It’s hard to believe that in a house full of lawyers he thought cleaning up Paul’s remains himself was a good idea.
That's a real reaction. You see how he looked at Alex?
I can see that in my Hispancic family. Most women are just constantly cleaning inside and men outside without thinking like they just do it…and something like that might make someone just go clean and cry and cry while their brain is still processing it
These people are a family of liars and crooks
Nah, this guy was telling the truth. You can see the difference, clear as f'in day.
He doesn't remember anything unless it to help alex
The fact someone was allowed to clean a crime scene merely one day after a double homicide is astounding (and w/no suspect/s in custody). I, as a surviving family member AND a lawyer, would've furiously protested at just the thought.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Unbelievable.
Also, why wasn’t the house itself sealed? The drains all should have been tested for blood. The way this was handled is a master class in what NOT to do.
He should be fined for frolicking thru the crime scene.
But it was a family member the brother/uncle who started to clean it. That property should have be sealed of the whole parameter of it. No one in or out except law enforcement, coroner etc.
I think I could’ve done a better job of securing the crime scene and I’m not a LEO. I cant believe the negligence.
He’s part of the clean up crew in more ways than one. These brothers know how to make big problems go away.
Yep, I fully agree. Those brothers are in on the secret as well.
@@dianahudgins674 entire family 👪 depend on it..
Yep, this is the brother that was photographed taking guns out of the house. A rifle, like the one that was used
@@dianahudgins674 💯‼️
@@deborahstone9696 yes! All of them are corrupt
I’ve never heard of allowing a family member to clean up a crime scene 10-14 hours after murders have occurred. On scene forensics were not even completed. It is crystal clear, the Murdaugh’s had law enforcement in their back pockets. Even loaning the Sheriff money for years. Any law enforcement, who had ties to the Murdaugh’s should have been recused from any type of investigation or handling a crime scene.
Additionally, I hope the prosecutors office will do a full investigation into all law enforcement involved.
Agree!
When prosecution was drilling him about having his grandfathers badge in his truck. Imo they made the law look worse than Alex. They should do their job regardless.
A family member shouldn't want to clean up a crime scene mere hours after your loved ones have been murdered. Wouldn't you want to preserve any evidence that might be there... this dude was using BLEACH TO CLEAN THE SCENE.
Clear corruption 🇺🇸
I agree and if this is so, the jury is at risk.
This entire family seriously needs to be investigated. I can't imagine the amount of crimes that they've managed to cover up over the years. Also the ways they were able to manipulate crime scenes they should not have had access to to begin with. The boating incident is another example of that happening.
That's why he felt comfortable in committing another crime.
The boating accident was absolutely tragic!
The boating accident is why he killed Paul i think. That accident is what started uncovered all his illegal activities
@@freddylong156 I think he killed the wife for killing the nanny who I believe he had an affair with. It brought to much attention to the family.its quite odd all of a sudden he takes an issurance policy out on the nanny a year before she pass and a year before she passed the wife mention to her sister about an affair
@@aliciamayo1977 I think he had an affair with the housekeeper for sure before Paul was born, I think she was the mother of Paul because she showed up as a housekeeper when he was an infant, they said his mom didn’t bond with him and visa versa, he and the housekeeper had a strong bond that is why I think Paul was not the full blooded brother of Buster
these people can't answer a question without it being a novel.
YES. Over talking like an attorney!
They are lawyers that’s why
Because they are lying ! And trying to charm the jury and act like they are just a tight knit, loving, normal southern family … nope ! They ( the defense) are also draggggggggging this out - hoping the jury forgets all of the witnesses from weeks ago.
This whole family is rotten to the core and it's scary to see and hear all the things they do for each other to prevent them to get caught in any crime
There’s a family like theirs down where I’m from. They’ve been getting away with things for years, paying people off and they’ve got all the officials in their back pocket. They covered up my Dad’s
death and I’ll never know the truth.
I'm so sorry, I hope you are able to find peace.
Once again as always, Geminis are truly the evil psychopath like this man Alex Mardugh.
This kinda "beats" NETFLIX. Only in America.
@@run2yah4salvation35wouldn’t you do the same for your own?
You’re not even immediately permitted to clean up a house fire… How in the world, would you, that quickly be allowed to clean up a murder/crime scene? Let alone a family member!!! everything is suspicious
Not only that but if they wanted to find out who did it - since they didn’t do it - an innocent person - who is a lawyer - would WANT to protect that crime scene…..
@@jt9058 exactly
@@jt9058 exactly. THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHO IS THE KILLER BECAUSE THEY ARE THE KILLERS!!!!
