No way he didn’t switch to fent?? He was gettin fleeced by the dealers lmaooo
Bro...2000mg...that is absolutely insanity
It's actually impossible.
@@patticakesintexas no it’s not, that’s 500 mg 4 times a day. Which is not insane if you know anyone who uses oxy.
Agreed I don’t see how he functioned
Guy is guilty, but the questioner is daft for thinking the exact number of pills is more important than total milligrams. Annoying.
Yea but to a jury they are more impacted by the number of pills than number of milligrams
I kind of liked the math problem the he asked "if you took 30mg tablets how many did you take when you took 2,000mg a day?"
@@climbinggreenlizard the answer is 67/day.
He has all those information about the drugs, but almost nothing about the interactions with his family.
For real!💯
As a lawyer you defently know a lot of their clients dosage. They could recite it in their sleep....😂😂😂 at least this special dude knows. His family was and probably still is surrounded by smugglers, corrupt cops maybe as well, too since decades. Common let's get serious. There is something covered up.
He is so good at paying the sorry lying little boy
For that girl dying in that boat crash and him killing his own son and wife I hope he gets life in prison
I don’t believe he squandered millions on pills. How was his body not affected. His heart and GI status. Something doesn’t add up.
Exactly. 20 some years he claims he was on them. Why was he so fat? And lazy? He always went to the office late.
Yeah, I was prescribed hydrocodone for shoulder pain and 2 a day gave me constipation which was worse that the shoulder pain.
When someone has as much money as he did, and the connections they would have because of that money, that person wouldn't survive twenty years and not have serious health problems. If fact, they probably wouldn't even be alive. He talks of being addicted to a particular drug, but then he describes the effects of long term use of another a completely different drug. That's because his story is based on what he's only heard or read about, not his own personal life experiences. He's a LYING, THIEVING, MURDERING, sack of CRAP, but he's no drug addict!
That money is sheltered in an account overseas.
I'm with you, something is up with this. He such a lier, I'm thinking he thinks it will help with his defense.
2000mg/day ÷ 30 mg tabs = 67 pills per day. That would pickle his liver. No way he could do that for months. He would die of overdose. He has the behavior of a true addict in that he LOVES talking about his drug use.
I am not so sure...20 bags of heroin a day is a sustainable habit after years of use and the built in tolerance that comes with it...oxycodone in pure form without the Tylenol additive is nothing more than a semi equivalent opiate, and opiates themselves are not inherently damaging to the liver, depending on the individual...there are freaks of nature out there and I am a living testimony to this fact. I am surely not special in this regard...i maintained this habit for 20 years, my habit took me further than the example I gave u dose wise at times, and am lucky to be alive. I have been sober now for 12... I have NO idea how I am here and the family I now cherish would not exist if I hadn't made it. It is amazing to think about...and scary. What is also scary, is the fact that ok sure, so the addiction is feasible...THIS guy is just a psychopath who maintained the same level of selfish addictive behavior. I truly believe he is wired differently, for in all my years that the roller coaster to hell allowed me to ride, not once did I entertain the evil that this man managed to not only process in his mind, but carry out in his lifetime. It is truly remarkable in a sick way, stuff I've only heard about in movies or perhaps a season of some insane TV drama.
Yes and his dry ass mouth with the clicking and clacking tongue! GEEEZ
There's oxycodone without Tylenol so there's no damage on the liver
He said oxycodone ir which means instant release, know your shit before commenting
I'm not advocating for him! He's a piece of shit in my book but I was just stating the facts
The only thing I have to say about his pill consumption is bull__t
Hes excited talking about them
Blue 30s sounds like fentanyl
Roxys
This the only thing he ever told the truth about sadly. A human can take as much as the body will tolerate when there's no acetimetaphane in it.
Literally
i think he’s exaggerating to make people feel bad for him or to somehow try to justify his actions. he was definitely an addict but i don’t believe it was to this extent
No way he was taking opioids and not sleeping all the time. Everyone I've known who has abused them do nothing but sleep! And if he took them for years there would have been some health problems along the way. I call bullshit on the pill usage story.
Ha ha!
"Murdaugh was da case dat dey gave me!"
He got Murdaugh on his mind. Sign him with Murdaugh, Inc. Its Murdaugh in da 1st degree. LOL
Your drug use destroyed your family.
You picked it over your family.
Under no circumstances was it fair to Paul and Buster to have to deal with an addict parent and everything that comes with that!
You were supposed to be the parent to them.
You staying clean was the only way these two boys could have had a childhood focusing on themselves instead of finding dads pills taped to the underside of the matress.
