Alex Murdaugh cross-examined by prosecution on Feb. 23 | Full video 

He’s a seasoned lawyer. He knows what he’s doing getting up there.

But his arrogance didn't allow him to have a realistic idea of how he could make himself look like a liar and a greedy bastard who only thinks of himself. I hope he has underestimated the jury.

Exactly

Exactly...Or he wanted to be cross examined by Mr. Waters so he could be involved and try to trip the prosecution up...He wants to challenge Waters...try and show him he is superior...typical narcissism....

His Canned Response is Back firing

I couldnt do it either. I would ask or even beg for something before taking from the poor or sick.

Absolutely. He’s disgusting.

Same, idk how people like him sleep at night

Me too! If he would steal proceeds my his housekeepers needy sons and other injured individuals, murdering is just one more step in depravity. He did NOT murder Buster his namesake and heir, so in AM’s eyes, he has preserved his lineage.

I sold my belonging bc my dog needed expensive surgery and he made it❤️This man having 3 houses doesn’t want to admit he’s wealthy bc he stole it!!!

it's fascinating. in a way, this was beautiful dialogue.

What an astute and perfectly put observation. Any person who has ever tried to write realistic and meaningful dialogue will have an even greater appreciation of your observation. Thank you!

totally--he's so guilty and guilty people do this

Swamp Kings by Jason Ryan chronicles four generations of nasty Murdaughs. Disgusting.

@@Heirphoria13thank you for the book mention. I am listening it right now. Didn't know it existed. Did you read it?

@djemcee yes I did. It was very eye opening on the history of the family but the boat wreck and murder of maggie and Paul, There was nothing new that I hadn't seen watching the court coverage myself.

Imagine what black people went through with this family.

@user-mt6lq8qo2d his best friend was a black guy who he did dirty like all the white.guys he knew. ALEC DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE!

TOTALLY!!

And they will never admit that anything is their fault, unless like this case, they got caught red handed and now, they are looking for sympathy.

Jodie Aias, Dalia Depolito, Darrel Brooks, Amber Heard. Narcissistic PD ++

So true! They dodge questions and try to make nonsense make sense.

Yes, they only answer a question with a question.

It did start with the great grandfather who may have been corrupt and just kept traveling down the generational line. Even Buster was originally kicked out of law school for cheating. Both Alex and Buster have lost a considerable amount of weight. But prison food might do that to you. They both were looking like the Pillsbury doughboy.

True

Mr Alex is a psychopathic cockroach.

Agree. It was arrogance & self-centered interests. To feel you stand ABOVE all the rest of the community & you can do however & whatever you do (without really getting into trouble) THAT is what lead to this sick mind committing murder & wrecking the legacy of his family, the future of his son (who is an apple not far from the tree) ...

@@WVgrl59 he said he was killed to I wonder how

Exactly! Very interesting to watch!

nothing beautiful about this dance, what a waste of tax payers money, Alec is still robbing others for his benefit...

Yes Like our Congress , the liars and thiefs going at it against each other. Congress is actually worse because they are ALL in it together and it's all just politically theater with We the People as the victims !

Interesting and infuriating at the same time. AM ruined many people even his own family.

N his smarter

He had/has no shame. His only shame is he got caught. He thought he was going to get up there and, as a former lawyer, be in charge. AM met his match and I get the distinct impression, when Water’s had to stand so close to AM that he was/is totally repulsed by him.

This one gets to me more than anything. 😥 more so, than the murder of his wife and son. How can you look a quadriplegic person IN THE EYES, being the man who investigated, and prosecuted his case, and got millions in damages, knowing all along he did that work all for himself, as he knew how much he would get in damages. It became his racket! This evil man fought these cases for his own profit. This monster needs too rot for life. 😠

The whole family...beady eyed weasels...sorry weasels. Weasels have a soul. These people don't.

@@kenzierocks1240 Who's repulsed by who? You mean the Waters is repulsed?

I agree! He's a greedy. Selfcentered POS!! Went from millions to clicking his heels over noodles, beef sticks and cookies he won in jail !!! KARMA🎉

He's a true BOTOM DWELLER !!

Yep ,definitely exposed his narcissistic ways.loved the badge pics. Big red was acting like he was law,

Yes, I agreed. He knew every answer from his defense attorney but now he is kind of argumentative and kind of deflects from the answer. Deflect may not be the correct word but you'll get my drift, I think.

But he's not on trial for that yet...

He had to take an oath when he became an attorney

He is a lawyer, he would know the tricks!

Classic psychopath,intelligent, charming,no shame,no guilt,lies. No empathy. That's a few off the checklist.

Also, his mouth chewing and sucking on the cam. How in the actual F does ANYBODY like the mouth noise ASMR?! Is so unbelievably disgusting 🤮

Well ...if AM thinks that he's winning this "game" ...he's sadly mistaken! But it's typical of someone with a narcissistic personality disorder to think they are the smartest person in the room!

