All these good friends in law enforcement are a big problem for justice! Did you remove firearms from the property? Did you know you're big bro was a drug addict? Did you report his addiction or theft from his clients? Did you at anytime remove property from the property? Were you attempting to steal from victims? The whole family is a pack of liars and criminals that think they are above the law.
There’s a video a lay person took from his drone thinking he was going to see law officers working at mozel. But he videoed AMs brothers taking lots of guns out of the house! It’s on the documentary.
Their own “good ‘ol boys club” 🤨
@@fbksakskier grammar is very important not who is the killer!
@@ruthfoss8463what documentary?
Hey, let’s not support ratting out our brothers lol
Why was this whole family allowed to be at a crime scene like it was a Super Bowl party or something WTAF!!!!?????
i think maybe a deliberate ploy by alex to taint the crime scene and get off with a double homicide
White privilege and connections.
Because LE gave them a pass because of who they were
Alex did it to mess up the scene. His family removed evidence.
Doesn't matters. Evidence clearly shows Alex was there! People coming to house much later does change the phone tracing steps. His lies etc. A smoke screen .
If you haven't watched the Netflix doc on this family - go do it immediately. Absolutely jaw dropping and the whole "aw shucks" attitude of this family is just way too much.
I watched it, but taking it with a grain of salt. I like to hear both sides of the story. The truth usually lies in between.
Nexflx just remember acting and actors getting paid. Only God knows Alec FAITH. Rip Maggie and Paul Malory.
Judge not you be judged...
@@Seashellsbytheseashore21 Not when there’s that many bodies.
I saw a Dateline documentary about the boat crash long before the Netflix one came out. This family ran that town and did whatever they wanted. I don’t believe a word any of them say.
So, when Alec called his brother, he said “come over, it is bad” but didn’t say “OMG Maggie and Paul have been murdered”…?
Alex sees Paul's brain on the ground and says, "Son, you are hurt bad."
1:37
You are not found guilty of what you didn't say.
I don't get the significance of this... What's wrong with saying, "Come over, it is bad" ...? You are calling a family member over to tell them something extremely traumatic and sad, in person-"Come over, it is bad." Seems pretty normal, akin to "I need to speak with you" when you know something serious is about to be said.
I knw if thay was me I would be distracted saying omg ny sons and husband are dead there dead...not oh its bad..come fast..its like alex didn't want anyone asking him nothing yet
I still find it hard to understand why everyone was not told to park cars on the road and that whole area was not cornered off as a crime scene. Not letting anyone in that area until it was investigated. This whole thing was not handled correctly.
Because I really believe even the police department are scare of them . They know in their gut that he killed the wife and child.
@@elizabethvelez6966 absolutely. I feel that they were in total shock and uncertain how militant they are @allowed“ to be, lest they will get fired.
Southern "Good Ole Boys" coverning up for da man. I believe he showered off out doors and got rid of the clothes, then went in and showered, put on some old worn shorts and a tee. He killed them.
SCSLED really screwed up. Nobody should have been on that property except LE.
Alex did say he is friends with alot of LE
Why isn’t the entire police department being investigated?!?!
True, this was serious incompetence, and they will be largely to blame for the hung jury or acquittal that results from this. There is only a limited, crucial period of time during which the crime scene may be processed.. They didn't really bother. Too late now. Even if the state brings the case a second time, you can't go back and do a redo with the crime scene. They hardly looked into much of anything, and it affects the entire system: Prosecutors are now fumbling around trying to prove Alex did it without evidence (lol), defense is poking holes in everything, public trust in this backwoods law enforcement is low. It is bad for justice when cops are so sloppy and lazy.
@@Accuratetranslationservices they lied to Grand Jury. not just sloppy but intentionall manufactured evidence to have alex indicted. Agent owens lied to grand jury and prior to that personally went to the lab to have them change the report on blood on the shirt report from contact blood into blood splatter of high velocity. completely should have been thrown out when you start like that.
Can't that family just answer the question... yes or no. Why are they allowed to babble on for hours. Special treatment again.
Drives me nuts
they are sticking to the script.
"It could be, I don't remember, its possible, I don't think so, maybe, I don't know, now that I think of it, I mean I can't say for sure, I suppose, I guess you could say" etc. On and on with these guys.
Your right!! Babblers
Marcia i kept saying the same thing! Judge Judy would shout.thats a yes or no answer!!!!
JMM gets a call that something "terrible" has happened to Maggie and Paul and he takes a old beat up truck to Moselle instead of his wife's vehicle bc she needs to take kids to school the next day?..something terrible has happened you wouldn't give a flying flip if kids miss the entire month of school..
