Watching Ashleigh’s guest, I just keep thinking how I’ve never seen anyone wear their glasses in such a way that the upper part of the frame is nearly blocking their vision. That is so weird looking.
😂😂😂😂 It is weird!!!
lol
@Jeff Smith bruh 💀 TRUE 😂😂😂
It’s her prescription. It’s so strong that from the outside it distorts her facial features and eyes.
😂😂😂
I find it odd that there were no video cameras on the property considering the wealth of this family. Didn't Alex say they had received threats after the boat accident? All the more reason to have some security cameras, lights etc. Things don't add up. Also Alex claimed to be "detoxing" at the hotel the day before the murders but said he had pills in his pocket while being interviewed by police after the murders. I say guilty!
Doesn't add up cause they were doing illegal shit all the time which explains the cameras
@@ZeroFcksGven yep
What wealth? Always broke
I totally agree with Lillian.
I also think that Buster despises his father, and doesn't CARE when his father's birthday is!
Those boys were both raised to be selfish, entitled boys, so I am not surprised that he didn't know the birthdate. It clearly bothered Alex to find this out.
I thought that was hilarious!!
Well said ...and. Seriously what an awwwful family.
@DJ it's been claimed that they are all so close. I can understand not knowing my uncles birthdate but for sure I know my dad's.
I know my parents birthday now at my forties but at my twenties I didn't know the day of the month for sure! Still now I am never sure theirs year of birth! I always been extremely closed to my parents, so I do not find it strange!
@Kathy S Alex isn't a free man. He has been in jail for over a year now. He does talk to Buster on the phone, most likely everyday. I think Buster very much wants to believe his father is innocent but especially after the last 2 days with Alex on the stand he may be questioning himself.
When Buster testified, he said over and over “ my girlfriend Brooklyn”. Like now many times did he have to mention that he has a girlfriend? I think it’s to throw off the investigation about Buster’s supposed relationship with Stephen Smith who’s death hasn’t officially been solved.
💯
I noticed it to, and Buster wanted to make sure no one thinks he is gay (he is) was ABSOLUTELY my first thought too!
His girlfriend Brooklyn is also a lawyer. Buster has a gambling and substance addiction. He was expelled from law school, which cost daddy a lot of money for readdmittance. Smith was a classmate turned lover. Buster is a pompous entitled punk. Chew on this, Busted Buster 🖕.
In the taped calls, AM -Bus, talking about Gloria and Steven. Says our family had nothing to do with Steven Smith, Buster, I could have told you that but no one listens to me 🥴
Maybe that will be the next indictment.
Yep, Overcompensating.
If the cops find out he has something to do with Stephen Smith’s death, he will be joining Alex In prison.
🧑🦰=👮♂️🚓🚔
if the cops find whoever had something to do with it - they will be in prison. why is their such hate-- i want justice-- I don't know these people I don't see the evil you see in everything someone did evil-but you have no NONE proof Buster killed Smith
He probably does🥺
As much as Stephen deserves justice, I don't think it's going to happen. I think once Alex is wrapped up nice and tidy in his cell, this case will go away.... unless maybe Alex will take the blame for Buster and say he did it. He might do that to try to save his son since he will be in jail for the rest of his life anyway ( if the DP was off the table as a punishment).
@@annsmith3192 Stephen’s case was re-opened after Paul and Maggie died because they found something on the Moselle property. There had been rumors that Buster and Paul had something to do with his death. This is not about hate. It’s about finding justice.
I can't hardly believe he didn't even shed a tear talking about receiving that phone call.
There's something wrong there.
Did you listen to his voice at times..he came close to crying..some men can't cry in front of people..me in the other hand would loose it..
@Greg Mccarter actually, thinking about talking about something lije that, is almost harder than actually doing it.
This is trauma. This is how many victims respond. I know this well. My only two children were killed.
All the Murdaughs have that glazed over look about them….😳
@@UhearGAso sorry for your loss
Idk why I think buster knows more than what he is telling
Going back ... there is another murder that happened to a young gay man (last name Smith) in the same town who was found dead on the side of the road. Rumor goes that he 'dated' Buster. People die all around this family. As they go over in court, the murdered son was drunk driving a boat that crashed and killed a young woman from town. And on top of all this, the Murdauchs had a housekeeper who fell down the stairs in their home and died.
I agree , maybe he's involved but being protected...where's the emotion !
I agree. I don't think he is squeaky clean at all
Of course he does
I had a very fleeting thought that he may be an accomplice, perhaps unwillingly. He is just too deadpan. I do believe Alex did it but he had to have an accomplice.
I took from this this son was his pride and joy ...the other son and wife were disposable. I heard she was separated and started going through a finance discovery . The other son seemed a mess...the boat accident wasn't going away.
Your statement of "I heard" is not proof. It's here say. Would that hold up as evidence? no.
You are probably right but we will never get the truth from Alex .
Alex called Buster from jail constantly. He put tremendous pressure on His son. Listening to those calls was agonising. Alex was always asking Buster to go back to studying law. Buster always sounded so down.