One of the other attorneys said when he arrived to the kennels on the 8th a large piece of Paul's skull was left lying on the ground.
I just watched a documentary on fitsnews that will answers most questions what kind of people the Murdaugh and the elite men are.
This is the same man who got the boat out of the water after Paul Murdaugh crashed the boat that killed Mallory Beach, thus tampering with a crime scene. This guy's got form. I'm not saying he's not genuinely upset or traumatized, but he's got form in tampering with crime scenes and helping family members cover up.
Uao! Thank for sharing
Definitely the whole family is rotten
Exactly
Their own Mafia.
And don't 4get he tried to get them to say Connor or someone besides Paul was driving the boat.
He slipped that he cleaned the floor as a "I'm such a lovely uncle to this innocent boy", but what he is actually doing, and very aware of it, is placing the seed of a badly handled murder scene by authorities. However, if AM and family are reknown lawyers, how could they allow such things to happen. I just don't believe it. They knew they needed that scene to get messy, confussing and badly handled. That's why they called so many people to come.
Precisely!
Totally agree
Absolutely right.
Funny that with Mallory Beach, her mother was not allowed to even be near the search perimeter. Her parents never even got a call from LE saying that she was missing. Yet the Murdaugh family was allowed to move the boat in that case, AND allowed to trample all over the Paul and Maggie crime scene. Also telling that AM was all over that hospital trying to do damage control after the boat crash. Yet his son and wife are murdered, and he doesn't seem concerned about finding the perpetrators. Doesn't seem worried that they could still be out there wanting to do harm to his family. Funny that.
@@stefmon68 yeah eight days Ms. Beaches parents were allegedly not allowed on that scene, but Alex and Maggie, who son caused the accident (and was laughing about it afterwards) THEY Were allowed on the scene.
Crying with no tears is common in this family. Jesus man enough is enough 😢
Tbh it was the first time I actually saw a 'tear drop' from AM around the 6 min mark..
These two brothers are the best Hollywood actors I have ever seen.
kinda like the Mendesa brothers when they killed there parents.
Amen to that 🙏🏾
That whole family is crap!
I wonder how many cold-blooded murders have taken place in all those generations of judges and lawyers in that family, that were never brought to light.
Overacting in my opinion. Not convincing at all. They're trying but. They get a B or C rating from me 😁
4:10 “were there skull fragments?” Alex had zero reaction until his brother teared up, then he was like “oh, I need to look emotional too”
Why on earth did he think he had the right to start cleaning up!! Considering this was a crime scene for goodness sake it’s ridiculous
What a sick family. So sad for the victims
At least the victims were also part of the same family.
Criminals all of them!!
@@sarahdeshay1394 Not all of them, there a lot of murders around this family dude.
Actually the mother and son were pathetic disgusting rich maggots too!
@@sarahdeshay1394 what about the housekeeper? What about Mallory Beach? Those are victims not within the same family. Sad all around
Why were all these people allowed to be there trampling over everything?
cause their family owned the police department
Good old boys club
I said the same thing. They are there to cover up their crimes. Birds of a feather 🪶 flock together .
I don't think the prosecution is putting on that good a case either, and the cross is laughable. IMHO. Looks like a fix being in to me.
EXACTLY!
My friend said that if Maggie and Paul had something to do with the death of the housekeeper/babysitter who worked with this family for 20-plus years, they had something bad coming to them.
I don't think anyone deserves to die in such an evil way.
This family gives me chills from my phone screen.
And paul killed a girl 2 yrs prior, paul is trouble, karma came back for him.
@Luke As that is the case, his father killing him was heinous. The law should have decided Paul's fate. Not his father.
Karma.
@@c0f3324 he was drunk...which was awful...but didn't do it intentionally.
@Wiggly Woo yah if that was the case he should have own up to his mistake and apologize to her parents. He could have done something. But he walks for 2 yrs enjoying life til his own father killed him. Good riddance. I wonder which one of the family killed the house keeper.
The police investigation is shoddy at best. Allowing crucial evidence to be tampered with and people milling around the crime scene and in the house is ludicrous.
I totally agree. But why hasn't the defense focused on this? They seem to be focusing on the motive.
and Alex asking Blanca to tidy up the house. The way Maggie would like it.
Cause people would be coming over, bringing food.
That's the last thing that a genuine grieving husband or lawyer would do.
Agreed 💯%. I just can't get over how shoddy this investigation was.
