- “Are you a family annihilator?” Prosecutor Creighton Waters asked Alex Murdaugh, who denied the allegation, before going on to list every lie the disgraced lawyer has told and admitted to in the investigation of his wife and son’s murders. Waters pointed out that many of the victims of Murdaugh’s lies were also victims of his financial crimes.

The guy seems to have lied to everyone he's ever known, what's stopping him from lying to a bunch of jurors he's never met.
Hope the jury will see reality, his guilt is plain and clear.
@@rayross997 Based on what? The fact he lied about being at the kennels?
The problem with that is there's nothing that ties him to the actual murders. He lied about being at the kennels. Okay. So how did he kill Maggie and Paul? What did he do with the guns? How did he clean up in the ludicrously short time frame he had? Why was there no forensic evidence of that clean up at the house? Why was Maggie's phone logging activity more than half a mile from where we know Alex was?
Lying does destroy his credibility, but without more, I don't see where you get past reasonable doubt. We don't even have a coherent theory of the crime.
He's lied to more people then I have ever met in my 71 years...
This the truth. AM has already demonstrated he has no regard for anyone, family, friend or foe. a liar does what a liar does, that is, lie. So when is anyone supposed to trust that what he is saying, "this time" is the truth?
- I hope the jury sees, this time is no different. The only yes in AM vocabulary is Yes, he killed his wife and son, or had it done. Period.
How many murderers say they would never hurt a family member. But they have no problem killing them.
Off course he will never hurt them because they are dead
If you listen to him when his lawyer was questioning him he was very careful to always say I didn’t “intentionally” kill my wife and son.......
Alex is capable of telling himself that he spared Maggie and Paul from the shame of his crimes being exposed. He may not have been able to tolerate the shame that came with being exposed, especially with Paul and Maggie.
@@DonnaLena1 why not buster?
I love how this narcissistic psychopath repeats the question to give himself more time to gin up an answer.
Agree, typical behaviour....
Ty somebody finally said it!!
Yes!
I don't know about a narcissist and a psychopath, but I DO know that is IT a common occurrence with a liar !
Exactly
Look at the anger in his eyes towards the prosecuter when asked questions about the murders, he's furious. Pure evil😈
Listening to Alex weave a trail of lies is exhausting. Pray for wisdom for the jury so they can make the right decision.
If the jury get it wrong...we all face our maker who has the Book of Life. We all will ultimately be judged at bema seat. I pray everyone is capable of accepting the Redeemer and His sacrifice...and have true remorse and repentance prior to their final judgement...we all are sinners ..every one of us. All sins must be paid for....no matter how big or small. I am trying not to judge but to pray for myself and others inluding Alex to reach true repentance. Without it we all cannot be forgiven.
I couldn't listen to it all. So much chaff.
🙏🙏🙏
@@lollypop2413 what a crock of bs. The only Justice is here and now.
✍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
When I was a young boy, my stepfather, whom I refer to as my dad, taught me this one thing. He said, Marty, tell the truth, don't ever lie. As long as you always tell the truth you do not have to remember what you said. I try to live by that.
Smart man 👍👍👍 So true
Same here.
A very wise man and a great dad ! My dad taught me to always tell the truth and I would never get in trouble.... Truth has served me well !
Your stepfather must have been familiar with Mark Twain. My dad used to quote that to me as well.
My wife surprised me once and cut all her beautiful hair off, she asked “how do you like it?”.........I lied!
Just plead GUILTY!!!! I’m embarrassed for him🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
He dismisses all notion of embarrassment. He is entitled and as such does not know how to feel embarrassment.
I agree. I kept hoping he would just stand up and say I did it. I think his arrogance would never allow to plead guilty.
No need to be embarassed for him - he's not
I keep thinking that now he’s had the weekend to dream up more scenarios. He missed his calling as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” author! (My boys loved those books! 😉)
I had yet another thought: If Alex didn’t do it, how did he know to lie about what he was doing at the time of the murders? He said the reason he lied about being at the kennels was because he was paranoid due to his drug use. However, he ‘discovered’ the bodies at 10:07. If he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t know the exact time of death. He would only know they happened between approximately 8:45 and 10:05. That’s an hour and 20 minutes. Why lie specifically about the small window of time at the kennels unless he knew the murders happened before he left for his mom’s?
Good point.
I thought much the same thing!
He hired a guy to shoot him .. this guy capable of anything. Control freak .. just like he try’s to play the jury and act like he has dementia with the prosecutor. .. hope jury don’t fall for his play acting. He’s been off the chain long time.
