Im an addict and his claim of taking 60 oxys a day is just complete bs. He's a real pos for blaming him murdering his family on his completely exaggerated addiction
Omg I was going to comment the same 😂
This dude is so full of it.
Who tf takes up to 100 pills/day???? Total and utter 🐂💩
Me too and the lie that Alex spent 500k on pills is absurd!
Ppl should note Alex's constant sniffing on the police videos. He was crushing those pills and the night of the murders, Alex was completely numb in the brain. He can barely keep a thought with all of that medicine 💊 dripping down his throat, while he is in the car with David.
When the judge handed down his sentence Alex Murdaugh stopped talking. The deceit, the depravity. Then he left the courtroom in silence. Thank God.
He started right back up again during the victims impact statements part. He talked for over 1.5 hours "concerned that his victims 'know' he cares about them and feels their pain. It was ALL about him assuaging his own guilt but the audience LET HIM do it!! Only one person walked out!! That tells us a lot about people, too.
"According to your new story..." Gets me every time.
Every time I watch this, more of Creighton’s strategy and excellence shines through. Creighton Waters please train others around you in your ways! The emotional intelligence and insight into Alex is incredible.
100 percent
100 percent
Prosecutor: "Let's talk about June 7th"
Cue the head bobbing and lip-smacking by the defendant.
It’s so cringe. I thought I was the only one that noticed. the lip smacking is literally repulsive
😓
U read my mind
Oh my god the lip smacking was horrible
I am still rewatching this trial. Unbelievable😮
"Yes, you hurt the people that you love I know." -Prosecutor lol
LoL his sarcasm is hilarious and spot on

When you lie, it’s harder to keep your story straight. Being married to him must have been a nightmare. Except for the cars, boats, houses. What a mess.
Honey she was one Of BILLIONS..men are bad news period
After listening to that 911 call about their housekeeper she seem to be involved and probably knew he was stealing . If someone fell down my steps and was bleeding out I would be way more panicked than she was .
@Linda K I'd be willing to say that Maggie probably knew her husband was a liar, but stayed for all the luxuries you've mentioned; sad, but it seems so many of these cases involve money and people living high on the hog these days; some pay the ultimate price for that stuff in the end!
@@charllerogers7068 If she was involved in something shady with the housekeeper falling, she wouldn’t have called 911 for help. She’d have let her die, to ensure the lady didn’t tell on her.
@@charllerogers7068 Not sure if she was involved, but there is no way she didn’t know who her husband really was.
Ive watched this 50 times. Im obsessed with it. Its easy to tell every time he lies.
Same. I heard something I hadn’t before. AM says ‘when Maggie asked me to leave.. I mean go with her…’. I wonder if that’s what happened; she asked him to leave the property and he snapped.
I've caught that as well. He told on him self right there. Every time I watch it I catch something else
Me, too. Hear new things every time.
And the lies….oh my goodness, so obvious
New to case me to. It really bothered me when he was talking about Paul. He had mentioned in his jail calls about the net fix series. He spends that time talking about Paul giving life advice to friends because it was in that series when Paul gives ridiculous advice. That’s your last thoughts on your son. The whole testimony was so unreal all about things that could be directly shown on data. Not a true event you are describing. The jury wanted a real person not a lawyer . The most hillariois thing in whole case is after he learns Maggie phone found and comes up with story of her coming up to house and a cat fleeing the scene with the phone to explain the data.
You still watching?
I also love watching closing arguments...epic
“go ahead, tell us about the friend that you stole from.” 😂😂😂😂😂
that was hilarious following him telling Alex that Barrett's life story wasn't necessary; I mean can you imagine how this prosecutor might talk to his kids; no bs for sure....lmao
@@toni3270 Creighton Waters is elite lol. I freaking loved watching him!
Genius
I started sliding down in my chair when he went off on the shrimper tangent, LMAO
Prosecutor: What did you do that day?
Alex: What did I do that day?
I hated that.. He would repeat to give himself more time to come up with an answer
What, what is a question? What is an answer? This is all too confusing to me.
Creighton Waters performed one of the greatest prosecutions of all time in this case, thank you.
He’s so good!! Love it!!
😊 2:01
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
What complete nonsense lol
I predict a ratio coming.
He had me laughing me how he had to repeat a question just to give himself enough time to conjure up some bullshit lie!!🙄🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I don't have any reason to dispute this comment! 😂
Ikr?! And the fact that he thinks we’re all too dumb to see through his shenanigans.
Yes a complete jerk
Brilliant testimony !