I actually can understand his thinking, remember, SLED left a chunk of his skull behind, I am not impressed whatsoever how the scene was processed or cleaned up🕊
@@JanSPrice Hahahahahah, you haven't seen the police in action much. Almost always shoddy, lazy and incompetent work.
I watched an interview with a forensic/criminal psychiatrist who said many people have committed horrific acts of violence and cried about it. Crying hysterically doesn't mean the criminal didn't commit the act it just means that if they are genuinely crying they feel bad about what they have done.
absolutely. Humans cry from all sorts of emotions. Guilt will also make one cry.
They can cry for many reasons. Not always remorse for the victims. Pity for themselves and being punished, for what others they might care about went through like his brothers going through this. Also just good acting. I notice he goes from bawling to perfectly fine in less than 30 seconds. He litterally just turns it off. He did it here and he did it in the police car. Even broke character when he said what’s up to a passing officer the night of the murders. Just a psychopath!
@@dperry203 Absolutely agree with you dperyy.
K. But what evidence do you have that he's guilty?
I've never seen anyone cry without shedding a tear. The hole snot dripping charade is just a symptom of intentional hysteria. Plus he made sure to drip his snot all over the place instead of using the tissue in his hand to wipe. Clearly a show for the jury. Disingenuous to the core.
Man the way John stares at Alex after saying, "it was the hardest thing I've been through in my life," (6:54) is so telling, John knows Alex did it and that stare said a million words.
WOW! You’re right
WOW
Pain, disgust, and anger
To me it shows weakness a feeble brother who didn't say anything
fake news
Why would a millionaire family clean up a crime scene on their property themselves? That doesn't make any sense
To cover up something for someone as they have done so many times.
It makes a lot of sense. If they clean it the evidence will be destroyed.
That’s brotherly love. Tried to help his brother get away with murder
Well said! Exactly what thought.
The way he looks at Alex saying it was the hardest thing he ever had to do in his life… he held that stare at Alex.. can’t help but consider why…
Alex was thanking him. Sickening.
John Marvin was looking at Jim Griffin at that moment. He’d have to look at the far right of the screen to be looking at Alex.
He's staring at the attorney questioning him. Not Alex
lying arse
He's looking at the attorney who's straight in front of him. That's why the attorney responded to him. He'd have to turn his head or eyes substantially to his left to look over at Alex -- who's on the other side of the court room.
This was the second least credible witness of the trial. He was out-ranked only by Alex himself. Now I feel like we have some idea who helped in the cover up.
Just like the boat case
Exactly. I believe when Alex called him that night before the police arrived his brother hid those guns just like he towed that boat away before the DNR could check it for evidence.
Go to RUclips to see drone camera evidence of brothers taking rifles etc from house to the back of their trucks!!
don't forget about ole' "Buster".... haha smh
This brother has the same false sincerity his big bro has..but they are so good at lying..that they can also seem affable and genuine..
They've been trained their whole lives to be bullshitters.. Lawyers etc.. Maybe the prosecution can't say that tho!
That whole property should have been cordoned off to any family members and their friends. Only the investigators should have been anywhere near there! Why were the family allowed to go into the house that night and the next day?
Because Alex controlled/paid off/threatened the police and investigators!
Because they’re friends.
Deep connections to the police
I'm shocked that Alex's brother was allowed to clean up some of the crime scene.
It helps when you are in a family that's in the lawyer business for over 100 years and having friends at every department of the state and legal parts.
"allowed"
Why would the police allow him to clean up part of the crime scene? His own nephews brain spattered on the ground
He asked law enforcement if he could go to the crime scene and he was told, by an officer, that they were finished processing the scene. The area would’ve been roped off if it was considered active. This the only Murdaugh I’ve believed. His testimony and reaction seemed sincere.
Lawyers always know what to say, I wouldn't believe anything these guys say
All these people have something to hide here. Lets see how these misfits cover their tracks . First step change the name of the law firm.
Fr my ex’s mom was one and they are one of the most corrupt, fake, delusional, story flipping, “it’s my way or the highway” typa people you’ll ever meet.
@@billyyank5807 is this Alex murdaugh’s burner account? 😂
This brother isn’t even a lawyer.
As a lawyer, you sound ridiculous. Lawyers are people who love their family members just like everyone else. We don’t take courses in how to respond when our nephews are killed. Pure ridiculous nonsense.
Clean up evidence…… 😐 not once has anyone of their family begged or pleaded to catch the killer or killers because they know who it is
Exactly.
True ! That didnt even cross my mind. This sounds like the Jonbenet crime scene. Everybody except Christ himself trampled throughout the house.