Let's not forget he threw Maggie's phone on the side of the road on the exact timeline to his parent's house.
A BLIND PERSON CAN SEE THAT, HE LIED TO THE POLICE AS SOON AS THEY SHOWED UP, YOU ARE CORRECT ON YOUR COMMENT.
Being a pathological liar doesn't make you a murderer but murderers tend to be pathological liars.
Well, when you lie about being with the victims at the time of their murder, that's a pretty good clue you're a murderer.
Lying to craft an alibi tends to show you are the murderer. And the nature of these thefts shows a depraved heart, detached.
Yes it does, lie to over a dozen people constantly.....you will lie about murder!!!
Best comment
He’s much more than just a liar. He STOLE MILLIONS from people who suffered injury and LOSS OF LIFE. He’s a demon and needs to suffer in prison for the rest of his life!
This man has a fantastic memory of who he lied to, yet forgets key details of the night of the murder.
At very important times during the night that he conveniently just can't remember. 🙄
Ok. I can definitely tell he’s lying today. Hope the jury can see through his BS.
Yep 👍 💯 agree. If this jury let’s him walk with all the overwhelming evidence that has been presented they will regret it IMO
Me too. I’m so worried
I truly am going to start praying for the jury to have the discernement to recognize his TOTAL lack of truthfulness !
If he gets off, he will walk on financial crimes also.
He's a LAWYER for God's sake!!!! WHY would he put himself on the stand? Of all people.....he should know better. Then again, narcissists don't see themselves as others see them.
His lies have ruined SO MANY peoples lives!! It is SO sad!
Very sad that it's all come to this Money
SO tragically TRUE !
After the Netflix doc, I feel zero sympathy for ANY Murdaugh, only those who encountered them.
@@sloan_005 I don't want to watch it, but can you tell me why Maggie was a bad person? Just really curious?
@@ddt67 - If you watch, you’ll get the whole family dynamic.
Every time he says NO he shakes his head YES ! The body don't lie!
that head nod is from heavy drug use habit
Hes been doing that throughout the whole trial Freud!It means nothing
That family was a hot mess. Father giving alcohol to minors, the sons drinking and they acted like it was alright. Maybe cause they wanted to be the "cool" parents. But that was years in the making, starting from the grandfather.
Buster was named in the death of young boy killed and left n the middle of the road Murdaugh name 5 bodies 6 years!!
You watched the Netflix documentary too?
what did Grampa do?
@@margierousu468 the grandfather was a big enabler along with the father. Actually that whole family was/is
So he pulls up at the kennels and sees Pauls bloody body and tries to roll him over. Then goes to Maggy and touches her stomach which would be bloody from the wound. Then he calls 911 to say they've been shot and she tells him not to touch the bodies but he says he already has. The cops then pull up with their body cams on and Alex has no BLOOD on his hands nor arms or any where else because you see him clean on the body cams. How did he get so clean after touching those bodies when the cops got there while on the phone with 911? I'm not asking about when they were shot but when he was on the phone with 911 and he said he already touched the bodies. This proves he's lying because you can't bend over and try and turn over a body that's had it's brains blown out in which they said brain matter was all the way to his feet. He should have had blood on him because he said he touched their bloody bodies. I know when he was on the phone and came up to the cop his body cam showed NO blood on his hands, arms, nor the shirt. He's lying.
Exactly 💯. Why wasn't he asked about this by anyone.. especially the prosecutor!!
He’s gasping for breath as he talks to the 911operator, like he’s running. He could have run to the house and changed before the PO’s got there? 🤔👍
@@luv2fly745 This would of proved to the jury. 💯
@@Schiffon But they kept up with his walk through his phone. I guess I need to go back and see if they mentioned that.
But yet to he runs all the way to the house which a burglar can be in there to run inside and get a gun that doesn't make sense to me
Alex wasn’t lying about the fact that Paul is a “little detective”, because Paul basically solved his own murder case with that last video he took!
Who'd a thunk ? Busted by an i-phone video ! Paul is reaching out from the grave to bust his murderer.
@@LucyLennon20 I said the exact same thang
@@tracybruner3835 21st century technology solved this case. ⚖
He took 300 steps while simultaneously taking a nap for about 10 minutes before leaving
Ok that! Cracked me up!
You can see why he wanted on the stand!!!!
He's a master manipulator. God PLEASE don't let the jury fall for it in Jesus name
😂LOL ..In Jesus’ name??? Wow. You crack me up! Good one! 😂
Amen!
