a rumored relationship between Buster and Stephen.
@@royalmichaels1289 I just wonder why it seemed to be so quietly and widely believed to be him immediately by so many people though. There are those that surely did not ALL have a true reason to assume his involvement beyond, like you said, merely being part of this family/assumptions based solely therein...but it's those that were close enough to him to be called in by state investigators, like the person in the short audio clip, that were scared and reluctant to even speak their name that definitely had me asking, well wait now why did they (the witness/one being questioned) not just rebuke the allegations right away about Buster, even if they had truly believed or even known him to be involved in Stephen's death? The reporting here that there were multiple or many people that acted this way, apprehensive to even speak his name one way or the other, is feeling idk sketchy at best. MAN! This case by case by case saga of this family is in a word: bonkers. Tragically and like neverending-ly bonkers.
@@1hawtMetz I love to hear from people like you who aren't afraid to look at the facts and put pieces to a story together and come to their own conclusion.
The reasons folks do this imo is that they don't want to think for themselves. They just take anything they are told and accept it even when it doesn't make sense. Similar principle as when interviewing a suspect you never give them the chance to deny. Once you make that first leap into doesn't make sense then it's easier and easier to go down that path and make even bigger stretches.
Imo, Buster is the living person suffering the most. I believe him to be different and that's probably part of what saved him from his family and from turning into them. I fully believe he is a victim.
Relationship? Like Stephen got Buster off a time or two by giving him a bj, and then treated him like a piece of crap
I seriously want this to be turned into a movie, a crazy comedy in the vein of Raising Arizona, with Jim Gaffigan playing Alex Murdaugh.
Only if he does that thing where he narrates his thoughts with that high-pitched voice :D
Yes please
Yes please.
In my cast of characters the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Alex Murdaugh…
Too soon to laugh at these tragic deaths 😢. Your suggestion is in bad taste.
“Having a intact head is important to survive.” Wow isn’t that a great truth! For mankind as well! Also having power often leads to abusing power! Both are why we must learn to correctly love ourselves to truth in one another! TT Dr Grande!
"Certain people will never be convicted of anything because they're dead", just goes to show that if you're determined enough you can weasel your way out of anything.
🤣 Good one!
👏👏👏
I’ve been waiting for your take on all of this since I saw the headline!! Thank you again Dr. Grande. You are a national treasure
This family…wow, it’s the craziest story. Too much money, too much influence, too much power-recipe for disaster.
Wasn't using his brain anyway...good one Dr Grande. As soon as I heard Alex had been shot I thought his story wasn't true.
Usually, when a family appears to be fiscally rich and all powerful -- under closer examination others will find a river of tears in which they will drown.
Love your rather biting humour. Gives me many chuckles!
Tante Heike, Voll lustig -:))
This one gave me xtra giggles! 😂 Clever Dr. Grande!
I really think this shows how damaging it can be when you try to 'protect' those close to you from the repercussions of their actions - as in most cases, preventing these repercussions (losing their job, going to jail etc) endangers them even more in the future as they are never forced to examine and change their ways, which can eventually lead to significant harm/death of themselves, or others
Especially when this pattern of covering is repeated with each generation.
I've listened to a lot of discussions of this story, but this one is the most amusing while still providing relevant information and clear analysis. Thanks!
Its always a grand time when Dr Grande uploads!!! Interesting and informative. Plus you get the bonus of his super sense of humour!!!
This case has so many twists!
Doctor, when I want my toast with no butter, I come straight to you! You are so, so awesome! Keep on keepin on, with love from Tulsa.
This family clearly abused their power. And clearly some people did not approve. Thank you for your analysis Dr Grande! Always informative! 💖💖
“Maybe Alex assumed his brain was something he didn’t use anyway, so why not shoot it?” Another golden nugget from Dr. Grande!
No expression on his face when he says it! Love it!
Nearly fell out of my chair on this one hahaha
Had to share that grande-ism 🤣
And as dry as the Sahara! He's a master of mummified sarcasm.
😂😂😂
Thank you for doing this...I live in SC and really have not heard much about this until the last month or so.
Not too surprising since cover up and power plays abounded!
@@bthomson There are so many different layers to these events and webs of lies. I hope everything can be solved and justice served.
Watch Eric Alan. He has amazing information on this case.
Just watching some of the footage of Murdaugh's trial. He seems to have been a thoroughgoing piece of work. He stole from his firm, his clients and even tried to steal the compensation for the family of his housekeeper who had worked for the Murdaugh family for twenty years.
