I think that it's worth noting that the culture in this family was to cover things up. Not just the murder but any time any one of them got in the least amount of trouble, they didn't call the police, they called Alex or his father to initiate a cover-up before the authorities were alerted. I'm bringing this up because Buster was raised to cover for his family so a lot of the patterning about his memory may be instinctual. I mean, it's pretty clear that he's covering stuff up, but at this point it may be second-nature to do so, so it makes me question whether or not Buster actually is aware that he's being really selective about his memory. So that might be why a lot of his red flags reflect a lack of confidence rather than outright deceit.
They were pretty shadey-going back to Great Grandpa. Note how Alex went to the hospital after the boat accident-even flashed a DA badge to get in. Once there he told them all to dummy up.The local cops sseemed OK with this arrangement.
The reason why he may be acting odd talking about the clothes and the shelf they were on and such may be because there was already prior testimony from thw housekeeper about the clothes in the closet/on the shelf and what Alex was wearing. And Buster has been in the courtroom pretty much for the whole trial. And he heard the housekeeper talk about the clothes. So maybe he doesn't want to add to her testimony by saying he doesn't remember.
This family was supposed to be soooo close Buster doesn’t even know his father’s birthdate 🤨🧐
Great show.
EXCELLENT! John Marvin next! ⚖️⚖️⚖️🙏🥰
I feel so sad for Buster. Obviously for Maggie & Paul's loss too. His mom, brotjer & grandpa. And to know your own dad did such an unspeakable thing. I pray he has NO contact w Alex.
He didn't tailgate with his father because he stayed in the hotel from supposed withdrawal symptoms
This is why I find it so weird witnesses were allowed to sit and listen to others testifying. He knew about the t-shirt on the floor from previous witness, Blanca.
victim, immediate relative
I don't know the law in S.C., but I know that victims have rights. Buster is unquestionably a victim in this case, so that's probably why he was allowed to listen to all the testimony. Victims have the right to attend the trial.
@Carrie VanAckeren everyone was allowed to listen to the whole trial. Not just Buster. Very weird
South Carolina..does not let a, " witness " that's scheduled to testify in the court room at all. At least they didn't in the 90's when I was given the choice to either be a witness in a case or be able to observe and sit through a trial. They may have changed that ruling..which is rare.
But remember...these criminals..seemed to make their own rules to suit themselves. 😏
Yeah. That’s generally not allowed. With this trial being televised, there was no way to prevent it. I guess the jury just has to take these biases into account
To me his testimony seemed very guarded & looking for approval from Alex about did I do it right? Did it help you?
I’m sure the pressure to defend his father was immense. I almost feel kind of bad for the guy. He’s from a horrible family and his own dad killed his mom and brother. I can’t imagine how horrible it must be to be a part of that family.
Almost as if he hopes he doesn't say anything that will trigger a hit on him by Alex's flying monkeys.
The Housekeeper Blanca mentioned earlier in the trial that a T-shirt had fallen to the floor in the closet from an overhead shelf. He knew where the questioning was going.
it's one of the only things I truly hated about this courthouse/judge. it seems so odd to have witnesses in the room during other testimony, because they can change theirs based on what they hear. Witnesses shouldnt be influenced by what others testify.
@@harpy2602 What's interesting about witnesses in the courtroom in South Carolina is that the Attorneys (from either side) have to petition the Judge to keep witnesses out of the room until after they testify. None of the Attorneys did so, and that's why we saw them there, listening and then testifying. I thought that it was odd. I asked my friends about it and they explained that it's different from State to State. It wasn't really the Judges fault.🤔
@@camillemayers103 that's such an odd way to structure things. But it seems like a terrible idea to me, as shown my buster's testimony (and the plethora of witnesses who said things like "well, you heard [person] testify.." "as [they] previously testified...."). I didnt know it was set up like that in SC so no, in that case it wasn't Judge Newman's fault
Would it have mattered where witnesses were? The whole trial was televised live right?
@@Mycrazyworld-w7u it definitely could have mattered. in many jurisdictions, the witnesses are barrred from being in the courtroom before testifying or from watching coverage so they don't become tainted.
For example, in the Depp/Heard case, a witness was kicked from the courtroom and her testimony stricken when Judge Azcarote learned they'd seen clips/coverage.