The police had already done the investigation. In SC the police don't clean a crime scene.
I know. Such a dead give away. I'd be hysterically screaming at police the moment they arrived to find the murderer who did this. Alex is a cold blooded murderer and liar
Such a good point
There is just something fishy about the whole family. I just don't know if I believe a word they say. Alex is a known liar anyway.
First time seen any them cry even buster
I cry at adverts on tv and don't care who see's me
They're ALL liars and manipulators.
Yaaaa think....
they are lawyers from south carolina!
IMO, calling them fishy is an understatement. These folks reek of generational corruption.
It just don’t make ANY sense for ANYONE, to clean up a brutal murder scene of your family members. Especially if you know some psychopath is on the loose who did it. This family is gonna continue to fall
Rich and living in a small town with only sherrifs sounds like a horror movie unfolding
While I do not wish anyone to see what this man did, he now understands the pain Mallory's parents felt.
I wish Alex didn't kill his wife and son but reality is he did.
Have you watched the documentary
I think Alex killed them but I think he’s not going to be found guilty. It’s sad
He still has no idea the pain Mallorys parents felt, they didn’t kill their own daughter. He sees people even ones he claims to love as objects, once their usefulness to them is expired-they can be disposed of.
Motive: He killed his son because his son's actions of the boating murder began to expose the closet of dead bodies, and he killed his wife because she wanted to divorce and leave him. So his ego couldn't handle the truth of he is a disgrace and embarrassment.
The crying is pure manipulation at the highest degree to display that Alex has emotions and wouldn't kill his son.
Legal analysis and Interpretation of the facts.
@@distinctiveelegance5947 There's a lot more to it.
I have more tears in my eyes than Alex, after listening to this testimony
Me too 😂 and I don’t even know them
If that wicked man walks, there'll never be justice in the state of South Carolina ever again.
THIS.
What a disgusting man to have put his brother through that
Why was he allowed to go and clean up things??????
the scene was released. it's completely normal but the defense is trying to make something out of nothing.
Why not? You either do it yourself of hire someone. It wasn't like it was an active crime scene any longer. SLED had collect all the evidence they needed, and clean up is the responsibility of the property owners.
Ditto. I feel for the uncle. Someone had to clean it up. Servepro would have been a good choice. But I understand. God bless him.
@Jwestside Right! They hire housekeepers, caretakers for parents, etc.. BUT clean up blood, guts and brains by themselves.
He phoned his law enforcement friend
This trial is just dragging on. Convict him already and let’s get to the next miscreant.
He goes from pretending to cry to absolutely fine in merely minutes after talking about his sons brains and skill being talked about. If that were my child I’d be crying harder than the uncle if I hadn’t passed out by then.
Exactly ! Genuine compared to fake Alex. You can really see the difference here.
Crying. Screaming. Unable to cope.
If you look at him. He’s truly a flesh devil…
No soul. No morals. No nothin good about that fker
4:15. Watch Alex’s reaction to “skull fragments.” He takes his brother’s queue on when to “cry”.
I wanna feel bad for him honestly ; but, everytime I start to I remember how him and, buster went to Las Vegas to spend money an get rid of things so it would show alex had nothing so he could not pay out to all the lawsuits he had coming 😒 being disgusting runs deep in the murdaughs bloodline I guess.
That's after the fact tho. Gotta get back on that horse.
Very well said point. Also any Murdagh testifying give this family another kick of narcissistic pride - ‘look at us’ and ‘we have a live global audience to perform to’.
They’ve probably got assets nobody knows about.
@@bornfree0507 I would bet money on that and I am not a gambler. 😑
The poor housekeepers kids 4:3 million. Not a dime to them . 25 yrs she worked like a dog. That alone makes him scum. Liars. All of them liars are good at lying. It’s what they do
Being an attorney himself, this man knows better than to clean ANYTHING up! This family “thinks” they are above everyone and everything else… that rules don’t apply to them. SMH
He's not an attorney, but he definitely knows better. Randy is the other lawyer.
Why has not one person in this family be furious-out raged- filled with revenge to catch who did this? If something god forbid happened to my family like this.. I would be afraid.. knowing 2 were dead and someone in my family is going to find who did it and they will end up in prison.
AM at one time had a $100,000 reward advertised for tips leading to the killer(s)
He knows his brother did it. He’s in custody so he’s not going to be scared.
HOW could SLED release a crime scene they hadn't even properly seen by daylight yet???
Exactly and that is a shoddy excuse of an investigation.