Condescending prosecution. I sat across the street watching my business living loft and all things involved. As for memory at that time, I wasn’t even sure if I had property insurance…just homeless with no income or potential of income. No money and looking for a a crappy rental that would accept me and 6 rescue pets.
Waters is prompting the dialogue ruthlessly.
Tell me I'm not the only who gets furious when he refers to the son he so cold bloodedly murdered as "Paw Paw".
You’re not. So cringy 😒
That’s the first thing I noticed while watching the WHOLE trial
DISGUSTING
Its the cringiest fuckin thing. Paw Paw, Mags, Bus, Ro Ro, Papa T, Bubba, blah blah blah. Oh boy does Alex think he's coming off so endearing and sweet. What a moron, it's nuts.
Tell me I'm not the only one who merely views this as entertainment and since the crime did not affect me in any way I don't care or didn't care if he was found guilty or not..
Dude literally never uses the nickname in any of the other interviews, but suddenly when he's on the stand he brings it out for sympathy. Disgusting.
17:55 Creighton Waters had me cracking up when he told Alex he didn't need to hear Barrett's life story....lmao; that man is one bad ass prosecutor; love his style!
You found that humorous also? Lol
Can you imagine Maggie knew all his evil ways! She & Paul were close. They knew Alex would leave the family. Look at the family photos. Buster is near Alex. Paul was always near Maggie in all the pictures! Sure Blanca found pills in Alex clothes pockets at occasions. Probably she heard some of Alex's phone conversations knowing they were shady! It's not like the family woke up as a surprise! Both Father & brothers tried to fix Alex for years! Pandora's box finally opened!!
It's too bad he can't, because he's an attorney, say "Do you mean the same man who was accused of using his shrimp boat to smuggle drugs? - but managed to wiggle out of legal trouble?"
The Barrett story told more than he intended.
He makes it clear he thinks omission isn't lying.
According to his story he ended up paying a bigger share on a real estate deal back in '08 or '09 so that justifies keeping ALL of the settlement owed to a man dying of cancer. A man who asked for help because he needed money for a motel so his wife could stay close by.
He seemed pretty self satisfied about it. Almost gleeful.
No stammering then. He even sat up straighter.
The fact that he thought it excused his theft, like being so petty was some type of justice -
It shows he's not just heartless but actively SPITEFUL.
ANGER and HATE in his heart.
@@annebiggins7180
Maybe the former long time housekeeper heard something she wasn't supposed to;
Or he saw her find something, like his drugs when she was just in the room to empty the trash - bad timing.
🤔 I think he pushed her.
Why? Because he didn't want dogs in the house.
Even Maggie being a dog lover didn't change the "no dog's allowed" policy.
In fact, if I heard right didnt the dogs have shock collars? Not just to keep them on the propety, but also out of the house.
“We can talk about anything you wanna talk about” doesn’t mean he’s going to tell you the truth.
Whew. Prime example of why clients should not take the stand in their own trial. Especially knowing they lie excessively.
I had to laugh when I read your comment. You are so right Prime!! lol lol
Honestly it helps, just not in his favor 😅
“I was getting ready to do what I didn’t wanna do” is SO telling
I thought the same.
I like how when the prosecutor asks about the dogs barking or being weird for anyone reason as if anyone else was around and he says "no why would they Noone else was around it was just us"there was noone else around for them to sense"
When was this part? I thought it was so telling when he his face got red when he was talking about Paul how someone hated him so much to do that to me that was his admission of guilt right there
He mentioned something too about a showering to get shot at the kennels
I believe he told on himself in a sarcastic way
The way he drags out EVERY SINGLE QUESTION is how he got so rich billing his clients by the hour. 😂
18:10 "go ahead tells us all about your friend you stole from" SAVAGE
He stole millions of dollars from his law firm and it wasn’t detected for 9 years? It sounds like someone wasn’t doing their job.
After hearing what the top accountant said…I think it is very easy to steal money in law firms because of the massive amount of millions they bring in.
Or every other lawyer does the same thing.
She wasn’t properly doing her job.
It’s generational privilege at play, his family have basically been the law in that county for over 80 years and nobody would be game enough to stand up to them. All of his lies only came undone once an outside agency got involved, don’t be surprised if more comes out in the future.
You’d be surprised, I work in insolvency, we had a bankrupt guy, financial controller who stole millions from his employer over circa 8 years before he got reckless and was caught.
The way he smacks his gums every 5 seconds is disgusting
43:16 He is doing it to add sound to fake tears 😢 to cue the jury.
42:48 gross!