It doesnt matter if the trial is televised, in such jurisdictions, youre instructed not to watch
Sounds like he's not a detail person. Probably just celebrates birthdays when his mom said it was the day and doesn't notice what people wear or what's on the floor, especially when he's in shock. But he remembers where his dad's clothes were because he's been in their room many times. That doesn't seem strange to me.
A LOT of people don’t notice detail. I have trained myself to be very self aware (because I have ADHD so this helps me cope), so I notice most things but now that I’m hyper aware I also recognize how most people live life in tunnel vision. Also, women tend to pick up on their environment far better than men because we have brains that are meant to multi task whereas men hyper focus on ONE thing at a time. Literally different brains between men and women.
Agree, especially as a man. Men just focus on different things and those details aren’t always important to them. Packing doesn’t take intimacy, just a knowledge of the weather or what someone will need. You can easily find things, especially in the home of a family with housekeepers. Very clean & likely not much junk to sort.
@@allisonmoore2928 kind of sick that men wouldn’t consider it important to know their own family members birthdays. It’s literally 3 people. I really don’t want to believe that’s an innate aspect, I’d hope it’s more to do with how they’ve been raised.
@@Bjorksbackyard it’s not just men, all genders forget things, it’s no big deal. Men have got more important things to think about, like feeding his family!!
The Murdaugh men have the beadiest eyes I’ve ever seen.
And the datkest?
Between Logan, the Behavioral Panel, and Spidey, you’ve all reenforced the tools I’ve been using most of my life. I’ve gained a whole lot of confidence! Thank you! 😊😊😊
And isn't it odd how Buster's whole demeanor changes while talking about his gpa dying. He seems more upset about gpa than his mom and brother. I just think this whole family is sus as hell and used to breaking laws then covering up
When he was pulling on his ear, while looking over at his dad, it reminded me of baseball sign language, like it was some kind of code for something. He looked a little scared when doing that. I saw fear.
Me too
Buster looks drugged to me.
I feel like Buster is hiding things. I will say this, Buster was in court the entire trial and knew what he needed to say to help his father
Alex looks pissed off during some of it. The way he starts chewing on something, like his bottom jaw tightens and he looks angry. Then again, I grew up watching for minor changes in a parent’s facial expressions haha
Buster seemed very coached, but then most deponents and witnesses are. My main take away from his testimony was that I just find it so strange that in a supposedly close family, a 26 year old man doesn't know his father's birthday. That's just so weird!
It’s not weird..it’s normal. I forget my husbands birthday sometimes, until I’m reminded. It doesn’t mean anything.
My father and brother didn't ever know my birthdate. It depends on whether they care or not.
Idc what some may say, but for family members, especially self proclaimed “close families”, a son doesn’t know his own father’s birthday?! It is weird as hell!! Him being the oldest son, and with Alex being left as the overseer and POA of his dad, when Alex tried to rush and put him in charge of the property. Wouldn’t you think that Buster would’ve at some point in time, seen his dad’s DOB on that paperwork?! Yet, now he didn’t remember it?! That’s foul as caca!
Plot twist: Buster is addicted to oxy, hence the constant touching of his face. I noted during trial that he constantly scratches his face, forehead & scalp. Classic opiate addict behavior.
I was thinking about that too
Interesting. I'm naturally a face picker (pre opioid addiction) I don't notice it's worse for me post/present addiction. I find it's far worse when I'm detoxing.
Opiates will make you itchy in high doses, for sure.
@@9babyblu Buster seemed particularly "itchy" while sitting in the courtroom whenever the camera panned over to him. Constantly scratching his face, neck & scalp. I could be way off base, it could be a tic of some sort. I'll just say that during my seven yr opiate addiction stint, I was constantly scratching my face, head, neck & arms. I couldn't stop! I've been in recovery for 18 yrs (thankfully) but I remember that feeling all too well. I hope you're doing ok 💜
@@blendofdays I've been on them since 2007/08.
It's ridiculous how many I take a day. My Q, when you quit/stopped, how did you get emotionally over it? My mood is so damn low (not depression low just energy and the feel of rage and not wanting to do anything.) I'm in trauma counselling and I take mood disorder medication. I'm trying to tap into the skills I learned when I was in a youth house at 15 but phuk... this shit is hard. I want to get to a point where I don't need to be medicated just to go out of my house. Full disclosure, I have Ankylosing Spondylitis (bone fusing disease) and I am always in different levels of pain. It's exhausting being me. 😆 🤣
Congrats on your clean time! I had a few back to back years from 16 to 19yrs old. (At 19 I drank and was fine, it's not my cup of tea but I will not claim clean time as alcohol is still a drug)
I consider the last 2/3yrs of my prescription usage as breaking my clean time.