Not working

Small towns ova here in SC .. they know. Very rare for ppl to go out on a property like that to commit this kind of crime. That's why the officer said that the night they rolled up. The dead give away was the location.. No one is going out on a property with guns to shoot ppl point blank.

And trying to sound like Gomer Pyle.....

He’s acting like he’s unable to understand every question. So irritating.

It’s like he’s acting.

GOd knows and he is where he belongs. How much Life insurance did he have on Maggie and Paul

Ita. I get secondhand embarrassment every time he uses the fake nickname for Paul. He’s so much dumber than he thinks he is.

Totally agree with you, that and “Mags” and when he was droning on about how wonderful Paul and Maggie were… I kept thinking, yes, too bad YOU murdered them.

Cringe is the correct word. It makes me crazy whenever he says it!

I have the feeling that paw paw would have been mad as hell his father called him that!

​@Venus Star i call my kids by nicknames too. My daughter Evie gets called Fee because when her sister was a baby she could only pronounce it Feefee. My other daughter is Anna but we call her Banana or Spangles. Some families just use nicknames a lot. However, i think his defence team has instructed him to over use Pau-Pau to illicit sympathy from the jury. Its used way too much.

Nope.. Mistrial

He killed the wrong people/person….

Mistrial does sound possible

You may be right about his "life" being over. It is now over. But conviction is not looking likely.

No matter what this clown is going to prison for a long long time .

Oh he’s jus a lil ol humble cuntry boy.

😳

I'm surely not an attorney but I understand exactly what prosecution is doing. He wants to put a face behind the money that was taken from them. Wants to show the jury that these people suffered from their losses and their living with medical issues and no money there's one thing to steal money but to steal from a quadriplegic? This is a whole new crime now. Stealing money is stealing money to me. It's different when you steal from a church, charity someone in need.

That really annoyed me. Why try to skirt around something so obvious to everyone?

1,770 aces!

I have NEVER heard him refer to Paul as Paupau! And I have listened to every interview and phone call available! He’s doing it for sympathy!

@@victoriaryanlpcpc8075 100% agree.

It's a tactic, he thinks it makes him folksy and relatable, in reality he sounds manipulative and patronizing, he's so vile

I'm so glad, the procecuter called him out on that.

I thought it sounded ridiculous and an obvious manipulation. How many 22 yr old men would like to have nicknames like Paw Paw and Roe Roe. Are they 2 or 22?

And sometimes, he would store his marbles in that jar 😄

“No, sir, that may or may not be true” what a clown.

LOL “I’m not sure.. depends on what you mean by cookie jar?”

@@annaleathompson2702 HaHa🤣

Lol

Or kicked him in the teeth 😬

Most definitely! He’s the type of person that would lie,cheat,steal and kill to get what he wants AND to cover his behind. Gotta look good for the public.

You must be from Missouri 😁

Narcissistic Pathological Liar

@@Mdeaccosta Alabama 😬

Same mistake that the legal team of Amber Heard made.

🤦🏽‍♀️

Really 🤪🥵🥳

No disrespect but you seriously had me cracking up with your comment...What an ASSHOLE he is huh ???

What a tool

he said he was holding the money for him until he got back on his feet

His memory is convenient.

He thinks if he owns up to every single thing ExCEPT "that" then the jury would find him credible.

Exactly. He is a master manipulator working the room, he is trying to endear himself to jury. He knew exactly what he was doing when repeating his key phrase. I do think though that the point was made and need to change subject off this beaten to death topic.

Let give him the benefit of the doubt

@@rogerdread38 You again? He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.That's what the defense is hoping for, reasonable doubt from a gullible jury.

Lolol

He shook his head YES, when he answered, NO he did not kill his wife and Son.

Leading...

Just another pity party invitation, any old sucker will do.

​@@Roxie174 the same as Chris Watts when he did that Interview on his porch when they asked him if he wanted to say anything and he was shaking his head No when he was saying he wanted them home

I can't stand that repetition of questions... He's buying time to think of a lie

Terrible liar he is and exhausting to listen to. It’s amazing to me that he actually won cases as a lawyer.

Yop he repeat almost every question. Such a fox🦊

To me it is painful to listen to the cocky prosecutor, and I completely understand to Murdaughs point of view, trying to get accurate answers to sometimes rather foul questions. The prosecutor is like a snake that cannot grasp the right angle of how to "destroy" his victim. Murdaugh has made really bad things economically, but that certainly do not make him a murderer. And that is the real question, is it not?

He’s a lawyer through and through!

