Can someone please give that man some damn water ! My misophonia cannot deal with those sounds coming from his mouth the ENTIRE time !!!!
Same, I have the autocaptions on and the volume turned down SO low. I thought about just reading the transcript but I wanted to see how he said things, not just what he said.
That’s a habit of drug addicts
I thought he was chomping on something!
Ughhh. Yesss. I think he does it on purpose thinking it’s coming off as him struggling emotionally
I thought he was chewing on something. So annoying.
Who else could have killed Maggie and Paul between 8:50 pm and 9:00 pm at the kennel location while Alex was supposedly napping on his couch in the house, without him hearing 7 rifle and shotgun shots?????????? His story is UTTERLY preposterous. WHY ARE THE FAMILY'S TWO SUSPECT GUNS MISSING? WHY are his shirt and shoes missing? That has never been explained. Am I the only one who keeps watching this learning something new each time I watch?? I'm somehow hooked on this, fascinated and APPALLED by THIS true life crime.
His lip smacking is insufferable 😭
Like Barty Crouch....
This is eventually going to make one hell of a movie. So much material
Want a movie about everything why don't we make a movie about yourself too?
Mini series, please!!!!!!
@@kwnwrestler16 😂 dude, you have horrible grammar.
Why watch a movie when you got the trial?
@@kwnwrestler16should make a movie about your boring life. None will watch. A Murdaugh movie would KILL!
4:20:04 Lawyer deliberately called the injured person a paraplegic and Alex took the bait correcting him by stating he was actually a quadriplegic. Just shows how evil he was stealing from someone like that.
No, I don't think it was a set-up by the prosecutor. It was an honest mistake, but bc Alex is trying to come across as being an "honest" man, he corrected him! In the end it held no water with the Jury....
You are right and was not the only time. Waters out lawyers AM.
@carolyn yanik
Alex didn't need to correct the prosecutor in order for the nastiness of his schemes to be apparent.
It's more likely to be a simple mistake but none of us have any way of knowing, especially with confidence.
I agree here. The prosecutor knows this case thoroughly and knows in fact the person was a quadriplegic. Smoooth move!👍
Lawyer lying...
God the things this guy can blame on opiate drug addiction just defies belief. Millions of dollars stolen because he took pills?? Gimme a break.
He stole almost nine million. That takes some real entitlement.
I know it's crazy
I don’t believe he took as many pills as he said he did. Maybe 460 milligrams a day. I doubt anyone has a tolerance of 460 pills and not die. Just the amount of Tylenol in that many perks alone would destroy a liver quickly.
@@vickyderringer3210 I agree that he's exaggerating but he never said Percocet. He was addicted to Oxy
Did anybody in the Murdough family call Paul by his given name?
This is a cold hearted dude. You can’t make me believe that Alex was the only lawyer stealing.Alex learned this from his family.The federal government is should look into all the cases that firm ever had.
Also the police department who cover up all Murdock's wrong doing.
I know this sounds odd, given the circumstances, but listening to Murdaugh testify I can see how people were charmed by him and trusted him.
He seems very likeable to me...
I agree.
It’s the southern gentleman accent.
Every time the lawyer asks if he shot his family members he replies “no I did not” while frantically nodding his head yes.
Yup. Just saw that. He's a liar
This was the biggest L in legal history, how the hell are you a lawyer and you get up there with your pawpaw and mags and all that mess? He would have been so much better off had he not testified. I laughed my ass off when I saw this because I knew after he said he was there that his ass was fried.
Dude it was suicide for him to get up there.
The outrage that should be displayed from a man whose wife and son were murdered just isnt there. Actions tell it all.
What scares me is that he doesn't look like a murderer😢😮 This evil murder his own son and wife. How own son😢EVIL
It’s so obvious too that he has NO CURIOSITY about who killed them 😂 it’s almost like he already knows who did it… *cough*
@@rnarzu he certainly sounds like a person one would naturally lean towards and admire. Seems to have an ‘awe shucks’ mannerism that just makes him likeable.
