"I'm a liar and a deceiver, but you should believe me now" -Alex. GUILTY
Lmao
You never lied before momo?
Ahhh….if all liars were murderers, there’d be no one left.
Not enough to convict someone 🤷♂️
On and on and on because it keeps the questions at bay.
The one thing I just cannot get past is the beginning of the 911 call. Most people don't realize that the line is being recorded even when the call is ringing prior to dispatch answering. Why was Alex dead silent, while the line was ringing, but then the moment the dispatcher answers, suddenly he starts breathing heavy and crying as if on cue?? That entire call was an act in my opinion.
really good point. I didnt think about that
are you really asking that as if maybe he's not guilty? This dude is as guilty as they come. unchecked power for decades on end has finally come home to roost. This dude is a shell of a man
😮😮😮😮 I had no idea. Need to go back and listen
@@kch7051 I don’t think the poster was saying that at all- the exact opposite in fact
“It’s a House!”🤣
My Sister was shot in the head, left for dead. She lived paralyzed for 6 years before she passed...It literally killed our Mother. My Sister was only 56 when she passed. I cared for her with my Mother after 6 months of hospitalization. She was like a small child after that.
We never found out who did it, though there were suspicions. The hardest thing we ever as a family endured. I pictured her fighting for her life as I'd try to sleep at night.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
The trauma is unimaginable. You are never the same.
I can't say for sure who the guilty party is, but God does know.
🍂 Dear Debbie Riddle, I am so sorry for your loss & everlasting pain. 💞 Your dear Mother' pain has to be all consuming & for you as her Daughter watching, I just can't imagine the torment. Prayers all around, may God bless you both dear ones, rest assure your Beloved rests in eternal peace in His Kingdom, joyfully awaiting your reunions. 🙏
Very sorry for your loss
Debbie mom not awake testimony by caregiver.
I'm sorry that happened to your sister and family.
Sorry for your loss can’t imagine what you and your family went through, very sad 😢
How many of you would check for a pulse when you see someone's brain sprayed all over the side walk?
Alex repeatedly shakes his head up and down, TO SAY YES ... as he denies killing his family members.
HE DOES IT ALL THE TIME IF YOU WATCH HIM WHILE HE'S SAT BY HIS LAWYERS.
HE'S A NODDY NODDING DOG.
I noticed it too. The first huge clue someone’s lying. Because it’s uncomfortable af to shake your head yes while saying no and same for the other way around.
I had seen this all throughout the court proceedings when he was on the defense seat corner, this could be sign of him being stressed!! Or could be an involuntary movement of withdrawal symptoms from his addiction.
Drug addiction period causes permanent damage neurological.
I saw that too.
If he is sooo used to calling Paul “Pau Pau” why did we never hear him refer to him with that nickname in any of the interviews? I’m actually really annoyed by him doing this. He talked poorly about Paul right after the murders but now that a jury is involved he’s as doting as can be. What an act.
Let’s not forget “Mags”. His bs pet names made me want to puke. I’m more than convinced of his guilt.
Exactly
Pau pau and Mag !! Bull crap!! Lying slime!!
PLEASE MAKE IT END!!!!!!
Cause his lawyers told him to use a term of endearment to pull on the juries heartstrings. Paul-Paul🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
"You can't be around Paul Paul and not have a good time" said Noone that's ever been on a boat with him 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Him using everyone's pet names is driving me nuts. And constantly referring his answers to all these records is also driving me nuts.
Ah, so you remember what you did last June seventh at 7 pm, what you ate and what you did the day before that and so on. I doubt it because I sure don’t. Especially not in specific detail.
@@JR-kc8jx If my son and husband had just been brutally murder murdered, every last little detail!!
@@trjolly you obviously haven’t experienced any murders. The pockets of America I come from it’s common place . I will tell you , I’ve had 2 friends killed just outside my house and lost many more people to violence . I don’t remember the oddest things. But I remember clearly the most random things.
Him answering “no” to the questions about ‘harming’ his son and wife but repeatedly nodding yes/head up and down while answering each question with a no.
Conscience is a powerful force-even for the wicked.
Yesss ..He is not expert ín human behaviour and stuffed up big time there. Guilty .
To be fair, he seems to nod his head OFTEN. It seems he has a nervous tick. I saw this whilst he was seated at the defense table too. He also chews his cheeks, or something, A LOT.
HE'S A NODING DOG ANYWAY, WATCH HIM AT ANY TIME WHILE HE'S SAT BY HIS TEAM.
I caught that too!
He knows that not testifying would bury him with the jury. He thinks he is smart enough to fool the jury with torturous self disclosure. We will see.
First rule in defense is that Narcissists should never take the stand
@@drewwalker59 true!! He’s like Amber heard! No tears
I’d rather let them THINK I maybe a murderer….than confirm it on the stand. NEVER TAKE THE STAND, even if you’re innocent.