I'm not sure they can call witnesses back, I think they can, but ONLY, for very specific and succinct reasons. I would like them to call back people who KNEW THEM WELL, as a family unit, within the home, like HER SISTER, and find out it he ever went around calling her RoRo and he PaPa. My father had a nickname for my mom, I don't know where it came from, but he called her "Sam." Her name was Phyllis. But that was reserved in use between them, and not used all the time. It was a term of endearment. Not over used, etc. and most people that knew them, would NOT, know that, and he would never in this type of situation use it. (God forbid.)

He's using nicknames to give the perception of having affection for them. He's not only a liar, he's a mhrdr.

@@Star-Mac10 YES you indeed are correct. But it is CLEVER, this liar coming up with such BULLSHIT.

AM way of trying to garner the jury’s sympathy. Didn’t work. This is my second time watching this and I’ve come to the conclusion that AM is not the sharpest tool in the shed and/or his memory is somewhat clouded by drugs but I think he has a convenient memory. However, he met his match.

He remembers .🙄

He Probably did loose count after screwing so many people over for YEARS! What a POS

His family more of less owned and run things in that whole region for so long, I'm surprised anyone has the guts to testify against him while there's even a one in a million chance he'll go free. Things don't go well for people who run up against the Murdaughs around there.

On the flip side ....if you are missing up to 10 million bucks and it takes you A DECADE to discover it....did you really need it????? I think not. If I am missing 85 cent, I know it by laundry day and search all the kids and they all get a whooping and punished until it is returned. And my kids are all adults...

hes gonna have many years in jail to remember all his bs

Good point .

Great observation

Great comment 👍

I hope Waters makes that point as well.

This manchild was happy driving around with blue lights!!

....On top of that, he got paid for winning the case as well. All the persons he stole from in relation to a case, he got paid a hefty sum.

this was a murder trial, not a financial crimes case.

The quadriplegic died 4 months later.

Was that the cop?

He carried the badge for a reason. Wasn't a coincidence!!

Exactly

Yeah I thought that was bullshit too

Pure BS, he is pathological

He's been around them enough to know that if he's the target, they're capable of anything. He's a scumbag, lying, thieving, pos. But he's not a killer. He's stolen millions, disrespected the boat girl, mixed up with dope dealers & no telling what will come out next?? They were marched to the kennels, he was made to watch, told what to do & say, taken on a drive with phones pingin & threatened with parents & son's lives!! He's taking full blame for all the business dirt. He knows who did it, but can't say. Maybe SLED???? All these people, Rich, elite, attys, judges, cops, Are 🐓🍭🍭🍭

He is a sorry excuse for a husband and a father. Poor Maggie and Paul that is who I feel bad for . And "Buster" is just like his Dad. He sure is using some bad behavior in the court room he sure don't show any emotion for his poor mom and brother. What kind of people are they for God's sake? I'll be glad when Buster gets put out the court house.

Most attorneys tell u b as brief as possible in your answers so u don’t open doors for more questions. AM is trying to run the clock out

Maybe prosecutor is letting him ramble so he can catch him up on something.

Alex is a clever fool. This is insane. Paul and Meggie rise up and fight for your ruthless gruesome murders. Your spirit lives on and should not go in vain.

Performing for the jury. Playing the part of the good old southern boy. In reality, he wants to get back to his lifestyle w/out having any dependents. Maggie & Paul weren’t his first victims. Alex considers the only people important right now to be the jury & himself, not the deaf quadriplegic whose ventilator was found unplugged, the numerous teenagers who lost their parents then their homes, the parents of the teen found dead in the middle of the road with his head bashed in (Alex allegedly wore “his badge” & entered crime scene), the cop who lost his job bc his report showed Paul was driving the boat that killed Mallory Beach, not to forget how many of millions he stole from those victims & others.

He literally things he can talk his way out of all of it. Why else would you take the stand in these circumstances?

judge not lest ye be judged leave it to the courts. Not the peanut gallery

I was thinking the same thing, he is not sorry about it

@@AC-mp7cx Do you realize the irony of you judging me 🤣 It's not judgemental to give quotes "I took their money" "Money that didn't belong to me" .... you know what comes next, he said it enough. That is in fact NOTan apology. All those cases given and he NEVER apologized. Also, what is the peanut gallery? Those not involved personally? Are YOU involved personally? Does that make you part of the "peanut gallery"?

He's trying to come across as a very honest man,admitting to all these things,so the jury will think he's telling the truth about having no involvement in the murders

Admission of guilt does not imply an admission of a guilty conscience. “Yeah I did it. No I’m not sorry.”

I am looking forward to the behavior channel diggin their teeth into this video!

​@W. S I noticed that but he was consistent in doing so much I'm not sure it's a tell.could be tho

Like watching self harm.

Maybe he lived a triple life & has 15 other kids!!

Or he was invested in the drug trafficking and got paid back in drugs and cash.

