What an EXCEPTIONAL young man--intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken, mature, respectful, and patriotic. I'm impressed! His parents should be VERY proud of him. That young man is the type of man that this country needs more of.

This very young man is so amazing! He will go far in his life••• no doubt. He took his responsibility as a juror so well. I’m so impressed..

That young juror's integrity gives me hope for the future. And one more shout out for the honorable judge.

What a bright, articulate young man.

So impressed by the juror interviewed. He really gave one the impression that the jury as a whole had approached all information in an intelligent & analytical way. It is HARD to then answer questions in front of TV cameras! He did it like a pro! 👏 👏👏

Mr. McDowell, very well spoken. Best juror interview responses I’ve heard

I'm a mama of two boys, my eldest is 22. I can't imagine the horror of hearing gunshots, then running to protect your baby to see their father blow his head off then taking off after you. Like a horror movie in real life.... 😔

James is an outstanding juror! He needs to be recruited to become an intern at a law firm. He's fantastic!

Such an impressive young man. Thank you for your service to help bring about justice. Wishing you many blessings in life.

James is an excellent juror. Thank you James for your service.

Very articulate young man! Much integrity, much maturity and stellar job answering all questions with fluidity; and does an excellent job of representing the jury as a whole.

I absolutely love that he is in construction! We have intellectual people who have abstract reasoning skills in all fields and professions!! Way to go James. Your steps were orchestrated for such a time as this!!!

I agree, Mr. McDowell was articulate and seemed intelligent and very thoughtful in considering this case.

What a remarkable young man. God bless you James. We can only imagine the images you saw and the weight of this heavy burden to find justice for the 2 slain.

These jurors are freaking incredible!!!!

I’m very impressed with this juror and a couple of the lady jurors as well. I think they listened to the judge’s instructions. He told them to use their common sense.

Wow the maturity and wisdom of that juror is great to see! He really should be a lawyer!

This young man, should be so proud of himself. He took this Case very seriously, and listened, and observed the evidence presented during the Trial. All the Jury members that were interviewed seem like intelligent people, who used their common sense and the Circumstantial evidence presented to them. They got the verdict correct, thankfully. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪

That’s what really bothers me about this dam case; poor Maggie! She must’ve been absolutely terrified. Her husband was shooting at their son, then her. Scared, terrified, confused. She was an innocent victim and needlessly suffered. 🙏 Shame on Alex.

You can tell Alex’s lawyer doesn’t even believe a word about Alex being not guilty.

Why didn’t he take the suburban with AC if he was afraid of getting hot and sweaty? Great question from juror!

I never hear him say he didn't murder them, I always heard him say I would never hurt them. Well he didn't hurt them he KILLED them... So in his eyes he didn't lie.....

How could he stand next to his poor family while talking with police? So disturbing

This juror is so well spoken and mature for his age. I think they did a good job selecting jurors. They came to the right conclusion in my mind

To be a part of a jury who weren’t allowed to take notes, his memory seems to be fantastic and surprisingly accurate with some details. Awesome job, James!

This juror's conclusion rings correct. Juror saw a "1 inch threshold at the base of the door" of the feed room and said juror knows from his own experience that the kickback from the shotgun can unbalance the shooter. Hence,Alec's first shot at Paul caused him to step backwards and trip on the raised threshold and fall backwards out of that feed room. Alec was not on his feet as he fired the 2nd shot which removed Paul's intact brain ("I did him so bad"). Alex shot Paul because Paul had confiscated Alex' pills. Alex needed those pills. This jurors prior experience with fire arms and dogs helped him make an informed decision. Also, viewing the actual room in which the shooting took place provided details which had not been provided by the prosecution. Also, I agree that the missing clothes and missing family guns were evidence of guilt.

What a well-spoken young man! Answered the questions much better than i would have been able to. Serious, mature, thoughtful, and intelligent! Thank goodness he answered the call to jury duty!

So happy you had James on your show! I saw you on Dr. Phil and Id be lying if I didn’t think they totally dropped the ball and picked the wrong juror to be on their show. This guy is awesome! I’m convinced James went to school for broadcast journalism or something! He’s so natural in front of the camera and comes across in such a thoughtful and authentic manner. Kids gonna go far…this is just the beginning for him.

Others have reported his brother John Marvin took a trip to the Bahamas on his boat the following weekend. Probably at the bottom of the ocean somewhere between South Carolina and the Bahamas.

Good point about him not using the suburban down to the kennels when it had the ac, and he was so concerned with staying fresh.

Love this James guy!! We are lucky there were such good jurors!!

That young man is the kind of man I would want my daughter to marry. What a wonderfully patriotic and charactered juror he is. Gos bless you, James! ❤🇺🇸

Very impressive young person.

Someone needs to get that kid a scholarship or a job in law enforcement

Nice well spoken juror

His older brother said today that he believes his brother knows more about the murders than has been revealed

Great interview. James is such a smart young man. You can certainly see that Vinnie thinks so too. Wish we had more young Americans like him. Vinnies questions perfect. Thank you for this informative interview.

This was the BEST interview I've seen of him yet, thank you for asking the good questions and bringing out the human in him at the end. I think he'd make a great addition to your team, btw!