It would be interesting to hear your take on the trial, Dr Grande.
Just learning about this Murdaugh family and reading about their past behaviours and all the murders that have surrounded them over the years. Sounds like the parents perpetuated in their boys a sense of entitlement and that they can get away w anything w/out taking accountability! Pretty disgusting. It appears that Alex has been orchestrating predicaments for years and used the police and bought them off/used pressure tactics. I wouldn't trust their tears as far as I could throw them!!
Whom the gods would bring low, they first make proud.
The hitman in this situation really is a professional.
Buster must be in hiding. After all, I personally believe Alex murdered his wife and son, Paul. I also believe Paul murdered Steven, and of course he was completely culpable for the death of Mallory.
But who killed the housekeeper?
I think Paul is suspected
Buster (real name Kevin) is the one suspected of killing Stephen Smith. They were friends, or something. So, all except the mom seem guilty of something or other.
Buster was seen leaving Edisto a day or two ago.
Why do you believe Paul killed Steven? As noted in the video, there is no actual information about why Paul was suspected in the death of Steven, except that he was questioned. But why was he questioned? Was he questioned as part of a group, i.e., anybody who knew Steven? Or some other reason? And Paul seems like a person with no redeeming characteristics, and yet why did someone kill him and his mother? Was it in fact revenge for the death of the girl on the boat, or was there some other reason? And again, given his other unhinged behavior, it seems quite possible that Alex may have murdered his wife and Paul, but again, why? There seems not to be much information about motives in this case.
Been watching you fir awhile now.. I love how many subscribers you've gained. Can't wait to see you reach 1 million.
YES! NO ONE DESERVES IT MORE!!!
I’ve been waiting for this… thank you’
Just got home from helping a friend work a booth selling her jewelry. Hot work at 85 degrees and 97 percent humidity outside! Now I can have a seat with a drink in front of the fan and enjoy some Dr. Grande. Perfect!
No chance of bad blood getting into the Grande line! Imho, one of the reasons so many of us respect Dr G and his work is his inherent decency, it’s so comforting and inspiring in this troubled world. I think many, if not most of us have lost all faith in those meant to represent, judge and entertain us; where generosity, compassion and honesty is vital, all we get is greed, selfishness and lies. It’s reassuring that so many love this channel and that it’s growing all the time; as well as testament to the incredible quality & Grande work ethic it maybe also shows that regular folks are, for the main part, good, if they’re drawn to a man who is carved out of integrity, intelligence and compassion.😭🖖
Dear Dr Todd, good analysis. Apart from the fact that use of illegal substances is harmful, as you mentioned, the use of so called legal intoxicats, like alcohol, is also harmful for the person using it and for the community. It has been extensively proved by scientific research and is also prohibited in ALL religions, including in original Christianity. It is causing millions of deaths, misery, crimes, lost healths and careers, broken marriages, welfare, and costing hundreds of billions in health bills and lost productivity.
A sunny Saturday ends with a Dr. Grande video. That's what I call an _happy ending_ or _happy weekend_ - thanks a lot, Dr Bella Grande❣♥️💕
I have another definition of a happy ending.

For the sake of "setting" and those of you not from the "Low Country", Hampton Co is set in the southern swamps and wetlands just southwest of the ACE basin and bordering Georgia to the South. It is rich in Live Oaks and Spanish Moss as well as old rice plantations and gators. The area is known for "Frogmore stew", shrimp and grits and friendly but close knit small towns and communities.
samm you described a bonnet wearing 17th century plantation owners. No such thing as close-knit in this country
I'm thinking you got lost in the self story an unhealthy community has been telling itself for a long time.
@@Hollylivengood Not really, just lived near there for thirty years; it's quit beautiful. Dr. Grande is simply doing what he does best, exposing pathology in the individuals who bring it to fruition in their personal lives and its affect on those around them.
Are there feral pigs in that section? I remember shell hunting not far from Myrtle Beach and being warned about the domesticated pigs that had been deserted on the rice plantations and had turned feral and vicious.
It's one of the most beautiful areas in SC. I've heard that deer hunters carry a pistol as well as a rifle in case a wild boar gets too close to use the rifle.
I heard of this recently, thank you for covering this, Dr. Grande. You make my day! 💜
Great analysis Dr Grande . With some people, power and fame corrupts. I just hope those innocent people who were killed, gets the justice they deserve. Thank you Dr Grande, that was a brilliant topic.
