      I was fascinated by that deputy. He attended the trial in street clothes, but at the sentencing he was wearing his deputy uniform. If the hash marks on his sleeve equal 3 years of service each (as in the military), he had ten of them, or 30 years of service. He got the job (perhaps honor) of being the closest deputy to AM. I don't know anything about being a deputy, but it seems to me that he is laser focused on the back of AM's head, if it moves, he pounces.

      Or, Appearances are everything. If you watch the Netflix doc you will learn how important appearances are.
      I believe that he was expecting that he was so experienced and intelligent and had laid the groundwork to frame up a whole classification of suspects (those angry about the boat crash) that he thought he would get away with it and 1) inherit everything coming to his family from his dad's death; 2) receive insurance money (it worked with the poor nanny); 3) be seen as sympathetic and reap rewards from that; 4) get his wife and son off of his back about "always working" and doing drugs and blowing their money (or prevent them from ever knowing about the embezzlement and other stuff); and lastly, 5) maybe could KEEP doing drugs in private? Maybe.

And he was a fixer and came from a privileged family for 100 years and he counted on that too.

It’s astonishing that he ever slept at night … I wouldn’t even be worried about the prison sentence if I were him~ I would be worried about what comes on the day he truly has to answer for what he has done…

It wasn’t until yesterday when he wore a sheriff’s (or whatever that is) uniform that I understood he was from law enforcement of some kind.
      It’s peculiar to me he turned out to be the bailiff because at one point about 3-4 weeks ago my computer screen would not show the bailiff’s face except with a gray face. No eyes, nose, mouth, anything. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen. Imagine the portrayals of the grim ripper, just a blank gray blob on top of his shoulders. I was so taken aback by it that I even showed it to my husband. Everyone around him had clear features, but he had none. Just a blank, gray head. It was disturbing to say the least. It’s interesting he is now full of emotive responses to the judge about AM’s actions. Perhaps he is a form of the grim reaper taking AM to the next place. All I know is that it was disturbing to me what my screen showed that day and I guess I am still a little bit perplexed by it.

Alex Murdaugh displays the signs of being psychopathic. This is something that can, to put it simply, run in families. His son, Buster, could have learnt a lot from Judge Newman's words but he appeared with an expression similar to his father and perhaps he wasn't listening.

    Anybody else notice the amazing sheriff seated right behind Alex in this sentencing? Probably a father and a grandfather reacting the way we all should. Shaking his head and scowling at a man that killed his son and wife for no reason at all. You should be impartial in that sort of role but we are all human and sometimes that over rules rationality. He already had money from robbing his clients.. the only motive in this case is psychopathy.

    Alec dressed in prison clothing as he should bring convicted of double homicide. Justice for Paul and Maggie.

    An incredible judge. It was the perfect sentence. Well done the jury and everyone involved in sentencing this pathetic and heinous excuse of a human being.

    This trial and the entire situation is so so sad. How can a person be so evil and not show one bit of remorse? My heart bleeds for Maggie and Paul's family. I just cannot imagine what went through Alex's mind to make him do such evil deeds. May God have mercy on his soul even though he had mercy on no one

      Alex is a monster in human form. There are a lot of them.

      Looking at Alex Murdaugh: He doesn’t show any remorse, for killing Maggie and Paul. He has the look, that if he could, he would murder someone again. Life in prison, is exactly what Alex Murdaugh deserves.

      You got it all wrong! You heard Alex! He would NEVER hurt Maggie & Pawpaw.