@@JudyF-zu4ir Very shoddy
Alex is crying and bobbing his head and then when he looks up each time he glances at the jury.
It's so sad that Alex could sit through this knowing what he did. He's is a true sociopath.
Of course he's a psychopath and a rotten evil person to the core, typical as Geminis are.
No one in their right mind would be going to a crime scene the next morning... let alone think that moving(cleaning) the evidence. Tis a family full of “actors” with full knowledge of the law.
its unthinkable , to have random individuals at the crime scene.
IMO/Allegedly, Watching his body language and blink rate, I would bet he is deep in the deed and scrambled to cover it all up.
He's a lawyer and should know better to not touch a crime scene.
NewsFlash: It was no longer a crime scene.
he is not a lawyer.
It was no longer a crime scene and police don't clean up crime scenes. The owners of the house are responsible for that.
He is not a lawyer--he owns a heavy equipment company.
Who?
His brothers as shady as he is. And he keeps smiling at the jury
Seems the family is used to cleaning up after him.
Drinking every time he says “you know” ☠️☠️☠️
Why was their so many of his people at the crime scene like it was a dang super bowl party or something WTAF!?
Obviously trying to intimidate and confuse police. Alex never wanted this crime solved , if he wasn’t the shooter, he would have told his pals to keep away from the crime scene.
Copycatting the ramseys, lots of people to spoil evidence.
As rich as this family is, they could’ve easily hired a cleaning company that deals with biohazards like bodies. There’s many “crime scene cleaners” out there.
Cleaned it up himself in case SLRpED had missed any damaging evidence so it not be seen
That was my first thought! Normal folk have to clean crime scenes of their loved ones, his lawyer brother couldn't help him out with a couple grand?
Didn’t want anyone else knowing their secrets
The bloody state has people to do that honey . No need for family to hire anyone to clean up the scene .
I would like to share some perspective As a person who lives in the south. I can tell you that many very wealthy southern people still mow their own yards, clean deer, and are likely to not hire out for things that wealthy people in other areas do. You are likely to see men in the nicest gated communities changing their oil in their driveway. I know of families who have helped out by cleaning after the death of a friend or family member. It’s a gesture of deep love and reverence.
Why do I shudder when hearing John Marvin say “ it was the hardest thing he had to do in his life?”
He didn’t need to or feel obligated to cleanup…. That family is so rich they had maids for the house and keepers for the kennels..🙄🙄….
He’s reasoning is coming from a place of guilt… not for the crime itself but for not protecting his extended family from his own brother, he knows his brother is guilty and has a gag order happening.. the guilt comes from knowing all the ugly truth.. in my mind I can hear him screaming “ sorry” while scrubbing his nephews blood off his hands… I felt for him during this testimony for the sick acts of his brother and the entanglement of lies to coverup engulfing him
I do not feel sorry for any of this family.. from what I've heard this family do
This is all so sad. May the deceased rest in peace and those accountable be punished. Only God knows. This family has a horrific history. Too many inconsistencies, and hopefully, justice is served.
Rich family like this and they don't call a crime scene company? You're not supposed to touch bio hazard material like that. Wth?? Never heard such a thing. That needs to be disposed of properly. Jesus.
That's exactly the reason why they did it, simpleton.
I've noticed whenever Alex leans over and pretends to cry, he always looks at the jury after. I hope the jury is picking up on that
I also picked upon that. He is so obvious to me.
I'm sure their watching. I heard in another video that when AM was testifying, some of the jurors were rolling their eyes.
@@dysfnctional1978 I heard that too . Someone in the courtroom said some juror was stuffing tissues in her ears ! Wtf
Can you hear me now? Can you see me crying?
They saw it. Guilty verdict. All counts.
i really pray everyone who has been harmed by this family is given justice. all those involved (law enforcements/etc..) are being investigated and charged to the fullest extent. lives were destroyed/silenced due to their selfishness and greed
The emotion of his brother draws the same feeling from Alex. He still respects his brother and has empathy for how he feels about it. It musta smacked Alex hard to see his brother tearing up. He could feel it in his gut. That deep deep sadness and regret.
I really don't think that monster can feel anything!! He just killed his wife and his son!! And still continues to lie about. I think it's safe to say he's a NUTCASE.
This feels very fake
@@liannegravitis42 ?
@@octaviamoore5194 don't be silly he definitely still feels emotion. Thats what brought him to kill his family in the first place. His feelings. C'mon man. All I was elaborating to was that Alex was moved by his brothers emotion. And that one of the things that works up Alex is seeing his brother torn up about what's happened.