I listened to those calls you are correct. He tried to make Buster go to Moselle to go hunting after the murders. Buster sounded disgusted and didn't want to go. He sounded incredulous that Alec wanted him to do that.
@@cmccloud38 Exactly.
first, how sick is this for personal calls between a father and his son to be made public. you should be ashamed of yourselves.
second, who else would one call but one's only remaining relative. WOULD YOU NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT YOU SON'S FUTURE.
you are all blind with hatred.
the murdaughs bring out the worst in all of you guys - makes one wonder what's WRONG IN YOUR LIVES...
@geebee Alex most certainly did not put poor Buster first when Alex decided to MURDER Maggie and Paul.
@@geebee3100 Also, the jailhouse phone calls were from Alex to Buster, which is documented and available for the public to see.
But Buster doesn't answer the question about what was his reaction, he talks about Brooklynn.
He said he sat there in shock
He knew his grandfather was going into hospice and probably expected to be told 'Handsome is dead'. Instead he gets the most shocking news of his life. How do you describe that? I'm still waiting for us to find out WHEN exactly Alex told what was left of his family about what had happened that day at work. Pretty sure it wasn't a topic of the dinner conversation that evening, or it wouldn't have been a quickie dinner. 'Hey Babe, my CFO told me today at the firm that they found out $770,000 was missing that I stole and I'm probably going to lose my job, my law license and go to jail. Let's go down to the dog kennels and let the chickens out so Bubba can play with them...'
@@rachellefebres4183 Buster's first response though was regarding what his gf did. Then he volunteered he had been in shock.
yes he does. he said he was in shock -- he's not a robot.
@@signalfire6691 buster was not living at home-- he was at his girlfriends house 2 hours away-- he called and told him on the phone
I watched it three times. I just don’t see a tear roll down AM’s cheek. I see him wipe it but I just don’t see any tears.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO same darling same.
There’s a tear…watch again. Tear or no tear…I believe he did it
there is no significance in that.
Damn y’all need some glasses. Lol
I saw the tear…. But do not like him 😡
I’ve heard tapes of Alex talking to Buster from jail. Every conversation was about Alex. He spent the whole time asking for things from Buster. It was “do this, call so and so …”. Alex never once asked how Buster was doing. He was trying to manipulate Buster and would be frustrated if Buster didn’t follow through.
Yes, but also Buster seems like a real chip of the old block, and like a sociopath. He was absolutely complicit in some of not all the Murdock shenanigans. He was his father's right hand man, and those same prison audio tapes prove it.
@@eileenprice3593 And the kid he seems to have murdered. The theory is that Buster is gay and the truth about his sexuality was about to come out. So he killed his boyfriend.
The tapes I have heard are Alex trying to see what Buster wants regarding law school and trying to guide him in being proactive to get back to school. The conversations are a bit awkward. I would guess they feel restrained knowing the conversation will be taped and made available to the public.
Sounds like my father
@@judytreischl6899 IMO Alex was pushing Buster into going back to law school. It sounded like he was concerned about appearances. He never asked if Buster wanted to go. Buster just said, “ya,ya” but never returned. Guess that’s the answer.
Looks like he’s covering for dad to me
He'd rehearsed more then they do for a scene in a big budget movie. Every word carefully chosen by AM's lawyers. Every move carefully choreographed.
But he was asked questions that he did not know the answer to like his Dad’s birthday a big no no. The defence has gone to great lengths to demonstrate how close the family was. But Buster said he knew nothing of his dad’s criminal activities and he only had sketchy information about his so called opioid addiction. You just cannot be close and not know somebody is an addict especially given the testimony of the amount Murdaugh was spending on drugs.
@@irisdown9758 exactly great points
Including all of the scratching, fidgeting, turning around looking behind his seat and pushing his tongue out after every lie??
Very obvious
💯
Everyone who had any type of relationship is a victim of Alex. He ruined his son's too. Buster nor Paul were good people. Sad that all 3 most likely committed murder. Buster to Stephen Smith, Paul to Mallory Beech & the long time house keeper Gloria too, was most likely murdered. Geez what a train wreck of a family.
Narcissistic personality parents generally raise Narcissistic children . This young man is a younger chip off the old block.
MAGA poster family
Most definately, the housekeeper Gloria was murdered. How else was Alex going to get more money?
I would be filled with grief talking about that terrible news if someone called me to tell me my Mother and Brother were murdered.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ I don’t aw ❤❤❤DWa
Just piggybacking on your comment to suggest: Shock
-shock-shock, incredulous, denial (immediate, "It can't be!?!" ) momentarily wish it away, mourn, grief, grief, grief...... for months,
years, or lifetime.
Unless you have had to be forced to cope with unimaginable trauma and “trooper “ on like it hadn’t happened bc your very life , and the life of the ones you loved depended on it, you would become so adept at detaching from the emotion in the trauma, it’s not only second nature, it’s auto response .