The FBI should interrogate Buster....He knows about his father's other murders.
And these.
It's entirely possible that "I couldn't remember" is just a colloquialism from the region. I saw a Behavior Panel video where they interviewed a guy whose daughter went missing, and the guy kept saying that she "got gone"; turned out to just be a colloquial way of saying she disappeared. I think something similar might be going on here, but I'd have to know a bit more about the region as well as Buster's baseline. I do know that I've personally heard the phrase 'I couldn't tell ya' before in situations where the person legitimately had no way of knowing the requested information, so that's what spurs my inkling that it could be colloquialism.
It's also what lawyers advice people to say about things they don't want them to give details on. " I can't recall, I don't remember, I'm not sure."
I think he was about to say “I couldn’t tell ya” because that’s a common phrase in some parts of the country. Just hearing him and his family speak, it really seems like something he would say. Not really sure why he seemed to change his mind halfway through the sentence though
I was pondering the same. I figured it's how it iss said in that region.
In documentary about the boat case Connor said that AM told him to say “I don’t know” if anyone asks you something. So it’s coached lawyer speak to not answer something.
It's a pretty common phrasing in the South. "I wouldn't know" or "I couldn't say", etc.
The reason he asked about where the shirt was and if one fell is because the housekeeper said she found a shirt that had fallen off of that shelf. They were trying to imply that Buster may have made something fall instead of his dad after changing after the crime. And Buster had been in the audience the entire time so he saw her testify about this instance.
I believe Buster did it and his dad covered for him thus further implicating himself
Thank you so much for this. I've been confused about the shirt questioning. I haven't been able to follow the trial closely. ❤
@@epiphanyperry1877 I still think the father did the crime itself but buster knew and was complicit. He’d benefit from the crimes anyway, since it was meant to prevent their financial ruin
@@Bjorksbackyard hmm. Interesting
@@Bjorksbackyard Paul plainly says Buster on the kennel video that says it all to me. It's not hard to figure out except it's hard to wrap your brain around how disconnected they are. Buster may be worse than his Father except that this is surely a wake up call for him. I hope. Roadside was Buster's benefit as well.
I actually think Buster is involved with the murders and Alex took all the blame for him.
yeah 'we were close knit family, perfect, really loved and cared for each other lots' doesn't remember his father's birthday...ok Buster, whatever you say. Really tho...if a family is as close as they claim their was then people tend to remember birthdays...
No! Most men don’t remember exact birthdates…my brothers don’t!! I have 07 brothers and we’re all very close knit family; they remember the month but not the exact date…we the sisters always remind them and one of our sisters knows all birthdays n the family! Nothing odd about Buster not knowing his Dad’s birth date! His mom
(Maggie) was the one who reminded the boys, like all mothers do!
I'm thinking Buster and John Mark helped him get rid of the guns and missing clothes.
I also feel like John Marvin & or Randy know more than they claim. Between all the shadiness between Gloria, Stephen, then Maggie & Paul- one of them knows something somewhere.
Mr. Murdaugh (grandad) was said to be able to make people and things disappear… makes you wonder about how Randy, JM, & Alex grew up.
I think that witness box is very uncomfortable and very small. None of the witnesses look like they fit comfortably in that box.
It’s interesting that he knows when the regional baseball game is but not Alec’s birthday
I find it utterly bizarre that he doesn't remember the date of his dads birthday.
Does anyone know why someone named Richard goes by "Alec"????
@@LauraRabbit Who knows... they are/were an odd family.
I just imagined him introducing himself like, "My name is Richard, but you can call me Alec for short." 😅
@@LauraRabbits middle name is Alexander - Richard Alexander Murdaugh - so Alex for short. It still confuses me how and why some ppl say Alec and some say Alex; some say Murdock and some say Murdaugh; but I believe it's Alex and Murdaugh (no "k" sound at the end). That's just how I heard the man himself pronounce it (but then again he's a proven liar, so who knows lol). Also creeps me out how the first 4 letters of his last name starts to spell "murder". 😬
Thank you for “reading” buster. None of the other body language you tubers will touch it because he’s “mourning” for his mother and brother. However he might as well have been describing what he had for breakfast. His aunt, the family maid and his grandmothers nurse showed emotion when speaking of the victims but not an iota of emotion from him. He’s just like his father.