THIS YOUNG MAN , took it in .. looked at every angle and couldn't find reasonable doubt ! He clearly took his job as a juror very seriously - Surely he will be able to live to tell the year he served as a juror of a very powerful family that Lead a nation to get that verdict right ! Not many young men today get such an opportunity -- He's comming forward to make up the money he lost 6 weeks ! Rightfully so ! The jurors are paid 12$ a day !!! UNBELIEVABLE !!! This part of our system needs to change .. So jurors Don't have to go on TV to make up the pay they lost during jury duty ! Surely we can do this one day !

I had the same thought about whether he might end up going to law school and that he'd make a great attorney.

James is so mature, intelligent and thoughtful, well spoken ,especially for a 22 year old 👏 👍

Imagine being in jail the rest of your life because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut!!!!!!

I've noticed he's doing the media round's & everytime he's interviewed he's poised, knows his facts and is very mature for his age. He's a great citizen of America.

The jury did an amazing job. They keep asking why the verdict was so quick. I think six weeks of testimony is plenty of time to form an opinion my goodness.

What a thoughtful, measured juror.

Saying that this young man is incredible would be an understatement. His parents must be so proud

If I saw my son murdered by his dad I'd want to go too 😔

I could have done without the snot photos, but this 22 year old juror did an EXCELLENT job explaining their decision on their verdict. He was very articulate in his speaking. I have a great deal of respect for these jurors.

Such a smart articulate young man. God bless him and the other jurors for their work. Special prayers to the Murdaugh Family and all the first responders.

2:33 NO EFFING WAY that was "part of SLED's plan". No way. They were sloppy, sloppy and incompetent. The house and all the nearby grounds should have been sealed off immediately. It is ridiculous the way they handled it. In fact, it tells me that they did not want to treat a power figure and potentially their associate w anything other than kid gloves. Had that been a poor white or black local family living there, or just an 'unknown', the cops would have swarmed that house~!! That night~!! It completely boggles the mind. The 1st cop that interviewed Alex that night told another cop to go tell them NOT to cover the bodies. But that too was not followed up correctly. They said Alex was "clean". Surely, they should have been looking everywhere for a change of clothes and weapons. By many accounts, law enforcement was in bed with this family and that is probably what caused them to 2nd guess their steps and make so very many errors. Even AFTER John Marvin got Maggie's phone password via Alex, they were gonna wait until the afternoon to search for it, had not John Marvin pressed another officer to do so. Had they waited the battery might have gone out and it never found~!! No excuses for this response.

I’ve thought so many times about that poor mama having to see Paul like that then seeing her husband is the one who did it and he’s standing in front of her and she knows she’s next 😢 how terribly sad and horrible

WOW!! As this trial began, Who can imagine this calibre of juror could be, would be present. If their ever was a case that required precisely the characteristics & personality of this young man, well imo this is it. For me my concerns were not of a tainted jury per say, but more so of further connections and corruption. I am so impressed by the integrity for thought diligence understanding unpredjudiced well rounded individual. His maturity is beyond his years. This fine young gentleman with such grounding attributes was chosen from above. As the night sky is to day, Alex is to Judge Newman & this juror imo.

Perhaps the guns were hidden in his father's coffin? Looking back at evidence from his mother's caregiver after the gathering

I have never heard of someone seeing their family laying, lifeless and they touch them below the waist and not hold them, pull them close or anything. No blood on him at all? 🧐

What a fantastic interview, great insight ..James was a perfect juror...

I don't recall the prosecutor pointing out that the dog "Bubba" was having to be called with the chicken in his mouth, he was not comming up all proud like Alex testified and also why Alex didn't take his SUV with air conditioning instead of a golf cart if he so worried about getting sweaty... If these things were not pointed out to the jury by Water's then the jury was actually doing a little better than Water's at seeing through Alex's bs story.

Excellent questions asked, a truly good interview and thoughtful, humble reporter. Thanks 😊

Excellent point actually. His behavior in the interviews that occurred in the car was soooooo telling. After initially showing dramatic fake emotions he was calm cool and collected. Didn't show anger, despair, didn't beg them to go look for any 'killers...' it really put him in a deep hole.

I would vote for this kid to run our country. So smart and really knows how to think critically about everything.

During Alex's cross by the prosecutor (Waters, I think his name is), did anyone catch when Alex said MAGGIE TOLD ME TO LEAVE???? Why would Maggie go from being happy (assuming from the snapchat video) to telling Alex to leave? This was plannned

Good job ty 4 your public service to your community.

James is a young law abiding man who took pride in his role as a juror, he GOT IT RIGHT !!!!!! Justice was SERVED IMO

Tbh the evidence points to him, He lied straight away even the night of the murders ,what I think is he did not think his father would die and he would not be held accountable and his got away with alot over the years. And taken the stand was a disaster

Dumbest murder plan ever. You would expect Alec would have been more clever with all of his experience.

I really like this juror. He seems so fair and intelligent.

James may God continue to Bless your life with Peace, Love, Joy & Wisdom ❤️👏🙏

Wow! Vinnie you asked juror James McDowell the right questions, love you and your show keep up the good work.