I think the entire family are nuts.
He's lived a lifetime lying for his dad, covering for stuff he'd seen, done, stuff he personally did -- not just his dad. He was conditioned to life and evade the truth.
His Body Language says; I don't want to be here and Deep Down, I think he did it!!!
Two years from now someone at a Waffle House will find a bright red hair on their breakfast platter and they’ll know ole Buster is working the grill that day. Buster is a criminal who got away with murdering a young man and counted on his family name to carry him through life. He may never do time but he’ll walk away a pauper and maybe that’s justice enough
Sadly your incorrect. He has received inheritance from Maggies estate after the sale of her breach side property and from his grandad that's rumoured to be enough to set him up for life and he'd never have to work again.
Very well said ! Theirs a destitute Waffle House here in VA. Nobody sets foot in , it would be a perfect hiding place for him .
I experienced a severe trauma and detached when explaining it to officials...I cried privately. What had happened devastated me but I only showed the emotion privately. I think how I respond was cultural instilled in me.
I lose time for about a full month or two.
Detached is a good way to explain it! Me too. I was allowed to accompany my son into the trauma room, only after the head surgeon looked me in the eye to see if i was going to fall apart. I shut it down..i didn’t really cry for 2 years.. and usually alone in my car.. weird? Calm in emergencies..dying on the inside…
@@kimberley1449 Try 25yrs.
The way you explained it, that makes sense. I’m going through something horrific right now but no one outside would have any idea because I’m pretty numb when i leave my house. And I cry by myself then I just get up and keep pushing forward. I get it. I guess because the whole family is so horrible I didn’t really even consider that Buster could be innocent and just numb to all of it. I guess that’s possible
You are entitled to express yourself however you choose. I hope things get better for you.
My little boy passed away. I found him. I couldn’t stop screaming, but no tears. Sometimes the pain and shock is too much. In the last two years I’ve cried everyday, but those first few days, it was unreal, sheer panic FEAR, the worst fear I’ve ever known. Think about it… how often do people cry when scared? I was scared bcuz my whole life ended with my little boy, Alex was scared because he was guilty. All I’m saying is “no tears” isn’t always so cut and dry!
Yes indeed crying or not crying mean nothing in regards to murder . When my brother died I was in shock for days . I also think buster knows his Father did it .
@Katherine Fox. I can’t imagine anything worse. I’m so sorry for your loss xx
@@indigopeas4047 thank you for your kind words ❤️💙
@@louisewright8769 I’m sorry for your loss. I just don’t understand, having lost my child how a parent could actually take the life of their loved ones. It’s so heartbreaking 💔 so many beautiful lives destroyed needlessly.
@@cmeblu75 I think Alex just saw them as a problem to be solved . those type of man and woman just see people as objects
I think Buster was so well prepared for the testimony. There were times when he jerked a bit and looked at the defense table quickly, like he had said something that he didn't get right. I think it is possible that he was so stressed and practiced that he froze when he was asked a question that he hadn't been prepared for. I do agree that he is a victim.
Prepared and rehearsed the defenses job. Thankful someone has enough knowledge to understand process and procedure in a trial which should really be common sense. Best
@Catherine Branson No, not college, Law school!
For sure...just beyond tragic all of this.😥
He is definitely a victim.
Well someone should have fixed the microphone and got him a larger chair.
Did anyone ask Buster who he thought killed his Mother and brother?
You cannot badger a witness, least of all speculatively
When I see Maggie’s sister testify almost in tears most of the time, it was so sad. But Buster testified almost without emotion! His mother was horribly murdered, not just died, murdered! And no tears and little emotion!
Yeah, I noticed that too...I guess they got more traits from their PaPa than their MaMa. Still, We never know how they are in private, or alone...when I lost my dad, I`d never cry in public aside from his memorial day, but when alone, I was fucked up from crying all the time, non stop. I think it might be a "guy" thing when dudes are younger, not sure...but now that I`m older (decade), I cry wherever, whenever it happens/ knocks on my door, whether it be wholesome situations, or kindness, sadness...But in my younger days, it would never happen on the outside, just on the inside.
Just wanted to share a different side about it, not defending Buster, but just merely stating the fact that there are other possibilities than just being out of emotion. (Buster seems to cry with his nose, just like his father- see the verdict for Alex, they zoom in on him, and he cry`s with his nose). It is clear to me, that Buster fights this emotion, so I would not say he is almost without emotion, be he seems outwardly to be unaffected by his emotions...I for sure am not going to be like most people and gaslight another person (just because "I" think "I" know it all)...
Because he was not crying doesn't mean that he was not going through the pain and hurt everyone handles grief differently and at different times. You can be strong one moment and break down the next.
@@ingridwilliams7510Yes! And he's had a long time to cry. It didn't just happen. But listening to details had to be hell.
He is composed. You have no idea of what he feels or felt as this unfolded.
Alex didn't know Paul's birthday at first either. Check out the first police bodycam footage. They had to ask him 3-4x.
I noticed that right away.