@@ashtonguillory2179 no one cares about him crying at this point, he murdered his family for crying out loud!!! That guy is a monster!!
I don’t know what Alec’s team was trying accomplish with this witness…but I don’t think this helped, nice try though.
It’s not the Police’s responsibility to clean up a crime scene. It’s the responsibility of the family to clean it up. There are companies that specialize in that type of stuff.
Yep. The family were too stingey to hire a company.
Well, it was a murder scene. The police and sled did a terrible job investigating and collecting evidence in this case. They should have collected everything that could be used in evidence. Skull fragments, brain matter and the whole lot.
That's not the point. It was a brother who felt compelled to try and save the feelings of his nephew. Almost everyone knows that the police/firefighters/EMTs are not going to clean up the crime scene.
In Australia it is.
True
I hope that it comes out why J.M., and Buster vehemently practiced, rehearsed and received coaching in preparation to defend Alex. I'm at a loss. This guy practiced so well and he's such a great actor, if you watch this, he answered a few questions before they were asked. He literally ran out in front of the liar, I mean lawyer.
YUP...🤣
Guilty ✔
Thanks 4 testifying for your narcissistic brother, but he's a liar, theif, and scheister HOW CAN UUUUUUU TRUST HIM? Guilty ✔
Great comment!!!
I have a feeling we share the same belief, or lack thereof, for this witness. That said, it’s standard practice to run-through your direct examination questions with your witnesses. In fact every lawyer should if they are worth 2 cents. Direct examinations are rehearsed in every trial - criminal or civil. It’s what makes cross examination so important.
@@jaredwaldhoff8182 A lawyer must be very careful with rehearsing direct examination questions, the lawyer must NOT tell his witness what to say or not to say. It is not good practice to have a SCRIPT of questions to ask.
The verdict is in guilty on all counts. Life in prison. No more stealing , no more cheating , no more lieing , no more drugs , maybe talking to dudes in his cell 😉.
This whole family needs to be under investigation, I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg! I’m sure they covered a lot of crimes for decades!
I'm from Walterboro SC in 2018 my nephew Brandon was murdered it took a week to find him & his cousins bodies I have never felt such pain & I had to tell his father I never cried in public didn't want to be seen as weak it's something you never get over how could someone do this to someone their suppose to love sickens me
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Money and face. It's sad indeed.
I’m sorry for your loss. That’s heartbreaking.
How does this prove Alex didn't do it..?
He did it. Everyone knows this.
What else he can introduce to make it seem like he didn't do it? The man is desperate and it's all he got obviously.
May justice be served.
There is no justice in murder trials. Never ever will be.
I dont think it's normal to clean up a crime scene, soo soon after the terrible murders.
Just more of this family, and his friends, trying to cover up things
I get the distinct feeling, impression, that Alex is acting here.
I honestly believe this man's emotions. I don't know anything about his relationship with his nephew, but I can tell you that I totally understand how he felt the need to do what he did. I would feel exactly the same way if it had been my nephew. I have had similar experiences. When you are in shock and grieving, people do things that seem strange to the rest of us. Don't judge if you have never had this experience. I pray most of you have not, and I pray you never have to experience it. No matter how twisted this family is, Paul and Maggie did not deserve to suffer and die in this manner. And the brother of Alex will NEVER forget what he saw. It will haunt him for the rest of his life. Alex ruined so many lives for years. Now he can rot in prison remembering all that he has done. I hope he has a vivid memory, and sees these images forever. May Maggie and Paul rest in peace. Horrible!!
John Marvin cleaned up the crime scene to help hide the evidence against Alex. Just because he's crying about it, doesn't mean he's not part of the cover up.
wtf?? you're not suppose to tamper with a murder scene. who the fk does that??? that's up to forensics and police. also a normal sane person would be too emotionally scarred and traumatized by the bloody and gory corpses of relatives to even wanna go near or even look at them. brother is lying.
With all these emotions,why is it that not one of these familymembers from both sides have put up a proper headstone for Maggie or Paul? Not much compassion from anyone.
Don’t believe this guy. As somebody else stated, he’s the same one that went and pulled the boat out of the water that he shouldn’t have after Paul killed that girl.
Don't let the drama fool you. The task he performed was gruesome, thus his tears may be genuine but that doesnt mean he is not part of the cover up. In a family of lawyers he knew tampering with a crime scene was going to confuse the case. He knew better.
Oh lawd isthe amount of violence and heartache connected to this case is tragic .