@@drewwalker59 they can't help themselves. Narcissists think they have superior intelligence and think they can snow anyone
@@mauiskater oh there are tears! But the difference is they are crocodile tears🐊….and we can see straight through it
If he says “pawpaw” one more time, I am going to scream
I think the paranoia came from fear of being called out for things he actually did-rather than the drugs
He can lay off the fake terms of endearment: "Mags and Paw-Paw." To my recollection, Buster never called his brother that when he had testified.
This is the comment I was looking for. And the nickname for his colleague. So fake.
JUST MY THINKING!!!
Nauseating!
Meg & paw paw! Give me a break, he sounds slow, that’s why he was stealing money, he’s uneducated to say the least!🤷🏽♀️
I made the same comment. Paw paw ….normally a term of endearment but when he says it it sounds different.
At first I thought this attorney is being too easy on him but he’s probably just letting him dig himself deeper….just let him talk and he will show his lies.
I'm sorry he just comes off as angry and entitled. It's not the drugs or paranoia. He's just entitled. And guilty.
THIS. Makes me sick 🤢🤮
I don't trust the two brothers neither. Especially Randy.
" No I did not!" while nodding YES to all questions. This guy is something else. He killed them.
Paul was an ‘absolute delight’? Now we really know he’s lying..
"I never shot my son or my wife anytime, ever"......shakes his head "yes" as he looks at the floor
I’m so glad he cleared up the “anytime, ever” part. Now we believe you, we thought I you just shot them sometimes.
I wonder how many of the jury he has bought by now.. because otherwise I can't see how they will find him not guilty
@@kellyharney2385 😂😂😂😂
@@ichdieLivi Why? What evidence?
The head shake may be like a mini-body rock to comfort his grief.
He gives copious amounts of insignificant details but very scant about revelant details.
Exactly. He recounts details of insignificant things but can't recall anything that truly matters. He is talking and talking and talking to wear the jury out. Deflecting. So by the time an important question is asked, the jury would have already turned him out. No one cares about the dogs, Krispie Kreme doughnuts or that "Mags" reconnected with an old college friend. His attorneys are absolutely letting him ramble on about everything other than the murder of his wife and son. 🤨
Brings Jodi Arias to mind. That’s exactly what she did for DAYS on the stand.
@@CM-OnMyWayHomeAmber Heard too
That is what liars do, over explain.
Amazing how Alex can go from ugly crying to speaking normally so quickly isn't it. He never reaches for a tissue and just lets the snot drip down as well. When someone does this it is because it is for other's benefit, they're putting on a show - genuine snotty crying folk are adverse to letting others see them in such a state and try to clean themselves up often. This animal is creepier than a hairy vine.
He kept stealing money from injured people who needed that money. He keeps saying it was wrong, yet he kept stealing millions of dollars, even though he was a wealthy man. It wasnt all for drug addiction. Over and over again. No conscious no real remorse. Would still be doing it if he hadnt been caught. Then he turns on his wife and son. This guy is sick and disgusting.
There family, friends and colleagues must be devastated. You think you know someone and it turns out you never would have suspected they were this vile and evil.
He planned it all asking her to come home He shows huge signs of greed and so does Buster. Lots of above the law has been practiced as we read about the family and this didn t happen overnight. Some people just can t keep their hands out of the cookie jar
I wonder what the people that know you would think if your secrets were brought to light.
Holy crap, he sure likes to talk. He thinks all this talking, calling them by their nicknames is going to fool anyone? Jeez.
Interesting that he says he’d never ‘intentionally’ hurt them. That screams that he totally did, but in complete denial and distancing himself from his own actions.
In his mind he didn't mean to do it.
@@s.r.4029 Exactly this 👍🏻 You can see the mess he’s in. He’d feel so much better if he just confessed.
In his drug paranoid state he did perhaps
@@mustlovedogs5569 Possibly
well he clearly indirectly hurt them by stealing and doing substances so maybe that’s what he means there. But he seems like something is very wrong with him,
but he was a lawyer himself so he knows what to say.
Also...his other son's reaction is interesting.
His mother and brother were brutally
murdered yet, ZERO emotion.
Then A. does a lot of "sobbing" yet ZERO tears from either of them.
I think the son knows something.
I usually stray away from judging people. I’m not judging Buster. Just saying…..he seems quite strange to me. But then…I’m not in his shoes. I don’t trust him or John. John was lying on the stand, I felt it. You’re gonna somewhat cover your murdering brother? Seriously? Maggie’s family stayed away from all of it. First class folks.
The biggest rule of spotting a lie is when they nod while saying “no” or denying.
PARANOID THOUGHTS, THINKING WITHOUT REASON, is why he killed his family... HE'S SORRY THOUGH... he said he would never INTENTIONALLY KILL his family members
exactly my thoughts!!
Sorry he is caught.
yup I picked up on that word "intentionally"
.