Prosecuter: "Would you agree with x statement?"
AM: "If you have documents that prove that, I trust you, I don't dispute that."
Yes, this doesn’t help his credibility at all
Reminds me of Katherine Magbanua's answers in her trial. "If that's what the texts show"
Right! He’s ridiculous.
😂😂😂😂😂
you forgot to start with "Do i agree with x statement?" and then the answer.
Mr Waters was extremely effective in this prosecution and cross examination of this man. I think it's thr best I have ever seen. Well done you nailed him.
It’s weird, you can’t tell how a person will react to a tragedy where they’re innocent but you can still tell a fake
Question: what door did you go in?
AM: I would have gone in the front door.
Me: oh, so.. side door.
Yes, this whole case is looking for what is not there rather than looking for what is there.
A very bad decision to take the stand. Near the end, it all fell apart like lies always do. 😅
Cannot understand HOW his remaining son and his brothers are still on his side!
Because they are all criminals... Now that pieces of this family are being taken down piece by piece. There is way more to the brothers and Buster we don't know about.
He said he was on the phone with 911 while checking Paul, but 911 starts recording before anyone answers...he wasn't making a sound...you could hear dogs barking in the background, then as soon as the 911 operator answers he starts making crying sounds...I wonder why this wasn't mentioned in court.
Yes agree, I pondered over the same thought!
The question is, how could his firm not know he was ripping them off for years? They should have detected it a lot sooner.
And where is all the money? Can hardly wait for the rest of the trials about that,!
Yes how in the hell did nobody notice Alex's theft for that many years?
He had the position, the paperwork and the authority to finagle sons around that didn't at the time seem suspicious.. you can just look at his lifestyle and the fact he is raising two teenage sons as to where all the money went..
You're blaming everyone else but Alex. Do you even know what "ripping someone off" means?
Wow! He doesn't give a fuck!
It's interesting how he admitted he loved and cared about his clients that he manipulated, lied to and, hurt. Admitting he has the capability to put his feelings aside and do whatever he thinks is best for Alex.
Yes, he’s completely oblivious to the fact that we can all see him for the swindler he is. He’s not fooling anyone but himself.
Not once did this dude apologize to all the people he stole money from, and not once did he say on the stand, I want to find who's responsible for killing my wife and son and put them behind bars where they belong.
He really thought he could talk his way into a not guilty verdict.
Only a lawyer could say something like that. It's just a game for them, like playing poker with your friends. You don't feel bad about taking their money.
@@LunalovaniaGaming Well, I heard him apologize. But its easy to tell he was either lying or coached to say that.
@@RightProud And........if he could do that to people he cares for, what do you think he could do the ones he loves?? murderer. (^-^)
He keeps referring: In reading the documents, timeliness and GPS I would think....he's formulating his answers around the evidence. He's extremely detailed in the fluff..important questions: I would think, I don't recall, As I sit here today....Creighton has the patience of Job.
I was thinking the same thing! Well-said😊. @valmcgee2068
I prolly have 500k of the 1 million views 😂 this cross by Waters is GOLD!
I watched it more than you 501K
The smacking and pauses are cracking me up this guy is really crazy 😂
I was just thinking this and saw your comment 😂
@@luvbugcutie7071 I know it’s just too much. He’s on the stand trying to look like a real crack head lol!
😂🤣 he is. And his explanations🥴🤣🤣 You can tell the prosecutor is enjoying him make a fool of himself 😂
@@luvbugcutie7071 yes!!! The prosecutor is tearing him up!!! Am eyes look almost totally black especially when he is caught in a lie smh damn shame
Um um um um id like to smack the um out of his mouth
Zoom in when Alex is getting emotional. Not one tear. Then he reverts to a neutral tone with no after affects.
Dude is a sociapath.
No way should this narcissist have took the stand 🤦🏽♀️ his counsel should have quit.
If his attorneys had quit that would have given dick harpootlian more time in the South Carolina House of Representatives where he is a democratic member.. dick harpootlian, a Democrats Democrat
They literally begged him not to take the stand but as a sociopath/narcissist he could help himself. Even as a lawyer AM believed he could bullshit his way through it, what an idiot.
New drinking game idea......Everyone take a drink every time Alex Murdaugh says the words, "I BUH-LEEEEVE".....
I'd be blacked out within 25 minutes.
That's a lot of booze!
Imagine his son sitting there listening at how he lived with this junkie his whole life..mind blowing
I know that Buster knows when his father is lying. Buster got to be sweating bullets that he wasn't in the number. Swollen feet and all.😅
Right no wonder he had a drinking problem
The man has blue eyes, but they look black.