That creepy stare, he never blinks his eyes! Narc for sure 🚨
Oh give me a break. He goes into his big act. Then Alec does his. He even dabs at tears which don't exist. Whole spiel.
His name isn't Murdaugh . It's Murder.
🗣️
MURDDA
When they inevitably make this a movie, Ed Norton should play this guy
I’m so glad the jury was able to see through Alex’s lies and get justice for Maggie and Paul. My heart was sad for Alex’s brother, John Marvin, when he testified. I feel his testimony was from his heart, and true. I just don’t understand why he had to clean the crime scene. I would never imagine that a family member would be left to clean up any of the crime scene. Is that how it normally works? I just can’t imagine how horrific this would be for a family member. Also, I have to say I’m still hoping for justice for Mallory Beach.
Same here!! She never got justice they just covered it up.😒😞
No I don’t think it’s normal but I feel like he was distraught and just did not know what else to do. I feel he wasn’t a lawyer he was an Uncle who wanted to respect the portion of his nephews remains and the only way was to pick them up. I don’t know if it was malicious. If they had the nerve and the guts to see their Brother get disbarred for the stolen money then I don’t think they would cover up the murder of their own family members. I could be way off but he seems like a sensitive person and sometimes when we are shocked, saddened, confused and feeling helpless you do the unthinkable but your just trying to give dignity to what was left of your loved one. I cannot judge this man unless you were in the same situation at that moment. I see this as an act of kindness and love for a nephew not as helping to conspire or help aid his brother for something he may have done. Maybe he left the house because he couldn’t stand to be near his brother. I know if I had any feeling at all that my sibling or in-law harmed my nieces or nephews I wouldn’t be able to take it with people coming over and saying how sorry they were to the one who may have done it. I would want to get away and then I might think by doing this would show my love and adoration for my loved one. I just don’t know. The more I see of the lives ruined and the tragedy caused it’s heartbreaking for everyone including the victims. That is just sad beyond words.
I've watched a couple crime scene cleaning videos nd if the family doesn't pay for a company to come clean up the scene the family is left to do it by theirselves even something horrific as this... NOT THE DAY AFTER, maybe a couple days after.
She and Paul are in a better place now
If someone killed your son and u werent the killer, would u keep crime scene intact to find the killers or clean it up? What does a normal grieving parent do to help solve a crime.
That’s not the parent
First reaction my 14 yr old girl cousin had when her 12 yr old brother blew his brains out in the middle of the night, was to get a pail of soap and water to start cleaning up, for sake of parents.
Oh my God! That's so sad! I feel so bad the Poor kid felt he had to do that so young! And Poor girl for going through that. Sending my love to the family
I'm sorry
Who would want to clean up the place where their family members were murdered!?🙄 This is not normal!
IK dont care what or who anyone thinks did this... but THIS is just heartbreaking. JM and Paul were extremely close. Im just in tears for this man.
I thought the same thing. Maybe I’m being gullible, but it seemed like this family had some family and friends that deeply loved them. This brother seemed like a really genuine and gentle person in a state of pure despair.
That dirt bag of a brother of yours killed his wife and son, look what your heart is going through.. my heart goes out to you.. God Bless.
Everyone in that family seems to "clean up" after Alex. I can't fathom how they even pretend he's not guilty. I do agree with what Alex told Maggie's sister, someone really thought about this.
Dr. Kinsey addressed the clean up issue today in his testimony. I said somewhere down thread that I thought it was bizarre that a family member cleaned up the crime scene. Some didn't agree and said they would do the same thing given the same situation. Some said family members have to pay for a professional service to clean it up. Dr. Kinsey said he believed there is money for this in every jurisdiction, so John didn't have to do this. I still think it's beyond weird.
Dr. Kinsey said that he "believed" jurisdictions had money to pay for crime scene cleanup not that it was absolutely true.
Crime scene cleanup is paid by the family members or homeowners insurance if it covers it. Otherwise,
HE TOOK A SHOWER! ALEX LEFT THAT OUT TOO.
Even a two year old child knew that his brother try to lie n cover up , another great evil actor! Evil brothers
Maybe the brother participated in the murders with AM
He’s charming but is up to his knees in this. Cleaned up the evidence!!!
Thank You
He has to realize his brother did it. This is not believable.
Just like his brother with the over answering
They are trying to wear out and confuse the jury.
If I found my husband and child, shot to death, I would not call all my siblings, people I work with, my husbands brothers…it would just be me and emergency services. Id welcome everyone to come to the hospital and obviously everyone would be invited to the funerals. There would be many people but NOT at my home .