But he found his charm could deceive and fill his desire to line his pockets that he would do ANYTHING to protect that image.
Paul became a thorn in his foot and with charges against Paul coming to a head within days, he had to go…Nothing would get in his way. So sad.
Fear and having a criminal past won’t matter if u lie or not they won’t believe u
there wouldnt be a calm moment if i was being chrged with my families murder and i was innocent
Key words.... from his ENTIRE testimony..... "I would never INTENTIONALLY hurt my wife Maggie or my son, Paul Paul." He did himself ZERO favors by taking the stand.
Not that I’m defending him but, that’s the best we ALL can say about anyone that we love. We most definitely can hurt them physically and emotionally UNINTENTIONALLY, but to hurt them intentionally is where evil lurks. So he did chose that word correctly.
I would have to disagree.. he killed them... so CLEARLY he WOULD 'intentionally' hurt them. @@sanjuan651
His defense team couldn't talk him out of testifying. He believed he could convince the jury if his innocence.
Delusional monster.
It's nice coming back and watching this knowing he's been found guilty
❤
@@susangphotos Yeah like a terrible version of a Columbo episode, he's guilty, we know he did it - so lets get to the mechanics of it
Right? 😂 I am doing it also. He's talking different as the trial goes on. Instead of 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗵𝗲'𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗔𝗧
I think so too. One intimate moment between his mom & dad and we end up with this creature.
@@Deborah4Antiques Lol never thought about it like that, but hey that could be said about every creature on earth.
Paul took that video and I'm so glad he did. Puts his dad right there.
Little detective 💔
How ironic was that? He did the video and didn’t have a clue about what was going to happen….
No reason to lie when it comes to your wife and son murder I would be honest about everything to catch the killers..HE DID IT 💯
I watched this again. It is absolutely amazing to me that this case was solved by the victim. The person who spent the weekend with him was intuitive enough to document everything. What he wore, where he was, the exact time he died. The guns he used. The shot gun with buck shot and duck shot . He documented they went to duck pond. The blackout and the casings. Just in real. Heart breaking
What’s amazing is that even Alex referred to Paul as very intuitive and that was before he realized Paul had posted these videos of him the day he died
Him saying paw paw is killing me
Because you hear the deception in it. You pick up the evil in it.
Yes, he’s using their nicknames on purpose to seem like he *loved* them
I think an audit of payouts vs what clients actually received across the entire US would net an astronomical amount of attorneys guilty of these same exact crimes. I believe this to be a industry standard and an unwritten taught scam of the lawyer community.
I agree 💯
...And far too many of these scumbags are running the federal (and local) government.
So many people just do not understand that you do not need to be an attorney to be voted into offices.
This is likely true .I bet many lawyers take a bigger cut if they can get more , And every single person in this world tells lies but he lied about stealing , not everyone is a thief. And he has guilty written all over him for murder . That sets him apart from most humans. No empathy present to kill son and wife with no remorse
That,'s scary, so some of them must be murderers too
Definitely is
I just can’t believe he thought the bobbing of his head and smacking before talking would fool these jurors. He’s a lawyer and I guess he thought the jurors were gullible
No they see he is an addict and has a criminal history himself
Plus the occasional eye contact
Opiods cause dry mouth. I don't think he is clean.
It’s so clear in watching this how tactical it was for him to call Paul “Paw Paw”. He starts the first two times calling him Paul and immediately corrects himself to Paw Paw, like oh yeah I’m supposed to be calling him the nickname for my theatrical story!
Exactly!! And he was working my last nerve with that too.. we all know you killed paw paw and his mother .. you money hungry murder
Bingo. I caught on to that load of crap as well. Like calling him Paw Paw would make him look like a grieving killer.
All this slobbering bullshidder wished was that “PauPau” never had a boat party.