He has snake eyes
He is possessed.
So are Buster’s
@@curiousmind3118 I noticed that toooo!!!! Both have VERY creepy eyes!
Creepy AF
Don't know about anyone else but to me the most terrifying and scariest aspect to this guy has to be those soulless empty dark eyes of his that poor Maggie and Paul must of no doubt experience as well.
They were all murderers most likely
I’ve noticed that too
Man, he has creepy evil 👀, good discription there.
Yeah his eyes are pure black 😱 and we have heard his jail phone calls, this mild humble sad quiet man is NOT THE REAL HIM 😡
Look up Tengu Monks from the movie 47 Ronin with Keanu Reeves you'll see Alex Murdaugh....I showed the phone of the Tengu Monk and he said yes it does look like him. I was trying to remember who Alex Murdaugh reminded me of and then it hit me.
I'm so sick of him saying paw paw to gain sympathy. My gosh
The fact that he clearly struggles throughout this cross-examination indicates his guilt. An innocent man's truthful testimony would have flowed flawlessly, yet this is actually painful to watch because he is a guilty man consciously trying to cover his tracks.
He thinks he can manipulate anyone but met his match
I don`t think it`s painful to watch ..... I enjoyed his pain at trying to squirm out of his guilt and failing miserably. He stole the money awarded to a crash victim who was left a quadriplegic .... it`s hard to get lower than that.
I am delighted he will rot in a maximum security box for the rest of his days.
Totally agree!
He's a slippery slimy weasely snake.
I totally agree , he thinks he has bamboozled the Prosecutor, but the Prosecutor is shining a light on his character for the juty to plainky see ..
All this time and he still doesn't even remember to pretend he cares about catching "the real killers".
Not even to throw people off.
My thoughts exactly you would think an innocent man would say something like who killed my family there’s no evidence that anyone else was ever there especially with all those dogs the dogs would be going crazy if someone else was on the property
Especially with all his gabbing!
Omg you win the comments.. your so right!
What sealed his fate for me, besides the kennel video, was when Alex said there was noone else there according to him AND the dogs....BUSTED YOURSELF....
Sheri Corder. To me, what is ironic is that he blamed a dog for the maid death AND a DOG DOOM HIM !!!!
Yeah. I was wondering if he says he didn't do it but there was no sign of anyone else "the dogs didn't know" then who could have murdered his wife and child? Wonder if the jury caught that line.
That definitely was the nail in the coffin?
@@emmaa245I wonder if the maids death made him feel confident and balsy to kill again. I wonder if that's when he started plotting his wife and sons death
I hate when he calls Paul Paw Paw . No time for cute little nick names . He’s a psycho
There's no other video of Alex ever using that name for Paul.
He instantly, during paranoia, adjusted the timeline specifically.
"I was at my moms house about an hour hour and a half, and I saw them about 45 minutes before that."
The math isn’t mathing 😂
I find it hard to believe this is the 3rd time I’ve watched this entire cross-examination. Still riveting.
This man was found guilty already but I still watch the videos lol. I’m obsessed. The cross examination is amazing… watching him just lie is amazing as well. No one else killed them but him
BS…prove what Alex lied about. Amazes me how everyone wants justice but thugs get by with crap everyday.
@@neilunderwoodcoo295 Alex Murdaugh lied about his activities on the day that murders accrued. He lied to his clients for decades. He lied to his law partners. He is the one who incriminated himself and sent himself to jail.
I watch it every night to make sure I didn’t miss anything in the trial lol he’s just absolutely SICKKKK
@@neilunderwoodcoo295He IS a thug. 😂
When the officer asks him what he saw, and he says body pieces or whatever...there's no way anyone would say that.
When Paul’s brain was beside him
This guy cannot answer the simplest of questions, always long winded, saying nothing. Tiresome
He is trying to describe drug addiction but he has no clue. He is not a addict
I have watched this cross examination many times now and in my opinion there is only one word that fully describes this person “ DESPICABLE “!
You'd not be a fan of the Thesaurus, then!?
I have also, it is great entertainment! Waters and Alex in a great sword fight, the former is truth and justice, the latter,Deceit and Death.
Selfish too
But even the despicable deserve a fair trial! This man didn't get one
@@andrewjames8980 Yes he did .
The way the prosecution team was just staring at him, they’re probably thinking this man is just ridiculous with his lies and just looks at him with fixation while he was lying is just priceless to me.