That’s exactly what I thought. And I’ll tell you something else, I’m not dropping everything on the ridiculous vagueness of “something terrible” has happened. Spill it! Now!! My mind goes right to the worst possible scenario-and it’s usually not that bad, even though this time it was.
@Stacy Martinez ..exactly..my mom died of massive heart attack in my presence and I was ALL over her doing cpr for 20 minutes, i was completely distraught, but i was able to tell every second of what happened that day ..ur brain does not make up lies during a trauma
That might have been a slip. Who takes a vehicle not running or half running to a catastrophic scene miles away.. Reason........kids have to get to school in the good car the next day. That good running car would have been used in a family crisis.
He wanted the police to take him .
I think even my six year old nephew would know no one is allowed to wander onto or clean up a crime scene...
He said he didn't know if he could go into a crime scene. He makes a call to seek permission. He gets it, then proceeds to alter a crime scene.
If the crime scene has been released by law enforcement, the family is free to hire professional Crime Scene Cleanup or clean up themselves if need be. Right?
it's common sense! no body needs university degree to know that you shouldn't clean crime scene!
WHY ON EARTH WOULD HE CLEAN UP A MURDER SCENE?!?!
Because he loved his nephew and felt Paul deserved more respect than to just leave his bits of body out in the open.
Who do you think is going to clean up a crime scene 🧐? Do you think it's the Cops job??
He told you why! Did you not listen. He felt Paul deserved more. I’m assuming the scene had been cleared and someone had to clean up the body parts. I suppose they could have called someone but he felt he deserved better. Now maybe you don’t believe him but he does give his answer.
to cover for Alex
Him wanted to honor Pau Pau 🙄 More important him wanted to cover for his murderous brother. He’s been Alex’s bitch his entire life. After the HBO Doc, it’s certain…..they’ll ALL rot in hell.
Serious familial liars. This is the same brother who was caught by drone removing guns from the house@Moselle.
He was what? Are you kidding me!! How many guns did he remove and when?
Exactly , the famous family , I don’t know , or I promise you or I don’t remember , really ! Your brother is guilty point blank
@@lindapoore7608 Eric Alan in his documentary recorded it and the footage is shown in the Netflix documentary.
Yes he and Buster were the ones on the drone footage!
@@liajackson2538 saw it. They are all disgraceful
48 hrs now has documentary
It's on U-tube
Haven't watched it yet but will later.
The brother seems to be much more convincing about being grieved and genuinely shocked about these murders than Alex does. Many of the other friends and family members as well. I hope the jury sees that.
I guess blood is thicker than the law or morality.
He's been referred to as the black sheep, maybe it's because he has feelings.
@@Ieezeca Perhaps because he isn't in the family business.
he sounds much more genuine than his brother
I think he's just a good liar, too. Isn't he the brother who towed the boat (him and Maggie per the Netflix documentary) from the scene after Mallory Beach died while it was still an open investigation? I think he also went to the hospital with Alex and their dad, the night of the boating accident, and was trying to keep the other kids from talking about what happened so as not to implicate Paul. This whole family seems crooked and like they will do/say whatever to make a problem go away.
Dang he sounds just like his brother.
A bunch of talkers, they think they are so important. I would despise living their corrupt lives. I can breathe easy knowing I haven't lied or scammed disabled people.
I agree there should be a protocol to have someone clean up crime scenes for families.
Normally companies which specialize in cleaning crime scenes. Big job, very in depth cleaning with proper chemicals, etc... interesting procedure...
There’s companies that specialise in that in every state to my knowledge. Unfortunately they are not free services though
That’s what we have in Canada
Trauma scene cleanup
My husband does this type of work
The family should never have to see or clean these scenes 😢
My Aunt lived about three hours from Columbus and an hour from Cleveland and when her son blew his brains out they had to get a cleaning company from Columbus neighbors offered but had to give up it was just horrific my cousin was only sixteen his older brother was supposed to take him to practice driving but told him no because he could tell his brother was high on something, he came back in a few hours and if we wasn't hi on anything he was gonna go ahead and take him but when he opened the bedroom door it was horrific and turned around and the parents had just gotten home from work the mom didn't go in the room they didn't let her but the dad and older son were never the same after that.
@@zonadaniell4584 Exactly! What the heck happened in this situation?
INVESTIGATE THE WHOLE MURDAUGH BLOODLINE! EVERYBODY RELATED TO THEIR CORRUPT GRANDPA AND GREAT GRANDPA ! U NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY GOT AWAY WITH TOO !
I’d be tempted to review all cases involving AM. Who knows? - there might be more skeletons in that closet.
@@susanyoung6632 no doubt in that
@@susanyoung6632 not just Alex. The whole family. They called their dad/gpa whenever they got in trouble. And the older ones called great gpa. I'm talking everything that happened for the last 100 years.