It was so ridiculous the whole “paw paw” bit. He would drop it and pick it back up when he forgot.
Paw Paw 😭😭
He had it all. A wife, sons and money, and that wasn't enough for him. He is beyond sickening and evil. And now he has NOTHING!!!
Not once have I seen anyone ask where he got the pills as I am not sure he even had an opiate addiction.
This man is BEYOND a narcassist. He's absolutely diabolical.
Why is "narcissist" the current go-to RUclips commenter insult?
@King Ayy I agree. I rarely use it, but when it fits...
@@kingayy9267 It seems you are right. I’m early 70s & had not heard of a “narcissist” (I suppose I’m fortunate). I’m in the U.K. so much is different yet the same, maybe it’s our language? This trial has had me gripped, the saddest for Paul & his dear Mama. Alex is the like of which I have ever known. The jury found him guilty of their murders, I have heard he has sought an appeal. He played everyone
Paul was nasty piece of work and so is buster
I must say. Through none of his police interviews does he call his son Paul, “Paul-Paul” he REALLY tried it! 😂 trying to make himself have affection for that boy. Shame!
Does Alex really think that the jury believes his stupid lies??
that is why he took the stand. Cross examination he is another character, his arrogance convicted him. Glad he did.
As an attorney, he knows how to chew a bowl of word salad. More words, more confusion for the jurors to try to sort out. What's pertinent, what's word salad? The man is just pure evil. IMO
Word salad?
Word salad is defined as “a jumble of extremely incoherent speech".
@@princessclaude6615 ok thanks
One of the things that gets me and I think everyone agrees is, the lack of anger towards the 'real killer' and the lack of motivation on his part, or any Murdaugh's part, to find who allegedly did these henious murders. That alone speaks volumes as to his guilt.
Just like OJ
Bingo! And not remembering the last conversation with Maggie and Paul in the Kennels
@@mfeteira The psychotrauma of finding loved ones shot to death (after you just did it, plus scoops of HillBilly Heroin) tends to erase from the memory any small niggling details which would later be detrimental to one's defence.
Everyone was diligently trying to find out who killed his family except him.
@@mfeteira i don’t understand how that would be such a difficult thing to make up. he could just say they were talking about how the dogs were doing or how his mother is, or a baseball game or show they were watching. literally anything
I feel horrible for his family for their untimely deaths being murdered but my heart breaks for the people that trusted him and even those that resulted in death.My God.What evil is this?
83prettyblack - I wouldn't waste my sympathy if I was you. They're not one of them worth it.
He keeps saying he thinks the world of the people he stole from and I find it stunning how he can separate this.
That's how sick in the head he is.
It's despicable to be honest. The audacity of Alex to say he cares when he stole millions from those clients
I think he thought the world of his wife and son too....up until he HAD to do something. It needed to be done. Probably how he felt about those clients. They're nice people but IT needs to be done. Selfish to the core
Did anybody notice that Alex said I WILL NEVER INTENTIONALLY DO ANYTHING TO HARM THEM.
This guy is the king of word salad avoidance.
Bill Clinton...definition of"is."
Southern shady lawyer
No no, I'm sure we needed to hear about the guinea fowl, that's the key to this whole case 😅
Good thing he is working his tongue muscles and mouth a lot. Hes gonna need those skills in prison
Hahahaha…
😂
Even a non guilty person would get a tissue or ask for a tissue but he wanted people to see him “crying” because that was the most important thing to him even if it meant having snot all over him which a “typical” person wouldn’t do but someone that’s trying desperately to get you to believe their lie would.
He was purposely doing it. Listen for his nasal sounds, he blows it out
He was more distraught and frustrated with PawPaw being accused of the boat wreck and hopeful of overturning the law, than finding the ‘killer’ of his own son and wife! He never once showed that same passion and determination for the murders, as he did for the boat wreck! But the boat wreck was opening up a whole new kind of can of worms for Alex! His financial troubles, thefts, and mismanagement of clients claims were fixing to be unleashed!!!!
