Alex Murdaugh goes through timeline from night of the murders 

I thought the same thing..I can remember exactly where we were, and what was said when I lost a loved one..he has selective memories that helps himself..

I TOTALLY agree. Some details come later but I can clearly remember my last day with my lost loves

Maybe he has PTSD

I don’t know… there are snapshots of extreme clarity, but stretches of time can be warped. No question.

​Kristi, but with two loved ones dying? One should have a clear memory of that day.

Great point!

exactly.

Lol

You think so? 🤨 I don't.

​@moi meself delusional

pretty easy to do. AM is screwing himself all on his own. Easy work for Prosecutor

Murda, ugh.

No he wasn't. Maggie asked him.

exactly

He didn't exactly lie. He gave estimates if you watch the videos and even said his phone would show exact times but he said he wasn't sure.

@@farmerchick3040 he lied.

Bubba caught the chicken and the murderer. In one bite.

If only Paul had that video goin for a few more minutes…😢

@@shavondawhite9298 I lost my breath when I read your comment. If only Paul had kept his video going. I believe he would have captured the murder. I believe Paul turned around after the bird shot hit him and seen his dad aiming that gun at him for the fatal shot. I believe Maggie was running toward her child. Her instincts were to protect him. She knew it was Alex shooting her. The first two shots on Maggie were not instantly fatal so she knew who was shooting her.

After just watching the video, I couldn't believe AM didn't know why the prosecution was asking him that question! That was key to his claiming someone else was the shooter! LOL AM thought he was so smart, but obviously he was NOT!

i think there is a lot of information that can cause reasonable doubt. We will have to wait and see.

@@melbabowen4389 that is reasonable... you seem like a person with a balanced point of view

Alex has the dubious and highly rare accolade of being the ONLY PERSON PRESENT at the crime scene both BEFORE AND AFTER the murders. And as any law enforcement officer will tell you, theres a very high ratio of the person either being the last person to be with/see the victims , or finding a deceased person is very often the same person responsible for their deaths. Added to that Alex was the ONLY person to be present immediately after their deaths, so he's not only the last person to see both victims literally moments before their deaths, but he's also the first and only person to find their deceased bodies and the only person to be present at the crime scene after their murders. The law of averages dictates that to have one of those is rare, two of those is exceptionally rare, but to have all 3 apply to this man is virtually incalculable.

​@@justnoted2995unbiased. That's what everyone needs to be at this point because all the info has not unfolded yet

is it Alec or Alex?

No. He planned it

He used two different guns. He lured them there.

LOL 😆

exactly. They should have taken the questioning in a different direction presuming that he is the murderer,

Did he hit her with the golf cart ?!

And she drop her phone and when he was in the car he slow down to look for it? Or he throw it because he was going to check it . But thought against it

I think he ran her over and then shot her

YES!

​@@graceb6381 her phone didn't record any steps between 831 and 849, she left her phone in the golf cart. They rode down together.

He wanted the wild hogs to come in to muddle up the crime scene, all that blood, brains and Maggie had a gut shot, dead chicken he deliberately did overkill hoping to bring in the wild hogs which are nocturnal feeders. My theory