Proverbs 26:27 "Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them."
Watch what Waters does with the trap he set for himself.
Being a good manipulator depends on the weak being manipulated.
He’s such a pathetic POS. Guilty. You see, he has zero emotion about stealing from the housekeepers sons. Zero. That’s a psycho narcissist
Him sitting there in silent after admitting that he lied, he knows he's been caught. The prosecutor did an amazing job
I think the prosecutor did a good job showing how easy it is for this guy to lie as it is to breath !
Nope.
prosecutor can't use all this to demean character, only to build motive. jury was instructed as well, they can't base their verdict on character.
And I am so sick of hearing him say Paul-Paul and Mags........I bet he never even called them that in life.
Well, PAUL is speaking from the grave by having that kennel video out! Thank God for him posting that!!
That video he is saying dad tell the truth you did it and you was there
Me too such southern charm BS!
Where can I watch the video
I lied to all these people but to the jury I'm innocent, funny to me.
Funny that his lawyers aren’t objecting ANYTHING!!!
The defense will try for a plea deal.
@@robertsmith5744 I don't think they will have that opportunity at this point. The prosecution would have to offer that up and THEN, the judge would Need to Approve it ! I DON"T think that will be happening.
@@robertsmith5744 He'd have to fully admit to everything at this point. Judge most likely wouldn't bother otherwise at this point. He's lining up for appeals.
They did a few times but were overruled.Great judge.Kudos sir!!!
@@sloan_005 That's appeal not plea deal.
If you come across your murdered loved ones, you would have told the police:
“I was at the kennels with Mags & Paul, then came home, then went to Ma’s, then found them … I couldn’t believe it! I just saw them, how did this happen? I didn’t see anyone there!!! What happened?!?! “
No one would ever lie about that detail. He would have pointed out when he left the kennels - to help pinpoint when someone else might have showed up to kill them.
Alex only came clean because they had the Snapchat video. It proves his guilt. The times of their deaths doesn’t matter.
The ironic part is the guy who he killed is the one whose gonna lock him up
Exactly 💯 I think I would be screaming for the law to lock down the roads outa here cuz these killers aren't far off from here. He had alot of pull and he would have used it if he wanted it
Well said HL Florida gal! 👏👏👏🎯🎯💯💯💯
EXACTLY!
Excellent point!
The amount of lies and the level of liar he is is unreal, he can lie with zero issues, great job by the prosecution, dude could easily be lying about anything at any point.
ZERO conscience
Yes he is nothing but lies too many to count never saw anything like him
"Practice makes perfect."
So YOU don't lie or lied before ??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The liar’s head (subconsciously) bobs up & down while saying no.
He bobs his head when he is emotional about a particular line of questioning. A nonstarter. Study his body language throughout. You may rethink your judgement.
Drug use*
This is a great example of why criminal defense lawyers usually tell their clients *not* to take the stand.
True but in this situation, there was a need to have him on the stand to explain why he lied about his location that night. In most cases the other side doesn’t have concrete proof that a defendant lied to law enforcement for weeks about very relevant trial information.
He only admitted he was at the Kennels when he found out about the video Paul made I hope Paul is speaking from the grave!
Wow, how angry did he look...... if looks could have killed then that lawyer would be stone dead.
yeah, that was spooky
His eyes are the window to his soul
EVIL eyes for Sure! That stare of his is evil!😮
I felt the same.
Yes it’s was like he was gonna come out of the chair and attack someone very demonic
I believe Alex also killed Paul & Maggie because Maggie was shopping around for a divorce attorney, she was sick of Alex's drug use & his lies! She was going to clean him out financialy & he was in a panic!
Hi. Is that true? She wanted a divorce?
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯ding ding ding!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@jeaninemartin - It’s true she met with divorce lawyers outside the area.
@@alphachicsuc1178 thanks!
He would have to come clean about his finances if she divorced him and he also didn't want to release his financial records for the lawsuit against his son. He thought if they were both gone, then the divorce and lawsuit would be gone too.
“I lied to them 1.5 million ppl too watching this” said alex Murdaugh 😂
Nice one!
Being as narcissistic as he is, I'm sure he loves knowing so many people are watching his trial and seeing him. Sick!
🤣
The more I hear, the more I realize that the jury would have to be brain dead to believe this guy now !
That is a huge courtroom full of a whole gaggle of lawyers.