I remember that
I think many men rely on their wives or mothers to remember those important dates and remind the men.
WHAT????
@@girlygal098 all 3 of Alex’s police interviews are veryyy interesting if you have the time to watch. It took me a few nights to catch up.
Buster is detached. He was clearly being coached and lying for defense. I feel so bad for him when reality hits.
I think Buster did it. I think his dad was there, witnessed it all, and covered for him. Buster has the motive being that Paul was soon to go to trial regarding the boating accident. Buster was afraid that he would be charged with making two IDs which is against the law and for giving one to his brother to buy alcohol that caused the death of that girl. I think he is very angry and evil.
@@healingmama68 over a fake ID that he gave Paul? And what's the motive to kill Maggie? But not Alex?
@@brandishiverdecker8228 He knew Alex would cover and Maggie was a witness?
@@healingmama68 I don't assume what anyone thinks or knows unless proven.
No tear Ashley!! She can’t admit when she is wrong
Also, you can tell he was his daddy's favorite boy. In my opinion, it's probably why he's still here. Allegedly
That lady’s glasses make her look like she doesn’t have any eyes. 😵 I lost my grandmother in 1982 and I still tear up when talking about losing her. I wasn’t close to my parents and I didn’t live with them, or even near them as an adult before they died, but I knew when their birthdays were. I even know when their wedding anniversary was. If they really were a close family, somethings not sounding right. 🤔
Her glasses are ridiculous
@@dubbytyler Agreed!
Sandi... I'm going to give Buster a tiny bit of slack here. Men are not that into birthday dates, anniversary dates as women are, IMHO.
@@macforme OK, but I’m not cutting him any slack because I think people cut too much slack to this family for too many years, and they got away with too much. And that’s why we’re here today. They were cut slack and treated like they were above the law, and they thought they were.
@@Sandi-ke9mi No, no ...just on the birthday date... nothing else gets any slack because you are right...they feel entitled.
That body language expert is off on this one!! I have been watching Buster through the entire trial. He is one cold hearted person. He has NEVER showed any emotion, neither during any testimony of the eye witnesses at the scene or the Coroner's descriptions of the bodies!! He made disparaging remarks about his murdered Brother!!! Buster even gave the finger to one of the witnesses that was testifying!! He had to be moved so he wasn't in direct line of the witness stand! I think Buster is involved with the murder of his Mom and Paul or he did it himself. Who stands to benefit the most from it all???!!! Paul is gone,, so there goes the boat case. Mom was most likely going to divorce Alex and take him for everything she could. Buster was a failure in Law school. So, Daddy goes to prison for life and Buster gets the life Insurance money and none of the debt for all of the money Alex stole from clients settlements and the Law Firm!!! Talk about MOTIVE!!! " Victim"? I think NOT! Everybody loses, except Ole Buster.
Oh. I’m wondering I don’t think Alex M would hurt his Family Alex Murdauh has Worked hard for his Family
@@maryjemison1101 worked hard??!!!! He stole everybody blind he represented!! Did you even listen to his testimony????
@@maryjemison1101 huh??? What language is this? No punctuation, just a word salad.
Sorry, Unfortunately Buster was definitely NOT there for THAT murder. However, I personally believe he had something to do with Steven Smith. 10 Min after police arrived at the "accident", Alex and his brother drive up and walk right under the police tape. HOW DID THEY KNOW? Maybe Buster told his dad "I took care of the problem." Too many friends knew that Buster was seeing Steven.
I think Buster did it. I think his dad was there, witnessed it all, and covered for him. Buster has the motive being that Paul was soon to go to trial regarding the boating accident. Buster was afraid that he would be charged with making two IDs which is against the law and for giving one to his brother to buy alcohol that caused the death of that girl. I think he is very angry and evil.
Of course AM had a big birthday 🎂 🎈 🎉 party the weekend before he SLAUGHTERED his family SMH 🤦🏻♂️ 😳😤😧 this is the most one sided trial in the history of America! He’s so damn guilty of this its disturbing and disgusting! 🤢🤮 SHAME🫵ON YOU AM!
Right? What a waste of time and $$$😤🤥
@@Cassie-pt7mt 😂🤣 I know right!
That body language " expert" looks like she should have a psychic hotline.
Ha… I was thinking she could be a tarot card reader😂
Seems like Buster is a lot like his Dad. Cold. The whole family including the Alex’s brothers are odd. I lost 2 younger brothers 3 months apart 4 years ago. I cry when I look at their photo. Hopefully Hampton will be a safer place.
I watched Buster while his father was testifying, he was angry, really angry. Buster is the golden child, he is walking in his fathers footsteps. After following this case for years, Buster to me is just as guilty covering for his father.
How is Buster covering for his father?
Especially when he was the only person to say that it wasn't Alec in the Snapchat video, when he absolutely knew it was. Everyone else was 100 percent sure it was Alec. Buster is absolutely covering for his father, as is Alec's brother, and not surprised that his whole family was killed.
