I think his narcissistic personality disorder blinded him to the fact that she is as intelligent as he is...and more efficient, effective, and ORGANIZED. She has more common sense and the ability to read the room...which he does not. She had the upper hand all along and he never knew it. More over, she naturally possesses humility - something he wouldn't know if it bowed down to him or bitchslapped him ten ways to Sunday.

I am former City Clerk. I loved my job. However, after 5 years, I beame disabled, and so tried to work 1/2 time, which our City Council was fully supportive of. I HATED having to eventually leave that position, because the Council Members were so great to work with ( which, with so many people on the Council (5) many City Clerks have headaches to trying to juggle different personalities that many times have their own personal agenda. I was very lucky in my that respect. Our Council always kept the City as a priority, not their own agendas. Two weeks after I began my employment with the city the mayor who was there when I was hired wanted me to only listen to what he told me to do and not what the council told me to do when it came to directions concerning purchases for the city. I won't go into great detail but suffice to say I answered truthfully to the council when they question me about why I had not purchased governing body handbooks for them when they had asked me to the prior meeting 2 weeks prior to this. The mayor had come in and told me during the week not to order the handbooks, that he was in charge of me and the city, and that I was under his employment and his direction. So just put me in a hell of a position. I answer truthfully to the council why I had not ordered the books that next meeting when they questioned me. The mayor showed up the next day cussing me screaming at me, until one of the maintenance supervisors came in and shut him down verbally. Just by chance that night was going to be another night for council meeting. The council asked me did I order the books? I said yes I did. The mayor went berserk screaming and yelling at everyone, and basically saying the same things to the council that he had said to me. The council made it very clear to the mayor that the council as a whole was in charge of the city not just the mayor, and that I had done as they had requested, and I would not be punished for doing so. The mayor stood up, stated he was resigning, and stormed out. I was very nervous about my position at that point however I also knew that my integrity and honesty was not going to allow me to be bullied into being dishonest in any way shape or form. The next council meeting two weeks later I was given a substantial raise in pay, which wasn't necessarily a result of just that situation. It was a result of taking a city that was still writing out all of their utility bills by hand, keeping books by hand, and so many other things that needed updating. There was a computer brand new sitting in the corner of my office when I first started, and although the elderly woman who I replaced did an absolutely clear and concise job of tracking everything things needed to be established on a computer to save time, and to update many things. I had accomplished that, and very many other things that needed updating the first 3 months that I was there. This lady who is justifying in the peach shirt? I can feel her thoughts, and know what it's like to be put in a position where someone is doing something they shouldn't be doing, yet they are above you in authority, and try to use that authority to intimidate you into doing things that you know are not right. Ironically, Alex is the attorney, however she has much more common sense, and she was very smart to document anything that was questionable that was going on while she was in his employment. From everything I have watched over the last week or so about this trial, I think Alex comes from a long line of money, both family money, and money earned as an attorney. I also think that after his son (who acted as entitled as his father) have that boat wreck, and and Alex could not persuade people to do things in favor of his son or himself liability-wise, I think he went off the rails mentally completely ( which was not a long trip) and not knowing how to cope, take accountability for his mistakes in the way he raised his son and the mistakes that he made in how he was running his company etc, I think he did kill both his son and his wife for insurance money. I think he regrets doing that but not because he killed them. I think he regrets it because he got caught. Just like he got caught for redirecting money to continue his lavish lifestyle. This whole thing is a very sad situation which could have very easily been avoided. I do not think that Alex expected people to be truthful, and in fact expected people to cover his ass out of either loyalty, or fear and intimidation. I feel very sorry for the people surrounding Maggie and the family that is suffering because of his and his sons selfishness and disregard for others.

When you’re in deep it can be hard to see the forest through the trees and be certain of reality. We work under attorneys and ultimately do what they say- but support staff often tend to be the brains and backbone of a law firm and know more about the inner workings than the partners/attorneys. Most people would be so surprised I think. Also, the job can be very routine depending on the kind of law you practice - when something is out of the ordinary, it sticks out.

I agree. She is a strong woman. I think Alex underestimated the power these women would have in his testimony. He brushes them all off, is very arrogant and condescending the way he talks to them. Especially Shelly. Throwing that in about the wedding especially after telling her to say he’s been there 40 minutes, was pretty sorry. He assumed she could be bought, like many other people he had treated that way, and he thought she would be no different. But Mrs Shelly did the right thing and this lady did as well! He’s going away for life for these financial crimes regardless of how this trial plays out. His run is over!

My former boss was embezzling from the company he co-owned with his wife to pay for a luxury car and luxury home for a mistress. My boss had planned to blame ME for his embezzling. So I highly suspect Alex was planning on blaming the missing money on his paralegal. She caught him by chance, much like I caught my own boss.

Something tells me it wasn’t an addiction problem. Not even gambling or extortion or blackmail. I think Alex was just slowly stashing money in some offshore banks.

I think the stolen money is out there somewhere.
@colleenthompson4069
@colleenthompson4069 Год назад
he started the stealing when he got hit with a major lawsuit for the boat crash. And it was like a Ponzi that he created to keep under the radar...robbing Peter to Pay Paul. Paying settlements slowly and incrementally instead of giving the checks to the clients as was customary. He created a dummy account called Forge so he could funnel the money to himself. He also had some real estate investments go bad during the '08 recession AND he also had a certain lifestyle and image of wealth to keep up. It all eventually snowballed. And the house of cards began to fall, fall, fall... At least, that's my theory drawn from what I've seen so far.

This guy was not a pill popping addict like he claimed. The amount of pills at the most extorted amounts still wouldnt account for a 1 hundreadth of the funds claimed he spent on pills. And his memory is way to sharp and clear to recall the way he claims. Eating pills especaily larger dises will take 20 years and turn them into a giant blur. This drug addiction was just some excuse to pass blame and hide the fact that he still has millions stashed somewhere.

I call BS on his claim he spent 50k a week on pills. I was addicted to opiates for over 25 yrs. I typically took about 20 pills per day. Give or take, sometimes more. I functioned just fine. Never missed a day of work. It DID COST ME ROUGHLY 300 to 500 a week give or take over the yrs. Sometimes I would get breaks and get them free or lot cheaper. I NEVER paid more than 500 in a week and that was actually very rare. So to say he was spending 50k a week is bs. That amount of pills would KILL YOU. I even had some close calls using 20 pills a day. Thank God those days are over!

It was so powerful when she said no one cared about the stealing when his family was murdered.

Honestly it’s almost like he was mad at his son for that boat accident because that’s when things started to come out. And maybe it’s true his marriage was in trouble.