Anybody that thinks this man is innocent, believes OJ Simpson is innocent
there is a difference between believing he is innocent and believing the state didn't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. A not guilty verdict does not mean he is innocent.
@@elizabethnelson92 I totally agree… hence is why I said “INNOCENT “
@DustYRoadS - Absolutely sure about that?
@@elizabethnelson92 agree
does anyone really believe OJ is innocent? i guess there might be.
You can see the RAGE in his face, when Mr. WATERS asked him about annihilating MAGGIE & PAUL.
One of the few times AM has told the truth…..’I think it was related to the boat incident, whoever did this hated Paul and was filled with anger.’ That’s exactly what he felt and why he killed them. Maggie was collateral damage. Paul’s careless actions caused AM’s whole life to unravel and he hated him for it. AM made sure to say he didn’t think it was any of the kids *riding* in the boat or their families. Who else was so deeply affected by the boat wreck? AM. He’s GUILTY.
Great point!👍
on the one hand - yes but on the other, Alex did everything for his kids, for Paul. Always when Paul was in trouble, Alex went above and beyond to cover for him, to get him out of impossible situations, etc. So these two things are contradictory. It's all really strange.
@@russelconor8704 Him covering things up was for the family name and reputation not for Paul. It’s why Alex was concerned only with clearing “Paul’s name” after death and not finding the killer. The Murdaugh reputation is THE only thing this narcissist cares about.
It's almost karma. Paul started the unraveling of Alex's web of lies and IMO would have led to the murders if he's guilty. It's karma that Paul reached out from the grave with the videos he took to expose him and complete the unraveling and takedown.
@@russelconor8704 - Covering up for Paul also helped Alex financially.
9:07 Boss-level questioning. Creighton Waters will be studied. Balls of steel to go up against this system. And he does it nonchalantly! Really nice. He’s an artist.
This is crazy , lie after lie after lie, how can the jury believe anything he says
@@jmc8626 he’s a liar that can’t be believed..
I haven’t seen the evidence he’s guilty of this tho 🤷🏻♂️
Unfortunately even when he's found guilty I feel like he's the kind of guy that will never take accountability and will take it to the grave, so I feel like we'll never hear him tell the full story.
He isn't capable of shutting up. I think he'll screw up eventually and let something slip.
@@bellbottoms2 I think that's why he's allowed to go & on with not a lot of specific "yes/no" questions...
that is textbook narcissist. never me, always a fault of a situation.
I agree with you
Do you feel entitled to whole story?
Not telling the whole truth is…still a lie !
But it's not murder.
Yep ! I think a LOT of our parents taught us that at a young age !
@Sally Smith Then why lie? The things he lied about make no sense unless it's an attempt to distance himself from a crime scene. And why would an innocent man feel the need to do that?
Innocent people don’t need to lie.
Thank you !!
Absolutely 👍
I LOATHE being lied to ... I wish people didn't lie when thwere was no need.
People lie for no reason all the time. LYING ISNT MURDER. We are here to prove MURDER X 2.
People innocent of murder lie every day, I haven't followed this case at all so this isn't an opinion on his guilt or innocence.
He said he did not bring his phone to the kennels because the reception was bad and could only be picked up at a certain spot , yet he was perfectly able to walk around while calling his brother .
Worked fine for 911
Great point.
He was hoping his sleeping at the house story stuck. Paul will never know how important his snapchat was.
Paul ratted him out to Maggie, she had left him, they weren't living together at the time. Paul was being a little detective and with Paul gone he wouldn't have to pay the millions owed out of his pocket for the boating accident. Maggie was onto TBE money situation...
Poor troubled Paul "the little detective" needed his own detective. Alcohol, drugs, driving boats and cars - DUI. Not good.
The guy had 2 immature parents extremely poor parenting!
A big mess.
Alex Murdaugh owned the boat...he was and is still on the hook.
This guy is something else. We literally heard him call Paul a "little detective" on video in court, but he sits there up on the stand denying that he ever called him that.
@@merlebonds3417 sure but in his mind, a lawyers mind, aside from sympathy he is just looking to disrupt the process, trip up the truth so he can inject a false reality, introduce doubt like he is trying to do now, and if the families still pursued the lawsuits Paul wouldn't be alive to testify.
@@usaloveme I think Paul was a hard core alcoholic who really needed help. REAL help, like detox and a wilderness camp.
When someone answers your question, with the same question they have been asked, they are GUILTY
I am still shocked he is testifying. Most attorneys do not put their clients on the stand.
Can’t tell a narcissist nothing.