@@ailsa4584 Interesting - but I think the hogs have learned to stay away from that home with the many gun loving men and dogs. The Murdaugh men but also their friends and visitors were ready to shoot hogs whenever they saw them and with whatever ammunition they had * and the animals are not stupid. (actually pigs are said to be as smart as dogs.) Leaving a body so the hogs would find it, mutilate it and thus make a correct autopsy impossible, would be a way to mess up the evidence. But I do not think that AM could realistically hope the hogs would come CLOSE to the house and would come within 50 minutes. It could have worked if the bodies had been a few days in the forest away from the house. * lawyer Ronnie Crosby that worked in the same lawfirm and was a friend of the family. On the stand he was asked about hunting, what weapons the Murdaugh men used, hog hunting in general and how they did it. He has also a property. Sounded like a large one too, that is good for hunting. He said that the hogs are a pest all over the south because they do so much damage with their diggign and trampling down. In his opinion If you have them on your property, you always have a rifle with you if you drive or ride around your property. Just in case that you would see a hog - to be able to kill it. One of the other brothers of Alex (John-Marvin) also hunts but said he did not always carry a rifle when driving around on the property. He did not do it - but he also did not find it unusual that someone would have that stance. - So feral hogs are really unpopular in the South and are hunted mercilessly and it is always open season on them. I read that at some time the hog farmers released lots of hogs. There must have been an unexpected drop in prices for pork (maybe a disease and other countries would not import the meat, and domestic demand is not high enough, so prices dropped). Costs for feed would have been higher that what farmers could get for the pork, and killing them prematurely means work, and also costs. So they just let them run (those were lucky hogs, especially if they were not already crippled from factory farming). Now they do very wel there and procreate like crazy and have become feral. Likely also mixed with the real wild hogs. Likely the hunters of the South have done a too good job to get rid of all predators like coyotes. And in that areas there are no alligators (I think) so no one but humans hunts them. They had and have a blast ever since. Ronnie Crosby said that if he or the hunters he knew wanted to hunt birds (and had the ammunition and weapons that were a fit for that) and if he or other hunters came by chance across a hog, they would still shot at the hog. likely would not kill it (only if you were very close) but they would shoot at it nontheless. (I disagree with that strongly, if you cannot kill an animal you do not only wound it and let it die in agony or suffer from the wounds. But he made it sound like all hunters were very intent to kill hogs, not matter what, no matter the time, no matter the equipment). He said he had killed hundreds of them - in the daytime. I wonder if they let the hogs lay around ? There are no wolves, bears, pumas around and maybe also no coyotes that could deal with the carcasses. Females and younger ones can be eaten, but male hogs must taste terrible (the male hormones). Male hogs that are raised for pork are eaten young - or they are cut (testicles) to the hormones will not taint the pork. Anyway: a halfway intelligent hog would have learned it was no good idea - at all - to come close to that house - and the mothers teach the young.

it really has, and it's just a local/regional story.

because this is about a family that seemingly loved one another and it is still mind boggling what happened. The Epstein Maxwell case is one of the ugliest cases and it wa basically thrown under the rug due to all the journalists, politicians, hollywood and other people that went to the island.

@@brettcantrell8650 It's also because of different laws governing different states. Not all of them permit trials to be filmed

He didn’t plan on killing Maggie just Paul. I think Maggie heard the shots and came back after leaving the kennel and found Paul dead and Alex cleaning up and removing clothes. So then she had to go, so he grabbed Paul’s gun and then killed her.

Absolutely 💯💯💯 great comment 👍

Please shorten your comments. It's rude to leave 4 PARAGRAPHS. make a simple comment and that's it

@Steve McMillan thank you for taking the time to post your opinion and observations. Spot on!!!

If you find the part where CW asks if he’s been stealing money from clients since 2010, he answers in the affirmative like I don’t know if it was 2010 or not but I’ve been stealing for a long time ( I’m paraphrasing), WATCH his smirk likes he’s PROUD. Called Duper’s Delight…remembering facts in one’s mind that please you.

@@Dahmer_Jeff I know it’s difficult to read more than a couple sentences at a time, but it’s ok. Just keep practicing and one day you may just be able to read a chapter book! 🎉

Yes he did. And he told the carer to say he was there for 30 to 40 minutes

Todd Gaak I thought the same thing! Glad you pointed that out! LOL💀🤥

He needed 2 to confuse the case

Good point, though. Very plausible.

he shot paul at 3ft with the shotgun thats from the body examiner's mouth so explain to me how he shot paul at 3ft with the shotgun while on the golf cart

I didn't know about the tire marks

correct. He said that as soon as he took the chicken out of the dogs mouth, he went on the golf cart and "he did what he did not want to do". He's basically confessing on the stand. And probably those weapons came from Paul's truck which was parked in front of the house.

Stalling at its best

He is trying badly to get sympathy from the jury

I feel like that also.

Exactly. He s a player …. I d like to know how much life insurance he had on his family.

He didn't have life insurance on Maggie and Paul. But Maggie wouldn't sign over the real estate he needed for a loan. Paul was going to be tried for Mallory Beaches death and her lawyers wanted to see Alex s financials.