Even some of the males sitting on his family’s side one of the guys is listening and then looks back at other family members, they know he’s lying.
I also like how Walters just relentlessly reminds him how he’s changed his story giving new information constantly.☺️☺️

😮 I also saw that somewhere. their legacy was worth more Than his grandson.😢
He never said “get rid of Paul”. 🙄
@@Iamsam-jl5fn
It was said that a staff person overheard him saying it at the hospital when Alex was visiting him. Because he had caused the family a lot of money and trouble. He was the reason Alex was being sued for all that money. Had he lived they would have taken him for almost everything. By him dying the cases were closed and they were no loner be sued. I believe it was mentioned in one of the documentaries that he had said this more than once years ago.
@@mkay4j330 he said “Take care of Paul”.
We have heard his jail phone calls, this mild humble sad quiet man is NOT THE REAL HIM 😡
I love how Alex takes a long time to answer questions and goes on and on about irrelevant details to try and limit the time the prosecutor has to ask more hard questions.
Didn't get him anywhere in the end, now did it?
@@aqualisa I'm so relieved the jury convicted this liar, thief and murderer.
He repeats the questions when he's trying to think of an answer. Wonder how many times he questioned people and they did the same thing
@@marshapieroni6677 he’s too dumb to know that it’s not effective 😂
@@marshapieroni6677 master multi-tasker over here
I think Alex M thought he was just gonna admit how bad he lied, and he’d walk away.
It’s incredible how a person can kill and don’t have remorse
Especially his wife and child!!!
I would have remorse even if it was self defense. It would just stay in my head...This Is a diabolical being.
@@colenexoxo8939 He stole millions and just sits there telling lie after lie after lie
He did not start pretend crying until the 911 operator picked up
He had multiple houses, boats, all kinds of things he could have sold to pay back his debts and he just kept stealing and borrowing money. Just proves how selfish he is. Also, it’s sad that the bank kept giving him loan after loan because of his name and who he was but a regular person nowadays can barely get a credit card in their name never mind a small bank loan to open their own business or pay off some debt. What a sad fucking country we live in
Big facts. The distance between a normal lower/middle class person and the rich is extreme. It always annoys me when poor defend the rich lol so brainwashed they fail to see reality or the American dream of thinking we’ll all be rich someday somehow lol
I never could buy a home or land. He had so much land he doesn't know what to do with it. O kill hogs!!!
He's not guilty of anything --- the pills are. So, why should he pay anything back? He's a victim too.
@@mnpd3, addiction doesn't absolve someone of the consequences of their actions. When someone is addicted and kills someone, they can't use that as a defense, so why should he be able to?
That shit still wouldn’t have covered the millions he stole are you thinking before you tap the alphabets on your phone ? Not even a dent in fees
If there was ever proof of the existence of evil, it would be this guy personalised
Along with Darrel Brooks, the Christmas parade murderer and his disgusting courtroom antics.
Personified
Agreed
He never gives a direct to anything. He always qualifies everything with “I think” “I believe”.
i fall asleep to this
😂😂😂
This man is crazy saying he wanted to sit down and come clean. He has done nothing but argue.
If I were his attorney, I would have said,”Your honor, I am confused as shit.”
🤣🤣🤣, He kind of appeared that way in that questioning he did with AM, I mean Jim, it fell like cross instead of redirect exam and I got the impression that he was done with Am and didn’t want him getting away with murder .
😂😂😂😂😂
That's the point.
Sow reasonable doubt. And it backfired big time 🤣
Lmaoooo facts man. Like every time he spoke I was like whaaaat
😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 🤣
Looking at his lawyers faces you can tell he going to prison for life! 😂😂😂😂😂
Worst lawyers EVERRRRR! Were they even criminal attorneys?! I think one was like a probate lawyer or something
These are like the conversations I had with my ex- narcissist. Circular BS, along with word salad. Lies said in a nice way that on the very surface sound half believable. These people are wired differently from other humans!!
He didn't get off the golf cart, then quickly change his story because he took the chicken from the dog. Twisted lies.
Not human!!!
Sick. And it seems like they think nobody's onto them because they're SO SMART 🙄
See how he lies, reels back, acknowledges his lies, and then lies again.
He should run for
Congress
So smoothly and effortlessly, glad he took the stand as we got to know the real AM.
This is so much fun to watch and rewatch
Absolute sickening that he would steal from someone who died. The man has no conscious and I believe his whole family is like him in some way.
Sickening that he stole from someone that died ????
He blew his Wife and Kid away with a Shotgun and Assault Rifle.