Alex: “I insist on going up there and making a fool of myself” 😂😂
I'm not surprised. The biggest piece of evidence I have seen is the caretakers statement. All this guy has is circumstantial and Alex is a generationally seasoned litigator. Lies may be lies, but its not enough to accusse a person of killing their family.
Every narcissist thinks they are the smartest person in any room. Always. Plus, he has nothing to lose. He’s never getting out - he just doesn’t want to be convicted of murder. The theft will keep him behind bars for the rest of his sorry life.
He's a narcissist, he is so entitled and arrogant, he still assumes after decades of manipulating people he can continue to do so. Look at how many people over decades believed his lies. His attorneys can only make recommendations, it's up to AM to decide whether he will testify.
dogs would have barked had there been a intruder in the area
The dogs were barking on the 911 call, so not much to that theory.
It’s insane that there are some people following this trial that are still saying not guilty in those live polls.
They're not watching the whole trial. There watching the little short clips or only reading headlines. I've read comments on here and you could tell some people don't know anything, yet commenting. Then they get straightened out by other people and they say they hadn't watched that part or something like that.
P.S. I've been watching this case everyday, all of it. The only time I fast forward was when Buster testified, I didn't really care to hear what he had to say. Got tempted to fast forward when A.M testified, he gave me a headache. He kept going in circles. I didn't fast forward though because I knew it would eventually get good so I watched the whole thing. Like around 10 hours of B.S. lies from Alec (Alex) (A.M.) whatever you want to call him 😅
Yea also just people who want attention
They don't understand evidence and circumstantial evidence. They think you need a smoking gun. You don't.
you have to wonder if the Murdaught"camp" have some in these polls that yell out not guilty-
This is getting harder to watch. The entire case is so sad
I agree, the pitiful state of a man. Makes me sick and sad at the same time.
Wow seeing Alex's raging expression at the prosecutor after he was asked if he was a family annihilator was so telling of the evil that's really inside his soul.
I just now read about family annihilators - wow! To be compared to Chris Watts and John Peterson…. No wonder Alex was so ticked off! I wonder if this was the first time that accusation was brought up to him. Alex fits a lot of the criteria.
I think it was, caught him off guard. And he answers with the family name. His. “Whoever did this planned it for a long time.”
That look gave me chills. His whole demeanor changed.
Above all else, Alex must have control of the narrative
Then “Who did it, Alex?” “Who else would use your guns to do such brutal killings?”
The maid because they didn't eat the green beans.
BIG, BIG mistake for Alex to testify…he has sealed his own fate by all this testifying…
This guy just can’t shut up! He walked himself straight to the needle!
Death penalty is off the table for the trial.
Someone pointed it out yesterday, but every time he says "no" he nods his head.
Let the bobbing and lying begin
I think he’s early stage Parkinson’s.
This dude has done a lot of lying.
We’ve all lied as much if not worse than him, the only difference, he’s on TV for all to see hence why we all need forgiveness from God!
Imagine on judgment day, all our records being read out (even things we’ve forgotten that God keeps record of) it’s a terrible day for all if we’ve not repented and believe in Jesus.
@@JJ-1818
Say what? We’ve all lied as much as him???? 😳😳😳😳 Speak for yourself.
@@JJ-1818 speak for yourself.
@@JJ-1818 You're probably one of his supporters because that's pure BS.
@@sharonamadi8656 I really have no idea what this case is about but trust me we’ve all lied 🤥 the ones saying they haven’t, that’s a lie!
Wow, is that not the devil in him when he gives Waters that stare down and takes a deep breath after Waters asks him if he is a family annihilator. Then he realizes everyone is watching him and composes himself. Even the lady in the defense camp behind his attorneys gasps and takes a deep breath when she notices Alex’s demons coming out. Scary stuff
‘Family Annihilator’ - I've been saying this from the day I learned of the murders.
Yes the day I heard about the murders I assumed it was him and he was going to blame the town’s people for revenge for the boat crash.
An accurate description...
“It's Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.” - Mark Twain. Until today that is, AM making it easy for the jury to see how AM goes about fooling people, with his word salad, brain salad. Now it's one of us that did it!!! LOL!
I’m a SC resident and I couldn’t be happier that I’m not a juror for this trial. The guy is guilty and full of ish yet pitiful!!!
A.M. is a devious snake, no pity due.
As horrible as it seems he is, there is likeablilty I still find him to have. It just be my Yankee ears hearing the accent. He seems like he is the mayor in his mind He is a character for sure.