@@sedona816 yet he had it on the housekeeper Can u just imagine not having insurance in their money starving world

@@sedona816 Ah, there's a motive for AM killing Paul, right there! Thank you, I did not know that.

@@loucanterbury2359 he did NOT have insurance on the housekeeper. He had liability coverage from the property insurance and that also covered damages when dogs did harm to others. Such coverage is routinely sold with property insurance (fire, storm, flooding, water damages). Even a regular home can easily have 1,5 million max. coverage for liability - and of course that large property had more coverage. Insurance agents also tend to get wealthy people "premium" coverage: More things are covered, higher max. coverage - and the yearly premiums are higher, and so is the commission ;) for the insurance agent.

He pauses before answering then keeps saying “according to the timeline” or “according to the report”. That way he can’t cross over and get caught in a lie. The data is his “new” realty.

Yes!! Where is there ANY new information that hasn’t been stated already somewhere on record??

Yep. He begins to craft a new story based on the evidence and data the prosecution/testimonials haves

How can anyone forget the last conversation /words he had with his wife?????? I would think someone would remember the last words spoken to someone you loved & had died. He did it.

He was a lawyer for private injuries, civil cases - not a defense lawyer. I could be wrong, but I think the whole law firm specialized in those cases.

Mixed feelings? What are you mixed about?

I did too...until I saw the cell phone records, with the pings putting him there, and showing all the texts that were deleted then later retrieved

He can remember the conversation he had with his housekeeper Blanca about clothes, but can't even remember the last words of his wife....

No MIXED FEELINGS NECESSARY

@@silkcustoms520 thanks for telling me what to think. I was really at a loss.

LOL 😆

That's exactly what I was thinking. LOL 😆

He was TRYING to be careful with what he was saying, but all he was really doing is making himself look BAD!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing and how arrogant he was! LOL

He was a civil lawyer. I think he only tried five criminal cases as an assistant.

@@KristiLEvans1 what ever this man had 2 do with the courts should be looked into ALL THINGS AND WHO HE DID THEM WITH 4 BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCKS 2GATHER

@@chrisskinner6291 they’ve tolerated 100 years of this mafioso family. They aren’t retrying. They’re probably trying out the replacement tyrants.

this man is a puzzle.

When the camera is facing the courtroom, the jury sits to the right. They are not on camera. It would be helpful if there was a notice on the bottom of the screen indicating if they are in the room or not because if you're watching on tv you can't tell.

The jury is to the murderers right here

Wild hogs wont eat a body that fast and will look for the same feed that has been in the area. Not like the 400+ farm raised.

@@jasonrichardson6899 Thank you for the clarification that a psychopathic double murderer was really focusing in on what kind of pig will or won’t eat his wife and son. You have no idea how much better you just made my weekend!!!!

Awesome! If you want something else to do this weekend you should probably try to explain why if you wanted to kill these people he didn't just kill Paul when they were out in the middle of nowhere.....

The hogs would not be so stupid to come so close to the house with 3 men eager and capable to hunt them, never mind the visiting hunters. Plus dogs present. - If he could have placed the bodies in the forest and they would not be missed for a few days - yes then being in hog country could have helped him. A proper autopsy would have been impossible if the hogs would mutilate and partially eat the deceased.

He was angry and had hate in his heart. He wanted the boat issue to go away. So, this is why he wanted PawPaw dead. Also, his financial stuff about the boat issue would also go away with Paul's death... He wanted Maggies' estate money (beach house) to sell and give to make up the financial theft. He saw how people reacted when his father was on his death bed. He thought his life would get better with these two family members out of the picture and he would perhaps be able to regain his old life again...a focus on only him...he is narcistic.

I don't believe that was his motive either.

@@miriammuniz3073 That sounds like a more likely motive.