Devastating.
Like finding your suicided parent.
I appologize to Paul and Buster..you deserved better..as I did.
I pray for you.
You too Alex. You need it!
Drug addicts don’t care about themselves or others. The only thing that has value to them it’s the thing they are addicted to.
Facts
I wholeheartedly disagree. The shame they feel is because they love so much. In a blackout, when you later find out you hurt someone you love, you use more. It is a vicious cycle.
@@Nicole-bj4dv like killing your wife and child, and all those documented things he’s done years prior?
Where was he getting the blues(perk30s)? He bought a ton Man I was.hooked.on those been clean 3 yrsi.I started popping them then snorting then smoking them wonder if he tried another way but, the oxy 30mg went from $17 for 1 then no to $40 for 1 and was takin 9 a day 270mg this dude was an animal.but they do give u energy and made me like work more and just any activity fun he is right that's the hard part then u don't habe one one day and its a wrap
Alex gives people that take opiates for legitimate pain a bad name, Dr's are not prescribing like they used to, he had to be getting them from a drug dealer or dark internet.
💯💯💯
He definitely had multiple outlets and used them all. He definitely had a doctor/pharmacy plug though to be getting 100+ real 30s a day
@448phillip there's no way he had a Dr prescribing them with the war on opiates and the DEA raiding doctor's office. I know because i get pain meds, and they have been cut down from the CDC guidelines .I think he was getting them on the Dark underground internet.
If he just don’t say a milligram.
Bullshit 1000mg he is dead
Naw. All the junkies on youtube claim the sky is the limit. According to them it's impossible to overdose if you have a tolerance. 2000mg is no problem
You can see him counting and figuring out how many pills per day he could claim. Way to many. Never ever 😂😂😂😂
just the defense attempting to distract from the case
Tolerance really can build up to 1000-2000 mg a day. It’s documented in many cases of long term chronic use and oxycodone itself doesn’t harm the liver. Percocet does because it is combined with acetaminophen or Tylenol which is very hepatoxic
I don't believe him. No human can take that much and survive. He has squirreled or squandered the money away.
He wants people to feel sorry him, but what about his housekeeper son's.
Exactly.
Right on.
Feel me in please?
Man every addict does says and explains the same thing with opiates I always had mine on me all the time like i have so much in common with him but we are on the opposite side of i guess life i mean he makes over 120k i make 40k on a good yr but, its Called restless legs bro 3yrs clean and weened off suboxone myself when my dr tried to make me take 2 a day i was dow. To 1mg then finalky nothing but,Its tough sleeping thru the night when ur addicted to those man I would wake up at 4am normally then started my search if I was out I'd be throwing up all day every 2 seconds
he mentions the coke like high, but unless i missed it,he doesnt mention the rage that comes with it. trust me, that rage is very real. at the level he was at i think you could be very very violent
Rage for some people, my mom gets the rage on pain meds. Extreme apathy for others, where bad stuff happens and you can't care. I got apathetic on them.
hope things workout for you an yours, its a bad trip for all
I take pain meds for severe pain and I never have any thoughts of rage, that's total nonsense.
@@spookyskelly5276 same
So true
Rich people fall harder than poor people. Larger amounts. Bigger withdrawal. And lose wives, houses, and money. They tend do much more drastic things. I know he is guilty. But opiates definitely had a major roll in this. They also get to know people of real dirty backgrounds
Yeah for sure. I had a minor opioid addiction for a while but it didn't get crazy because I was broke and wasn't willing to steal to get it lol
He didn't any of what he had. Easy come easy go. He's trash
@Spooky Skelly Yeah, he went under a business to get into the basement of another building and into the ceiling and jumped through it to the office and stole the safe, and went to prison for $1600 and dropped my cell phone. 😳 Oxicontin 80s 2-4 a day. Ridiculous
Well said
@@spookyskelly5276 rather than take drugs for 20 years, why not go to rehab?
Damn i just watched the documentary on Netflix yesturday
1000-2000mg of oxycodone this guy is lucky to be alive
I have taken 30mg Oxycontin for severe pain and there's no way a person could take 2000mg a day. I think he's lying. You would be so constipated you would have to go to the emergency room.
67 pills per day would overdose him. He's lying. Dang, even Tylenol at 4000 mg/day can kill you!
I believe absolutely nothing he says
He doesn't want to say June the 7th.
Dudes last name is Murdauh lol
Bro your taking 60 blues a day your in withdrawal
I wonder what his state of mind was even like on that many pills
He's not making any sense. Good God that's enough to kill a horse from the pain pills.
Right! An elephant
How cares about this .