@@eileenprice3593 yep!
Buster is also a victim of his father’s during this court hearing. His father wouldn’t look at him a few weeks ago, now he is just googly eyed at him.
I find it incredulous that each time Paul is mentioned Alex falls to pieces! However when MAGGIE is referenced he displays less emotion...What also frustrates me is that Griffin focuses on Paul with each witness and very rarely MAGGIE. Buster has had a poker face the entire time, but walking into court he was happy and stepped to the front of his family like a peacock..He's an exact replica of his father. Right down to his plagiarism issue at school and his indifference to the magnitude of his action; going so far as to denigrate his deceased brother on many occasions; barely referencing his Mum.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree . This was and is a toxic corrupted family . Of course, Buster is going to have similar traits values as parents who raised him . He's calling Paul 'paw paw" now on stand every day to try win the jury over. Alex Murdaugh is a very clever man without a conscience. Alex Murdaugh cares only about Alex Murdaugh everyone else is there to serve his needs including his own two sons if the chips are down .
Alex was way more emotional about the description of Maggie's injuries than he was about Paul's. I actually almost felt sorry for him. I thought he may have finally realized all the destruction he's caused.
I think it’s curious that Buster didn’t question his dad. His dad said your mom and brother were shot. Wouldn’t you think buster would say what do you mean? Are they OK? What did you say? It seems like he would do a whole slew of clarifying what his dad was saying and it would take a period of time for him to even understand that they were shot and killed.
You are right about this Ashley. I think he is really struggling with the idea of his dad committing these heinous crimes and I don’t think that he is ready to go there in his mind. Despite how they were raised, privileged, entitled and all the other adjectives, he is another victim in a long line of victims.
YES!
Him giving a witness the finger in the courtroom says all we need to know about buster
Not knowing his Dad’s birthday is NOT a big deal !! Not unusual at all
So this means he has never wished his dad a happy birthday
I have ten grandchildren and I get a few of their birthdays wrong. I’ve been with them since the day they were born. I know the months but don’t always get the dates right. Not a big deal life is crazy busy for most people. Maybe he’s so nervous his mind froze. If I get very nervous I can forget things I know well.
Yes it is when he has a bday every year that you attend. Come on dude
@@smiletoshowyoucare Do your children know your bday? This man had a party EVERY year. They talk everyday so he must have called him on his bday. I know my parents bday cause we celebrate it.
Liar liar, Hair on fire🔥 🔥🔥🔥
That's exactly what I thought. His fricken hair tells it all🧑🦰🤑👹🔥
They both have dead eyes. You sure did give Buster a pass with , "even if he has something to do with Steven Smith's death"... That's murder and you just gave him a pass.
yes she does because they are al come out of the same cloths of spoiled and entitled spoiled rich people kids, she have to have some connection to these folk, is disgusting how poor reporting n bs she is,
He was cold as 🧊
Not knowing the birthday is because his Mom did everything for them. He didn't need to remember because she would remind him and his brother. She might have even bought the presents they gave to their dad.
I don’t think Buster not knowing his Dad’s “Exact” birthday is any big deal. I have so many people in my family with close birthdays I sometimes get mixed up myself.
Alex did have tears in his eyes, along with a very red nose and eyes.
Sometimes I think even the "body language experts" are biased and can't see the truth, when they already think the person is guilty.
They don't know squat " because everyone is different
The 'body language' expert doesn't know enough to ditch the ring light which reflects off those horrible glasses. Even the 'Behavior Panel' group of male experts seem like scammers. You can imagine every gesture means something, but the amount of stress someone is under on the stand is immense, even for a more anonymous witness. For someone like Buster, you can't really glean anything from his testimony - especially since it was VERY gentle. All he really said was that he hadn't left his dad out of his sight in the first week afterwards - good information for the defense that Alex didn't have a chance to hide evidence but also that he probably was considered a suicide risk.
I think he's smug and unlikable but his family is destroyed. His eyes look sad and lost to me, I don't think he knows as much as everyone seems to think.
Yep numb and dead inside. I do feel for him….he’s the only left in the family besides Maggie’s Mom and Dad who are elderly and then the other 2 Murdaugh brothers. But what a horrible fate to be left with in the end. His father will never see the light of day again if he’s convicted of killing his Mother and Brother…😢
both childrrn were and are spoilt entitled brats, sorry to say. all the family lacks empathy and emotions. it runs in the family. buster is suspected to have something to do with another strange death by the way.
Tears...So agree with you Ashley..Thanks for your hard work...and God bless.
The impression that I get from Buster not knowing his father's birthday is because he's really kind of detached from him without saying it. In other words, if he was as close to his father as he would like to appear, then he should be interested enough in him to know when his birthday is. Just my opinion.
When I was on the stand in a civil case I froze when asked what was my fathers date of birth- I could not recall for the sake of me. But when I am calm and in a normal social setting, I have no problem remembering. Buster is pretending to be stoic etc., but he must be terrified on the stand in addition to the trauma of everything.