And the distraction worked. Very well. He was THAT close to being busted following the confrontation on June 7th. His schemes were brazen, but not brilliant or sophisticated, There was a paper trail, only the culture of blind trust made it possible to steal, but once they would start probing, they would find more and more - and he knew that. On June 7th, afternoon he was saved by the bell. CFO got out of his hair when he got the phone call that his father was worse and in the hospital again. His father had cancer, was old, his death was not an unexpected tragedy - he did die 3 days later - but even that sympathy (she knew his father, lawfirm was like a family) helped Alex M. to get out of a very tense meeting. It was a about one case but a large amount. The murders happened the same night - and the CFO and Alex' team member that had been on his heels (both, they had not yet informed the partners, wanted to be sure before they would drop such a bomb), let him off the hook. This sympathy for the man whose wife and son had been murdered bought him 2,5 more months. He was hardly in the lawfirm after the murders and the CFO got back to the unpleasant affair mid / end August. When searching she found that it was even worse, and beginning of September he was confronted and fired. Lawfirm hired auditors and got authorities involved. One day after that confrontation and firing he had the roadside fake shooting / suicide incident (his brother Randy helped authorities to bust him, told them about contacts between Eddie and Alex). One theory is that he wanted to set up Eddie. HE would shoot him in "self defense" - and maybe he could draw attention of the dead man as the potential killer of his wife and son. But Eddie smelled the coffee and was cautious, and AM ended up with a harmless wound when the bullet grazed his head. Either way they bungled that. Most life insurance policies do pay in case of suicide, only the policy must be older than 2 years. If that applies to his contract then the argument that he wanted Buster to have that money but it had to look like murder, accident or natural death - and not suicide - is not relevant. He could have taken his life and Buster would be provided for. And there is a pattern: He is busted - something dramatic happens that is calculated to garner him a lot of sympathie (as victim of an assassination attempt, the hero that successfully defended himself against a killer - and maybe he got the man that had killed his family). The testimony of the paraligal of his team is impressive - how well the distraction by murder worked. He knew the people around him, and how much they cared for him and his family. missing 792,000 in form of 2 cheques, 600,000 should have gone to the lawfirm as fee I think 192,000 were for costs, like experts, court costs She and CFO suspected foul play, but still hoped it would not be as bad, that it was due to his usual sloppy ways, some mistake but no criminal intent. Both were worried and upset. After the murders they completely dropped their investigations - for a while. The whole law firm rallied to his side, they feared killers were after his family, that Buster, his brother Randy and Alex were in danger. So that worked too - it bought him approx 2,5 months. The lawyer Mark Tinsley that represented the parents of Mallory Beach learned about the homicides around 11 pm (he thinks still June 7th - so news travel fast in that community). In his mind the chance that the Murdaugh family would settle out of court for 10 million USD (their offer) was over. At that time he assumed that the family was rich, but the Murdaugh family did not have that kind of money and could not accept that offer. After the tragic events - the settlement (out of court or awarded by a jury) would be much less and a trial would not help, in such cases it all depended on the jury and if they had sympathies for the man that had lost family member because of murders, they would not award a large settlement. And if the murder was suspected to be revenge for the accident of Mallory then it would be even worse. The jury would be locals and they all would know about the tragedy. So AM planned right and bringing up the boat accident immediately as motive for killers (revenge) made sense in that context. It provided a distraction for the investigators and it helped with the public opinion - and the lawsuit. If he had driven a vintage car, had left his phone at home and had properly disposed of both phones (Maggie's and Paul's - the kennel video was not online it was ONLY on the device, that is why they only saw it in April 2022, it took months to unlock the phone of Paul) he might have been able to pull it off. As heir of Maggie he could sell property w/o needing her O.K. (she had recently refused to sell the beachfront property, worth approx. 4 million USD). His best course of action would have been to take a lot of the money and to flee the country. It was not realistic that the lawfirm would drop their investigation forever, and it was certain they would find a lot once they started searching. I do not think they would have taken several million dollars from Alex would have compensated the clients and kept silent about his stealing. Even IF he could have come up with enough money to undo the financial damage, they would have gotten authorities involved. But maybe in his drugged mind he thought he would get out of this situation, could avoid murder AND fraud charges. The criminal and civil law suit because of Paul's drunken accident was no problem for him anymore.

Paul had an upcoming lawsuit case where Mallory beach's lawyers were potentially demanding 30 to 40 million $$ from Alex for her death. Maggie was about to get divorced from him...The morning of June 7, his CFO had demanded answers about stealing from the law firm...then the chicken and the dogs... he was up against the wall....don't know why he is putting so much emphasis on the chicken and the dogs.... was that also a trigger?