What an actor. Pity he díd not learn about guilty body language before he took the stands because behavioural analysts are going to have a field day with this fella 😀
I can't wait for the behaviour panel to analyse this video 🤞
I think the body language is bunch on bs
Body language analysis is JUNK science!
he does alot of nodding, both nervously and incongruent. His gestures dont match up with what he says. The most honest thing he talked about was the Bubba/chicken timestamp because that actually happened due to the video. He shook his head as if he couldn't believe it happened. Most shake their head in a time of stress because they dont under stand "why".
Nodding the entire time he says, "I would never intentionally do anything to hurt them, ever." Glaring body language that he is actually affirming something he DID do while stating he did not do it.
The nods are probably him personally reaffirming his answers
@@Killjoy.Z That doesn’t make any sense when you’re stating you did NOT do something. Think of when you say, “No.” .. do you shake your head “no” or nod ? You’d be a rare anomaly if you nodded…
I found my mother after her horrific death. I could barely hold my phone in my hand and was unable to dial 911. I had to click on the last phone call I received (luckily from my sister) and have her phone and send police. If I had to stand trial and talk about it today I could not recall everything due to the incredible shock and terror I was experiencing. For the longest time I would shake my head every time the image of her popped into my mind in attempt to shake it out! To this day (2 yrs. later) I am still not sad that she died, I have not grieved her death, I cannot look at pictures of her or talk about her. It is too traumatic to bring up any memory of her just yet. I was diagnosed with PTSD and struggle like crazy every day! This is a horrible situation for everyone involved! Sending love and support to the families/loved ones and I hope justice is found.
You mean that you were so shaken up that you could not even place a 911 call?
So you didn’t call your best 10 friends to have them over for a party?
Yeah, that is the difference between you will real feelings and Alex.
I’m so so sorry for your loss ❤
I hope you’ve recovered to some point. PTSD though….never goes away. You just have to catch yourself and deal with issues one at a time. Too overwhelming to handle all at once. I have it. It’s horrible. But I have learned how to deal with it and can now function at about 75%. I wish you the best. Said a prayer for you.
He’s not the best liar. Pretty easy to hear and see his change in tone and demeanor between talking about the inconsequential things that he doesn’t have to lie about, as opposed to the important stuff that he clearly ain’t truthing about
so is he the killer or not? im so confused who actually killed ''his family''
@@MoonDoesntMiss he did…
speaking of the 'inconsequential', the first videos of Murdaugh, post-slaughter, were filled to the brim with unrelated unnecessary Alex talk filling the awkward silence.
@@MoonDoesntMiss why is “his family” in quotes? Was it not his real family?
@@G.GordonMidi its in quotes because i was confused. cause all of them were just being talked to like they were innocent. so i thought maybe someone else did the crime. does that make any sense?
I did lie to them, yes, I just committed a double homicide, what do you expect me to do!
Bravo!
Notice that during the questioning about the monies that he stole, a couple of times he said, "I knew these people, I CARED for these people, and yet, yes, I hurt them terribly, even though I cared for them." Hmmm. Same thing could be said about his wife and son -- 'I care for them, and yet, I hurt them."
IKR!? I thought 'oh wow, that's a baaad slip' for him, then lol'd.😄
I observed that Alex could hear the defense lawyers much better that the prosecution even though the prosecution spoke louder. Alex kept asking the prosecution to repeat the question. Made it take hours.... Hope the jury stayed awake to notice that.
he should not have got anywhere near that witness stand, because the cross examination is going to be absolutely brutal...
I hope so
I can't wait. It's like Xmas. It's snowing like crap. House is clean. Dinner done.
BINGE TIME.
HE'S A LIAR AND A MURDERER.
Yep! He’s going to remove the benefit of the doubt. Never ever testify. Bad idea.
Can't wait!!!
I know-can’t wait for the cross !
I was there, and left within mere minutes of them being murdered... but I know nothing about the killing. Came back later and in 20 seconds I knew everything I needed to say
What do you mean, please?...
just shut up
I saw them them dead and went to the house to get a gun. Hmmm I would get in my car and drive fast anywhere but there as I’d fear someone would come after me. He stayed as he knew there was no immediate threat
His story is wildly unbelievable. The meandering way he tells it, giving weird emphasis to inconsequential details, dwelling on them, elaborating them, also makes his whole testimony sound like an elaborate lie. The cross examination is where the details will sink him further, if he can sink any lower.
@@hanagloriaedelblum5693 to me if I was scared I’d run/ drive out of there. If I was devastated I’d probably lay beside my beloved ones holding them. Hmmm but I guess he didn’t want any blood on his clean clothes.
If that was my father, I'd be embarrassed.
He’s a disgusting human being. I’m so glad the jurors were able to see through his bs. I feel awful for his surviving family and friends who wasn’t connected to this crime.
Yep; he’s the worst of the worst. Absolute POS. Literally zero redeeming value.