Am I missing something here? It’s so weird to me that everyone congregated to the home that night.
Trying to cover it up.
Maybe it's a Southern thing.
U didn't miss a thing.
@@deethegardengirl I'm from the south. I can't speak for these people but I do know when people try and make a good lie.
I see this behavior as normal. That being said I am in my 60's and grew up in the low-country. We always went to the persons house and stayed there to support and help in any way we could.
I’d be embarrassed to admit I “Helped” my brother clean up a crime scene . I know he means well & probably wasn’t thinking when everything was happening but you should Never Disturb A Crime Scene !
I see that Alex's brother was also told to turn his chair to partially face the jury.
I can’t understand how these people who supposedly loved Paul , keep talking about his brain being splattered all over the place.
Bc they are testifying
@@GodBlessedThisBod thanks for reply but I don’t agree, no need to be so graphic, it’s like they want to make the jury feel sorry for them. Instead they sound cold hearted and distant from their so called loved one.
@@7jarrow I understand what you mean.
How else are they supposed to describe it?
I think Pauls son Buster testified they arrived in the Night (~2:00 a.m.). Paul testified had a shower in the late afternoon after he returned from work (~ 6pm). When even his brother thinks "he had a shower", when he saw him at least 6-8 hours after the shower (and it seemed to be hot that evening), the LAST SHOWER ALEX took was AFTER the MURDERs at around 9 pm !! Even SLED confirmed the T Shirt in the sealed bag smelled like laundry detergent. So he must have changed his clothes also. And Alex was known to sweat a lot due to his overweight and opoid addiction.
Paul was the son who was murdered. Buster is Alex and Maggie's oldest son.
One shower wasn’t good enough. I think he had a few.
And remember all those steps when rushed home all hot and sweaty? He laid down napped woke and went to mommies house. He had his iPhone watch on in the shower? I don’t stand still in the shower or drying off
He disposed of all his bloody clothing. So much evidence was destroyed & compromised by questionable, deliberate actions. Whenever a square peg doesnt fit a round hole, they seem to force it to fit their narrative? The weapons involved could still be waiting to be found. Unless maybe his brother took care of that tasking too?
@@patevans3709 of course...i meant to write "Alexs son Buster", thank you
He was in shock. He is truly sad, distressed, angry and resentful :(
Alex’s brother was wandering around the crime scene picking up brain parts the day after the murders - what a town!!
Professional liars
A.M. should have provided for a hazardous waste team to clean that up instead of putting his brother through that but consideration for others is not his forte to say the least.
A professional hazard waste team would turn over any evidence they happened to find to the police so the brother was a better choice.
This is totally unbelievable! He should not have been cleaning that up at all and he knows it! They were all trying to protect AM. That house should have been taped off and not 1 person should have been allowed in it or anywhere on the property. Everyone in that house should be arrested and charged with accessories to murder. Every one of them in that house was guilty!!! I sure hope we see more charges being filed, Especially with this brother, his other brothers, his partners and Buster! South Carolina do not let them get away with this!!!
SC is fine letting the others off. After all, the state is still run like the CIVIL war never happened - bunch of backwards thinking bigots still run the state.
Thank you!!!
We don’t know. I’m most certain they’re involved but we can’t be pointing fingers yet. Time may tell it might not. Every time he looked at Alex then looked down you could see a glance of anger. Either for getting him involved in it before hand or of disgust of what he did. But something definitely stinks here.
The truth always comes out!
Sure hope so
John is a hero...cleaning up his brothers mess, eliminating evidence, residues.. cleaning uo his nephews brain and finding the phone of his sister in law with help of Buster who already coud have told this when he took the stand . bad theatre bad actors
But he says the crime scene had been cleared already. The investigation was over and done with. They were allowed to go over and clean up…
@@sien5061Exactly. Unfortunately, it’s always the burden of the next of kin to clean up the gory murder scene of their loved ones themselves once the police give them the all-clear, or else pay professional crime scene cleaners to do it for them. This is not unusual in the USA.
@@sien5061 nevertheless he used the opportunity to clean up what could have been of interest some time later
The brother was also allowed to remove the boat from the scene of the accident. They all have with close ties to LE. If anyone other than a family member had killed Paul and Maggie, they would've had that placed locked down like Fort Knox. They didn't because they knew AM had something to do with it. Just like they knew Paul was driving that night. They went into action to protect their own.
I hate that this happened. I know it’s salacious and everyone wants to express their anger but the amount of pain and trauma that all of the closely related people must be going through 😭 so sad