Generational bootleggers !!

Or he was just that stupid re the drugs and Eddie saw a cash cow.

He was somehow involved in drug trafficking. Nobody spends $50,000 a week on opioids for their private use. I don’t doubt that he spent a lot of money on drugs for himself, but not that much.

Murder is the ultimate theft, taking lives, and now he is trying to steal from Lady Justice.

That doesnt mean he killed his wife and child though....

Innocent until proven guilty. This should not be determined by your feelings but evidence. PERIOD.

@@Peace-iz7gj sadly that's not the way it always works.

@@treyallen1805 who do you think did?

Agreed!! I CALL COMPLETE BS!!! He’s obviously not a stupid man yet simple questions he stammers like an idiot!!

Ikr. Earnest T. Bass was funny. Remember when he had a crush on Thelma Lou, or was it Helen.?

Front and center on the dash too.

He was on drugs just trying to get a fix I'm sure he probably does have remorse

​@@emilyheather328 lol taking a note here and there from someone's wallet is finding a fix. This guy was wanting more than a fix methinks...

Exactly 💯💯💯💯

​@@m1ssjuju so true. Lol

He may be in the drug smuggling business. Drugs that have contributed to the death of so many young people and others, as well.

It's good that he destroyed everything his ancestors build they are all crooks that put innocent people in jail

Absolutely agree. He single handedly ruined everything generations of his kin worked for. Shameful Did you happen to catch the Netflix series on this? It just came out yesterday. ‘Murdaugh murders: A southern scandal’ It was pretty good 😊

@@CherryPi314 totally gona check that out!

reasons he did it.. life insurance would've been huge for them both and if his family was murdered than most likely the people wouldn't come after him in court for the millions he stole because even though he did something bad stealing money, losing his family would be more horrible.. the man has twisted mind.. who finds his wife and son murdered but shows no sadness, kept asking cops are you sure they're dead, not please tell me they're alive or will live, is someone trying to save their lives, are they going to make it, no he said are you they're dead because if they survived they could tell everyone he did it.. he said he wasn't there but was because of a video Paul shot, he told the caregiver of his mom to lie about how long he was there and he would pay for her wedding, the spot where his wife's phone was he slowed down at the right spot, so many lies.. why wouldn't he be mad, upset and trying to find the killers, why did he stay there if they were just killed, what if the killers came back.. he's on the stand because he wants to show the jury he's a good father.. he started calling his son pau pau and there is no video or evidence showing him calling paul that.. he wants them to feel bad so they rule in his favor.. he's a sicko who deserves the chair.. even if he didn't kill them he deserves to be in jail for life for taking advantage of people and stealing money from friends/coworkers

​@@LivingASimulation He was being sued for over 4 million dollars for what his son did on that boat but if his son is dead that would dismiss liability I believe.

I'm sure he looks the murderer in the face every morning.

Yes! This is what I've been thinking.

He sees the murder every morning in the mirror as he’s brushing his teeth.

No one in their entire family is or was humble.

You missed it…”trrryyying”

Yay, me too.

@@LivingLifeOutWest ~ Lying, stealing, cheating, and MurDuh -- Even a badge to get outta jail free! Sickening. This happens all over the USA with 'entitled' families. Buster went to Vegas with his gf, while Alex shudders they took a commercial flight! *Shudders*! 💩

Absolutely 💯

What a creep . Mr Waters u r a great rep for the state of Carolina.God bless u from Westchester NY

run, do not walk away, from a narcissist

Murdaugh is a soulless creature. He's not human but, as Elvis said "a DEVIL in disguise".

​@@bonnie_gailand the defense team act just like murdaugh!!

Amen

Me too!!

He is on drugs

😂😂

LMAO

In his mind he earned it. That's the problem with the many sociopaths in the business world, many aren't that different than Alex.

And may have had a hand in her death.

Imagine that. The woman faithful Worker. Then he said he was there and he wasn’t. Maggie was there.

He remembers lying. Stealing. Lock him Up ! Sick of him

Jury are you listening to what kind of scum he is.

Wonder what the judge thinks. He’s probably sick of him

and pass on psychopathic traits and behaviors from generation to generation.

Exactly. Both boys were really spoilt. But Paul seemingly most obnoxious. .

Spat hit kicked girlfriend. See Netflix show.

So true!

@@susanbengston3208 the one that gave evidence appeared mentally challenged. His pauses to answers questions didn’t illustrate to me a keenness to get answers correct but a struggle to understand what he was being asked.

A slick way of pleading the 5th without actually saying it. 🤣🤣🤣

I belive Alex plan here is to look guilty.too cover UP for the totally corrupt family .because I belive he planned Paul's murder whis his father.and now the only thing that matters is to keep his fathers name clean.so buster and John Martin can keep on living their corrupted life's.