He’s going on and on about what it looks like at the dog kennels. You know why? Because he doesn’t have to lie about that.
it just amazes me why he never shot the as well…in his paranoid state of mind…leaving living witnesses….wait till the prosecution puts them on the stand..woof woof!
He's full of it. I hope the jury does the right thing with this guy. If he's not convicted, he'll be wandering around in the community FREE to spew his lies....
Thank goodness!
Keep in mind he and his family have the money to buy off jurors. I pray that doesn't happen, but it wouldn't shock me.
I really do think that if somebody else did it, they would be sitting there on trial. there is nobody else. the police have to cover all the possibilities. they certainly had enough to bring him to trial, or the search for a suspect would still be ongoing. remember that the killer of those college students was even eventually found. everybody thought that person was in the wind for sure, but he was captured. I think the DA has the right man here. 👍⛓🔐💉🩺😵
@@TheDukeOfDuchess I don't think they have much money. He had just gotten a loan and had to put up his beach house as collateral. Wealthy people don't do that. What little money he still has belongs to all the people that he stole from.
He will go to jail for life for the financial crimes. He may be full of it, probably is involved but there is too much reasonable doubt. SLED completely dropped the ball
Right in the beginning when he was asked if he murdered his wife and child he answered no and at the same time he was shaking his head yes. This guy is a cold blooded killer.
He’s had that same twitch throughout the trial. He’s also definitely shown plenty of twitches from the pills (lips licking, jaw movement, chewing, etc.). I’m not saying he’s innocent, but the short, blunt answers and jaw clinching can be signs of frustration and emotion of the accusations alone.
Watching this again after the sentence. The beginning of his testimony here should have been his speech today.
Another thing. Within moments of being on the stand and admitting he lied JG asked him about his day on the 7/6/21 and he said straight of that it was a ‘normal day’ at work. NO mention of the meeting about his stealing from them.
The camera was on Harpootlian and he actually raised his eyebrows and you know he was just thinking ‘this is why he shouldn’t have taken the stand, he’s lying’
So clearly he murdered his wife and son?
👍❤ ... I can't stop laughing because you hit the nail! Harpootlian (in my opinion he is a professional) would not like to leave this case before retiring from criminal defense cases to the other side of victim defense.
However this is criminal not civil
What did u say? I’m 2 busy admiring your pretty hair😁🐶
Right I caught that too! 🤔
Every time Alex said “No, I did not” he was shaking his head yes, how could he not know what that says to every juror, good lord this guy is screwed and I’m glad
Came here to say the same. In the past, it’s taken commentary pointing that type of thing out to me in other testimonies/statements, but it’s as blatant as day him doing it here - so clearly shaking his head yes to every single question!
Body language says it all. You can think you are smart but your body language gives it away. Whenever he says Paw paw it makes me cringe. 😢
@@mauiskater agreed he is getting on my nerves with calling him a term of endearment to fake he loved him...all bs theater...
But, if we’re all being honest….. we all saw him nodding his head when he was sat at defense table, not answering questions. He has a tick. He also chews his own gums A LOT, which makes my spine shudder.
Look at the rest of the video. His head bobs up and down on many occasions. Seems like a tic to me, maybe possibly the result of titubation from long term opioid use (neurological damage).
The son doesn’t look like he believes a word his father is saying
His son doesn't care either way.
His dad goes to jail he gets all the money.
His dad doesn't go to jail, buster gets into law school and gets looked after as an only child.
Buster knows everything and helped his dad hide evidence and launder his dads money at the casino.
Him calling him pawpaw is really getting under my skin...his & the defenses lame attempt to make him appear as a loving father just makes him look & sound extremely immature & childish...he's a grown man & supposedly an educated lawyer , it would be nice if he could not try to insult all of our intelligence & at least talk like an adult. ITS NOT WORKING YOU PSYCHOPATH. SMDH
He says he spent the day with his son, after he got home from work. NEVER EVER did he mention yet that he was canned, asked to resign. Made it seem like a normal work day
Right!!!
So that makes him a murderer? Interesting
He was not asked to resign that day
He was confronted by his finance person that day. That was it
@@cynthiajenkins7214 That's definitely not a normal day at work tho, as Alex claimed.
If the jury can’t see thru this act, they all must be 5 years old. Alex is telling so many lies.
A five year old could see through him.
HE KILLED HIS WIFE AND SON, HE'S A DISGRACE, GREAT ACTOR, CON-ARTIST LAWYER AND DISGRACEFUL HUMAN
What do you believe was his motive?
and he is still lying
His own son is looking at him like your good dad. His own son doesn’t look like he believes him.
He sealed his fate by testifying. He’s done.
Such a close family buster didn't even know the date of his father's birthdate.
Exactly!
The date he said May 27th was correct
@@gojobuddy no the dad’s bday is June 17
This wasn’t extremely surprising to me. I think people are remembering things like that and phone numbers and such less and less because they have devices to tell them. He also was probably used to his mom taking care of things like that.