His actions remind me of someone who has struggled with a severe case of micro penis his whole life.
@@UndersackitchFungalbollockTake that poor Pfeiffer syndrome kid off your profile!
Yeh, evil.
Especially his brother John Marvin
How can he sit up there justifying he cares and loves his clients after robbing them?
Let me re-phrase for AM: "He cares and love's his clients "SETTLEMENTS" so much he has to steal them!
Did the dogs act liked they sensed someone was around they didn’t know? “There was no around the dogs didn’t know” Case closed.
Maybe whomever helped him, the dogs were familiar with them
This man could not tell the truth about the color of grass.
Great to have CZcams comments. We got collective wisdom here from every episode of CSI and NCIS!
His story about Barrett really gives you a good look into who he really is. I'm sure he justified murdering Paul & Maggie too in his own sick twisted way. He believed Barrett owed him something when it wasn't Barrett's fault that he lost $. I believe he is a sociopath who has strings attached to anything he does. I truly believe he thought of his family just like these land deals. They were only making him lose and he had to get rid of them.
Your exactly right. He will never shed a tear over his Son, Paul after that Kennel video came out and sealed his fate. That alone is exactly how he justifies the murder. I bet he will ever be enraged over it.
It’s sad and I don’t understand why or how psychopaths are wired. Does it happen at birth, just some mutation where their minds are wired that way? Does it happen in childhood? Regardless, it’s scary how easily they can justify or lack any remorse for what they do. Not all psychopaths murder people, but it’s scary how they have no conscience at all. 😨
@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468 Some are born that way. Some are made. My brother is a sociopath, a pathological liar & narcissist. He's in prison. It's scary because they aren't fully understood by everyone & they try to mimic normal folks & hide amongst us while doing awful things. Without conscience or moral compass is a perfect assessment.
@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468a famous psychiatrist studied these ppl and found that indeed it is wired in the brain, severe child abuse, and perhaps head trauma.
Paul was getting death threats yet Alex states Maggie should have been safe as she could be with Paul. He is a walking contradiction.
Yep, great point
What a complete utter narcissist. Thinks he can break down the prosecution by with mumbling, and trying to destroy evidence. He has no idea that his testimony is just falling to pieces!
My dad passed away in May 19th 2018 my husband received a call from my grandmother at around 12pm. He came back in told me my father had passed away suddenly from a unexpected heart attack. The last time I talked to my father was May 17th at 2am he had just gotten back home from the local bar and I remember almost every word of our conversation, not knowing it would be the last time I talked to him. I can recite our text messages from the week before he died so no I do not believe him. Was it because I kept playing those things over in my head repeatedly trying to figure out if I had missed something or because it was all I had left was our words, probably both. So no I do not believe he doesn’t remember what his last words were to his wife and son. What bullshit.
You know and I am sorry for your loss. This guy should have gone crazy. Been running around looking for whoever did it if it wasn't him. He is toast.
@@TR-IRL thank you, and yes I mean I was trying to find someone to blame for my dads death just because I wanted/needed a reason to understand why it had to be someone’s fault I was a emotional wreck for months because of it being so unexpected. If I really thought my dad killed my mom and brother I would try to kill him or interrogate him to find out if he did it. Why was Maggie’s sister still having friendly contact with Alex after this how? Usually family members in situations like this usually go straight to the spouse I’ve watched alot of 48 hours and dateline to know. How is there not any anger or speculation within the family.
I've been there, bless you 🙏
On March the 11th it will be 34 years my dad died and I can still remember what time it was and what the weather was like and most of all our last conversation.
My dad passed away may 30,2012 & to this day I remember our last conversation the night before he passed away
“Could have gone to the gun room”…bet he didn’t mean to say that!
Or when he said I went bcos Maggie told me to go …
Also when he said "I was getting ready to do what I didn't want to do."
@@juliamorgan4878 I noticed that too then he said work like he was playing a game with them
@@juliamorgan4878 he was getting ready to "sweat" is what he said😂
@Domo Domo yeah, he had to backtrack and cover his mistake. I mean, who says that, in real life..
Richard Dreyfus would be the natural choice to play the prosecutor in the film.
Spot on!
Yeah, I can see it!
@john adams, I agree.....lmao
Can't wait to see the movie
No 1 else 😂
Can we all agree that the dog and Paul helped to bring this murderer to light coz without the dog catching the chicken, AM voice wouldn’t have been caught on that kernel video. He used the golf cart to go down there leaving his phone behind and used 2 guns to throw off investigations. Without that kernel video he would have gotten away with it.