I wasn't sure which way I was going to go until I watched the video where the police arrived on the scene. It bothered me how many times he had to ask if they were dead and phrased it different ways. Like he was wanting confirmation that they were dead and couldn't point a finger at him. I would have to watch it again but believe it was, they're dead? You did say they were dead? And I believe there was a third time. It just hit me really odd

I think he killed them to protect them from the knowledge that he is a monster and did not want to see Paul go to jail or Maggie suffer social humiliation. They were already calling her "Maggie Murder" when she walked down the street 🤯

God shines through him. Great juror!

Too bad jurors can't ask questions during the trial.

Awesome young man. We need to hear from him again and again!

Now that we heard that Maggie was really planning the divorce, we can see even bigger motive.

This kid would have been a better lawyer than Alex's entire defense team (with no legal training). Excellent job analyzing this matter!

He absolutely turned his sons body to check his pocket for His Oxy pills! That’s how Paul’s phone ended up on his body! According to Alex the ohone fell out of his pocket 🙄No he checked pockets for his pills & he obviously found them! So tragic!!! So Evil!!! I’m so glad he will never get out!

People keep echoing that AM "loved" his family and it makes me wonder what they think love is. They were props in his fake narrative that made his crimes possible. They were status symbols that he was maybe fond of, like a hunting dog or a pickup truck. I thought when he leaned into the jury and admitted he he stole money from people he "loved" and "still love dearly" it told us all we need to know about what Alex means by that term. Really all it means is he's going to need people to keep his commissary topped off for the next 40 years.

Just so, so impressed with this wonderful young man. It is hard to believe his age. I can also see him as a television journalist. Move over Vinnie!

23! This juror is 23! He is remarkable they way he thinks and the way he speaks. Well done explaining Sir.

His heightened reaction to where the golf was parked at the house was strange. I wondered if that is where his suburban was parked and where he transferred the guns to it.

For some reason John Marvin felt the need to be there early the next morning as well why would someone a loved one want to see that in daylight

I think people are missing the point on why? It was because of his son Paul that unraveled all of his crimes and as he said the person who did this had deep-seated anger inside their heart and that's why I think he did it and he had no choice but to take out the witness who would never allow him to go free

Absolutely amazing jury

I really can’t imagine. It’s so haunting.

I love James !! Wise beyond his years. God bless you darling!! 💙⭐️👑 adore you as well Vinne, you ask some great questions sir

👏 well said. True American 🇺🇸

I think he was wearing the clothes that he had on in the video but put the rain jacket on and after the murders he rinsed off the jacket with the hose to get everything off and went home showed changed and wrapped it all up in the jacket and brought it to his moms

Every time Alex cried with snot dripping down his face into his mouth, he made sure to look over to the jurors so they could see that. And it happened every day for six weeks as I watched the entire trial. He tried waaay too hard and it was obvious.

This juror, James, is a brother to one of the police officers that was on the scene that night. In another interview he stated his brother was 2nd to take the stand I believe. Anyways, my point, I can not fathom why the defense allowed this juror to be on case. I’m not sure what they were thinking with that decision.

Alex Did Not Love his family. One who loves doesn't kill the ones you love. I'm tired of hearing that he loves. He only cares for himself.

James gives me hope that there are good young people coming up for the next adult generation‼️Hooray for you, James‼️I’m 74 years old and my children are all over 40. They are wonderful citizens‼️Before having many health issues, I taught students and enjoyed it immensely‼️We need more people like James in every walk of life‼️

John Marvin was definitely involved in the cleanup after the event

What ridiculous questions!! How in the hell would this juror know most of these questions?? 🙄 Good god, how long did he plan it, where’s the gun and clothes, etc. SMH

When looking at photos and video of Mossell, as much coverage as there has been of this trial, I'm always puzzled that no one explains the lay of the land much. It was well into the trial before some RU-vidrs started laying out the murder scene to scale and I don't know of anyone who explained what all the outbuildings were and their proximity to each other. I don't think any of the big news outlets delved into this. For a long time I tried to figure out exactly where Maggie's phone was found, at first there was reporting that it was actually found on the Alameda property, for example. Also, there wasn't much information about what was going on in the courtroom among the family members, and why the witnesses were allowed to sit in on the trial before giving testimony. I just mention this because so much of the reporting has been one outlet echoing another and seemingly trying to mark time with repetitions. The RU-vidrs overall did a better job imo.

This young man is wise beyond his years, very well composed, intelligent, and insightful. I feel like we needed jurors like him who weren't swayed by the Murdaugh family influence. Most importantly we needed clear-minded jurors who provided the justice Maggie and Paul deserved. Thank you Mr. McDowell and all the jurors.

Such a nice & well spoken young man. Loved his thoughts😊

They missed the forensic evidence but all good guys they got his body language 😂 awesome

I love this juror!

James McDowell is really pushing himself into the spotlight,and making the most of his opportunities here. I don’t like to see this type of a publicity grab.

He’s the kind of juror the case needed.. Jury’s have a lot of pressure put on them, they did a great job! What a tough case ..