@@susanbengston3208 I agree! Like the CPA of his former law firm said earlier in testimony, Alec is very good in the art of bs.
The law school I went to had acting classes for being a lawyer.
I took the acting classes on my own, but it did more good in a nursing career than statistics ever did. It helped me to read people and respond in a way they could identify with.
Are YOU SERIOUS ????? I truly am in shock.... Please tell me that that is an actual fact !
Yikes!!!!
Waters must've been there; posing at the podium with glasses in hand staring down Alex murdaugh.
@@janeferguson4455 It's a fact. I was in law enforcement and have known this to be the case, according to the lawyers I interacted with. Also, they often do moot court training.
If I were Alexander I would be screaming who killed my family but I don’t hear him screaming who killed my family because he did kill his family
I know it may seem that way if you've not experienced it but I arrived at a scene where my son had died and there were police and people around but I wasn't asking what may seem like "obvious" questions or shouting & screaming what people might think. Quite the opposite in fact. Shock affects everyone differently & even if he was guilty, he would more than likely be in shock.
Mmmmm
@@MarkSiosal Marc, so sorry for your loss but thank you for sharing. Your insight is important.
literally within the first 50 seconds of the police arriving he says ' this whole thing started a while ago because of a boating accident' It's so cringe that he immediately is like, yeah someone else def did this and it wans't me at all! He sucks at lying
He knows who the real killer is, out golfing with OJ. Both alike.
2:51 It's nice to hear he "didn't *have* to lie" to Johnny. 😌
Just laughed out loud
@@rebeccad.3544
Got that😂😂
@@rebeccad.3544 I just noticed the woman with dark hair behind the prosecution's table. Watch her eyebrows. haha
The last two days the state have made it clear he has no sympathy, stealing from his clients either being dead or very hurt from accidents. No sympathy from lying to every person he was around including his own wife and close family, lying even to police multiple times. They have show he has little to no remorse about stealing, lying, and being in control of most situations to his own personal benefit. How easily could he be lying to the jury and show no remorse by doing so.
He lies so much I don’t think he knows what the difference is between his reality & fiction….he’s veil to steal from not just to his law partners but people who were injured & needed the money more than he did.
Yes, but there is still no direct evidence that he shot his wife or son and much to suggest that he didn't. All the financial data should not have been allowed by the judge in my opinion, as this is separate and will be tried individually, and not even tried yet, so could cloud any future cases.
@@Lucienne-zz1sw Listen to the Judge..... he allowed the financial in because the State is determining that Alex Murder's life was falling apart! And, killing his family was the next step! Go back and listen again!
state wasted time, tearing his character down. not enough focus on motive. jury can't base verdict on his character. they were instructed not to.
@@Lucienne-zz1sw you are so right...I also think that allowing that evidence in was more prejudicial than probative and may be reversed on appeal.
Judge: Mr Murderaugh, I sentence you to life in prison...and I'm not lying
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He has to repeat each question so he can think of the next lie. Jury will get it right. He did it.
"There was NOBODY around to upset the dogs and make them start barking "!.. golly gee ! When did the killers show up ?
AM is one of the strangest, creepiest defendants I have ever watched.Why are there no other suspects, AM?
@lynn yep shark eyes

Because the police never Investigated the drug gang
@@chelsinelson302 um, yes they did. He's facing 3 charges right now
Hardly an objection from the defense, well done Prosecution.
Al,ex, and his team of high priced lawyers thought they could easily manage a state paid prosecutor and the judge. They were wrong!!!! . I just hope they haven't fooled the jury.
Well the defence did try to help him but the judge kept over ruled which I think was unfair I'd say they just gave up at that point
waters wasted a lot of time on demeaning the character of alex. jury was instructed to not base verdict on character, and that previous financial lies were only to be used for MOTIVE, not "well he lied then, he'll lie now."
They feel they already have enough appeal stuff
@@Seashellsbytheseashore21 he is trying to convince the jury that AM can easily lie to them as well. He is a master manipulator

Snapped gambling Is it a gambling problem?
Yes it can but this was far more than him popping some painkillers
Drugs were the least of the worries for this monster. His greed and privilege led to his downfall, the drugs were just a post it on all he has done and destroyed
Yep!! And I believe he is using the so called “addiction” for a sympathy card, trying to play victim. Sickening psychopath!
@@sgashner397 hes always the victim...thats his MO
Imagine being married to a man like Alex. They were all victims at some point or another. 😟
Lots of women are married to men like this
@@JB-pe2yn Describe "lots", and how you came to that conclusion.