If he took a Polygraph Test the machine would explode😂😂
😅🤣😂
Imagine the information that we didn't get to hear because it didn't make it into trial. I bet there's more and it points to him.
There are allegations by a prostitute also. It’s on RUclips.
I can tell you a prison recording he called buster told him to go back to the house Buster asked him why he said so he could go deer hunting ..thus is before he was convicted ..According to Alex he is innocent he wasn't the killer so if that was true would there still be a murderer out there not caught ...Why would you ask your so to go bck deer hunting if the murderer wasn't caught
I heard that. Why in God's name would your surviving son want to SHOOT anything on the same property his mother and brother were gunned down on?? It's crazy.
I just realized this, when Alex is talking about those chickens being “Guard birds “ and making a lot of racket when anything unusual is going on or someone is around, those birds would have been making noise if a vigilante was lurking in the shadows and he would have heard that. Also those dogs would have been barking like crazy! They are hunting dogs! I’m surprised he didn’t shoot the dogs too. He gives me nightmares!
Prosecution time was absolutely brilliant! Murdaugh you will meet the devil!
Next question STEVEN SMITH?????
He is the (DEVIl)
Him testifying was a super terrible idea 😂 he seemed more guilty with every question An answer.
He’s lied so much, how can we believe him now?
What has he lied about? I just started watching this
@@IAmEmber everything lol😂
Can't. Boy who cried wolf.
@@IAmEmber He lied over and over to police and SLED the night of the murders. Also, all of the thievery over the years. This guy has NO credibility.
@@IAmEmberhe has a criminal history he has lied to the law before and u can tell he fears he has to lie because no one will believe him if he tells the truth and if he lies they still wont
He even ripped off longtime Nanny who raised his boys! Said there would be big insurance then pocketed it for himself! Maggie was going to divorce him then Paul's lawsuit would cost him $10M!! have no doubt he blew his own family away becuz they were liabilities to him!!
is this narcissism? Is he a narcissistic person. It seems to me that he is. Arrogant? But why did he do it? I do not see a motive
The root to all evil 👿 money 💰
Çheryls explanation sounds right.
How wealthy are they though? I saw the Netflix doc and knowing how much he would do to protect his son it’s tough to believe he would kill him. I’m not saying I believe him, I’m just trying to figure out the motive.
Yup. Definitely the reason why. I thought this even just seeing the documentary.
If I was in on the stand being accused of a family murder I didn’t do, I would be so frustrated and angry and saying in every other sentence “you are wasting time! I did not do this! PLEASE reevaluate and GO FIND WHO DID THIS TO MY FAMILY!!!” We are watching a song and dance!
And your attorney would advise you not to do that. Truth is, we don’t know if he’s lying. But likely, he is.
You cannot evaluate someone else's behavior based on what you would do. This is how the police get it wrong, end up with tunnel vision and end up arresting the wrong person who goes on trial and ends up in jail for life or worse. We don't know if he's actually guilty, he probably is, but he is a liar, and if you lie too much when you do tell the truth, no one will believe you.
That's the way you would act. That doesn't mean that is the way he should act or it means he is guilty. Does your conscience bother you?
@@jessicam5712 No, you can’t evaluate on what we’d do but don’t you think if anyone were accused of this and didn’t do it that they’d be very upset and yell and scream their innocence and be so mad and throw a fit about the fact that they’re being accused of it? I’d never just sit there and talk about straps on a damn tree. I’d sit there and go off for hours about how wrong they are and how stupid they are. I’d be kicked out of court! I’d fight for my life and fight for them to find the killers the entire time I’m in court!
@BJW f yes man. He's simply speaking way too much about nonsense. An innocent person does not talk this much about everything and anything. Well he is. Classic sign of guilt. And people can think what they want. If your wife and son were murdered and your being prosecuted you would be fn frustrated about what's being done with who actually killed his MF family. Period.