@@ekrip8 you do have a point. I hadn't thought about it from that perspective. I was coming from the dysfunctional family side.
You should have analyzed his body language when he was asked about whether or not he was aware that Paul had been given a replacement gun for the one that had gotten stolen. He said ‘no’, but I found that hard to believe.
I never could remember the EXACT date of my Dad's or Mother's Bday's ....I knew the month but the exact date always had me go check. And I am actually a number's person. When I was married I always texted and reminded my three boys when was their Dad's birthday (or Grandparents) so I am not really bothered by him not knowing.
True
same here.....I have to do memory tricks.....I had a problem with my husband's for many years....I still have problems remembering everyone's birthday in the family....
Don't lots of men in general forget all the important dates?!
Anybody notice AM, Tell the Lady, sitting next to him, He’s a good boy.
( I read his lips) it was before asking him, when was AM’s birthday. I do feel for Buster, losing his Mother and brother. It seems his mother checked on both boys regularly. She was taking care of his RX. (IMO at his age he should be taking care of that.) But it does show that he was close to his mother and depended on her. Young age to lose your mom. His children will never have the opportunity to know her.
He's not helping the 'gingers don't have a soul' narrative.
Alec had a long talk with Buster. What he had to do. To get out if debt..
One message for Brooklynn: RUNNNNNNN!!!
Biggest take away-
Defense Atty. couldn’t get Buster to say he had seen Vinny Vine shirt before or after.
Let’s hope jury caught that, too.
If body language was that reliable, it would be accepted in court.
I honestly feel that Buster is just in like sort of a state of fog & doesn't really know what to believe. Imo I think he wants to believe so badly that his father isn't responsible for taking his mother & brother away from him, but he has some questions & doubts. His brain is telling him one thing while his heart is saying another. Regardless at the end of the day Buster is a victim & I'm sure hurting terribly.
That being said @ times during his testimony it seemed, IMO, that he was coached very very well on what to say & how to say it.
making excuses for a sociopath? WEIRD flex
@themilkkmaid_ not making excuses. The topic was about his demeanor while he was testifying. Regardless at the end of the day he lost his mother & brother. No one, idc who u are, should never have to feel that kind of pain. Buster is not at fault for what happened to his mother & brother.
I think this boy wasn't as close as he said he was! My son is 38 years old, and his dad served 2 deployments. He remembers his dad's birthday...
Exactly, NO TEARS by AM, only wiping...standard Murdaugh move
My ex-husband never knew his mother and father's birthday and when I said I found it odd he didn't...he jumped down my throat saying how "no one knows their parents' birthdays" as if I was the one in the wrong. Of course my ex was also a narcissist and a sociopath, so this is how they think and how they treat people who they supposedly love (we were married 28 years). Any fault of their own isn't a fault...they twist it to make it that you're the one who's not normal. I see a lot of this behaviour going on by Alex in the interviews and now up on the stand. Total narcissist and sociopath. Everything is about them...everyone is out to get them...everyone does things TO them. My ex, when our son was younger, was convinced a nearly two year old child was doing things specifically to get him upset. As if a child, less than two, had the inner workings of psychology in order to do things to piss him off...other than our child was only two and this is how tiny children act. Duh. But, nope...it was always "why is he doing this to ME?!"
Also they act totally different with people around and when it's only family. Someone would have thought we had such a happy family because that's how he portrayed it to everyone else. I told people if they only knew...and they'd think I was genuinely joking with them as they couldn't believe my ex wasn't the greatest guy. You can get really good at fooling people if you do it all the time.
Wow you took a lot of things right out of my mouth... And at the end of the day if I see any remote emotions in Alex, I believe it is simply because he was caught. And even still blames everyone else for doing this TO HIM.
I am in the middle of phase 1 of leaving my diagnosed narcissistic sociopath husband of 10 years and trust me, I see a lot of behaviors that come from the same play book. I don't care how smart he THINKS he is, the Titles of most of these videos are spot on: body language doesn't lie.
He is working so hard to not unleash the narcissistic rage... One thing ASPD personalities hate is someone telling them about themselves and Waters would, if under some other circumstance, be skating on paper thin ice.
Ive had 10 years of Insanity, fights every single day over the most minute things...
No one can imagine how draining a break up like this could be and although he is hoovering and attempting to love bomb all over again, he is steady threatening to destroy me and "grind me into the ground." They don't know how to love therefore they don't know how to truly feel therefore they can play any PART that suits them but from the outside looking in, Mr. Murdaugh can't gaslight me ....I'm one step ahead of the game.
And an empath ta Boot, lol and my energy vampire knew from the get go that I was emotionally weak, like many of those *little people* Alex ripped off... The vulnerable. They are manipulative evil creatures and are truly capable of DOING anything to feed their disease...and killing wife and son to gain sympathy, yeah, that sounds about right.
Leaving emotional and apparently real corpses in their wake.
Buster is a natural born victim because youu can't live with a narcopath and NOT be one... .