Who’s Paul? You mean Pau Pau?
Pau Pau who was videoing Ro Ro’s dog…
Jesus took the wheel that nite when Paul made that snap chat video… Mr. Waters has been a true leader threw this whole case. Absolutely brilliant
@@karenmegert5872 yes I agree he has been brilliant, and Poot was huffing and puffing trying to keep up with him and Jim pretty much had thrown in the towel with that last cross rebuttal 😂😂😂 . glad Waters he let AM talk his way to jail.
Alex should have stayed at the Paw Paw Patch instead of what he did
Mark Tinsley was one of the most intelligent, articulate and honorable men to testify. He cares for his clients. He even said that Alec’s lawyer Tiller was his friend. That wasn’t very smart to make it seem like Mark was lying about the lawyers conference and Alec approaching him regarding the boat case. I believe Mr. Tinsley.
Yes, you can see he does care for his clients.
It's sickening listening to him in police interview's just using Maggie and Paul in describing his wife and son but yet in the witness box in front of the jury calling them his pet name's Mag's and Paw Paw as if it make's him look like the loving husband. Sick SOAB.☘
I thought it was especially crazy the way he would wipe the no tears from his eyes but yet he would let's not run down his nose without even wiping it. I think he did that because he couldn't work up any real tears. I mean the snot got all the way down to his chin and he didn't wipe it.
His snorting would drive me crazy
"I called 911 and talked to her and told her i was going to get off the phone and call some people" ~
So he did an entire 911 call while finding something unbelievably horrific, doesn't say what he's seeing, holding a phone in one hand tried to "take his pulse" (which he didnt do) then still using only one hand tried to turn him over, "I figured it out" which is when the phone "popped" out of his pocket, still using one hand and not telling the 911 operator exactly what he sees, says he picked up Paul's phone, "thinking maybe, but then I decided no, something and decided not to, put it back down on the ground- - all still using one hand?
He said "They were shot"
Hahaha… so true.
That part. Called out the method of homicide immediately.
The conviction surprised me - UNTIL I saw his full testimony. OMG the lies. The guy cant answer anything straight. He is a pathological liar, a narcissist and a depraved human being for killing his loved ones.
If he think he was smarter than everyone else and not take the stand he may have beat this case. At first i thought he wasn't guilty because everyone said his marriage was great and he spoiled his kids. By listening to him scamming his business partner and his clients that's when i said he's a piece of s***. He said he loved and cared about all these people even the ones he took ever dime from. If that's love, i definitely don't want to be one of the people he hates.
I'm just really curious about all that money... what was he doing with all?!?! Amazing!
@@DanielMulloy-bg6gw he was a big spender on drugs and he had 2 private island, hunting cabin, beach house, several cars and boats, he also was in real estate owned severa properties. Living a Rockstar life
Thank God for Paul's videotape!! And the jurors said when they went as far to the house as they thought it was by the aerial views Of the property
@@jaydenjenkins1006he only loved himself
I no longer feel like a loser after seeing this.
😂😂😂😂😂
To be a thief is unbelievably horrible and greedy. To be an habitual liar is really bad, but to kill your wife and son, is subhuman. He’s ruined his family name forever.
That's what unchecked power does, it corrupts
@@wjb4578 absolutely.
Their last name should be changed to Murdaugh-ers. Dad and both sons have killed ppl.
His boys ruined their name remember, the boating accident stirred the pot then that lead to the Steven case to be looked into which lead them to have Alec shot in the head, which lead to Roberta's death being looked into. That family had blood all over their hands.
Family name should be his least care! Being a double murderer might just be a little more important. Don't you think?
The only things he admitted to are the only things that can be proven! What a shame.
👍👏💯.
That's a fact, Jack.
Exactly
I find this case so ironic. Attorney/Prosecutor against an Evil Attorney. These kinds of psychopaths are everywhere in life and shockingly even within the law system itself. Truly makes one wonder who can you can trust anymore. What a scary world we live in.💔
Agreed - basically trust only yourself and no one else ultimately.
@@caterinascarcella Yes!
For the love of money is the root of all evil. No matter what gender race career background.
I agree
I agree with you totally!
He does not "agree" with anything. He just doesn't dispute it. The simple fact that he can sit on the stand under oath and say that he looked these people that he cared about in the eye while still stealing from them shows how capable he is of committing the murders of his loved ones. I'm sure he looked Paul and Maggie in the eye at least for both of their first shots.