Hadn't realised Maggie's and Paul's funeral were on a Sat. Then the grandfather's, the following day. Buster showed zero emotion (in this clip) re. recollecting his GrandDad's funeral too. Never said 'It was traumatic having 3 of my family die in as many day's'. Just detached and emotionless - like his Dad.
I also noticed when he was asked what he did when he was told they had been murdered, he never answered, he just went into how his girlfriend started packing bags. I thought that was weird.
As an adult child of a narcissist, I can testify you learn to keep your emotions in check around them. It makes you way too vulnerable. You just can't imagine unless you have lived it. You know you're expendable. Imagine how expendable Buster knows he is even with his father in prison.
Just to be fair, it’s not possible to read emotions based on what someone appears like in one situation. The dude broke down like a baby at the end of the trial when all of his emotions came to a head. Any GOOD body language expert would say the exact same. That’s why figuring out their baseline is important and even then, baseline only goes so far when talking about GRIEF- which doesn’t involve much baseline at all. As Emily D Baker says- it’s not how they grieve but how their mannerisms change from one moment to the next that matters (Alec frequently went from being very emotional to NADA upon a slight distraction occurring or a new question pending. It’s the INCONSISTENCY that shows deceit. So Buster not being emotional on the stand means ZILCH. Especially since he may be going through his numb phase at this time, which happens to many in the stages of grief. If you’re going to follow body language experts, I’d expect you to know the basics before being so judgmental. The other RUclipsrs who won’t touch this right now are allowed to choose that. Your comment comes off as very entitled like they owe it to YOU to cover this person. They don’t.
Detachment is a human DEFENSE mechanism. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel emotion underneath all the walls he’s created to protect his psyche. Hence why he bawled his eyes out at the END of the trial when it became too much. @@humphreyferguson9748
23:55 how he looks quickly at his dad during times like this is just suspicious to me
I found Buster's testimony very weird during the trial. I don't know why perse, but didn't seem right. I appreciate your observations.
Me too! I saw it live and now rewatched his testimony was “😳🤔🧐🤔🙄🤔🤨???🤦♀️” a lot of what you mentioned I agree.
Only one thing makes any statement after null. He testified that was not his father's voice on the Snapchat video. His dad said it was him. He's a liar just like his Dad
A definite learned behavior imo. I grew up in a home where we were taught to keep secrets.... I eventually got away and had to adjust the entire trajectory of my brain to function in society.....
@🐰Laura Rabbit🐰 same. When you're taught from birth it takes deliberate reprogramming.
I’ve listened to his whole testimony trying to find the part where they asked if that was Alex voice on the video and I never heard it, do you know about when he is asked about the kennel video?
Buster did NOT testify about the recording because neither the defense nor the prosecutor asked Buster if he recognized the voice. My guess is that the prosecutor didn't know if he'd lie and the defense didn't want him to perjure himself.
@@brenandbruiser9885 You are correct. Buster was not asked about the recording.
I think buster was told what to say....just like Alex told his mother's care giver and others what to say. Buster probably doesn't know the details but does what he's told because that's the way it's been.
Don't mind me, just dancing to that catchy intro at the start.
every time :))
The only one i don't skip.
Why does he ALWAYS say “my girlfriend Brooklyn” and never refers to her just by her name?!?!
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! They had more money then common sense, I see.
Some people are so poor, all they have is money!
@@LauraRabbit Yes that's called the haves and the have nots. Watch TV much?🤣
How do u not know your parents birthdays?
I have a lot of brothers and they don’t remember birthdays. My sister and I know the Birthdays of ALL the members of the family. I think it is a female versus male trait.
for some reason the only birthday beside my own is my little sister no clur about older siblings ( well some a rough estimate) mom no idea dad either :D im male obviously
Nah I don't remember anyone's birthday and I am a woman so idk. I get yelled at for forgetting my mum's all the time
@@Biancaleigh693 Aww, Bianca, you forget your Mom’s BD , I bet she never forgets yours. To tell you the truth, I leave hints for my hubby and daughter when my BD is coming up. LOL I just I don’t think you can judge Buster for forgetting his Dads BD.
AM WANTED as MANY people there as possible to manipulate the crime scene!!! 💯. Who calls THAT MANY people, that FAST when your wife and son are murdered. 🙄🤡🤬
The RAMSEY'S!! Both cases intended to contaminate the crime scene or they didn't want to be interrogated alone.