Btw, congrats on escaping... I have a long way to go but leaving was the first step in a long journey of healing ahead. Phew, at least I made it out intact. Rip Paul and Maggie
(Also, if he says Paul Paul one more time, I swear I'm turning it into a drinking game. Lol. Back to watching the rest of the trial, almost took off work to stay home and watch it live. Haha)
@@jessieblack5780 - Yes, the Paul-Paul thing is possibly cute when your child's still in diapers...when you're close to being in them yourself, it isn't. ;)
I had one like that. When I finally left him I could explain to my family why I was wearing turtle necks in July in Florida. Their answer was they had no idea. Forget the fact I couldn’t look them in the eye I was so depressed. They never noticed
Absolutely, you nailed it. Narcissists and sociopaths are good actors, (often are very charming and “super nice” publicly) but their veneer is actually pretty shallow if you take the time to really explore it. Pathological liars often lie so much they begin to believe their own lies eventually. I have known a few and they amaze me that they don’t realize savvy people can eventually realize they are liars/lying. It’s kind of insulting.
Buster may have been embarrassed not knowing his father’s birthday, but I didn’t get the impression that he was bothered by it in the least. That may be informed by my having heard the collect calls Buster received from his jailed father and what sounded to me like the somewhat dismissive and impatient tone he took in those conversations.
It’s almost like Alex, Maggie, and Paul were a three-ring circus and Buster was aokay and maybe even relieved being on the outside looking in.
Ashleigh Banfield my favorite news nation journalist
AM face when his son didnt know his birthday you could almost see him thinking, I gave this kid everything he wanted and he still doesnt care enough to know my birthday, then try to cover it up with a smile that came out as a smirk. If the kids were close to their father im guessing its because he supported them financially not because of a close loving bond.
I noticed he threw in some awkward nail biting in his testimony. I believe like Father like Son. I also believe that if Alex is found guilty the Insurance Company won’t pay out. If he is innocent he is never getting out because of his other crimes. Giving control of the inheritance to Buster. Just like he wanted to do with his own suicide by friend to give Buster the money!
What insurance?
You're making things up.
buster gets his debt, buster could be murdered yet
AM wasn't committing suicide.
He called his cousin Eddie pretending he wanted to be killed so Buster could inherit his life insurance.
But what he was going do is set Eddie up and kill him.
Eddie was to be the fall guy and then Alex could say Eddie must have killed Paul and Maggie.
@@WestVirginia1959 it's possible. There is no way in hell Alex wanted to be killed by Eddie...
@@mvubu6823 Maggie had a 5 million insurance policy and an inheritance from her side of the family. Alex married up at the time. There was a 1 million policy on Paul but killing him would have stopped a 30 million civil lawsuit against the family. The insurance company won’t pay Alex if he is guilty. But if he is found innocent he can sign over the policy to Buster so his creditors can’t touch it!
If I was Buster I wouldn't be anywhere near that man just for the simple fact he might try to kill him... Unless Buster was in on it and they wanted to get rid of Mom and Brother together.. I doubt it but some crazy things have happened like that before with other situations.. There is no way Buster doesn't suspect his dad did it with everything they have proved.. I know sometimes you don't want to believe your family member would do something like that but this doesn't seem like that..
Compassionate reporting Ms. Banfield 😊💗
THOSE GLASSES. Omg.
Can she see
That dude has not shown one ounce of sadness about his brother and mothers brutal murder. I just don't believe he's faultless in this mess. He seems completely unaffected. Something aint right.
Its the red hair
@@monicamontego1637 😂 I’m a ginger too
THE INVESTIGATION IS NOT COMPLETE. HE HAS SOMETHING TO DO IN IT.
Buster was raised to be a sociopath, like his daddy before him. They can't feel. They have no empathy. They only live for self preservation.
@@monicamontego1637 yeah, its too damn red 🤪
I don't understand why(I'm sure there's a reason) the state didn't ask about his being expelled from law school - the defense opened the door when they asked tells us a bit about yourself and Buster went through his education!
The state is invested in making Alex the only lying, cheating villain. If they portrayed Buster in any negative light, the jury might wonder if he is guilty or, if lying is just an inherited and common trait.....my guess anyways.
Sorry, Buster is most upset..privileged young man has to actually work now for a living!
Dad cries on cue..
i doubt Buster cares about anything but himself!
Brooklyn needs to run
Why are people allowed in the courtroom that are going to be on the stand?
BM, is doing his best to help his dad. He doesn't want it to be reliant on his testimony that Alex is convicted.
Buster knows his dad murdered his mother and brother. He probably wants to be convinced his dad isn't guilty but he knows. He also knows it could have been him.
I didn't remember my dad's birthday until I started taking him to his medical appointments and had to give it every time I checked him in. I was 60. I don't think there is anything unusual about that, especially in big families.
At that moment, Alex was ONLY crying because "he was moved his son was on the stand" and that's it.
Totally agree with Liliann. Right from the start, he kept wiping his face but I could never see a tear. Does it look like a personnality disorder?