Some women like it and are compatible to psychopaths for obvious reasons.
@@VioletJoy The meaning is beyond obvious. Did they strike a nerve in you?
@@jessp8238 Saying "lots" isn't clear. It's just common to make generalizations for no apparent reason.
The witness says he "takes issue"..... in what other court would that pass by ?
And to continue to talk and tell the prosecutor to HANG ON and keep taking. He did that at least twice yesterday and once on Thursday.
It’s not just the lying for the financial thievery, it is the serious harm that he did by doing so. To the very vulnerable, disabled, needy if medical care, and grieving people he stole from. Who trusted in him.
Without the conscience or care. That is what needs to be shown to exhibit his harmful abilities.
This may be the case, but it has no relevance to the murder accusation and as of the present, there is no direct evidence that AM was the shooter and much to suggest he wasn't. I am not arguing either way, but this is a murder case and the prosecutor is treating it as a financial fraud case in significant detail, to try to sway the jurors. This is wholly inappropriate.
@@Lucienne-zz1sw Totally Agree!
Luciene: You are admitting that you are unable to see or grasp the Whole Picture, so unable to understand the process involved in discovering the Truth in this very serious Case. I hope you’re able to glean some valuable knowledge from this Trial. Good luck.
“I’m sure I lied probably” Wow!
This good old country boy act is so weak.
"Did you shoot your wife and son?" "No, I would never..." while nodding YES!
Yes, I noticed that too. Very conflicting nonverbals. I hope the jury is seeing the same thing.
Yes. Watch the body language
Dang it. I missed that.
What time did this happen? Gotta see it... 👀 😏 😬
He constantly nods, so you can’t take that as legitimate. He nods ALL THE TIME.
How could one man be so diabolically evil?
He's genetically inclined to borderline psychopathy. So by walking down certain paths in life, paved the way for his extreme behavior.
You would have to be an absolute psychopath to commit these crime wherein you are so obviously the assailant…and to STILL put the remaining victims, friends, families through this FARCE of a trial. This man is a monster. And his attorney must agree because why else would you let him take the stand? 😂
I believe the prosecutor is doing a great job on a very tough case.
If this jury let’s this guy walk with all this overwhelming evidence presented they may as well hang a sign on the town welcome to sign that says they roll over for rich people.
I would move town
Agree- this well to do lying and immoral family should be put in their place. Hang a sign…. A town of liars… a town of Murdaugh’s and the deaths that follow them… is stay clear!!
If he was asked if his wife and son were inconveniences, I bet he'd say yes in his round about way of course. He sure gives a look that could kill when directly confronted because he isn't a direct kinda guy...smarmy, soulless, common crook.
He's a Gemini! He can talk in circles for hours and never, ever get to the point. . .
@@sewzolamarie7527 😆😂
@@sewzolamarie7527 I'm a Gemini too, and I can definitely talk a person's ear off LOL!!
Powerful moment at the end. The prosecutor definitely had some movie character moments.
I really wish the prosecutor would step it up a little bit. Maybe it's just me, but he isn't putting hardly any pressure on Alex. This case calls for a Juan Martinez kind of personality 🤣
@@cedarpinelife yeah something is definitely fishy. Sometimes I can't tell if it's the prosecutor or the defense asking him questions and that's not good.
@@brattygardener8373 I think his style is respected more. He's very calculated and is drawing this out in a slow, painful way.
Please someone make a movie about this and hire Richard Dreyfuss to play Atty. Waters.....they could be brothers!
I kind of disagree, I think he wanted it to be powerful, but because AM wasn't answering the questions succinctly like he was trying to get him to, AM kept interrupting the "flow" the prosecutor was trying to establish - AM was a good lawyer - he's not going to play into any theatric shenanigans
This is agonizing to watch. He's so egotistical that he still believes he's believable. Even his lawyers look like they've been slain.
I know they just want to crawl in a hole… nothing they can do though… narcissist at its finest… has an excuse for everything… lies, steals, manipulates. Prosecutor has beat the horse to death… but AM dug his own hole when he took the stand.
At the 34 second mark after he's asked if he's a family annihilator his eyes look so angry and he then breaths deep like he's mad at the prosecutor. To me that look gives me a chill because I bet that was the look on his face as he murdered his family.
Exactly what I was thinking- if AM had weapon in his hand prosecutor would be in danger!
