Attorney Ronnie Crosby knew Alex Murdaugh and his family well. He identified the third voice on a cell phone video on the night of the killings as Alex. #alexmurdaugh #murdaugh
@@jenniferpalsrok3857 Alec is rocking back and forth with fear. He's an arrogant lowlife, and going to spend the rest of his life in jail. Sucking black men off.
@@ariadneschild8460 I have a feeling we’ll be hearing a lot more about Ronnie Crosby . As for his description of Paul, aside from the part where he describes Paul “hunting” wild hogs with hog dogs then killing them with a KNIFE, it’s very different from from what is already known about Paul, as a child then young adult. The word CRUEL was used , even as a young child , but the way Paul took pleasure in torturing and slaughtering wild hogs , putting dogs at risk of severe injury or death for the love of the sport, does give us a glimpse of what Paul was like.
@@justanothersmith6012 I'm not as bothered by the pig hunting bc it's normal in Australia due to their feral status. So many are up in arms about things irrelevant to the murder.
Yes, the ripple effect. Just think how some of these gentlemen who were in AM law firm could of had a heart attack from the stress. Think what their wives even went through. The secretary’s and accountants. It’s all just tragic and horrible.
He just reminds me of a privileged, arrogant, bully. I just wonder how many people were happy to see this happen to him. Not murdering his family & hurting people, but to be exposed for he who really is and knocked from his throne.
Wow.. Mr. Crosby was very obviously devastated by the death of the Murdaughs. He comes across as a very good friend and an honest man and I think this was extremely difficult for him, to testify.
I have never seen a more cold, calculating stare of guilt than when Alex stares at Ronnie after he id'd Alex's voice on the cell phone video. A complete example of the eyes revealing the soul.
Looks mean nothing, good grief. 🙄 If that were true prisons would be filled with only ugly people. ‘Trustworthy’ lawyers is pretty much an oxymoron. They sell their souls and twist everything. They are trained to do so.
Or he was questioned by police, is therefore just giving the same testimony; not knowing it proves his buddy is a crooked liar who killed his wife and child.
@@makeupchick9544 - Umm, he’s been questioned by more than the Police. He’s been an Attorney for decades, you don’t think he knows what he’s testifying to? 🙄
The overwhelming consensus from Alex's colleagues was that he was really good with people and how to read them and to connect with them. In other words he was a master bullshitter and a manipulator of people. Two very strong and prominent traits of a narcissist and a Psychopath.
He was a good old boy just like they all were. Believe me all of them are suspicious. Who is friends with him was receiving benefits just like mr lafitte. And guess what? He’s not in prison even though he was convicted. These people make me sick!
Sadly, these witnesses are far more devastated than Alex has ever been about the loss of his son. Litigators with 30-40 years of experience, who know how to control their emotions and feelings. It’s been more than a year and a half and their heartbreak is still fresh. Alex Murdaugh is a sociopath, narcissistic, cold blooded snake. God bless and be with all of these broken hearted souls 💔🙏🏻
He's a terrible person obviously, but I do think at some point he regretted it, and many of his tears may be legit. He just didn't have to balls to kill himself.
He’s just a good actor just like Alex….No way the Firm didn’t know what Alex was doing for decades! What it comes down to is Alex is taking one for the Team however, they all will be taking care of Alex financially such as his attorney fees & whatever he wants & can have in prison for 👉the rest of his life to keep his mouth shut!
That is what I think there is no way the other lawyers did not know what was going on they took up for Alex and I do believe he and Maggie where arguing that why he does not remember what was going on at dinner and other times times
@@carleenkinte8622 if you watched the trial you will get answers to your questions. Also after the lawyers discovered what was happening they hired a forensic auditor to do an internal investigation aswell as their own internal investigstion.
Just when you think you have grasped what AM has done, more comes out. The fact that this man’s family had a relationship with the young woman who AMs son killed just adds to the devastation.