Makes sure everyone came to see what he had done and had them look at it.... Total freaking psycho.... It's time to have get together at the Mozelle home but not stay there but move Blanka in 🤷 crazy town!!!! All except Buster 🤔😉
You don’t need “observe” to know that BUSTER is an entitled at least but probably criminally involved in……you fill in the blank.
Yes. I believe that as well. Maybe he's just an entitled as the rest of the family. And I think he is genuinely grieving on some level. Everyone reacts differently when it comes to grief and motions so I call reading body language BS to some extent. You got to follow the evidence and it points to the right man. People need to stop accusing Buster of anything till there is actually evidence of it. Regards to his conection to Stephen Smith its all hearsay. Now they're saying another Murdaigh was actually involved, Paul. It's just that hearsay. I'm not defending him or his brother. Paul didn't deserve to be murdered, neither did Maggie even if they were horrible people. There is a difference between horrible people and murderers. Yes, Paul should have faced consequences for Mallory but not dying at the hands of his father was not one of them. He had a chance to be tried and maybe had a chance to change. He was still young. Alex is just evil.
It's interesting to see when the things I've noticed are picked up and explained through your review.
As always, your breakdown is interesting 😊
Ps loving the shirt today
Alex had given busters the power of attorney to deal with all his asset and properties including the Edisto Beach property Which is now on the market for $920,000. All will go into busters account.
I think buster killed Paul after Paul was overheard telling someone about the Steven Smith murder and his brothers involvement. This is a father paying for his sins and trying to somehow salvage a life for buster still, his life was already over knowing about all the financial crimes he'd committed and was going to be in trouble for
Dad took a shower at the kennels. He's used to it.
To me Buster at times looks sad and tired . I just can fathom what he's been going through .
i mean he's not a very good person so his conscious is pretty guilty free probably
@@GriffinDuyThespian he may not be a good person to others, he may have even agreed with his father’s actions to “save” the two of them from financial ruin, but he’s still going to feel some regret that it’s happening. He can still love his family even if he believed he’d benefit from their deaths.
looks very sad and tired agreed
Gee, I guess Buster can't help but feel like THE FAVORITE! 😄
Since he's breathing. Yeah. One could gather that.
If he had been their, at that moment he would of probably gone the same way
I don't believe Alex was always within sight of Buster for 10 days or so after the murders. If Greenfield house is only a couple of minutes drive from the Almeida house, Alex could have gone to Almeida while Buster and Brooklyn were sleeping to recover the clothing and long arms, and put them somewhere else. Or, at some point Alex was driving Maggie's alone and Almeida had not been searched yet. Lots of time to dispose of the murder weapons.
I agree thought it was kind of ridiculous they brought this up. Alex had all night at alameda to hide the evidence. He took them there because he knew investigators are not going to search the solicitors home without probable cause.
Not knowing your own parent’s birthday sounds SO odd to me. Unless you’re like bad with dates in general I guess, I just can’t imagine...
One of my sisters is really bad at dates. She has a general idea of when people’s birthdays are, but struggles to remember exact dates. She’s a very caring and wonderful person and it isn’t personal. Everyone’s brain works differently.
@@venomousspecifics45 Yeah that’s why I added that in there, if you’re just not good at that stuff then it’s one thing. I’m neurodivergent myself so definitely not trying to judge people in general lol. I think it’s mostly the mountain of strange things about this family that already exists that makes me squint my eyes at it
I still don’t remember my uncle and aunt’s birthday, but that’s because my dad was very abusive and kept everyone at arm’s length. But that’s a weird relationship if he can’t remember that information. Unless he’s under incredible stress, which is understandable.
@@ixizn I agree with you. I’m simply providing an example of a person who can’t remember birthdays. I don’t think it’s an important or meaningful detail. As you mentioned there are many other strange details that are significantly more important and suspicious.
I know a few people who don't remember their parents exact birthdays for a number of reasons. Some are bad with dates, some just have parents who don't acknowledge their birthdays much.
I have a hard time remembering my mom's exact birthday because I'm not that close with her.
Buster glanced over very quickly to his dad when he said what time he got to the house…. I see a lot of deception in his replies. He’s been coached & glances over to his dad when he’s affirming he’s following ‘the story’
It strikes me extremely weird that they stayed at one house, then took their stuff and showered at the murder house. Why? It defies logic to not shower in the house you're at, but rather to pack your showering things and shower at the house on the property where your family was brutally murdered.