Yep! Arrogant Ffff

Love this prosecutor

@@patriciamurphy1449 I do as well.

ABSOLUTELY, You Are Correct, Shelly. -C

Very discerning comment. Thanks 👍

Yes,, he is leaving himself an escape hatch of plausible denialibility.He is also trying to convince the jury that he is a victim for their sympathy.He has learned that with all his wrongful death and injury cases that jury sympathy is your best weapon.

I truly hope I’m wrong, but reasonable doubt is creeping in. There is a ton of circumstantial evidence, but a hung jury wouldn’t surprise me. Again, I hope I’m wrong. Just so much smoke, mirrors, and mid-direction.

Conveniently..

When corruption goes back this far u r convinced that u have the right to behave this way Above the law cause you are the law. 🤡🤡🤡🤡It doesn’t get much better than this. I know lindsey Graham is ducking and dogging folk on the hill. This is the hall gossip I’m told. SC’s finest. 🫣🫣🫣🫣

Buying time to come up with an answer. He was a lawyer. He understood those questions. A master manipulator OR so he thought. He met his match! EDIT: and AM was seething inside!

So smart of a man why would he do something so crazy

He was an attorney so that's what your supposed to do. That's actually smart what's not smart is taking the stand. I don't understand why the heck he would have taken the stand in the 1st place ? that's why i don't believe he actually pulled the trigger ? Because any attorney would say heck no to taking the stand you try to keep your clients off of the stand no matter what.

​​@@alexwilliams9744 LMAO 😂 you are absolutely correct 👏 wth is wrong with this man he's still saying it wasn't him ? Talk about shaggy 😂 it wasn't me dumbest attorney contest winners

Surely Murdaugh has to clean the questions, which often are dubious and snaky. I am certainly not imposed by the prosecutor. Murdaugh is a really bad embazzler, but that does not make him a murderer. Becoming a murderer craves other motifs, like desperate i.e. shame and powerlessness. Seems he tried to stage his own death to able his son Buster to get at least a fraction of all the circled money in insurance... What a mess.

The prosecutor , can’t stop asking you would agree or is that correct.

You are 💯 right.

They are not pillars of society at all. To be a true "pillar" of society requires that you act rightly and are upstanding. They are anything but. They are/were wealthy and it is all coming to an end. Yes, it is one of the faces of great evil - the love of money - and all it buys - pride, etc. From all I am reading it seems that they are / were so cold. Brenna

💯

It turns out he wasn’t well off

who else is like that? Oh yes, our governments (well they are in the UK, no matter which side of the aisle). When greed takes over, all bets are off and these people are relentless. Nothing is too much for greedy people.

​@Brenna J Lawrence They certainly convince others that they are "pillars of society".

Great analysis of this individual and his tactics.

He does think he's smarter than everyone and that was his downfall. That and the fact that he's a murderer.

@@jaygribbin1667 the murders seem to be key here lol

They teach you that in public school?

​@@wbrown229She might have had you pegged out as a narcissist before you ever commented on this lol. It doesn't take an Elon Musk to read basic manipulative tactics. Learned that in public school 😂

you could be in a lot of debt despite appearing weatthy

It’s so out of touch. His wife didn’t work and they had a full time housekeeper-I cannot even imagine. (I work 50 hours a week, clean my house, make the meals, pay bills… and still I know I live a wealthier lifestyle than many.)

Immediately after the murders he stated all names, birthdays, where he'd been, how long on time frames, phone numbers from memory, so not buying he can't remember all the stolen $, where it was spent as well.

He lien

That's because it's hard for a liar to remember what they have already lied about. It's difficult for them to remember what they have "made up", as opposed to remembering the truth.

Agree, he can weazel his way around giving yes or no answers and make it seem like he did nothing by admitting he did it and saying it was wrong as if it simply can be waved away and excused as if waving a majic wand! What a sociopath!

Intelligent or possibly nepotism/favoritism, linkology?

I question his intellect in the light of his alledged offenses....how does an intelligent LAWYER ever expect to get away with this, a double homicide of his own family. The procescutions motiv sounds rediculous...but then again this dudes whole life sounds rediculous

He met his match with the prosecutor. He even called out Alex for all of a sudden starting to use Paul’s nickname to gain sympathy

It doesn't make him a killer and the case isn't over

just imagine how many others just like him are out there right now..

Omg yes I know that rabbit hole runs deep

@Notatroll Geronimop

Well said!

@Notatroll Geronimo maybe your're right and it really was an accident. However, Alex cashed in 4 million $ and did not give any money to her sons. Also, there are just too many deaths connected to this family that i can give him/them benefit of the doubt.

Starts off slow and soft, then literally breaks him down and tears him into tiny pieces, leaving him completely vulnerable and allowing him to dig his own grave! 😮

Water’s reminded me here of the saying “an iron hand in a velvet glove” ~ gentle yet forceful and determined.