This is heartbreaking. I feel so sad for all the people who were deceived by the defendant. This witness obviously cared very deeply for the defendant and his family. 😞💔
Bless this man. Mr Crosby seems like a man with integrity. He has also been seriously snowed, by AM. Been run through an emotional ringer, and challenged by a trusted friend, family friend, and “brotherly” colleague. Then to have to articulate it all, on the stand, in front of the whole court and the world. *shudder.
Yeah his little stutters here and there really hit me in the heart, this man shouldn't have had to feel any of this.. none of the good people around Alec Murder should have felt any of this.
He does seem very passionate but also remember he’s a very good lawyer and they know what to say. He already knew how to answer these questions. He wouldn’t have answered those questions the way he did if he was not an atty. A friend would question why their friend took money. I would want to know if he was being threatened or what was going on? This was too clean! I’m not saying Alex is innocent but no one questioned where the money was? What happened to yearly reports. If my company invested money I would want to know where it was and the balance. You don’t trust anyone with that large amount of money.
Thank you Ronnie, you are my favorite witness so far. You were genuine and true. You also broke my heart, when you spoke about Paul. You are a good man.
Alec thought he committed the perfect crime! He intentionally used two different weapons to secure reasonable doubt, if needed. But how difficult is it for an avid hunter to carry a rifle on his shoulder while shooting another weapon?? For all of his meticulous planning he couldn't account for the human variable...Paul talking to his friend on the phone & then recording the dog Cash!
The Lord works in mysterious ways. When I heard AM talking about his son cellphone during 911 call I was shocked that this would be his focus. I understand now why...
Agree. I mean look at all of us just watching the trial. I’ve cried COUNTLESS times. ESPECIALLY when Paul & Maggie’s injuries are explained. I didn’t even know these people and I’m sick, and devastated. I can’t begin to imagine the pain their friends and family are feeling. 😢
People knew this man for decades and never really knew who he really was. So this questioning of him be loving husband and father doesn't hold up well.
Ya I don't know if I completely buy it. Maybe they didn't know all the details, but they had to know something was off. They probably choose to look the other way considering the money he was bringing in and his family name.
I said that people only said that probably because he told them to or because that’s what they showed people outside but didn’t allow them to see them behind closed doors people only sho you what they want you to see
This is so sad. Everybody talks about how Paul was spoiled, entitled, and responsible for Mallory's death, but this man remembers him as a longtime friend and a buddy to his own son, and he weeps.
This man’s children were considered equals, or nearly so, by Paul and possibly Maggie. Alec doesn’t consider anyone to be HIS equal. Everyone was there to meet his personal needs.
It was said that Paul was not the favorite with his father nor his mother. It's sad he didn't have the chance to become a better person. If his father killed him, which I believe he did, he knew it. That is a terrible way to die.
I am sure both sides of Paul were there. When someone has a drinking problem, they can change in behavior. as with all teens and kids in their early twenties, they show a different face to their friends than adults - I know I did.
Let's be real, he wasn't the only one drinking that night. They all had been. Accidents happen. Not like he did it on purpose. People see a family with money and automatically think they're entitled snobs without knowing them at all.
@@BK-uf6qrmy guy... It's always been that way, you just were prejudicial. Welcome to the fold, where there are no good or bad people, only people doing good or bad things... Where everyone is a criminal one way or another. Our entire existence and social structure is inherently built upon harming one another for our own gain. It doesn't have to be a zero sum game, but it's hard to change such rigid rules of millenia. By the way, I was in prison with blue and white collar criminals alike. The guys from better financial backgrounds usually had more of these insane and drastic charges and stories. Ironically enough, because of people who didn't think they looked like a bad guy or a criminal. Just like Alex , they were skilled at the art of seduction and bullshit. So when the levee finally breaks , it breaks in spectacular fashion. The guys you think look like criminals typically didn't start that way, they just had a gradual increase in their crimes and severity - typically STARTING innocently enough because of a warped world view that allowed them to take riskier and riskier indulgences for the sake of survival or pleasure. As crazy as this case is, it's nothing new. One of the guys that stands out to me best is the regional flight traffic controller of the FAA for the entire Midwest region. He snapped one night and took a 30-30 and blew his wife's legs clean off. Ironically enough, again, they were arguing over money... Everyone wants more more more. He'd have gotten less time if she'd actually died too. Count your blessings folks, and open your mind a bit as to your own preconceived notions and your own ego and humility. We are all just walking different paths to the same places.