I don’t think Buster and Alex are very close though. If you listen to their phone calls that were recorded with Alex in jail they may talk often but Buster seems annoyed with Alex way more often than not. Not very loving towards each other. Whether that’s new since the murders or if they have always had that relationship I don’t know.
im close with my family i dont know my parents bdays
An innocent man does not lie ! But a guilty one does !
Duuuuh!
That is NOT always true.
Both the innocent and guilty lie.
Um, not true!
I dont know if I am crazy... I feel really bad for this man.and his family .
He faced the jurors when Defense questioned him. He faced the Prosecution when they questioned him. He was SLED. Again he’s lying about distrusting them. Alex doesn’t get credit for admitting the truth once it has already been proven. All that crying & snout dripping was for sympathy. To mislead the jurors like he misled his clients.
Maggie had no insurance but she owned land that now belongs to Alex. Once Maggie was dead the Beach’s removed her & Busters name from the lawsuit. That lawsuit settled for less than $1million when it was $10-30million when she was alive. The town did feel sympathy for Alex.
He distrusted SLED but had Police lights & 2 badges he parades around town. This man is a pathological liar. He had no tears from the victims he stole from. He wouldn’t separate them as people they all got the same pitiful “SORRY”
He’s using his charm, his doting nature and the love for his family to win the jury just like he wins over his clients.
Sociopaths often think they can charm/talk their way out of anything. He is so obviously lying his head off. I just hope all 12 jurors see through this BS.
Yep. He thinks he’s got an answer for everything and we are all eating it up.
Yup. All his Pau Pau and Momma, chatting about chickens … he’s acting like a 12 year old boy rather than a grown man- he probably thinks it’s charming and warm.
Yes, It coming across very much that way in this testimony.
Amen!
Why is he talking so much about his mom and dad ? I can’t stand to watch him anymore. How ones an intelligent woman fall for a Sociopath like him. I believe that his son is the split image of him that’s why he’s still alive.
Every time he answered "no" to the question, " Did you kill your wife", his head is nodding yes. Can't wait to hear what the Behavior Panel has to say about this.
Body language analysis is JuNK science!
He does it when he says "im sorry" too, shakes his head in a disagreeing manner, so strange, his body language is all over the place,definitely distressed
Bro this whole family is BEYOND F’ED UP! I’ve never heard so many lies being told. So much cover up. It’s sickening. Eventually the lies catch up and truth will always prevail.
Notice how when he’s asked the first questions by his own lawyer about whether he shot his son and wife he replied “no I did not” several times as he continuously shook his head yes! lol
I’ve heard him talk about “Maggie” and “Paul” many times. Not once did I hear him call her “mags” or “pawpaw” I’m sure he’s called them that before or whatever but to refer to them almost every time he says their names comes across a little odd.
He gives them nicknames to make others think they are very special to him but it's another LIE!!
It is just way over the top!!
@@chereuzzo7416 that’s exactly the feeling I got. I hate picking apart the way a person talks about a traumatic situation. I would feel terrible if by some small miracle he didn’t do it but it’s hard to believe at this point it could be anyone else
@BellOfTheBall I'm not sure if he pulled the trigger..especially on Paul but he definitely was involved
Overkill….typical
No tears, pure manipulation. (NOT) An Academy Award performance!
I’ve seen tears and snot but he can turn it off when he needs to explain something.
DEFINITELY NOT AN AWARD WINNING PERFORMANCE, NOT BY ANY MEANS.
@@cheryl5994 So is it or is it not…. in your opinion….on the same level as when the North Koreans turn it on at the death of their leader?
Well, he did have snot pouring out of his nose so he is at least a good actor. Even though he did it, it is still a traumatic and sad event for him.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fathom how anybody could murder someone in cold blood and never experience enough remorse to confess.
I can’t believe how the prosecutors let him ramble on and on. He gets way off the question that was asked. Liars always say more to try to be believable, but this is rediculous! I hope the jurors see through his BS!
They want him to slip up but it's not working. Prosecution needs to be careful because the can come off as unlikeable. Jurors have acquited people just for that reason.
Omg sane wtf is he talking about like what’s the question
He might have hired someone to do the dirty work but he’s definitely guilty of having his family killed.
I’ve never heard an addict use the word paranoid when describing their addiction to opiates.
Thought the same
I have if they were laced. Just speaking a fact
Upon knowing they were dead why didn't he immediately go to house and wait for police to come.
Instead he stood at scene of crime and made the call to 911 and then went to house and Returned to the murder scene. According to Alex crazies are put by the kennels blasting people left and right. Yet he went back to murder scene where killers could have blasted him away.
He’s on crack too!🤷🏽♀️
You are so right. Opioid addicts are usually pretty chill.
I immediately noticed when Alex was walking up to the witness box his coat looked very big on him (emphasizing he has lost a lot of weight). I had never noticed this the rest of the trial. I'm thinking they had him wear one of his old coats as a way of eliciting sympathy from the jury.