Amen
If I'm not mistaken on the Netflix series someone speaks of them owning property and a tombstone is on one of the properties, PLUS SEVERAL other graves but they had no tombstones. Then they spoke that it's no telling how many ppl has come up missing since the beginning of their law firm from generations back. I think that's one of properties he was about to loose not sure and he wasn't going to let that happen. I always say to research something when I hear ppl saying stuff because I want proof and I want to be corrected if I'm wrong.
If I were Brooklyn’s parent I would do everything in my power to get her away from this mess. Buster already has been thrown out of law school- whole family lacks integrity.
Probably will now since their skint
I'm not so sure about him as well
He did? How did I miss that? When and how/why did he get thrown out of law school?
@@XXX-cq9uj plagiarism
Buster had no affect. He acts like robot. Since this trial he acts like he doesn’t give S-t. Paul was treated badly by the family including Maggie. He was the spare and all glories were to Buster. Paul was very lonely and that’s why he drank so much. I think paul was
already showing signs of health problems. He was 22 and had swollen feet and hi blood pressure. He was supposed to go to doctor. I think his liver was already damaged.
After someone finds their wife and child dead, do they tend to call over several people to the scene of the crime? I’m thinking he did that on purpose as part of his plan. Get people all over that place to muddy up the crime scene or at least make it look that way.
Yep! Spot on!👍🏽
I don’t like it. Reminds me of Jon Benet Ramsey. Same thing happened with Idaho4.
Absolutely
That would be the last thing I would be doing. It’s shady as crap. I wouldn’t want anyone else added to that scene. He knew this and this is precisely why he did it. It was to intimidate the police department.
Exactly!!
Just beyond poor police work that the entire property wasn’t secured from all traffic except investigators. Totally blown investigation.
Such a corrupted police work.
Reminds me of the Jonbennet Ramsay case when all their friends were invited to the house and the house was full by the time police arrived. Great tactic!
Agree
I live in Colleton County... the cops here are not only horrible at their jobs, but they're also horrible people and corrupt AF. No one trusts them. No one likes them. They're the biggest gang in the county.
You have Alex on video at the murder scene what more do you need. And him lying about being there.
Just look how alec Murdoch took over the boat incident how he went to the hospital to intimidate everyone involved
All this reaching out to police & lawyers was enabling The Murdaugh family to cover up!
Yes and hold them accountable. If rude to a teacher read them the riot act. Make them finish what they start.
This brother is not a good liar at all 😂😂😂
If this guy said One and one are two
I wouldn't believe him
Agree
fake fake fake
Interesting that he contacts the police chief for back-up transportation. Police vehicles, fuel, officers are funded by taxpayers for public protection, not private taxi or limo service for the rich.. Is there no Uber? No buddy? Or call your spouse like the rest of us.
According to Randy Murdaugh: "I see words like 'dynasty' used, and 'power, but we're just regular people that are working hard and trying to do right." Yeah, right.
Yea imaging getting an 30 minute escort by the chief of police. I guarantee you the rest of us want be so fortunate.
Omg. Yemassee area too rural uber
Just another example of the entitlement this entire family felt.
I thought the exact same thing
He's not telling the complete truth. He would've known if there were guns in the truck . He's also lying about the time frames
This family is gross and I don’t feel sorry for them! I feel sorry for all the people and the community affected by this families crap over the past century!
Right! Every last one of them got away with alot of shxt AND U KNOW IT! maybe not murder but they did whatever they wanted without repercussions. Generations and generations of family. 🤢
Agree
Wow!! Like you all know so much
ANYBODY that has a shred of empathy for these duplicitous/mendacious, money-hungry, status-chasing, low country lowlifes has certainly not looked into Hakeem Pinckney and his story of horror.
@@badmoonrising_007Thank you. These people are so silly and emotional
Family has $500k in guns and a farm truck that can’t drive 2 miles
I don't get why everybody and their dog thought they needed to go to Mozelle, especially the next day. Wouldn't it be the last place you would want to congregate hours after your loved ones were brutally murdered? I just find it odd. Most of them were lawyers...they know they're messing up a crime scene.
They have no reason to worry about "messing up" a crime scene. They can do as they like. A powerful family, four generations of no consequences.
The Ramsey technique
You don't get it? See JonBenet case for reference...
HE CLEANED UP A CRIME SCENE?!!!!!! GTFOH IS THIS REAL LIFE?!!!!! lock him up too! I told u the whole family is corrupt!!!
He was allowed to at the time he cleaned up.
Who else would clean it up?
@@waylan6105 OF COURSE he was "allowed to" . Since when can u clean up a crime scene the very next day!????
@@reddirtfury1784 THE MURDAUGHS
His performance deserves an academy award. 👏💐
Why was he allowed to clean the crime scene,UNBELEIVABLE
Because they own the property. It's their choice to hire out a cleaning company or do it themselves. Simple.