You did it! ♥️ This whole case has our little county on edge!
As a retired attorney, I'm mesmerized by this case that I am watching live. Midway thru it's clear (but maybe not to the jury) that Alex shot and killed his wife and son. His behavior seems to display remorse for killing the son but nothing for the wife. I was hoping you could watch all the livestreams and discuss Alex Murdaugh with us again. It's becoming clear that Alex stole over $5M dollars from his law firm and his clients over at least a ten year period and that he's now been disbarred. People keep saying that Alex was a kind man who made everyone he talked to feel special, no one thought of him as a thief or a murderer. Alex's mother has advanced dementia needing 24 hour care. A Black woman who cares for her from 6pm to 6am daily was a witness in the trial. Alex made the mistake of giving three recorded statements of his whereabouts and conduct at the time of the murder to police. Much of that has now been proven false. Following the murder, Alex brought a garment to his mother's house. He stayed for around 20 minutes, and went back to the crime scene. Alex told the caretaker to say that he had been there 30 to 40 minutes. This would have given Alex an alibi for the shooting. As the caretaker told the truth on the witness stand she was crying tears were running down her face as she spoke. When asked why she broke down, she said she loved Alex, his wife and son, they had been so kind to her and her two children and Alex loved his family. It was clearly hurting her to be truthful and realize that Alex probably did kill the victims but she just couldn't believe it. You should alsoblisten to the tapes of Alex talking to his remaining son from jail. I think Alex knows he killed Paul and his wife, and he probably killed or arranged the killing of his housekeeper who fell down the stairs (and possibly others), but he doesn't really believe that was real, that there were any consequences to those actions. Like Trump and his lost election. It's also believed that Alex's claim of addiction to opioids was a lie, intended to prove him with an excuse but no one in his daily life had ever seen any symptoms of addiction and you can't maintain normalcy and be a heroin or opioid addict for 20 years. This case presents many mysteries. He killed the housekeeper for money, he defrauded her children out of a $2M insurance settlement. And he killed his wife for money because his homes are in her name and, not knowing about his debts to the law firm, his clients and others, she had refused to allow the sales, she wanted to continue to live in their Edesto beachfront house. Another mystery -- no one knows what he did with the millions he stole. Or why he would always answer his cell phone when he received call even if hexwas in the middle of an important meeting or in mid-conversation with a friend. What kind of personality or mental disorder does Alex have? Narcissism doesn't seem to fit because everyone says about Alex that he can read people very, very well, including their emotions. I hope you can catch up on all of this now when it's all on RUclips and discuss Alex Murdaugh with us again!
What the hell…has Trump to do with this counselor?
I’m in complete agreement regarding the addiction. I think it was a red herring to garner sympathy/time (30 days in rehab). The prison phone calls are fascinating. He’s continuing to try to control everything even whilst locked up. Whenever he speaks to friends/family he ends the call with some type of ‘urgent; do it NOW’ request. I bet EVERYONE hates it when his calls appear on their phone screen. I had him down as a ‘Super-Narc’ but only because It seemed like the only ‘label’ that explained his behavior. It’s clear that he did kill his wife & son with the motive being to once again buy time/garner sympathy/release money from life insurance & Maggies estate.
It’s all so utterly tragic but likewise utterly compelling. One can only hope that the jury aren’t swayed by the defences argument because when all is said & done so much of the evidence puts Alex at the crime scene at the crucial time.
I feel very sorry for those on the sidelines who have been genuinely affected by all this carnage and all of it triggered by a families greed & a long history of never having to be accountable…
And yes; it’s going to make one hell of a movie some day if a little implausible!!!!
@@ronaldwalsh6246 lol 😂😂😂😂 omg . He wrote so much shat and that was the only thing you focused on? Trump…..😂😂😂😂😂

I believe he kept his head shaved so his hair could not be tested for drugs. Specifically for lack of drugs. There is no way he had a $50,000 a month oxy addiction. Based on a street value of oxy at $10 to $15 per tablet (local prices) would be about 400 per day. No one can build that kind of tolerance. He would have ODed. So this is a bullshit story. His "woe is me" my addiction made me steal story is just a ploy to garner simpathy. I think his wife was on to his financial irregularities and his sons recklessness was going to bring this to light. How much time did he buy himself? A couple of months? He was forced to resign from the family law firm and the firm had to repay what he stole from their clients to the tune of $3.2 million dollars. They had to change their name from PMPED to Parker Law. The whole family is shady, including his older son Buster who was expelled from law school for cheating.