I saw that also about the big coat. And he keeps 'turtleing' to appear small and pathetic, which many criminals do when confronted.
he nods his head up and down like "YES"
Give this man an Oscar…talking straight to the jurors.
😄😄
I'd give him a Razzy for worst lead performance.
That's what they tell you to do. You are telling them the story, trying to convince them.
And he never once looked at them during cross examination
He took his bad acting tips from Amber Heard
No matter what happens in this trial, there is another Judge he will have to face one day. He better come clean before it is too late!
IIs too late-no one should have to share heaven With him
Amen! You can lie and try to convince people you didn’t commit this atrocity. They may even be swayed. But there is one man who knows the truth. He is the true judge and jury. Better be ready when you meet him, Alex. He know!
L Tilley, it is too late! He's sealed his fate. He swore to God on a bible that he would tell nothing but the truth, so help him God.
Exactly
@@keepitsimple4629 he'll still have to stand in front of God
Someone else said, the time Alex spent with his son sounded like “goodbye” quality time.
Never has anyone cried so much, and never shed one tear
Master manipulator!!!!
I have a hard time believing that this guy could have ever been credible.
And you never hear him say how much he misses his son and wife. Like in the jail phone tapes, never talks about he misses them, just talks about himself and how this is happening to him.
Ugh he is so dislikable.
In jail he is only concerned about money for the canteen. He needs to feel in control. He is emotionally shallow. A normal person might lose their ability to eat and sleep after such tragic sudden loss.
That's true never looked at that, great point 👍
He talks about how horrible the food is---oh whoa is me.
Is he Albino?
Typical narcissist all me me me
He is overworking the paw paw
I noticed that when he testified:
He is shaking his head "yes" as he says he did NOT shoot his son or his wife.
He is shaking his head "no" as he says that he "couldn't be any closer" to his sons.
EVEN ON ALL OF THE JAIL PHONE CALLS FROM THE MAIN PODCAST ON THIS, NOT A SINGLE TIME DID HE CALL MAGGIE & PAUL BY THESE NICKNAMES. SURELY, TO THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU YOU'D BE USING THEM, NOT IN A COURTROOM FULL OF STRANGERS.
IT JUST SOUNDS WRONG & NOT AT ALL GENUINE.
I HOPE THE JURY SEES THROUGH HIS BS
THIS IS THE BEST POINT I've SEEN YET!! WORKING THOSE NICKNAMES HARD. ALSO...MOST PPL WOULD NOT USE THE PERSONAL NICKNAMES WHEN Addressing STRANGERS. The familiarity makes no sense to use these names except to try and deceive.
I also found the paw paw thing suspicious. This man is a lawyer and has tried umpteen numbers of cases in front of judges, lawyers, & juries All of a sudden he forgets that a jury is not going to know what he’s talking about when calling his son “pawpaw” And his lawyer has to ask him what he’s talking about. I’m not buying it
I would love to see the coaching sessions with his attorney. Harpootlian "oh...that's good!. Call them by their nicknames" . Vipers the lot of them!
GREAT POINT!! I never even thought about that!
@cynthia belknap
THANKS CYNTHIA.✌🏼

You da best lol thank you!
Pin please 🙏
He uses the "cute" nicknames for his wife and son and tells a detailed story about the "beloved" puppies. He is trying to create a warm and fuzzy " I love my family so much' moment.
His addiction is also a motive! His lied to much and even admits he couldn’t think straight while high! So that can be used against him. How is the jury gonna believe him when his lied from the start!
Alec
Truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine…
Praying for Prosecutors
Amen. RIP Maggie and Paul
Yes
@@KohalaLover RIP they were just as evil lol
Love your poetry. It's wise too.
It’s part of a country song😆
It would be awesome if liars trousers really, and immediately, burst into flames. Stating the obvious but.... once someone lies, admitting it does not create a clean slate. It just calls to question every word they speak. Trust is lost and that's hard to get back.
Yeah... Wouldn't that be great to see a Murdaugh fire?!!!
Well said.
He is wrong for so many things she did but he did not kill his wife and son I believed that he did But now I am 100% sure that he did not do this. Yes, he cheated lied and I didn’t say he’s a good person but he did not kill those people and they need to find whoever killed his wife and his son.
Jane please excuse yourself from any future jury duties. Just show them your post. They’ll let you off.
Want to feel sorry for someone? How about the poor DEAD housekeeper....but, silly me, you must be sure he was innocent of that also. Even though, this whiner STOLE 4+million dollars meant for her children.
It is unbelievable that a lying con-artist can such garner sympathy from so many nice folks just because you nice folks cannot comprehend evil intentions.
I love how a lot of his answers regarding changing his clothes on his recollection of what he was wearing his answers are what you saw in the pictures during the trial or when they talk about his driving route. He says the route you saw in the trial.