Did he ever say how he got addicted to drugs … did he have an injury or surgery that caused it?
Yes, an old football injury during college.
Jumpy legs 😂😂
Most days
many day
a lot of days
Almost everyday
sounds like Trump?
yet no withdrawals after getting caught? he would’ve had to go cold turkey unless he got it smuggled in. I have a patient who takes 5mg a day of oxycodone and whenever she misses a dose, she will show signs of every withdrawal symptom.
“Boom. I’d see a police car and I’d get paranoid.”…. Blah blah. Those drugs he claims to have taken give you confidence and clarity. That’s why I love those pills when I can get them.
Some people become paranoid when they’re on drugs.
I agree.. his description of his behavior under the pills line up with your description as well.
He most likely has ADHD; as this reaction is common in those with ADHD since downers slow the individuals already sped up reaction time - allowing the individual to think clearly.
People with ADHD often experience a higher reaction time and speed of brain usage.
Sure he did,he is not innocent.
Bro..... wtf is this man.
Did he ever overdose?
Yeah , u would think with as many as he claims
I doubt he was using…
I still, don't care
This guy’s soul gave him so many chances in life. I feel for his soul. He must receive justice and maybe the next lifetime, he can redeem himself with a good life. Maybe.
PS I’m in medicine, including addiction. It’s not withdrawal. What happens is the body wants to throw out the toxins, including any toxin like MJ which stays in the system for 30 days). When you detoxify (including ETOH) the toxins cause the horrific discomfort for many. Addiction is different than detox. Taking the poison again, whatever it may be, (and it’s all poison), including pharmaceuticals, stop the body from throwing off the poisons as now it has to deal with keeping the body as good as it can during the reintroduction of poison. Addiction is what results due to 1. the brain/body lacking what it has become dependent upon when there is a delay in using, 2. The thought process that occurs in the person simultaneously. Paranoia and irrational thinking is part of it but not all of it. Full detox from poison and physical dependency can be done with proper assistance but unfortunately very few experts do it properly (just enough to get the person through it without death in most cases). But the thought process of the person requires constant, vigilant honest interaction on the part of the addicted individual with many forms of intervention and effective therapeutic modalities, contoured to that person. Detox is within weeks or months, addiction requires a lifetime of commitment.
Don’t feed into his lies, he’s an attorney. It was his job to know how to work a jury when the cards are down.
@@schulzg which lies is that, he is a constant liar. Him and his soul are not one. Can you not make distinctions?
@@ToddDouglasFox I forgot about the HIPPA laws around the soul. 🙄
Keep your religion and don’t force it by trying to back it up with what you learned in nursing school.
@@schulzg you just cannot read OR think. Justice supersedes HIPPA. He must get justice, as I said. Because you cannot read and you’re just looking to spit out anything you think makes sense. I’m done commenting back to you. 👋
lol see how he’s making this up and talking all slow he’s trying not to say something stupid because he’s lying . He’s not an addict.
Right with his God awful lip smacking!!! UGHHHH
Bro is lying
So Sad How Fall Addiction 😢God Have Mercy on this Man 😢
He's a murderer.
For killing his wife and child, and covering up several deaths to preserve his lineage and lifestyle? Right right.
I do not believe Alec killed Maggie and paul
I've gone over this case many times and part of me has the same feeling. They did so many people dirty that part of me thinks this was a setup.
😂 your sick that’s true 😮
Hunter is an addict too😢
Why doesn’t he show any withdrawal symptoms- if he used so many pills???? Surely in prison these tablets are not available 🤔🤔🤔
He's probably prescribed buprenorphine now. Basically he's still addicted
He went thru rehab I believe and I think he's probably medicated here.
He’s on suboxone or methadone or something along those lines.
The prosecutor seems to be in cahoots with Murdaugh. That’s the only way i can explain his incompetence🤦🏾
He is lieing
Looks like he's sitting to me.
Seems like a good guy that made a lot of bad choices . Now he can’t really straighten out his story ! Such a waste of a family unit .🙏
This man and his family terrorized an entire community. He is a bully. He is not a victim to his addiction. His addiction is an extension of his gluttony and selfishness.
@@animaanimus8011 yeah never thought of it that way ,you probably are right 👍
good guy...be serious ...he stole from people and worse
This "man" has been doing horrible things for years. Stealing millions from his job, neglecting his children, and trying to cover up multiple murders. Simply calling it "bad choices" is an understatement.
Seems like a good guy that killed his wife and child.
This dude is definitely a Democrat. At least he lies like one.
You sound like a white woman.
He lies like a rug!!!!
