  • South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh was charged with murder Thursday in the deaths of his wife and younger son, who were fatally shot outside their home more than a year ago. Murdaugh faces dozens of criminal charges that have piled up in the months since his wife and their 22-year-old son, were killed. Nikki Battiste has more.

    In my opinion this is what happens when one family holds an office for over 100 years, They think they are above the law and can get away with anything.

      My family has the firm since 1880 and we (multi Millionaires) are a caring loving family. We are very mean, and dont give a penny to charity or anything. We call it thrift.
      If some homeless bum calls to the door the maid is instructed to set the (Dobermann) dogs on him. This has happened a few times and we watch from the bay window.
      It is sooooo funny.🤣 Geeze, can those homeless bums move fast!😳😂😂

      @r.williamcomm7693 Год назад +11

      The Murdaughs have always had money. But the father knew that when all of his ill gotten gains were taken from him that the son would have next to nothing. It’s hard to be poor in this world but as you can imagine, it’s also hard to have come from a wealthy family where all the wealth disappeared & then leaving the son to try to make his way through life. Having the life insurance proceeds could’ve helped him at least a little.

I realize Alex has been inducted for both murders but regarding the two guns at Moselle…could Paul have possibly had one of the guns? There has been talk that he had no regard for anyone and that he could have possibly pushed Gloria, the housekeeper, down the stairs. Could he have shot his mom?