Well said, sir. We have ALL done things we are not proud of or could be in jail for, just not all are caught. We do not end up in the same place, most do end up 6ft deep but some will go with Jesus and the rest go to the lake of fire. It is our given free will to repent for our sins, as a sin is a sin and looked at as the same level even though murder is the most horrible, I believe, but so is lying and cheating. We can all choose to turn our lives around, come to repent and go to Jesus, and be better people that we need to be. We all need to realize, we are human, we make mistakes, be nice and lend out a hand to lift other off of their feet when they fall, it is not "if" it's "when" we fall that we need the most help. I pray all these people involved get the rightful healing they deserve! God bless you sir and all the others reading this and going through something no one knows about, the light will still shine!
damn I teared up listening to him talk about knowing Paul. Everything is pointing towards Alex, not away, but even without the murder charges, its clear that Alex was a deceptive manipulator of the highest order.
Man, Alex caused so much pain for so many. He was so lucky to have all those good people in his life who loved & cared for him. Greed is an evil thing. He crushed their hearts & souls. #JusticeFor Maggie&Paul
Listening to these attorneys get up there and cry genuine tears is pretty humanizing for a lawyer. I actually like these lawyers a lot for how vulnerable they have to be in public. I know that is hard. ❤️
Would the witnesses not need to express grief and sorrow after finding one of the partners was misappropriating funds from trust funds administered by their firm. That’s quite an offense for a attorney.
On a technical note: Every time I watch a witness taking the stand in this case, it bothers me that almost all of them have to bend forward to speak into the microphone. My question is: can't the microphone be adjusted so that they can just focus on the content of their answers rather than also think about being audible over the microphone?
It can't be adjusted much at all. This is the worst witness stand I've ever seen. The chair looks terribly uncomfortable, and the witnesses look uncomfortable. Meanwhile, the judge's chair is about a $500 chair. (I like the judge btw)
@RV there yet? I don't know how much the city actually paid for it, but Emily D Baker channel has a link to what is supposed to be the same chair for $500. I just think if it wasn't obvious to them before, it should be now they need to do some shopping. Maybe they should start a gofundme, and Tinsley can donate enough to cover it. He did say it was uncomfortable.
I know exactly what you mean. And, no not that he can just get up and leave (obviously 🙄) But to sit there and hear literally everything come out that what he thought would go with him to the grave. The level of embarrassment has to be unbelievable 😬
He can’t go anywhere but a narcissist does not have empathy. The only time he rocks himself to self sooth is when he is wounded. He does not care for others. He disgusts me!
I know he can’t leave idiots but to sit there and look all those people in the face like nothing happened and to the people he consider friends. He has to have a stone cold heart.
You are not alone. I was trying to pack for a trip as I have the week off, but I was drawn to the sweet and gentle nature of this man. He reminded me so much of my dear brother who has Alzheimer's disease. The witness was obviously devastated and wore his heart on his shirt sleeve. I guess we really don't know those we love as well as we think we do. Such a breach of trust and such a loss will always tear at his heart and memories. Poor guy. This is such a complex case, and there are so many excellent witnesses. Who knows where it will all end. A. Murdoch's face has such a flat affect. I wonder what he is thinking. His best friend was torn with grief and he is a blank page. Grief? Denial? Suppression of emotions?