Prosecutor is useless since he can't break through his responses. He doesn't know how to break down someone that's a better lawyer.

His only job is to prove the truth thereby proving the lies of the defendant- unlike the Casey Anthony prosecutors- Waters was successful in his one job - and Alex will NOT be able to con his way out of this one

"Prosecutor is useless" aged poorly. Waters took him to school.

He wants a check

he's of a dying breed unfortunately ... can you imagine GenZ attorneys trying to be like that...not likely

Blessed he’s getting a check regardless; not from this case. Prosecutors receive a salary 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468 duh. You aren't saying anything I don't know

@@blessedblessed5018 then why say it you made no sense duh you really think he went hard bc of a paycheck that is minimal for public servants they don’t get paid like Alex murdaughs type lawyers so why would you say it if you already knew that. Just say you opened your fat ugly mouth too soon speaking I’ll for no reason at all but to be a biich go fook yourself

I agree he was heavy and that is simply almost undead of, especially when addiction. Him claiming he took so so many 30 mg of oxycodone on a daily basis , and he simply was overweight , then he looses so much weight when he kills the wife and son and went into rehab? I have a hard time understanding. I get he was scared for once in his evil life and all his horrible things he had done, but to take as many mgs daily of oxycodone daily and he was overweight ? I get stumped. Everyone I have seen has lost weight , cause they give people so much energy and take away the desire to eat much. Although , I have seen some a little heavy , but his situation is bizarre as his life and all the crap he has done to innocent , decent people. Then he is trying to toy with this prosecutor, glad this prosecutor was way smarter than this man. He is a horrible man.

@@alexandriacarter2710 yes yes and since we're talking about it i think they spent time finding a prosecutor that would actually be ready to face a man that thinks his profession would help him in this situation. I've watched alot of prosecutors but I feel like this one was sought out because he is capable of letting someone feel like they're in control and even more knowledgeable.. when in reality he was chosen for a reason. ya know?

​@@alexandriacarter2710In the jail call records released to media Alex said the food in jail was terrible & he continually hit his family up for "canteen" money so he could eat that. Sounds like he wasn't eating much in jail, just canteen food, hence the weight loss

@@maureenbrown6697 I saw that to and also he was talking to Buster on the phone and stated he had won bets on games and he won so many beef sticks and some kind of soup and this and that.blows my mind. Then when I saw him back in Court yesterday , he has lost a lot of weight , but he certainly did not have a great day in court. That lady judge was super direct and made no bones what she would allow and not. The. Lawyer’s that weighed in on said he certainly didn’t have a good day. And my last thought. Where is getting all this money?? I thought he basically had none.

We can only hope.

I know what you mean! It’s a tragedy on so many levels. Pitiful.

@@amyhenningsgard8618 So many levels indeed!

Just because he is rich does not mean he is evil. Maybe the fact that u re poor means u re just lazy. Have u stop to think about that. Lazy and jealous of all rich and successful. Like Trump or Michael Jackson

I have zero sympathy for pycos. Have dealt with 2 and never again Never let your guard down or expect truth from anyone. Love them buy keep an eye out

Yes! It is really sickening! He is pure evil. I really hope and pray Buster watches his back with a father like this.

Are u a psychic or smth? For me i see a suffering guy who violently lost his wife and his son, and a jealous mob of losers keep attacking him instead of finding the killers. I m physically sick of how disgusting people are. People like u. Jealous mob

Don't you realize most attorneys are like this. What's new? No surprizes

Rt lol

@Suebethian Texas attorneys are bad but this guy...gets blue lights installed (which may have led to stephen smith's death ), wear the badge to the hospital, stealing, lying about how much money he spent on his drug addiction (because it's physically impossible to spend $30k/week on opiates, trust me...ever see someone nod out, that's a protection from your body to make u not be able to do more) clean clothes, (blood on fingertips only) point being- they were lawless and they knew it!! Just like buster "making gestures" to someone testifying against AleX.

Great point

The sad part is he is only admitting this to get him out of this trouble trying to look like the honest guy...he only admits the obvious then tries to throw shade on that.

Murder is the ultimate form of theft.

Yep this guy is despicable

“Mr. Waters, what I will say is that I don’t dispute that that’s my name.”

why r u repeating what was told in the netflix doc, in these comments. doesnt pertain to todays appearance at all 🤦🏻‍♀️

I kinda feeling symptoms for this man. I, can't judge him. Let's leave him to Yahweh. Let Yahweh he the judge. Because it's always two sides of a story....., I can't be the judge anymore...... My hands are out of it.