It’s beyond bizarre!
But the housekeeper moves in ????? It's all just sooooo shady!!!!!
But Dad wants him to hunt there lol. Weird weird weird
None of the men in my life ever know anyone’s birthday.
In my family all men know all birthdays. Alex knew the birthdays of his sons.
My girlfriend, Brooklyn
Brooklyn, my girlfriend. I have a girlfriend named Brooklyn. I was with Brooklyn, my girlfriend.
😂😂😂😂
It's one of the few times when Alex is chewing something. I recall throughout his entire testimony that Buster has the tongue in his cheek a lot. He also was emotionless, unlike his uncle, John Marvin who cried almost throughout. I don't believe Buster. Something's very off with him. And, almost no emotion when he's in the audience, either (ie mostly deadpanface. Anyway, good job. Please continue studying his testimony. Thanks!
Why did Alex murder Maggie & Paul but leave buster alive?
Because he didn't want a ghost buster around. Besides, when you're in prison & bored, who you gonna call?
Gallows humor. I know, I'm awful.
Golden Child
Per The Interview Room yesterday, AM is an illumination murderer. He didn't have a reason to illiminate Buster, apparently and imo buster is the golden, first born, preferred child..
Maggie would’ve been the one in the family who remembered the birthdays…just going by how she was described as a very family-centred and involved mother and wife.
it doesn't matter how close you are with your parents - but it's a major scumbag move if you don't remember their birthdays. huge red flag within many.
@@GriffinDuyThespian I don’t even know how they’d possibly forget…they all lived together. Next level selfishness I guess.
Buster is annoyed at the questions. He is above it all, like his daddy.
He does @ times come across like that during his testimony
I couldn’t remember. Feels more like the typical southern „“I couldn’t tell ya“ but corrected because - tell ya - wouldn’t feel right in court esp. for a former law student
I really don’t get the lack of emotion with Buster…. Not even a wavering in his voice
Buster has eczema which often flares with anxiety so that may be why he is scratching at his ears and eyebrows
Buster, having lost his brother & mother & testifying - with his dad as the murder defendant - is very difficult to read. Probably due to the array of mixed feelings he's dealing with.
Yah
Most would show more "feelings" than he did over trauma pics of someone they didn't even know ! This dude would've made a great SS officer at Auschwitz had he been born 78-years earlier.
He’s been coached by dad
His heart has been crushed . He is trying and that is all he can do . Mother , brother , grandfather much pain . How would anyone deal with that ??? With a monster looking at you the whole time .
Buster was able to sit in on all the witness testimony so he knew where the t-shirt questioning was going.
Buster murdaugh is a walking red 🚩 imo
That part right there..
This whole family is a plague
Well I know several ppl with ptsd who are medicated and act very similar to to Buster
In the beginning they had only brought up a photo of him and his parents from memorial day/Alex's bday cook out. That event had 0 to do with the boating accident as you had mentioned.
Side note: am I the only one who found it super strange that they portrayed them to all be so "close knit" but Buster doesnt even know when his dad's birthday is?
Buster is guilty of something. He definitely knows more.
Just because he knows more don’t make him guilty
I recently reviewed the literature on non verbal indicators of deceit and lying in current Psychology Journals. The overwhelming number of studies concluded that non verbal indicators of deception, including microexpressions, have very low validity and reliability. In layman's terms misreading cues and false accusations are very likely. Also noted was nervousness, tension, discomfort, etc may be identified and incorrectly labeled deceit, manipulation, lying.
Right, that's why all of these body language analysis channels -- ALL of which are done post hoc -- are click bait nonsense.
@@remycallieI agree and yet I still watch. I don’t believe in ghosts but
occasionally watch a ghost hunt.
I wonder what that says about me psychologically.
@@Du-Masses I’m the same. I also don’t believe in ghosts, and yet I’m scared of them being in the dark. To me, it’s a form of curiousness. I question reality a lot, and I don’t really have many firm believes of what is real or not. This makes me really curious about many things, and what if’s are very interesting to me as well. I’m curious about other people’s view of the world.
@@Du-Masses That you like to be entertained? I do too, but I would be uncomfortable watching a magician like David Copperfield or Penn and Teller if they were promoting to their audience that what they were doing was real and the audience was buying it.
And Logan qualifies that in his analysis all the time....