Allowed to-- you're required to clean up crime scene. Or leave it like that if that's your choice..... Or call a professional to do it. Do you think the cops are going to do it?????🧐
Had to get clean or the kennel dogs would get Paul.
What was up with the police that night? How was this brother allowed to be all over the crime scene, sweeping and cleaning up evidence, etc., etc., etc. Boo to the police for sure.
that was at least the day after. they released the scene with bunch of body splatter all over the place
The Murdaugh family owned the police department.
That's what happens when you intertwine with a powerful family like this
@@georgewashington3555 yes they did, spatter, tissue, brains, and a skull piece the size of a baseball. Absolute disgrace. They ought to be ashamed of themselves leaving someones remains out like that in the wind. Say what you want about John Marvin, but I would have done the same. No way in hell would I let my loved ones remains just be sitting outside on the damn sidewalk.
Go watch the Netflix documentary that will show you who these people are
Just like his brother, he offers way too much detail that wasn't even asked about.
Of course.. they are lawyers. They know how to work the jury. This isn’t their first rodeo.
So police worked in the dark and released the scene before going through everything in the daylight? The entire farm should have been shut down and no one allowed in the house or the property. Law partners and friends in the house, unbelievable.
Yep! Spot on!
The brother was also lawyer and no lawyer would ever clean the crime scene unless he was doing it to hide evidence.
John Marvin is not a lawyer.
This brother isn’t a lawyer. Brother randy is. This is John Marvin
I’m assuming the area was released. So at that point the family or whoever could clean the area.
@M Price Wrong brother. John Marvin never even went to law school. And he only started cleaning *AFTER* the scene was released…waaay to early, in my opinion.🤷♀️
You don’t know what you will do when such a Trauma happens with your family. Him cleaning up Paul had nothing to do with Alex . He was in an emotionally state feeling like he needed to do it for Paul . I understand it’s a weird place to be . Bless his heart and he doesn’t practice law . The crime scene was already released . Some people want to know and see everything . While others close up and don’t want to see or know anything .
So this wealthy man who had grown up with servants and hired them, cleaned this bloody scene up all by himself and did not think to call a specialty cleaning service that handles such matters? It is odd to me that he cleaned this scene. Weird.
I think so too.
no. I can almost see it. not letting a housekeeping service or any stranger handle something so delicate.and perhaps to their thinking personal. Not at all sure I could have that kind of strength, if one can even call it that in this case.yet I get the feeling to have wanted to show my grief and respect for my deceased fam.
Has anyone in this family ever had a good night sleep!? I know me having a soul I wouldn’t be able to sleep well knowing my family is utterly evil!!!
You would be surprised how many people you're close to is evil. Like they say, Evil greets you with a smile and a handshake.

You could have stopped at fact that I didn't see the original comment he deleted, which was interesting input. What do you mean you don't care to be nice, that's what you were complaining about with Diddle. From what I saw the combination of Sarah's comment and Diddles reply was interesting.
why do they keep saying Maggie and Paul have been hurt badly? they were brutalized.
It's just like when they talk of the boat crash they never mention Mallory was killed. If they do it's as tho their brain wheels turn a small notch and they're aware....oh yeah I guess I need to mention a girl died and was missing for a week bc if I don't mention I might appear not to give a F....
Which they don't.
Their first response to trouble is circle the wagons and fine tune our lies. This bro is upset bc his family's finely polished veneer is sloughing off and ppl see them for what they really are.
Slaughtered.
It’s called minimization.
It all stinks: 1. He calls a cop to pick him up. 2. He clearly see Alex has taken a shower? (even after a long drive and his car breaking down? Wouldn't he have been dry by then? Hmmm,. 3. He takes Pauls truck? 4. He's allowed to walk around and show the officer the house - to pick up a gun and hand it to an officer and ask them if they want it? 5. He was allowed to clean up the crime scene? 6. Everyone is seeing pots and pans and people cleaning up? Must be a good reason to clean up as much as possible and contaminate the crime scene, especially where someone might try to clean things up after a murder. Unbelievable. Now they are going to throw the entire police force under the bus.
He's quite the actor. Makes sure to smile at the jurors. Must be a family trait.
Are you kidding me?
Savage.😬
@@mitchell3877I’ve seen a lot of apparent bias. No, they’re probably not kidding.
Alex lives to family friends he know but not to jury he doesn't know !!! Get real John boy
All that sincerity made me lean forward & pay attention. Five minutes of listening carefully & yeah, he's just a better liar.
I hope the jury can see how hard Alex tries (and fails) to produce ONE SINGLE TEAR.
I think his runny nose is attributable to allergies, too.