Exactly! It's a shame the jury isn't able to see the NetFlix documentary that just came about the Murdaughs!

any parent would try to keep thier kid out of jail

Omg he is such a hero because he admits the truth

I like how he can’t remember taking the badge into the hospital on the night of the boat accident, he can’t remember why he took it, he can’t remember why it was prominently sticking out of his pocket. But he can “absolutely” remember that he did not use it to exert influence on that night.

@@Juicetheeunuch but wtf does that have to do with him murdering his wife and kid

@@bendoverjudy because the prosecution is trying to prove he’s a liar and he lied about not being at the kennels as well

@@bendoverjudy it should prove he would do anything to get that money and get those pills. Up to and including taking earnings from a quadriplegic, all the way up to killing his wife and kid.

Because he’s trying to plant ideas/info when he does that. It’s his MO. listen to any interview he’s done before the trial. And even the 911 call. He plants things into the conversation.

Straight WORD PLAY!!

Watch Jodi Arias on cross. She's just as infuriating as Alex.

He's a lawyer!

You are correct

​@nutmeg8399 she sounded like a lawyer too! They both are psychopath too.

He will throw them under the bus.

He did go to the hospital. Tried to go in to rooms and tell Kids it wasn’t Paul driving boat. Kids asked nurses not to let him In room

He kept walking around saying Connor was driving boat. Putting it out there.

Pity jury can’t watch special on Netflix.

Most cops are untrustworthy and corrupt and will lie to cover their colleagues.

really good point

That’s what he said right there on the stand. He would want other law enforcement to see it because it had a “warming effect” mmmm hmmm

At least you’re an honest individual

That's why his kid never spent a day in jail for that boat incident. The badge.

I carry my (old) Hospice Badge in my car. Works like a charm. :) Works better than the County Badge I currently have. LOL

That is so true.

The prosecutor is quite possibly the worst that could have been chosen for the job…

@@HughWoo and yet still got this monster convicted on all charges despite what you think 😂

@@HughWoo 🤣. He got two guilty verdicts by working hard and smart. He gave credit to his staff and knows he couldn't have succeeded without their help. In this volley with Alex he let Alex blather on and fed him the rope that helped Alex hang himself. If he wasn't good at prosecuting there wouldn't have been guilty verdicts. What do you think he should have done to have a better outcome than Alex rotting in prison until he dies ? Have you had run-ins with prosecutors ? Most ppl who insult them using a broad brush usually have. 😆 The idiot is Alex thinking he's brilliant. Mr. Waters has won many cases that Alex wouldn't know how to begin to tackle. Won't even compare their differences re truth and ethics. They're obvious unless u choose to not see. 🙄

@@HughWoo I think he did a great job!! And he said in his interviews he let him ramble on so the jury could see the real AM!!

He is such a sleaze ball…he didn’t start calling Paul by that pet name until he was on the stand, and he is trying to use that nic name because he wants them to think someone that could call their son such a cute name, could never commit murder…And he is walking around the hospital with that badge, because they all knew Paul was driving the boat, PURE INTIMIDATION!!!!!! He is pathological

@TrumpGirl 101 He's a rich, Privlaged, scumbag, lying, thieving, in the know, maggot atty. But He's Not a killer! That was a Pro hit. He owes about $10M, was arrogant with the girl's family & mixed up with dope dealers. Has a lot of enemies. Someone marched him & family to the kennels. They made him watch, told him what to say & do, made a trail with phone service & said if he didn't, the other son & parents were next. He has no choice. He wouldn't have done that with Two long guns. Good chance that the Cops (the ones he doesn't trust) were the hit squad. They didn't seem to mind, trampling thru the crime scene. If he gets convicted, he deserves it for his screwin less fortunate people, but he's not a killer. Doesn't have it in him

@Vincent 1000 doesn't make him a killer

Where was the evidence..blood, gun, gun powder?

Sounds like my mother. Has no memory of anything she did wrong. But has memory of everything else. Smfh.

He’s basically a piece of crap!

Because that's what NARCASSISTS are

And something should be done about putting money on fellow inmates accounts.

You are not allowed to give inmates money. Did they?

Was con the one who called in bomb threat

It sounds ridiculous

His use of endearing ‘pet names’ is so gross and fake! Hypocritical!

He looks and sounds like a fool saying pawpaw and Mags, etc.

Think he’s saying Paul Paul

@@kathyturner4797 He is but the L is silent hence Paw,Paw or Pau,Pau the name they called Paul when he was a toddler.He doesn't want to say how he felt at the time of the murders Snitch and B...h.

Right. A narcissist will never take responsibility for their actions.

He believes his lies..

@@kasperorganics-organiccott6881. Never! This right here is a perfect example

This guy confess? Lmao. Get serious. This isn’t TV. The jury is going to have to make the decision whether they buy into his sob story bs performance today Or whether they see through it.

Coaching by Statler and Waldorf.