Im not saying this piece of garbage isn’t guilty as sin, but your statement is like saying every con man and thief that looked their victim in the eye at some point is capable of murder and that’s just nonsense
@@Kylek323 They didn't say every con man or thief, it's this thief/murderer they are referring to.
@@Kylek323 I was talking about looking the people in the eyes that he stole millions from. He claimed to care about and love them too. Some were piiss poor, and one a quadrapalegic. If he looked them in the eyes and still took the only money they would have had to live on then why would he not be capable of murdering his wife and son who he also loved.
@@Kylek323 if I meant every con man and thief I would have stated it in my comment. I haven't watched any other con man/thief/ murderer trial except this one and don't lump people together. I'd have to watch others then decide if in my view I thought they were capable of their crimes they had been convicted of.
@@Is_this_a_skit reread your statement again, it sure sounds like that’s what you were saying to me
Every time he lies, he stutters.
Everything he projects is an act designed to elicit a certain mindset in the listener/viewer. Since he has no conscience the acts are not based on emotion, but by imitating how he's seen others act. He's intellectually as sound as anyone, and feigns remorse based on how he believes others would act when remorseful. The stutter and uneasiness are a deliberate act. He wants sympathy by painting himself as a victim of a third party - the pills.
I can’t decide if it’s more lucrative to be an ambulance chaser or drug dealer? This is insane.
Does anyone else find the irony of the sirens that are often in the background? It seems like they go off when he openly admits something and then everyone kind of waits for the sirens to pass, which gives additional emphasis.
Kool beans
17:46 “He was a shrimper…” I’m cracking up how attorney Waters told him we didn’t need to hear Barrett’s life story 😂 Alex is a talker. It’s easy to see how he stole millions by lying and manipulating people with his words. He’s a skilled storyteller. He’s also dangerously diabolical and greedy.
This is probably tru. But why would he hated all humams? And especially his beloved family
You nailed it
Then when Alex insists on telling them about Barrett the dude says well
go ahead and tell us, tell us about your good friend that you stole from 🤣🤣🤣
Q
@@jennygangspeaksThat was funny😂 and he made him self look really bad by attempting to justify his theft
Him wiping those fake tears was absolutely ridiculous
This man is infuriating. He can never just answer the question he is pure evil
Ikr smh he makes me sick knowing he is a lie😡
I don’t know how the jury sat through all this mind without losing their minds!
He’s buying time with long winded answers to think of a response
Man, this guy has no clue of what time he did anything. Unbelievable , literally.
Also, "when I got up from taking a nap, If I took a nap". "when I got up from laying on the couch, If I was laying on the couch". "when I went across the hall, If I went across the hall". "the video ended at 8:45:45, I said good bye and was back at the house at 8:49:00 but I don't think it was that long" "I have no idea what time I got home, went to work, Paw Paw showed up, or Maggie got home". " I thought I heard them drive up , but I don't believe they drove up" .
Holy christ , I'd give him life just for talking like that. In fact I thing that kind of talking pissed everyone off so much, no wonder they came back quickly with a verdict. This guy convicted himself just for talking like a mental case.
He talks exactly like jodie freakin arias...🙄🙄🤢🤮🤮🤮
😂😂😂😂😂I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING!!!
It’s lawyer speak. Not grieving husband and father. He thought he could out talk the prosecution.
Can you imagine if Mr Waters had cross examined OJ.
I'd have paid to watch that!!
Shows the sheer incompetence of the defense to allow this man to testify. I don't believe he answered any question with a 'yes' or 'no' answer - he always provided some kind of context with every rebuttal.
The defence can't stop him. They can only advise him which I have no doubt they tried to stop him
Trouble with him he's a narcissist and thinks he's smarter than anyone else!!!
I read that they tried everything they could to stop him. They knew it wasn’t a good idea. The defense didn’t have a chance the moment that kennel video surfaced
He's doing his level best to maintain control of this cross-examination. Can anybody see what he's doing? A typical narcissist!
Why did he even testify?!🥴
He thought he could cast a shadow of doubt - if there was even a smidge of doubt by juror he’d walked free. Unfortunately he didn’t know about the on star data or the phone recording him
‘Maggie’s the dawg lover, she fools with the dawgs’ piece of work
Obfuscate is a word I have never used before nor could I spell or pronounce it , but Alex Murdaugh knows it every which way , the dictionary explains it as " intending to conceal the truth by confusion " I think the jury were aware of this and could see this guy talks with a forked tongue .
In a non-legal setting that gift of gab works wonders though. I use it daily
Playing dumb is universally used to get out of trouble. Almost everyone does it
He’s obviously lying. He knows a lot more than what he says