@Mona_Lisa I think the runny nose is from all those years on oxys.
Alex, you can keep dabbing on those DRY EYES till the cows come home, but we aren't buying it and I hope the jury doesn't either.
Its interesting to note that Alex's brother who is the attorney and faces real consequences for lying on the stand is not a witness for the defense.
I noticed that. He wants to keep his law license and that newly formed law firm can't afford any more corruptness. I am surprised people still go to them.
@@Newbalance0311 The attorney brother may know something that conflicts with the defense theory of the murders - something he was told by AM or something he observed or heard from AM or someone close to him. If attorney brother takes the stand and is asked a question that would call for him to answer truthfully, he is in a catch-22. Tell the truth and hurt his brother's case or lie and risk being found out later and lose his law license.
Somwbody from the family got to take the reign.
Alex looks like he's happy he got his brother to back him up. He knew his brother would come through. Brothers will do anything to cover up their siblings mistakes. He's so red and it shows how he knows he's lying for alex.
Excuse me...mistake? Murdering his wife and son wAs a mistake? SHEESH.
@Inner Visions in his family it's called mistakes. Remember they don't care for anyone else. They are not normal. So in there eyes it's a mistake. I know it wasn't it was planned.
Not me. If my brother killed my nephew I'm not protecting my brother that's disgusting and immoral in my opinion .

Agreed, he's a lawyer and definitely knows better than to touch evidence ( Maggie's cell phone) He's in on it. IMO
law students will be studying this slick son of a guns testimony for years to come my babies
I love how these people use tax payers police vehicles as taxis..insane
Entitlement 101, yet Randy gives an interview and said they are part of the community, they are just like everyone else. When was the last time me or you called the police for an escort instead of calling an Uber, friend, spouse, etc.?
In a rural area this is not that uncommon. I mean I don’t support this family for all the bad they have done but a ride from local LE is not that big of a deal.
Are you jealous because you can’t ? I would if I could .
Why would authorities let him clean a crime scene?? This doesn't make sense.
After they gather all the evidence and pictures it's no reason they need it. You don't leave it there forever.
Which brother is this?
@@mitchell3877 were they done with everything though??? Why wouldn’t a professional crime scene cleanup be hired to deal with that??
@@sarahjones8569 there no professional crime scene clean up. You have to hire someone to clean or it’s on you.
@@reddirtfury1784 Its a sad fact that people find out in terrible circumstances. And that's if you live somewhere there IS a service who does it. I've had family members who had to do it for their own.
Why did they not charge the brother for hiding evidence? He heard the tape with Alex at the kennels before the murder all the way back in August.
As far as the area not being taped off to outsiders I wonder if AM called all these people as part of his plan to contaminate the property. Just a thought since he immediately started calling everyone.
AM might not have pulled the “Triggers” But based on the Evidence, He was the Master Mind of the Murder of wife and son. In My humble opinion. It’s a sad sad state of affairs for ALL impacted by a heinous crime. I live SC and know the Low Country very well.
That was my thought as well
Except Buster 45min before he called him after all the lawyers and detective's
AM also had good knowledge of how murder cases go, securing the crime scene etc. Also I wonder if the Murdaughs thought so highly of themselves and the idea that law enforcement would cooperate and do things their way, they were over confident. These are the type of families that will cover for each other if they’re blood and until a blood relative gets in the way. Maggie wasn’t blood and Paul def was uncontrollable! Sad very sad!
@@corettejones Do you hear talk of how residents think about this family? Just curious. It seems many times the residents that are close to the scene of crime have better insight/opinions.
He wasn't absolutely hysterical. He was calling his brothers, in the background, and no way he was hysterical. If fact he has cried very little , all in all . He has never appeared devastated that Maggie died. Anybody else notice that?
This man seems genuinely horrified and distraught by what he had experienced, and it is truly heartbreaking to see him have to re-live those moments.
yes, imo at the time of the shutting he believed in Alex, they didnt see each other often. after he found out about the kennels video , he doubts him.imo he is a good guy 👍
His reaction is a lot more normal than Alex and buster
So sad that he had to clean up his nephew's remains. Paul worked for John Marvin, so they were together everyday.
It's a total acting job buddy. This guy is a fraud like the rest of the family
@@eddiedettling9322 You don't know that. It'd be more probable than not that John Marvin is actually grieving the losss of his nephew and co-worker.
I’m sorry, but I think his brother is putting on a show for his brother
I have to add a very jarring thought to all of this. Knowing and hearing what we have about this "family" and their "dynasty" down there in the low country. It makes me think about the way the white folks controlled their towns and county seats during the era of slavery. I can't wrap my mind around how things were and likely are still being done in these little hamlets. It's sets my teeth on edge.