Hey I spotted the first sign of inner secrets between buster and his dad. The dad and buster have secrets between them. I feel Buster's behavior at 12:50 starts to shift. In my experience, when you are trying not to make eye contact and then you make direct eye contact for a moment, that's a sign, he's looking for indications, ques and such. After watching this and the original trial live, Buster has many family secrets, he just didn't know which would come out, nor did Alex.
The oldest child normally knows the parents on the most deepest levels. More than anyone else because the first child you have is the one you make all the big mistakes with.
Buster's probably better at lies than we realize. More is there and I bet even other murders we don't know about.. hell, if they are so comfortable on that ranch, who's to say bodies aren't on the property.. evidence even, from cases years ago. The reason this even started was because they kept getting away with it until murder.. and then one murder after another. People keep doing these crimes until they are caught. They always get caught.
Great show!
Check the grandparents properties 😂 the family’s been in politics so long, who knows what they’ve been up to
He's cracking under pressure. Maybe it's a good thing he's not an attorney after all
Buster doesn’t look too upset.
He looks like he's trying not to burst into a huge smile while jumping and clapping like wtf
Selective memory runs in this family…….
It’s real life Dynasty. He knows.
@10:18. I'm confused. .... Buster arrives. He says he gives his dad hugs. His dad is destroyed. ..... But then you jump to Buster not telling the truth here because Alex was found guilty. Here's why I am confused. Even if Alex did the killings he can be broken up either because 1) it was traumatic to do and see, 2)he really misses them. Killing them does not mean that he doesn't miss them. or 3) Buster may still believe his father is innocent.
... Even still how do we make that leap. I am confused.
Alex is so used to being subtly controlling of Buster (and others).
(It showed in many of the prison calls as well).
It is strange, I can't tell Buster's real feelings (when Alex is trying to control him). Sometimes on the calls, especially, I think Buster is just "unemotional" to keep up boundaries, he needs, when dealing with a "super narcissist" like his dad.
Then, other times, I think he is totally oblivious to the control tactics of Alex.
There were so many prison calls where Alex is "sweet talking them," then asks for things, like money or favors...
It is "addict behavior", surely.
So, if Buster has had a lifetime of shielding himself from, "the addict" who was Alex, it would serve that Buster (and Maggie and Paul) would all have "learned" not to react, not to feed into his lies, not to believe half of what he's even saying. It must have been exhausting! Just thinking, it might explain why he's always so "unemotional." He learned to under-react at home.
Seperatly, you point out Alex's "reaction" to Buster, not recalling his DOB. Kinda sad or something.
To me, that is especially rich since on the night of the murders, when asked by law enforcement for DOBs for IDing the slain; Alex recited Maggie's DOB but then drew a complete blank when trying to recall his younger son Paul's DOB. Even pausing to say, "How ya doing" to someone, randomly arriving at the murder scene.
Then, Alex, still struggling to recall Paul's birthdate ... needed to recite Buster's DOB--to recall Paul's DOB. (I think they are each in April, but I'm not sure.) Maybe that's normal, and I'm judging.
It's a moot point for sure, but I think it is just one more little clue that Alex is the one who had the most rage/anger towards Paul (and Maggie, for other reasons).
It's too sad that it took for Mallory Beach, Maggie, and Paul Murdaugh to be killed to bring Alex Murdaugh to justice.
A narcist .loves to control
Alex is constantly calling Buster and other relatives since he was sentenced, telling them what to do, what he needs, etc. I personally think Buster is sick of his dad. If I was him, I’d change my name and go live a better life. Fits News RUclips and Murdaugh Murders Podcast RUclips has great info on this case. The Murdaugh’s have controlled that area for a 100 years. Lots of corruption!
And Gloria Satterfield,
He said he couldn't remember...but meant to say I couldn't tell you. I think you're reading too much into stuff. A lot of men won't remember a parent's birthday. Even my husband has to ask me each time before filling out a form. He knows the approximate date but it's been 20 yrs. A lot of the expressions and words are old masculine ones. Of course Buster is agitated..
He's on the stand in front of everyone. That's stressful.
Are witnesses normally allowed to hear the other witnesses being questioned? It seems very odd.
At the 21:05 mark, Buster looks at his father and his father nods as he mentions his father was probably wearing t-shirts n shorts he packed for him. Looks like approval, to me.
Yup, I saw that too and had same thought when I first watched it…hence why I rewatched it! Then, now watching this totally makes me realize 😮omg he is fibbing
Logan!! My dude you are awesome at what you do!