Creighton Waters, and Judge Clifton Newman, would make wonderful Supreme Court justices.

Creighton Waters for President: 2028, or 2032?

Creighton Waters for Supreme Court.

I love Creighton Waters. He knows his job.

Alex murdaugh would be great for the supreme court too.

He's a brilliant judge

one of the most dignified prosecutor friendly judges I have ever seen. He is dignified but he is biased

I love the judge too. He is very fair and thoughtful to the people in the courtroom. He's a good man.

​@@lynnanderson9345 pq ]]]]

@@wpletch61 Biased how? I am not familiar with this Judge or even really anything about judicial officials in South Carolina, so I am genuinely curious of how he is biased.

well the prosecutor is asking a lot of stupid,questions

@@michaelfrank5239 No this prosecutor is doing a great job.

@@michaelfrank5239 agree

@@michaelfrank5239 the prosecutor will keep asking those questions until that bastard answers the questions.

Hes trying to control the questionning and to say , I am smarter than everybody else.

I wouldn’t say poor when mentioning them.

Poor mother and son? Paul Murdaugh killed a girl while he was intoxicatingly driving a boat and wrecked it into a pier and then his dad tried to corruptly get his son out of trouble. There is also speculation that his wife killed the housekeeper, so they are far from "woe is me". This family ruined lives.

I wouldn't say poor defining Maggie nor Paul they were both just as narcissistic and cold as Alex.

Exactly. People keep harping on it not being the financial trial but those questions and his responses are demonstrating he is a brazen liar that will attempt to convince you of something if it benefits him to do so. When you trust him. When he “cares” about you. When he needs you to believe him. They can start off tomorrow with him being a lying liar who lies, and then ask about the murders. That’s how I saw it.

The best evidence is still Paul's recording of Alex's voice down at the kennels where Paul and Maggie were murdered. This emerged after Alex claimed that he was up in the main house napping and that he never came down to the kennels..

@@ubertoyourmomshousetonitef4204 deep breaths bro, it’s gunna be ok. Just breathe! Remove the tin foil from your head and breathe in for 10 seconds and out for 10 seconds. Focus on your body being present in the moment and relax.

Waters hated whole family and reputation. Hell these two were in law school together. He wasn't only after AM but entire family. He should be accounted for slander for degrading all family members. Waters is such a jerk. He is a show boat and after case he gets on Twitter to see just how much publicity he recievced. His voice and the cork up his butt makes me sick. He is not the one who got points across. Last lawyer on state closing knocked it out of the park. Interview him media!!! Let Waters tweet back and forth to Trump.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

the Tom Girardi case, 2yrs ago-present should have had you asking your attorney more questions. This case was/is all over the news, and social media platforms

All it would show is the power & influence the M's possess and throw around. It doesn't show Alex doing anything in connection with their murders except the brothers taking the guns from the house.

How is it damning?

Netflix statement wait till whatever Defense turn its case so they go ahead since prosecutors rested last Friday

That all applies to another case. My guess the Judge wouldn't allow it.

Probably because they were paid for the Netflix series.

I'm surprised his legal team did not tell him to stop doing that, because it only made him look like he was trying to fool the jury.

They’re laying the groundwork for the financial motive behind the murders and that he has always lied in any situation that covered his wrongdoings, as e did for close to 2 years until he knew his lies were being exposed. Now it’s all “I don’t remember” and “I’m admitting to everything I did do wrong” The case the prosecution presented was based on his lies that he gave as testimony, now that the prosecution has rested, he’s changing everything he said happened that night. I hope he faces every additional charge they can lay on him. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

@@teresaworobetz5766 still tho this is a murder trial not an civil he may b a thief b a killer is tha doubt he is working on raisin doubt

all those financial examples got Murdaugh to admit that he really cared for those clients but he still stole their money - not a stretch to suggest that really caring for his family didn't stopped him killing them. Also that he's looking the jury in the eye and 'not lying' to them. He's an expert at looking people in the eye, convincing them that he's telling the truth, when he's lying.

agree 100 % with you. The fraud is different case this is about facts what happened at the murder scene seems to me the law enforcers focused on him only from very beginning because his lies and behavior. I looks like a farce already

Just wait....... the state is getting to that , before proving he is a BS liar for the past 20 years first

Me too. It was strange…PaulPaul, Bubba, Bus, Goober, Gomer, It’s me it’s me it’s Ernest T. !

Was he saying Papa and Ro ro. Seriously are we two?

@@pattyadams2338 LMFAOOOO right? Yes he literally keeps saying stuff like pawpaw

I wish he would ask him if he can get a suit that fits or if he thinks that makes him look more sympathetic.

@@pattyadams2338 He's so darn lovable, he just can't help it (hoping those 8 women on the jury want to mother him).