Meanwhile Alex carried a badge and even had blue lights installed in his car, and the other brother gets a 30 minute escort courtesy of the chief of police who cashed an $5,000 dollar check given to him by Alex? This family is sketch!!!
Watch the Lindsey Edwards interview and you will see how much LE and the Murdaugh family are in bed together. This corruption in this county knew no bounds.
His brother almost rafter him out when he was asked when he first learned and he said Alex first said something bad happened but then corrected himself saying he doesn’t know forsure exactly what he said. He slipped. I really hope this jury is paying attention to all this.
I don’t see how that is any kind of a slip and I don’t think John Marvin is covering up anything.
Recounting trauma is traumatic and certainly not without a stammer here and there.
I wonder if there is anyone in that "circle" that actually care that Alex killed them! They ALL seem to be so self serving, even in their acts that appear altruistic there is a heavy element of scratch my back and I will scratch yours. No REAL Moral compass.
This guy John Marvin is in charge of the property now. IT IS NOT SOLD YET. Slowly they have been emptying out the contents. All of the property is supposed to stay where it is. Tractors, ATVS, boats, cars, tools, guns, etc to pay off the people Alex cheated.
Bad move to ask whether Alex had a shower. You never ask a question if you don't know the answer.
I think that flew over everyone’s head let’s hope the jurors didn’t let it fly over theirs
@@jhgandy2653Yep!👍🏽
I’m glad he asked it though!! Put Alex murder away!!!
How would a brother or anyone know if someone has showered??????
I got wired vibe from him , when he was saying he clean crime sean he shouldn’t do it and when they ask him if door was locked or unlocked when he arrived on next day morning to the house
So sloppy by law enforcement. Nobody should have been allowed on the crime scene or in that house or on that property.. Can't believe how sloppy the police were. Shocking !!!
Shows the politics involving this family. These people were above the law and the officers were scared and manipulated by the power the Murdaugh family has.
It’s not shocking. Police knew the big name in that family and they managed to tread lightly . This family owns that whole town plus police .
The police are on the payroll of that law firm.
Think Alec believed that it would go no further than the County Sheriffs Dept. He never dreamed SLED would be involved. I bet he felt confident until SLED arrived!!!
How would you not think sled would be involved.. It’s a double murder…
Well SLED appears to be like other states bureau of investigation. Example TBI Tennessee Bureau Investigation . In TN usually the county sheriffs dept investigates murder and at times calls in the TBI for help. That’s why I made the comment….
OMG John Marvin Tampered with a crime scene!!!! And why were all those people allowed to Walk all over the crime scene the nite of!!!!!
They all knew they needed to cover up Alex's crime!!
It doesn’t make sense that someone would take Maggie’s phone and throw it out but leave Paul’s on him.
He’s guilty guilty guilty. Even the Behavioral experts says Alec has been lying the whole time. And those crocodile tears were a JOKE. But he’ll get off, I have no doubt. Money buys innocent verdicts. Money and power. I just think this country is in sad sad shape where our “justice” departments are concerned. Just as his son would have beat the rape in the boat incident. And the kid, Steven. That too should have been pursued. The man is a prolific liar …….and will get off. So sad.😢😢😢
Yup that is why he did it. He knows anyone can get off murder with the right amount of money and the supports he has.
OJ all over again? I have to admit, I wanted OJ to get off. I don't know what was going on in my head, but he was just such a big popular public figure, and I couldn't stand to think of him in a jail cell. How weird is that? I remember the very day he was let off I went back to campus and I saw a few black guys come together and relate the news to each other that he was innocent and looked like they were rolling their eyes at each other in disbelief. That's when I started to doubt my position!. Very different than this, although the Murdaughs are kind of stars in their area, so might possibly affect the jury.
These guys ever get tired of lying ?
why wasn’t the phone processed and dusted for prints etc before they started handling it and messing with it. It seems obvious that the murderer tossed it out the window or dropped it or however it made it’s way there from the murder scene 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Even if they were wearing gloves. Their handling of it, even with gloves could have smeared or smudged any fingerprints
This whole thing was a cluster f&#k. I think everyone connected to the entire County from the judges on down to the attorneys and police are in a big tub, bobbing for apples. Y'know what I'm sayin.
"We are part of the community. We're no different than anybody else," Randy told ABC News. SERIOUSY?? The Murdaughs are a prominent legal family in the Palmetto State, with three generations serving as the elected solicitor in the 14th Judicial Circuit for 87 consecutive years. Yet, Randy Murdaugh said on Good Morning America, "I see words like 'dynasty' used, and 'power, but we're just regular people that are working hard and trying to do right. And I think when you do those things, people respect you. We had great opportunities." Such BS. It's been made perfectly clear that the family got away with quite a bit, especially Paul. The family made sure people owed them favors. Check out what Alex did the night of the boat crash. He tried to pin it on Conner Cook, one of the other boys in the boat. Alex admited he 'may' have purposely dangled his solicitor badge out of his back pocket on night of his son's boat crash to get a 'warmer' response. Regular people my arse.