Your cat is beautiful! 💕
@@AimeeAimee444 Yes, it is. But, way to judgemental! 🤣
Brb gotta call my tertiary drug supplier
Thank you, Dr. Grande! I hope you and your family are having a great weekend.
Jeepers Dr. Grande.
Can you please do this one again only go a little slower? Or maybe provide a program. I can't keep up with all the characters in this one. Thanks Doc.🙂
I literally love Dr. Grande. I have the exact same sense of humor. He is soooo dead-pan funny. 😂😂😂
There's somthing to be said for lifes challenges and its humbling affect.
People that only experience material wealth and with few responsibilities can be very shallow.
An environment that fosters me, me, me, all the time, is very detrimental to ones inherant need for growth and expansion. 🙏🌅🌌
I await Erik's comments! They are always pertinent and insightful!🎖🏅🏆
Your upload consistency is so impressive I only need ask myself: "Has Dr. Grande uploaded today?" and there is my notification.
Agree♥️
Right? It's uncanny
My couch analysis is that the son was a serial killer. The dad tried to cover it up. Hired a hitman to take them out to get the insurance. He was too late to pay back the embezzlement. So, decided to fake shoot himself to make it look like a person was after all of them. This is going to make a great documentary.
I reeeeeally like this theory
Serious question. Who do you think the son killed, the housekeeper and the girl during the accident ? Anyone else ? Those two things alone don’t mean a serial killer. Is there anyone else ?
@@angelwings7930 Welp, apparently he was caught up in the case of the gay boy that was ran over and they never found the killer. He was a person of interest because they had some beef. So, at his age and let's say he killed 3, under his belt, he had a lot of time to rack up the body count. But, it looks like the father is the actual serial killer. So, I was wrong.
@@Metonymy1979 I see, thanks.
No insurance on Maggie or Paul
Excellent, as usual.
Luv it when you make me laugh.
Low-key witty zingers thrown in are your trademark.
Also, my local sources tell me that when the housekeeper tripped and fell down the stairs to her death that young Paul Murdaugh was the only other person in the home at the time.
I've not seen this reported in the media, perhaps intentionally.
Your videos gave me something to look forward to each day I was sick this week, Dr. Grande. I’m ever so grateful for all the work and care you put into the content you present everyday. ❤️ I think this case is, by design, a mysterious one. 🤨 There are so many inside jobs and cover-ups with these families, it’s likely we will never know. I think the son was no good to his core and the family and others paid for the creation of that monster.
Hope you are feeling better.
@@threetreasures7698 Thank you! I think I am finally on the mend.
I agree. Now that Murdaugh has been disbarred, maybe some of these other cases might be looked into again.
I hope you're feeling better. ❤💜💙💚🧡🤎
@@JustDr.S Absolutely! And thank you! 💜
This case has more twists and turns than a roller coaster
Dear brother Todd, please make an analysis about the crazy Robert Durst.
He already has but there is a new conviction just Friday!
@@bthomson thanks, brother Bruce.
Easily my new favorite RUclipsr always asking and answering the questions I wonder 🙏❤️🔥
10:21 that was just perfect
'As having an intact head is important for staying alive.' Dead pan :)
There’s so much more to this story. The Murdaugh Murders Podcast is very enlightening on the history as well as all of the alleged crimes.
This entire family was a mess. Such a tangled web of entitlement and abuse of power. From everything I have read, both parents allowed their sons to do anything, with no consequences. I see so many scenarios that could have lead to these murders. Thank you for your insight.
My son works at a store that sells electronics. This 14 year old kid came in the store and attempted to steal some merchandise that was secured by wire. The kid hurt his hands so badly in this pursuit that the store had to call an ambulance because of his injuries. His father wanted the store to press charges. Although I was glad that the kid was ok, I said to my son. "at least he comes from a good family"! Natural consequence, life lessons learned.
Paul didn't use a fake ID to purchase alcohol. He used his big brother's, Buster
Good morning Dr.Grande.
Thank you for the Saturday blessing.
We all appreciate your work.
Excellent commentary. Love your delivery
Yes...please analyze this crazy case! We need you to sort it out!! Always good to switch over to your channel when so many questions arise in complicated events. 👍🤔