1 minute in and he’s nodding yes but saying no to if he killed his wife and son. 🤦🏼♀️
The reason he tried to turn Paul over
He had his phone, was trying to get a face recognition to open paul's phone.
Awful idea since his face was destroyed.
@@TheRoyalNewspaper the back of his head was
His face wasn't destroyed..I suggest whoever made that comment listens to the testimony properly next time!!!!
@@Mags7760 Passionate much?
Well, this pillar of society has had his day in court. Amen.
How many time has he said “ I would never intentionally hurt or kill the” oh ok so it was accidental cos you were drugged up? He did it
Yes, I noticed it too, its like because he's saying "intentionally " that he's not lying because it was in a rage, I believe Paul took his pills while he slept, he woke and went down there to try and get them back and it sent him into a rage. Maggie's car was still running and I can't figure out why.
@@amandagoodrum9708 I've wondered if they were attempting a mini intervention or something, and the car was running because the plan was to take him to a rehab facility but he freaked out first.
I think he was saying it that way bc he knows he hurt them in many other ways… like with his drug addiction and all the lies and everything.
No I did not shaking his head yes. That's body language right there.😒
My thoughts exactly!
It would have driven me nuts him repeating the question and talking in circles. What the hell did he do with all the millions of dollars he stole?
Cars, trips, hunting parties, boats, guns, beach house, town house, hunting lodge….they lived lavish
They had an expensive lifestyle. All their houses. He stole to afford that lifestyle.
Gambling.
The sister says that he wanted his wife to go with him to visit his mom. Why would he just jump in the car and go visit without her? Why not stop at the kennels and pick her up? Or at least ask if she's ready to go visit. He just zooms off.
“I didnt shoot my wife or my Son anytime ever” Why even say the words “anytime” or “ever”? It’s like there was a possibility or a desire to in the past when he could’ve but he didn’t ever shoot them before. Even though he did. It just makes no sense. I don’t know. I can’t explain it. Just seems like those definitely aren’t the words you use to answer THAT question.
I have a certain sympathy for his lawyers who must have known they were defending a lying evil murderer and that they were going to get their asses handed to them. I’m sure they tried to get him to plead guilty for a lesser sentence and probably advised him strongly not to take the stand. But this narcissist truly believed he could talk his way out of this. He’s never been held accountable for anything in his entire life, no doubt he thought that would continue. But everyone gets their comeuppance and he got two life sentences worth. The judge gave it to him with both barrels making those sentences run consecutively.
They’ve filed an appeal already. I don’t feel sorry for them.
Do not feel sorry for either one….
I think his lawyers were sick of him. He made them look like fools by lieing about his alibi. Then the jury says the thing that convicted him was his testimony and going to moselle. I’m not sure they wanted him to testify. Which he did thinking I’m a better lawyer than waters. That was problem he acted like a lawyer not a real person. Which is what the jury wanted to see.
Love how he thinks he can condense that timeline to fit the story once the video was discovered. Without the video his story works: with the phone in the house, getting up from a nap and txting his wife. The amount of steps he took in the time after the murder could have been explained by saying he woke up a bit late, had to rush around etc. Soon as the video was found none of it made sense.
I noticed he won’t look the prosecutor in the eye when speaking to him “No I did not”
What’s with all the smacking today? He lied because he was covering up. Why else would he lie. He’s guilty
A lie is a lie 🤥 there is no justifiable reason for a lie.
Right! The smacking is getting on my nerves, it’s the drugs.
@@renaybrown4313 Maybe this is completely naive of me, but he's been in jail for awhile now. If he stopped opiates when he went to jail, his withdrawal would be long over. Is it possible that he'd still be taking opiates in jail? I doubt his family would help pay for it after what he's put them through. It does look like addict behavior but it could also just be cotton mouth from anxiety over how huge the stakes are here.