I don't know anyone who owns a 1770 acre home & a beach house combined. They all love money too much. No integrity whatsoever.
Yes, we all call our local police to follow us for back-up in case our vehicle breaks down - and of course, then they give us a ride on to our destination😅😅😅😅 seriously? No, we call a family member, friend or neighbor for a ride - not the local police!!!!
I cleaned up a crime scene, WTF???
Sounds to me like some folks at SLED had been paid off in advance to move slowly and work sloppy.
I don't believe in coincidences, and it's no coinkydink that John Marvin conveniently found Maggies phone, I have absolutely no doubt that Alex guided him there in the hope he could access it and fiddle about with its contents. I suspect that's why law enforcement didn't want him to touch it and said they'll retrieve it themselves. And Alex is talking with JM and gives him Maggies pass code lol? How many coinkydinks before its mathematically impossible to be a coinkydink anymore?
I thought I'd heard just about every word and u throw coinkydink at us. I love this word. I will be using it at every chance I can !!
Thnx !!
It'd be great to hear the judge say, "This jury has found you coinkydinkin guilty Mr. Murdaugh and may God have mercy on your soul".
"Amen", I say.
There is no way a grown man found a dead nephew and cleaned up the scene. That’s just bananas .
How is that bananas? My friend had to clean up his father’s blood and brains after he was killed by his other son, who had schizophrenia. And scarred him for life..
I had a friend whose step-dad blew his brains out with a gun, leaving material all over like this, and he cleaned it up by himself. Wouldn't accept help.
@@weeshirley5934 I’m sorry for your friends loss and struggles.
After the police release the scene, families need to do their own remediation.
That’s a totally different scenario.
This was upon discovery.
He found his beloved nephew dead + instead of leaving the scene alone for forensics so police could find the killer, he cleaned up. That’s about as bananas as it gets.
One thing I can tell you is prosecutors never proved Alex pulled the trigger. But they did prove that Alex was there when Maggie and Paul’s phones went into standby mode and was never used again until police opened the phones. Sure was funny that Alex was within ear shot of two shotgun blast and five AR style blast and never herd anything. All of Alexs old buddies said that they didn’t think they knew the real Alex. Of course they didn’t know Alex as a thief, drug addict, and a Killer. Guilty as Sin!
Alex knew his sons password for the phone. he could have erased the info if he wanted.
@@georgewashington3555 why do you think he knew the password?
Do you think prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that he pulled the trigger?
I think his lawyer buddies knew him better than they care to admit. Birds of a feather flock together.
@@georgewashington3555 Alex did not know the password. He only knew Maggie's.
This whole family is like characters in a John Grisham novel.
Ah yes the chief of police that received a 5k check from alec shortly after the murders.
Wow I missed that.
@@cjfengshui1 I think I heard it in a recap on another channel that is covering the trial. But I was missing the piece of how the chief of police without juris is on the scene. The brother cleared it up in testimony; otherwise it would of been odd without juris. Allegedly the 5k was for the chief’s parents house to be remodeled! Go figure. Alex likes to keep people on a string. He almost got the the nurse watching his mom with that oh ive been here 45 min with a follow up of asking about her wedding and offering money. He thinks he is the smartest one in the room.
Big talkers….. say stupid little details (that are totally unrelated to the question) just to confuse and humanize, etc etc… a con.
John M Murdaugh's testimony feels peculiar, kinda like he's on stage.
Yep... Definitely covering for ass-wipe brother
He a crazy son of b
This brother knows dam well Aleck did it he's an attorney knows how to cry just like his brother. How none of them knew he was taking millions is beyound me.
This brother is not a attorney. The other brother Randy is a attorney.
How does John Marvin NOT have a vehicle of his own? This whole family is SO jacked up!!
Yeah, they think people are stupid.
A staged answer for everything He has 5 businesses but no vehicle Yeah ok …
Hmmmm interesting....like other things.......hmmmmm
Paul was driving John Marvin's vehicle that day.. testified to earlier.. because the farm truck was not in great shape
These people cultivated "warm relationships" with law enforcement to get preferential treatment. They received kid glove treatment from local & state law enforcement (SLED) & now they're complaining???
They knew exactly why the SLED agent who searched the house the first time offered to leave her badge & gun @ the door & keep her search low key. The brother developed a friendship w a SLED agent & called him frequently for details. Today he had the nerve to complain about one facet of the investigation he learned about even though it went nowhere & SLED & the prosecution never brought the issue up in court. Sheesh.