Thank you for being here 😅💛
He is leaning forward and to the side to talk into the mic maybe that’s why towards the end he’s getting a lil bc his his posture is causing discomfort. Like obviously he’s lying about some stuff bc he’s guilty but I wonder if those things play into the accuracy of a read.
I’m a little confused. I personally don’t think Alex told Buster that he killed his mother and Brother. You mentioned that maybe Alex told him what to say on the stand but I don’t think that was possible because all of the phone calls are recorded from the jail.
I don’t think there would be any way to tell him what to say on the stand. Don’t get me wrong, I do think Buster is not a good person at all but I truly don’t think he’s involved or covering for his dad. I think that in his mind his dad didn’t do it so of course he’s going to try to help him. He already lost his mom and his brother, so he’s also a victim of his greedy, lying dad. So sad.
In Germany witnesses are not allowed to sit in the court room while others are testifying. They are only ever allowed to enter the court room to testify themselves and have to leave after. It is a way more thought through system in my opinion, so people don't confuse memories of others as their own or even willingly use information of others to change up their stories.
Normally also in american courts. This is strange
Your content is top-notch!
Man I think it's weird buster had a gf!
Imo she is a paid fake girlfriend, so busters fling with men isn't exposed.
Interesting. Did you notice that Buster used the same body position that Tinsley used to make a non-verbal sitting position seem that he was very powerful? That position was left hand on knee, leaning forward. He must have noticed in when Tinsley was testifying..wow.
I'm not sure if he was copying Tinsley or it was just the setup. Quite a few witnesses had trouble with that chair/mic combo. I think he sat like that to be close to the microphone
I find it odd as hell that he doesn’t know his father’s birthday. I find Buster rather repugnant as a person.
The entire family is/was repulsive.
Right but he knows when Memorial Day is.... 😂
Most men don’t remember birthdays. Means nothing
Are you sure Buster‘s not popping pills too?? That makes people face itch sometimes 🤷🏼♀️ that’s what I’ve heard
If I were buster I’d also say I couldn’t remember. And this is coming from an English major. My reasoning is, his brother and mother were just murdered… how COULD someone remember something so trivial.
I’m curious if it is how you explain this or if it’s just dialect. I live near this area and I’ve heard people recollect by using the same phrasing.
Yeah we can tell it is from an English major, it is a garbage response.
My husband died young and very suddenly. Years later I remember every detail about that day, every word which was spoken, every person I saw, every thought I had... everything.
I found the kid weird the whole trial, and cannot imagine not knowing your own father's birthday.
Is it possible that Buster, in trying to help his dad pack, dropped a shirt on the closet floor and didn't notice it? I feel like you're trying to put meaning into things that just happened by accident, or in a state of anxiety, nothing more. I don't see anything suspicious in Buster's behavior. Maybe he's looking at his dad knowing that what he says is going to hurt him more.
I agree with you...
Wow you’ll be at a million subs before you know it! And that’s well~deserved by the way ❤. Also, I love how you’ve kept your background. I see something different every time lol and don’t lose that kicky intro PLEASE lol ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kindness!! Appreciate you being here!
important thing to remember, buster was in court almost everyday of the trial. I think some of the facial reactions might be colored by the things the prosecution has said and what other witnesses have said (particularly about the clothing thing). not sure how that would play into this analysis specifically but i think it's an important factor.
Sorry but the boys is cold, there’s in no way he’s in shook, these happened almost 2 years ago
Thank you Logan. I have autism and you’ve helped me. I appreciate whatever you do.
Interesting how you went right to when Buster was packing clothes for his father but can't remember what Alex's birthday is. You didn't hesitate saying that not knowing the father's birthday doesn't make sense but they are close enough to pack clothes for him, I absolutely agree with your assessment on putting the two things together.
Oh c'mon.
I adored my parents, would do anything for them, but always needed to be reminded when their birthdays were …that’s normal!!
I'm not sure how much grief you really have while your chewing gum😂
First of all… I have been stuck on the birthday video ever since the trial…. Alex blows out the candles BEFORE they finish the song…. 🧐
Second… how does Buster not know his fathers birthday!? 🧐
I’m just going to go out on a limb and assume that literally everyone there was drunk.
@@ColdCreekB lmaooooo yup
Really enjoy watching your videos!
How Alex clothes were stored was important to cover because Blanca had given a very detail report as to his closet storage.
Who the hell doesn’t know there parents birthday!! 😮😮 these folks where out of it!! 😮😳😳