“I would never hurt Maggie Murdaugh. I would never hurt Paul Murdaugh, under any circumstances”. He was shaking his head “yes” the entire time he said those words. Another lie he won’t confess to……
Maybe he wouldn't hurt them but he might kill them. Hurt and kill are very very different things. He should have said, "I would never kill Maggie or Paul (wife and son) ever"
@@MissX905He is going to court! If the law finds him guilty then he is guilty! If the laws finds him innocent well OJ got away with it🤷🏻♂️
Time stamp?
Maybe he didn't want to hurt them by them finding out what he did, so he killed them
@@angelabuchan9872 remember he said on the stand he doesnt like tp be shamed. Paul an Maggie were fixing to witness his shameful downfall....maybe he did it so they wouldnt have to see that???
He didn’t ask if you would ever hurt Maggie and Paul.. he is ask if you murdered Maggie and Paul! Answer the question Alec
Yes as a scamist attorney he knows how to twist questions, had many practice with the victims he frauded
He can’t answer without ducking and weaving.
After listening to jailhouse calls, this guy is a puppet master…even from jail.
He always answers a question with a question.
To save time to think up a lie?
Us: "Alex why do you answer each question with a question?"
Alex: "Why do I answer each question with a question? What do you mean? Like just now? On that specific event that I answered? ... I cannot remember; I couldn't tell you why honestly."
The prosecutor has a tactic of soliciting a specific response from a broad question. When a witness clarifies the meaning of a question it is just as much a sign the examiner is implementing that tactic.
Like at 9:10 …. Creepy murderer trying to deflect the attention back to State … a weird feeling right there
Alex clearly studied the Bill Clinton/Kenneth Starr playbook
The old "I would never" opposed to "I didn't" because its easier to lie. It's true, he never would hurt them because he can't, they're already dead.
When he said that I yelled at the screen and said NO, you didn't hurt them, you killed them!
Notice how he doesn’t use contractions when he lies. He says “I did not…”
This prosecutor is... GOLD!
If the jury doesn't convict this guy I'll be floored
i have a sick feeling they won't. IT only takes one person to ruin it and have be declared a hung jury then start all over again. i think it's insane that they're holding the case in ' his ' county. Either way you look at it it's biased
@@vegandolls exactly, one person and it's all over.
@@vegandolls I agree. He’ll get it for financial crimes but not murder. Not enough proof. There’s always one that doubts if there’s as much circumstantial evidence as there is here.
🙏🙏🙏 for a guilty verdict
Man this prosecutor is really really good at his job.
One thing is for sure - Alex knows the truth.
Good 👉
@@jmc8626 imagine if he sat there and for once in his life told the world EXACTLY what happened - THE TRUTH - that night June 7th. He'd love the attention and book deals and movie rights. Then Buster will have money.
God, this is painful to watch.
But I can’t stop. 😊
As a compulsive liar and professional con man he might LIKE admitting to all the people he defrauded!
That's called duper's delight.
Even if he gets away with it, he will be in prison for the rest of his life.
@jase Do you think they will keep him locked up with all these murderers to house? I mean maybe if federal
he hopes that he can reduce the time. I've heard that he rejected 30 yr plea bargain.
This is the outcome of greed.
I suspect he is trying to avoid state prison. He is hoping to get sent to a 'Club Fed' for the financial crimes.
Yeah at "Club Fed" which is far easier than a state pen or jail. I think that is what he is strategy is - he knows he's going to do life on the 90+ financial crimes.
He defiantly made a good lawyer. What do you do if you enter a room where there is a lion, a bear and a lawyer and you have only two shoots in you gun ? Shoot the Lawyer twice.
@terrywayneHamilton
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's the best comment yet
lmao
The devil has spoken!!! guilty!!!
Notice how he never says ,'they were murdered'. He just always says june 7th
Trying to distance himself from the murders
I said the same thing. I would say the night of the murders.
He is 100% guilty, but for that......I can understand an innocent person using those words......it took a good year to be able to use the word dead after my mom died, and that was from heart problems. Can never imagine being able to use the word murdered. People are different. BUT he is guilty, don't get me wrong!
When you lie as much as he did, you lose track of what, where ,and when you told those lies.
That is such a long list of people he lied to .... 🙈
This is getting very frustrating, the prosecutor keeps rehashing the same thing over over...Get to charge of the murders......
You are absolutely ignorant of how to sway a jury. Patience is a virtue that bears fruit.
You don’t get it. It’s so sad.
But my goodness how much do you have to go on about it..the point is made...