His black eyes look so lifeless and evil
Just like a shark’s lifeless eyes…
It's all the "addiction" causing everything. His mouth smacking classic when he is forced to pretend to tell the truth. Disgusting too. His paranoia would not come and go like he's describing.He got off ripping ppl. off & enjoying how he is fooling everyone. Just disgusting.
interesting that you noticed mouth smacking as a sign
How he was smacking the lips, you'd think he had a damn Jolly Rancher in his mouth.
Looks to me like he’s on some kinda antidepressant stuff. Almost all of them cause cottonmouth. It sounds benign, but it’s grotesque.
@@maureenhammack9826 😂😂😂
@@lolodee3528 that’s what I was thinking too- my dad has worked in the prison system for nearly 40 years and he said some of the inmates are on more drugs IN prison than when they’re OUT! To me it doesn’t seem fair, you should have to live with your anxiety and depression but sadly that’s not what happens.
Alex Alex Alex you deserve an Oscar for this performance 🎭
Ikr especially the snot that that on point
Rip Maggie and Paul
He's comfortable running his mouth in the courtroom. "NO I DID NOT"Pure ignorance. No emotion in denying shooting his "loved ones" but when it comes to affecting his future and his alone the emotion shows.
NO I DID not.
No I did not!!!!
@Lucia-hb5kp true narcissistic for sure!! Thank God he was convicted!!
Thinking one knows something they can't actually know. Pure arrogance.
When they don’t use contraction for “did not”, they’re very likely lying
Everything this guy does is annoying.
What did he do with all that money? It wasn’t all for drugs. There is some other situation going on when they’re stealing 10’s of millions and can’t pay it back. It’s not like his entire family and friends were buying pills also. This reeks of hidden money for Buster somewhere else.
There should be charges regarding Badge 570 Badge 571 Impersonating LE as County Soliciter..Caught in a trap...
I had wondered what actual evidence they had on him. However , the lies he told and the 20 seconds did it for me.
Very good cross, going with the actual answers, no way to prep for this hard to do on the spot, great job.
What! This cross was terrible! After watching this entire trial, I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Alex Murdaugh is guilty of both murders in this case. That said, the prosecution was only allowed to bring in evidence of his financial crimes to establish a motive. They were not allowed to use evidence from these crimes to establish Alex’s character. It’s obvious that’s what is happening during the majority of cross. That lawyer handed the defence grounds for appeal on a silver platter by fixating so much on every client he stole from. Alex’s lawyers are likely holding back their objections to such clear character defamation precisely so they can use it to appeal the verdict.
I understand this is not a good man on trial. But I’m annoyed the prosecution actively chose to break the rules laid out in this case. They had more than enough evidence of the actual murders to have won without making this into a inquiry into dozens of financial crimes he’s not even denying.
@@katewilson9183 not saying the overall strategy was executed well, I am a trial lawyer and think the cross was good. If you do it too you know how hard it is.
@@ChristieColeman-uc5dd I can definitely appreciate how hard it is. Not to mention the added pressure of such a high profile case. I think overall the prosecution did a decent job. It was just this specific cross that grated me. I think he even realized that he got carried away with the “look in the eyes and lie to” line, considering he apologized to the jury the next day for how long he went on with that line of questioning.
Interesting how he says he's embarrassed about stealing money from clients not ashamed. Just shows he still doesn't have remorse for stealing.
Ok but like why would anyone care about what he calls the truck that buster drives???😂😂
His own lawyer after he detailed his relationship with Maggie, had to point blank ask him if he loved her.
He's actually apologizing to everyone for killing them.
Sooo curious about Alex’s upbringing and his siblings true nature. Something about John Marvin and cleaning up the scene seems off? Maybe not. I’d kill to know more about Alex’s dad and how he supposedly threatened his wife Libby by putting her obituary in the paper when she threatened divorce…I wonder if there’s truth to that, I heard it in the Netflix doc. If true - how sinister and disturbingly frightening!!!