Oh My God, when he says "Pau, Pau" my stomach churns with pure revulsion at this pathetic shell of a human being.
Reminds me of my father. My father is a narcissist. It’s so weird because he likes people to think he’s amazing. He lives in a mansion in an expensive part of the Bay Area. He cannot be wrong….at all costs. Even when it makes no sense.
I don’t speak with him anymore.
God bless these jurors having to sit through this….😢
I pray the Lord Jesus softens your dad's heart like He did with the Pharaoh in the Old Testament..I am an old C
hristian lady and it breaks that soo many adult children are estranged from their parents. With love in prayer dear man!!!
Yep, I know someone like this and this whole trial I have been thinking about how I could totally see him doing something like this and everyone would be shocked 😒
He thinks if he says some things truthfully such as “yea that’s the grass in the yard” then people will automatically believe all
Of his lies in between the truths.
Good for you you found the strength to break with your father and see him for what he really is. Thats not easy and it probably took you a long and hard time to get to that point. I hope your life is better now without your father manipulating you all the time.
You and I have A LOT in common
He admits he's a liar. How can anything he says be taken seriously?
Why did they bother to swear him in. What hypocrisy he is a confirmed liar.
He admitted he lied but don’t think he murdered his wife and son. May justice be done by God Almighty!!! This seemed like a very close knit and loving family. Sled messed up on investigation for sure.
Nodding yes while saying no. Our bodies are truer than our words!
Wow he loves to talk I know that!!!! He speaks confidently but I think he a conniving monster and 100% guilty.
@suzie B My personal opinion is that it’s because he has spent a lifetime talking his way out of lies and wrongdoings. I believe he feels confident enough to truly believe he can talk his way out of this.
It reminds me so much of Jodi Arias’ attempt at going on endlessly about details that didn’t matter, but dancing around the real stuff, all with an amazing amount of confidence that it was convincing everyone
@@CM-OnMyWayHome Yeah I agree 😉
As you may have known, the Murdaugh family had a long history of Lawyers and Law Firms. They supposedly had a respected Legal reputation dating back to Alex Murdaughs Father, Grandfather, Uncles, etc.
Lawyers in the Murdaugh firm have stated that Alex was not a smart, skilled Lawyer, as were his predecessors, they describe him as "low intelligence", but they said that Alex could weave a story and create a web, pulling people in with his charismatic personality and BS. This was a common tactic Alex Murdaugh used to secure clients trusts.
IMO, we are seeing this same "tactic" with these long winded, boring stories that he is telling on the witness stand.
He's using his "good ole' Southern Boy" approach and I hope the Prosecution will rip through it.
He reminds me a lot of a high functioning Down's Syndrome person I knew. His parents were professional musicians and he was trained rigorously to be a good musical technician, but he could never interpret or play with any cohesive form. He did not have the emotional intelligence I think to do so. He got by in life by a certain good humor he cultivated. I shudder to remember and realize his similarity to Alex.
Personal Chef, Amen. Well said!
Very well stated. I personally feel he knows the system and knows what works and doesn’t with juries. It is crazy how quickly he can stop his crying and then turn it on. I see him turning bright red but yet to see any tears. Could explain why he’s wiping his eyes high up. Cuz he knows there is nothing going to fall out of his eyes so he needs to “wipe” them away before they can bee “seen.”
@@marlinadykema6474 I hope and pray no jurors are naive and give him the benefit of the doubt. All the multiple lies speak to his lack of character.
Yup, the guy doesn't seem too smart.
WOW imagine being his lawyer knowing at this point he was guilty!
"You could not be around Pau Pau and not have a good time".
Unless you were Mallory Beach, obviously.
Words matter, and people actually go out of their way to tell the truth (what they believe to be true). Alex actually confesses right after he talked about his addiction in the opening. He states that he would never "intentionally" harm Maggie or Paul. That is his way of trying to thread the needle here in an attempt to tell the truth. After all, if he is addicted, and he is paranoid (two things he just got done stating), then his only way to get to truth is to use the word intentionally in that context. Because if he is innocent he just simply states that he would never harm Maggie and Paul.
The truth is comforting when you’re lying.
Yes. I caught that also!
Great catch! You are so right! It’s like his way of lying to himself.
i see you saw that too... wow.. wow and wow
What if he was in so deep and owed money to some bad people and as a warning, they killed his wife and son? I don’t doubt that he did terrible terrible things. I’m not sure he murdered his wife and son.
The truth hurts once .A lie hurts forever.This is why Alex should not testify It must be something about rich spoiled kids that have never been told no.
Accused of Murder, I believe it's common knowledge, the lawyer advises not to testify. These types don't like to be told no. Your early childhood caregivers are narcissist for you to become one. It's obvious he never told his brats no. Seems like Buster was the golden child. As he's still breathing.