You are right, the police owe him no info about the investigation. Entitled thinking!
Watch the Netflix do documentary and you’ll know this family ones the town … police included . They are literally untouchable. Goes back to their great grand father.
Anyone notice the smiles and looks he is giving a juror? Very deliberate and noticeable when the lawyers are preparing or taking a short pause, he looks up and smiles at a juror.
I noticed and hope his deliberate tactic fails miserably.
Wonder why they didn't have the brother that is a lawyer testify......afraid he may perjure himself and lose his license to practice law?
Yes, that law firm will be lucky to survive even after renaming it.
@@cherzum Brother works for a different firm than Alex I believe.
@@sittingindetroit9204 Oh, I was under the impression that when the money was discovered missing, Randy was one that voted to fire him. I believe both were working at PMPED at the time.
I like how he added putting pots and pans in the refrigerator. How convenient that he add that
This brother testifies he didn't go to law school and is proud of it. Don't try to be a comedian when you are on the stand in a murder trial. I thought this guy acted a little too happy to be on the stand, but produced the proper tears when necessary. I also didn't believe him when he said he wasn't aware of Alex's major addiction until labor day week end 2021. His statements of cleaning up the crime scene because he felt like he "owed it to Paul" was just beyond bizarre.
I don’t find that part bizarre at all. If someone’s skull and brains was laying out and no one was doing anything about it, then I would not leave the remains out like that. It’s disgusting that LE left things like that. No one deserves to be left out like that. This poor man did the right thing to not leave his nephews remains out like that.
@@Seashellsbytheseashore21 I agree that the remains shouldn't have been left, but just don't think a family member should have cleaned it up. If for no other reason, I think it will haunt him for the rest of his life.
You’ve obviously never had a family members body you had to clean up
I agree, the parts where he tries to get people to laugh. I have only seen one segment, about going to Darius Rucker concert, having the beers and about holding wife's hand and it was all playing to audience and inappropriate to try to be jokey about it. He was fake fake relating that whole incident, trying to be funny.
@@marysketch4772 100%
if this guy is guilty...God help him for putting hid poor family/brothers/friends through all this!
Lies. Just listen closely and you can catch him numerous times.
This is absolutely crazy……I don’t understand why he would be allowed to touch the crime scene…….ABSOLUTELY CRAZY…….
Did he tamper with the crime scene? WTF???
….and then John and the other brother started going door to door asking for video footage. Yeah, what?
It tells me that they knew Alec did it
family of sociopaths. i think buster was in on this.
Buster seems cold.
Yes for sure he help blow there brains out
His brother sounds like AM. Explains way to much. Just like his brother.
I'll tell you if these lawyers stop repeating questions so often this trial would have been over a long time ago!
Not guilty, not because he didn't do it. But because the police and sled botched the crime scene
Bad memory too.
Yep
I think we are underestimating this jury. There is strong circumstancial evidence and they can vote guilty without believing beyond all doubt. I'm betting these folks have lots of common sense and horse smarts. Probably spent most of their lives hearing these snobs brag and lie. But in this deal ??? Naw ...they done gone too far. They'll vote guilty and never change their facial expressions. If asked what made em lean towards a guilty verdict they'll look at you like you're nuts and probably say...Weren't just one thing. The whole damn thing couldn't pass a smell test. Any fool could see that 🤣.
The End and back to living like they always have....with the sense the good Lawd gave us.
They've been content to let the Murdaughs of the world think they're the brightest and the best but all the while knowin that ain't true.
If I'm wrong I'll post u back next week and make u a winner winner with a chicken dinner. 😆.
@@juliecrane9647 I hope your right! 100%!
@@juliecrane9647 thank God you're not on a jury. There is a reason circumstantial evidence cannot convict. Also you need to be unbiased. They wouldn't pull from that area. The defense would of filed a motion
Any reason why Maggie didn’t have her phone? I guess that AM took the phone that way prevented her from calling 911 ones she heard the shots .
I don't think she had time to call anyone. After she figured out what was happening to Paul, she ran. The killer took her phone and threw it out while driving.
Keep playing the 911 call. He said. I did it so bad. He already confessed. You'll hear it. .. It will solve the case. People are over looking that.
no one is overlooking that, there is an entire debate over whether he said "i did him so bad" or "they did him so bad"
He’s guilty as sin!
Just an outsuder's opinion, but I suspect the father hired two hit men to kill his son and wife. He set it all up either for money (insurance) or hate. The father was involved and was present.
These are the most "I don't knowing " people I have ever seen. You cannot remember what they were doing.
Amazing that 1 brother can be so caring and another a monster. So glad their father doesn’t know what happened.
Their grandfather was not good either and probably so was his father , Only difference is Alec got caught.