To the Prosecutor....When Alex Murdaugh is saying he doesn't believe the person was even there is because they were incapacitated in some form from their Injuries, therefore they were not able to come info the office or lacked the mental capacity. That made it easier for him to carry out the criminal offenses as often as he did. This is why he can give the same response over and over..I almost forgot to mention Certified Mail was a way to do things back in the day.
Early signs of bipolar manic black outs , scitzo by drug use (can also be caused by alcohol) , alzimhers , mpd, borderline personality disorder, a million things I don’t think he is guilty , I think drugs have damaged his brain by abuse of prescription medication that wasn’t ment for him . Just not enough pointing to him
Can someone plz put the link to the sons video here? I've looked through the videos but can't find it. Thank you
Hmmmm, no one accept Paul and Maggie knew about Alec’s pills. You can’t walk around all the time masking opioids.
He’s exaggerating it for his case
Not true, Gloria knew, she found them hidden under bed.
Sure you can, I done it for a decade
Yes you can lol. I was doing heroin in my parents house for 4 years. The only time they thought there was a problem maybe, was when I ran out. People really don’t understand how opioids work. If you aren’t shooting up it is VERY easy to hide
Paul's girlfriend also obviously knew. So yeah, even if he's not counting Gloria because she was dead, it's still not true that no one else knew.
Yea you can…
Waters out lawyered AM all day long.
Notice that when talking about his wife, he never said how much he loved her or how he fell in love with her. She was just a goodun who could fit in with his crowd and the poor people. She didn’t take to childbirth like it was a choice. She never questioned the finances and just signed what she wanted her to. Second class, there to serve his needs.
9:14 does anyone else find his statement curious? “When the sunflowers got killed, when we knew they were dead” we knew Paul was coming home.
He just loves all this attention and hearing himself yack.
So he didn’t hear the shots? Liar.
Today's extremely accurate second-by-second phone records, steps taken, texts repeated etc., reveals facts. And nothing but the facts.
So they had cameras on the porch but no where else? That's odd to me
Buster was next in line to inherit the “thrown” of that town, that’s the only reason he didn’t die too
Paul messed busters $ up
Buster-ass is too stupid to carry on the family tradition.
"When you cry, let some snot drip outta your nose. No one would think someone would fake THAT!"
^ probable advice for Alex
Very gross, and he didn’t even ask for more Kleenex so def seemed intentional
It was his lame attempt to convey “I’m snot guilty.”
@@CynthiaDyer-qr7jb 😂😂😂 LMFAOOOOO
He had no distrust in SLED when he flashed his “badge” at the hospital with the boat case. Actually he had a ton of trust in sled. Funny defense wants to use that narrative.
He is so full of it.if he had that badge hanging out staff would not have questioned him going in everyones rooms.
This is his lawyers giving him timelines about what to say when asked. He’s tying himself in a mess……yeah give them all the unnecessary information. It’s called distracting the jurors with fillers.
He gives more detailed information than he needs to. He's trying to establish a rapport with the jury..."make them like me" "they will see that I'm just a normal guy" He gets an A+ for lying constantly and putting on a show. True Narcissist at work here. They got your number...how about Stephen Smith's life? What happened there Alex/Buster? I'm thrilled that case is being opened back up.
A malignant Nac + Psychopath. He is really mentally disturbed.
*rapport
Thats funny when if were being honest what about him is likable?? He gets a fair unbiased jury with me so i guess we got 5 hours worth of day 1 to watch let the man have a fair shake the whole way through ! I know trials over but everybody instantly has an opinion you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt which it sounds like based off 7 mins in he was fcked instantly
Unfortunately any false rapport he succeeds in showing is completely self serving. He does nothing without an ulterior motive for HIMSELF in my opinion. One of the worst pathological liars and narcissists I’ve ever seen on trial. Unfortunately people like him have very few (IF ANY) redeeming features. He loves himself far too much to ever do an “Epstein’. Anyone that can murder people the professed to love is totally and completely incapable of rehabilitation, the Judge obviously recognised that with his sentence.