My adult sons forgot my birthday this year. Thank God I have a daughter who remembers. Yes I felt bad. I don't need a gift or card, just a call. My youngest did end up taking me out and felt bad, the other never said a thing.
I didn't know my mom's birthday. I always mix up the date. Either 5 or 6 days after mine. That didn't mean we weren't close...means I'm terrible with dates.
This so called body language “expert” is one of the least convincing experts in the field I’ve watched…
I am catching up with this story. Is there any way Buster could have been involved before, during, or after the murders?
No he wasn’t there. There is some talk of Alex trying to coax him home though
Just asked my son when my birthday is. He said... uhmmmm.. blushed and said April? I said yes. Then asked date? He got the day wrong even after 3 guesses. My girls would know. Maybe just a boy thing. 🤷♀️🙂
He’s not a victim lady… he is an accomplice. You just don’t know….
The body language expert`s optometrist has a great sense of humor.
I Agree with you. I feel for this young man. Buster needs major prayers 😢
Rhonda, why are you praying for this entitled rich disgusting man who murder his young male partner?
@@mohammedhosein5210 because he needs help, because he is sick. We are to pray for the poor n the sick.
@@mohammedhosein5210 JESUS, Savior of the world suffered n n died on the cross for everyone. He shed His blood🩸for all mankind. Even a man that murders his wife n son if this man turns n asks n truly believes that GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. I pray for his soul. I pray that he would believe that JESUS CHRIST died for his sins n was Resurrected. To be born again. If only this man believe, he would be forgiven. Nobody can earn the Grace of GOD. Only thru JESUS, the lamb of GOD, His blood can we be saved, n when we die we go to Heaven.
AM "cried" because he destroyed his son's family. If he did intend to leave the 10 million dollar insurance policy to Buster, it was only out of guilt. Although, I truly doubt AM even feels guilt.
They were close … he had a Mom that made a cake and celebrated Alex birthday & the party was always Memorial Day !! Buster is numb that’s all.
It’s hard to be a victim when you were part of the crime
with htose glass how can she see
The birthrate is not odd to those of us that can't remember. People celebrate on days other than their birthday so much it gets confusing..
Thank you for having the bravery to speak for Buster.
Not knowing or remembering a birthday has no bearing on caring for a person.
He’s not a victim. None of the Murdaugh’s are, including Maggie and Paul. They were all greedy and took advantage of others. How close were they when Buster can’t even remember his dad’s birthday? And Paul was laughing after the boat accident when Mallory was missing. Not to mention that during the ride he also slapped his girlfriend in the face, and laughed at her because her father couldn’t support them financially when his own father was stealing millions. And Maggie? She took part in the housekeepers death. I no longer feel sorry for any of them at this point
Buster knows the chances Alex will get off and he knows he better back Alex. Besides, who killed Stephen Smith- still to be discovered.
You'd be amazed how many kids don't remember their parents and siblings. Not sure why, but see it often
My sons adore their grandmother and don’t remember the date of her birthday. Yet they’ll come from anywhere to celebrate when I remind them.
My ex husband never knew any of his kids, his siblings, or his parents birthdays. They all thought he did until the divorce and then when he was on his own, the truth was reveled. It really hurts my kids feelings. When it first happen I use to email him and he would get mad. So, no more. I just didn't like seeming them hurt.
OMG, what we did for our narcissistic ex-husbands!!! I would call his mother and hand him the phone!!! He didn’t want to talk to her but if she didn’t hear from him she would have a meltdown. Thank God we got out, saved our children & ourselves!!! Therapy helps!!! ♥️❤️♥️
Bless this young man. Buster did appear to me to be numb. He is still in shock. I cannot imagine being in his shoes. A father who is a drug addict within the home has devastating consequences for every member of the family. Very harmful to young, fragile psyches.
I think he was involved in killing Stephen Smith. God ain’t gonna bless that
Buster was no wholesome young lad. He gave his little brother his driver's license to buy alcohol when he was under age, is a suspect in the murder of a young gay man, AND he was caught plagerizing a paper in law school and was expelled. Open your eyes
No one is saying he is an angel. I certainly don’t know what he has or hasn’t done or been involved with. What I am saying is he most certainly is one traumatized young man. And to judge his reactions and/or behavior without acknowledgment of that trauma is simply shallow. I am not saying that if he was involved with a possible murder he should not be held responsible. He has been held to account for the cheating in law school and will be shamed for that the rest of his life. On the drivers license and purchase of alcohol . Well sorry to say that is not unusual. Not that it makes it right and there was horrific consequences. By the grace of God, we have not been held to account for the many stupid, destructive things we ALL did in our youth.
@@robinpesek3657
We are all held accountable for the deeds we do, the majority of time, on this side of the grass.
We all have opinions. You heard ours, we heard yours.
@@dianakidd4219 And then you woke up.
Alex is so guilty!!
clearly there is no love lost between these 2. Buster can't stand his dad, prob knows he is guilty