He is not a credible witness as he has admitted to lying to police so he clearly isn't telling the truth on the stand, the jury won't believe him , once liar always a liar ,also if he was truly innocent he would have no reason whatsoever to lie to police a guilty person would lie he is not convincing me that he is innocent , he comes across as guilty, there is panic in his testimony,, if I was a juror I would say he is guilty his body language is of a guilty person
I think Alex's brother looks discusted in alex , I think he knows that alex stuffed up.
I don't think that they originally wanted him to testify, but since they found him in a lie they had to "clear it up".
Money, is the root, of "most" Evil. AS, are liars, that can't find, the " truth". withen themselves . Here we are.
I’ve been following this case for almost 2 years and let me tell you, as a lawyer, this is probably the craziest case I’ve ever seen. From a defense perspective, there really is no physical evidence that proves he did it. No smoking gun, dna would be irrelevant bc he lives there, and no witnesses. But all the lies alone and everything he did after is just not something an innocent person does. The flip side is, I’m not sure if the motive the prosecution alleges (murder to distract from his financial crimes) is even that strong. He’s a lawyer and would know even more eyes would be on him if his family were killed brutally in his own home. It would cause a media frenzy, which is the opposite someone who is trying to cover up fraud would want. It’s just the perfect case because there are so many questions.
I agree
He explained why he killed his family. He was drug addled and paranoid.
i believe he is innocent.
@@georgewashington6681 - I do as well. Unpopular, I know…
@@tinfoilhatcovidiotDid he end up confessing?
I'm new to all this. I had to see what the fuss was all about! I follow a lot of these cases and I somehow let this one slip by.
Alex's time with 'PauPau' on the last day sounds very much like a goodbye tour of the property for him.
His act crying makes me sick to the stomach. He even purposely looks at the jury, he doesn't wipe his nose or his eyes or have a tissue ready (which you would, knowing you were having to live through a trauma again) He wanted to appear to be very upset rather than "actually" being very upset...
What's with glasses on his nose he wore them on top his head WI
While not on. The stand.
@@doubleot1984 Yeah he wants to look a mess, its all part of the act, only my opinion of course lol. Okaay so Im nit picking 🤭🤪
He pulls a tissue or hanky from his jacket pocket and wipes his nose.
He didn't do it
Whats repelling you, actually has to do with you having an innate ability to read people. Your subconscious recognizes the deceptive, deviousness, shame, self loathing, etc etc. Its surprising to me how many people have 0 ability to read people lol. His body language and behaviors absolutely scream guilty. He is crying, but its due to A, not being on Percocet to hold his subconscious and conscience at bay, and B, having his own crimes thrown in his face with great detail. Finally, he has twisted, warped reality, justified, excused his abhorrent behaviors for so long but he understands right from wrong so he can never shake that deep understanding that hes a disgusting, subhuman pos. He loathes himself and may feel some regret (mostly because his actions didnt net a positive outcome) but he feels sorry for himself and simultaneously loathes himself. Quite sickening indeed.
Can't believe he took the stand, but with that defense, I guess he had no choice
This trial is nothing compared to the judge he will face someday that he cannot lie to. I hope he can get himself straightened out and develop a deep, close relationship with the truth.
16:00....shaking his head no while answering the questions with a positive or a yes is the clearest indication of lying...liars do it without even recognizing it. It's incredible how that works. I believe his tears are coming from his guilt from getting busted & his selfish fear of his reputation being ruined & everyone realizing who he truly is. He's so manipulative it's sickening.
It's minor but what struck me as odd was that he said he didn't want to go to the kennels because Maggie would make him do things. So he change his mind and went down there but does nothing. He just talks to Maggie quickly catches Bubba and leaves shortly thereafter without doing anything not even just hanging out. He didn't interact with Paul either.
Yes! I was thinking this too. It makes no sense at all.
Strange thing to say after Alex invited Maggie to Moselle in the first place. Their marriage was strained and Alex's father was dying, I see no reason for Maggie (who was suspicious of the invitation) to be making him do anything.
Most wives tell their husbands to do things they don't want to do.
@@traceejohnson290 Exactly! That's why I find it odd that he went down there yet ended up doing nothing even tho it was the reason he was dreading and prevented him from going in the first place.
Like I said that is minor and doesn't make him guilty.
he was callous about the chicken. no concern for living things.
I never saw or heard him crying when he was on the phone with his family members from jail. Never mentioned their name or said anything about missing them.
.
His brother told him on one phone call (over a month into his stay in jail) that the family had a somber moment together. The narcissist asked if they were sad overcmissing him or Maggie and Paul. That was the first time he mentioned their names and he asked about them after asking about himself, like an after thought. The brother was basically like uuuh obviously Maggie and Paul. I believe it was John Marvin that he was talking to.
You can almost see his nose growing!
He left the crime scene and came back and called after 10 pm-NOT 9 pm-what is his lawyer smoking?
This channel is the best! I watched it everyday because of camera angels and commentary. So happy he was found guilty as Charged Paul had insurance on his dad. Great closing!!