Opiate users have a flattened affect. But I truly doubt the truth, as he states it , regarding his reported level of use. It seems clinically impossible to me.
If Crosby had watched the video of Paul at the dock (after Mallory was missing, dead) he would have seen the real Paul Murdaugh. In the ambulance, Paul was blaming others, even though he refused to give up piloting the boat. 3 witnesses reported Paul was the driver of the boat.
@@lucyElaine5656 I always thought Paul & his mom helped Alex with that. The 9-1-1 call was so disturbing. I didn't hear urgency and Paul continuously sounded as if he was aggravated with the dispatcher on the phone. I remember thinking she wasn't dead yet, and they needed that to happen before the EMT's arrived. Isn't it ironic the maid tried over a dog and died, them the wife and son dies in the dog kennels area. Faking his attempted murder/suicide Alex was shot (grazed) in the head, Paul brains were blown out, and the wife faired no better. Alex murder methods didn't seem to switch up much.
AM immediately called his law firm partners to run over to the crime scene knowing it would create chaos, confusion and contamination. It was a pre-meditated attempt on AM’s part to destroy evidence. An innocent person, especially a person who has worked in any type of legal investigation, would know to preserve the integrity of the crime scene in order to find the killers. Tire tracks are particularly important in this case, and Alex knew that. What better way to eliminate that evidence than to invite people in to drive over it?
Me too and that is why I think possibly AM may have been a fairly nice guy at one time. I know it’s hard to believe I know but how could of he of had these long time friends of integrity that trusted him! He may of gone down hill steadily after getting on drugs?
@@janicescott7338 As long as a narcissist / sociopath is being admired and getting his way or he's attempting to manipulate people, he can be the epitome of charming and agreeable. But when you say "no" to one, he can turn absolutely nasty and vicious.
I was thrilled to hear a person speak in such measured tones, with such accuracy and thoughtfulness. Our society at large seems unable to communicate anymore. With hundreds of, "like... you know" peppering sentences, non-stop f-bombs, half sentences topped off with continual, "you know what I mean?". I am forever saying, "no I don't". Why should I hear half a dozen partial sentences, three dozen f-bombs and agree that a communication has taken place when it hasn't.
Amazing. The son he kill3d is the one who will put him behind bars for their murders with that video. Alex wasn't thinking when his son was video taping about the dog. This is incredible and damaging evidence against Alex. This was meant to happen this way.
@@lindakaufmann9099 I don't think he knew Paul had made the video. He would have destroyed the phone if he had known. Thank goodness for those two dogs!
The pain is written all over his face. To be played like this must have hurt like hell when this all came out! Time has passed since this happened, but many are still affected by his crimes.
@@lindaross783 Criminals will do anything for money ,there's know allegedly about that . That's facts . This man has been a criminal for a long time . After hearing his voice on the recording at around the time of the deaths and him denying he was their . Guilty .
My husband and his brothers inherited a church from their late father. It took about 2 years before the other brothers realized that one had swindled 60 thousand dollars from the church account. This particular brother is charming, generous, larger than life personality! Their late father always sheltered the one brother from his financial failures, he even had accounts he used after their fathers death( in the dead father's name) It's not hard to see how Alec's partners could be blinded for a while, but eventually they knew what he was! I believe sooner than they are now publicly claiming!
How does a person "inherit a church"? Did he inherit the building the church leased, maybe? A church doesn't "belong" to any one person, or at least no church I've ever known. Notwithstanding, for someone in a church to steal is especially evil.
@@abc-wv4in Their father founded that church in 1969. Yes, they own the building. There are generations of family members that still attend to this day. A church is still a business, bills still have to be paid. Yes, someone owns the church. Lol
hia face at @35:07 when he acknowledges that he is probably going to have to hear the snapchat video that basically 100% confirms he was at the kennels is kind of heartbreaking. Like he knows he has to do it. But it's such a betrayal as a friend as a family member as a partner to have the evidence to prove that he was at the scene of the crime minutes before it happened..