With all the hurt he did to people that hired him he is wating time. I definitely dont see them liking him.
OMG when he first sat down at the beginning talk about awkward
Fr 😂
The very 1st questions he's asked he's saying no he didn't do this yet he's nodding his head as in yes I did do it. You'd think a supposed high flying attorney he'd know about basic body language 🤔🤣
He sits on a throne of lies
He could of saved all that dripping snot! It’s not convincing.. it’s just gross.
Excellent job to prosecution coming right back in from defense questioning Alex. Showed exactly how Alex can turn on and off those "emotions".
Here we go, let’s cry a bit. We have to convince the jurors remember?!?
Alex learn how to scheme from his family. The state need to look into all the cases that family law firm ever dealt with. I guarantee they stole a lot of money from clients to fund their lifestyle. Them partners was not blind to the stealing.They all crooks .
He actually thought he'd get on the stand and get off? He is the ultimate fool for a client, representing himself via the witness stand.
Pau!Pau!!! He’s playing emotional. Don’t believe him.
As a seasoned attorney, he knew what would swing a jury
Makes you wanna throw up little in the back of your throat, huh?
A grown man , a lawyer in court can’t even call him Paul. Get over that baby talk, you killer,,,
Apparently not. 😂
So we not gone talk about how his dad magically died days after his son and wife 😭😭 I think he killed his daddy too.
Even the thermostat could read his evil. 🔥🔥🔥
6666!
I adore the fact that their main defense was that they leave their crap literally anywhere and everywhere - guns, unlocked cars, clothes lol.
bro be smacking his lips likes he's Heath Ledger. Damn this story is crazy
if he didn’t do it, he definitely knows who did & just don’t want that person to get caught. regardless, he knows exactly what happen to his son & wife
So he would fall on a sacrificial sword? No…people who do things like this? The hatred builds up in them slowly (this is my opinion)..this is a man who needs to “control” everything around him. His life started spiraling out of control as soon as the firm’s accountant told him they knew about his stealing the money from the clients. And then he convinced himself it wasn’t his fault but Maggie’s ….nagging about his pill taking….and Paul’s boat fiasco that became his problem after Mallory Beach’s death and he was sued personally because Paul was under age…it isn’t a stretch because he murdered them that day! And I am sure opioids and alcohol had a lot to do with it! Very sad…but if Paul didn’t video that last meeting at the kennel …he probably would have gotten away with it!
it would be nice if I could go two minutes w/ out ads popping up.
youtube premium is the best
Notice how the prosecutor asks him a question and Alex repeats the prosecutors question before answering? Hes trying to buy himself time before answering. Liars use that delaying tactic....
Good catch! I noticed that too
He's also a lawyer so he's trained adequately in the art of conditioning, confusing, legal-ease and pure and simple BS... That's part of it as well.
He’s also trying to make himself appear smaller another manipulation tactic.
Uhh ever noticed in beauty pageants when they’re asked that famous question, and they always repeat it before answering. So they’re always lying?
@Lisa Krug - In regards to repeating the question. I shouldve been more clearer. They repeat the question, to buy themselves time to think of an answer. Liars use it as a delaying tactic. Id say beauty contestants arent necessarily liars but they are buying themselves time to come up with an answer. Its not always used by liars I guess lol 👍
I can’t stand either of his defense attorneys. 🤢🤮
Can't believe they let this fool testify.
Murdaugh says "No I did not" while consistently nodding yes
True
I think that is a tremor related to his opioid addiction….there are great many side effects from “detox” and I have read about nose running…lots of sniffing and tremors. So he rocks back and forth as well.
Along with thinking this guy is a horrible actor, now I'm worried that anytime I hear the term "pa pa" in the future, instead of picturing some ones sweet little old grandfather, I'll think of this.