The most important thing Crosby said in his testimony was that he definitely identified Alex Murdaugh speaking in the video that Paul had posted…proving Alex is lying.
😂 this guy is a hoot. He looks so serious and then when asked about his reaction to Alex wanting to hide fees because of the boat case, he said “oh fu*#ck, no we’re not!” Love him.
There goes Alex again putting his head down when the evidence came out trying to push out some tears like every inmate I use to supervise trying to bring some pity for the incident that they caused.
This man, Mr Crosby, is a very good and very kind man. Even after all this time he still tears up about Paul and you can tell that he loved him like a son. So sorry for all of the pain that AM has caused all these people.
My heart goes out to this man. Genuine. Loved this family.He will Never un-see this tragedy. I lost a Sister...her killer never found. It plays over and over in the mind. My heart goes out to Anyone who has had to live this.
Broke my heart listening to this man. I can't even elaborate except to say it brought me to tears. What an absolute rare treasure to have a friend like this man. You couldn't ask for a better blessing . Paul died a wealthy man. And no I'm not talking about money.
This man is one of the kindest gentlemen that I know personally. He has a heart of gold. Breaks my heart to see him like this. He is shattered. He is not your typical lawyer stereotype. He is who he is on the stand.
That look of disgust on AM's when being identified, you can't miss it. A man who single handedly wiped out his family's future. Epitome of evil betrayal.
so heartbreaking you can tell he cared deeply for Paul! he was more then a kid who caused a wreck even though that was aweful! He was also a human being who was good with kids.
@@lexooo I didn't put much stock in the friends testimony on it.... at the time I thought that Paul was speaking to the dog, like we all speak to dogs....in a goofy tone, and then, turned his head maybe and said "it's a chicken"..... this time though, I thought I heard Alec. Clearly.
@@OneBadAssMoMo totally get what your saying but Pauls friend said he thought he heard him over the phone at the time but was 100% sure he heard him in the video
He knows that's him on the video talking he gets visibly upset every time he hears it. This is big, 2 people now have said that's Alex voice in the snapchat video.
@Brianna Cartwright yy but they still need to find more evidence. Theft is not a reason to murder. If you think he killed them to try and get out of legal liability that's out there
@@johnengland8619hat man is a crackhead sir. And he has the decision making skills of one. He’s used to being able to manipulate and scam people to cover his ass. He’s been playing kicking the can of financial ruin for a long long time and he’s thinking what he always does… I just need a little more time to finagle this. Except for the first time in his life, times up. Desperate, drug addled minds do desperate drug addled things 😅
What stuns me is that no one, not one lawyer, not a friend, not a family member, ever stood up and confronted Alex Murdaugh (or even his out of control son, Paul) about their anti-social behavior and all the tragedy that unfolded because no one seemed to acknowledge outwardly truth.
As a European, I will never understand how it is possible to be surrounded by so many guns in America. Finally start regulating it and you won't have these problems.
Three law firms representing one client. Each paid $900,000. Experts and investigators paid $500,000, hospital fees $1,5 million. Total $4.7 million off the top. Client received $800,000. Who is the criminal.
This poor man is more devastated over the loss of Paul than Paul's own father is. Alex thinks rocking back and forth shows grief? No, it displays attention-seeking, dramatic tendencies.
lies! Paul was talking to his friend on his cell phone in the Kennel & was recording a video to text to his friend. the friend heard Alex's voice on the call, and in the video, seen after because he didnt send it before he was killed. Alex was there.
This one's heartbreaking you can feel the emotions that this man feels❤️💔 How sickening to watch Alex pretend to be upset. 😡and still the defense attys are nauseating.
Poor guy probably has PTSD from this. I hope he gets continued mental health support to wade through the shock from the murders, the grief of family friends, the visual of the bodies and biological material, and the severe manipulation, theft, and betrayal from someone he loved.
