Murdaugh Prosecutors on What REALLY Happened June 7, 2021 

MORE HERE: www.courttv.com/trending/alex-murdaugh-family-murders/?

Alex said “whoever killed Paul had been thinking about it for a long time and hated him” I believe Alex was so angry with Paul because of him all his theft was coming out

Do you think both Paul and Maggie saw that it was Alex who killed them? I think that was the case and it’s so horrifically sad.

I cannot imagine the number of people who have been hurt by this family over the last 100 years.

So happy that the jurors got it right.

Its very obvious from the court case that Murdaugh was a very powerful and influential person. This is why SLED tiptoed around him instead of treating him like they would have treated anyone else...

The prosecution team was the best I've ever seen. Kept me on the edge of my seat..superb work..

THE MORE I HEAR ABOUT THIS CASE, I AM SO THANKFUL TO THE PROSECUTION GOT THIS GUY OFF THE STREETS. I FOR ONE SLEEP BETTER AT NIGHT KNOWING HE IS LOCKED FOR TWO LIFETIMES.

Alex didn't know cell phone Data could be extracted at such a forensic level, and that is almost too ironic with him being an attorney.

You don't have to be a scientist to understand that Alex took phone after shots, then while driving (45 mph) drove over into the left lane and pitched out the phone. The guy is guilty!

Thank you to the pet dogs, bubba & cash. Had it not been for both of them there would be a) no video and b) no voice of Alex heard on video, which would both ultimately bring Alex murdaugh down. Imagine ultimately being busted for murdering 2 people because of 2 pet dogs. Lol. That is epic. Thank you puppy dogs 🙏 Great job 👏

The evidence with Maggie’s phone changed near the end of the trial when all the data from the phone companies and the OnStar from Alex’s vehicle became available. When they pulled all the data together and tracked them concurrently, the timing became more apparent.

Kudos to the entire Prosecution Team and Judge Newman deserved a standing ovation for his input on Alex’s behavior and his supposed drug addiction! He was professional, nonbiased, and appropriate, as well as sympathetic for the victims was overall the satisfactory explanation of the entire trial! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Impressed with the information that one of the jurors came up to explain the odd upward angle of gun shot to Paul head. The raised sil plate in the storage room doorway may have caused Alex to trip over as he was backing up after the first shot was fired. This would have him firing from the ground. Brilliant observation from this juror as they went to the crime scene on request by the Defence Attorneys. It’s a good thing that Alex didn’t reach Rogan as he could of been the third victim.

I can't imagine as a mother seeing my husband and father to my kids murder our son. I'd be in shock. I believe Alex took the phone and threw it as well. Paul convicted his murdering father from the grave. So sad. Fly high Paul and Maggie. Prayers for Buster to heal in a positive way. 💔🙏

This case made me hug my wife and son a little tighter. As a father/protector I can’t imagine the fear they must have felt. I hope he has fun in the DOC, South Carolina prison is nowhere you want to be

Little detective solved his and his mother's murder with that Snapchat video. Alex wasn't expecting that video, and if it hadn't of existed he may not have been found guilty. Why Alex would murder his wife and son so viciously , pretty hideously is beyond me. Now all these events involving AM are starting to unravel. It has opened up new possibilities in the cases of Stephen & Gloria due to Maggie and Pauls death. Rip to all the victims 🙏🏽 ♥ 🕊 May they get the justice they deserve. This man took EVERYTHING away from the people who loved & trusted him. Smh

Bubba and Paul solved his own murder 🐕 and his mothers. I was disgusted how Maggie was not characterized as a victim like Pa Pa was. Alec is also a misogynist…

Chicken be like: “Damn…I gave my life to catch that SOB. Give the chicken some love” 😅

People are forgetting he planned this entire thing. I think he had a hole dug or something already at alameda. And definitely took the guns apart the next morning @ 6 am. I think he had so much planned. And would have worked if he could have gotten rid of Paul’s phone. That darn video 🎉

makes you wonder what he thought when he saw the type of damage he did to his sons body when he fired that second shot. To see your sons brain leap out of his body and land on the floor next to him? How he was able to function after that to kill Maggie is something that just bewilders me.

I think Alex planned on killing them earlier but Maggie stopped to get a pedicure, which he later learned from Paul. Then he rushed through it once they were together after eating dinner. They perhaps thought they were on their way to see Paul’s grandpa and grandma but Alex thought up an excuse to stop by the kennels first. He had no idea about Paul, Chase, and the video.

"Two dogs and a chicken" - this has got to be the title of the next documentary. Also, please remember THREE were killed that night. The chicken did not survive Bubba Murdaugh.

When Law Enforcement arrived at the scene, Bubba was desperately trying to tell authorities to let him out so he could get the person responsible. The dogs knew and were trying to tell everyone. Watch the arriving LE bodycams... the dog is FRANTIC.

Yes, God bless Bubba! He really was the MVP of this investigation! Paul also did his best detective work right up to his tragic death. We also have to remember that Cash was also a very valuable witness and big help in this case. Had it not been for his tail having a small injury, Paul wouldn't have been taking a video. Animals are so special and so devoted to us humans and they need to be treated with the same love and regard as they show us. Alex must be cursing Bubba in his cell. I'm glad he can't get to Bubba. I'm glad that this part of the Murdaugh saga is over and that that little town and it's people can (finally after 100 year's) be a better place.

There was no ‘huge risk’ in taking the guns with him to Alameda since at that time the only one who knew about the murders was him. Odds he’d randomly run into a traffic stop on a lonely country road at night were extremely low, and even if he did, there wouldn’t be a reason to search his vehicle at that point in time. Besides, he always had one of his official solicitor’s badges close at hand.

Buster knows , as soon as Alex M said to Buster on the phone "you know the phone calls ate recorded right " he's not as innocent and not at his fault

What will stay with me is hearing Alex in the Cash video asking, "What's the matter Paul?" & then hearing Paul say under his voice, "Shut up Dad". That speaks volumes to me - Alex trying to sound like he cares - and Paul seeing through it & showing how much respect he's lost for his father (by saying 'shut up Dad' to himself). Even though AM is in prison for the murders, I still would like to see a family member or friend go find the guns & his clothes. It would still be pretty darn satisfying for that to happen.

At that point there was no justification to search his moms place, not until the first lie was proven

When Alex asked Buster to go hunt at Moselle during a jail phone call, I think he meant him to get the hidden weapons or clothes or something to get rid of them..

He's invincible- remember? Yes, he would carry the guns around. However, I don't think he would carry them around for several days. He went back to Almeda the next morning at 6:30, didn't he? Could be wrong, IDK. The defense worked for the prosecution. They made major mistakes. Harpootlian was ignorant, disorganized, stupid(to point a gun then make a joke), he came across as a doddering old fool. Plus their witnesses were impotent or bizarre.

Has there been any follow-up on Shelley? Was she able to keep her job? I worry and think about her often, I’m sure many others do, too. Just want to make sure she’s doing ok. She was so brave, she’s a hero for Truth and Justice, even though Alex was threatening her employment at the school (his best friend is the principal there) as well as her employment with the family. God bless her.

Great show. It’s one thing to present a case and a lot of evidence is not seen by the jury, and DA has much more information than anyone else has ever seen.

Do you guys not think, when Paul was shot, he screamed in agony for his mother? He knew who shot him.

When AM was asking Buster if he wanted to go hunting on the property he was telling him on the sly to get the weapons and clothes he hid from the murder. He said the traps are full. Nobody in jail thinks about that.🤔

I think Alex shot him in the chest. The force of the gun knocked him back a little bit, and he ( Alex)tripped over that little threshold, and landed on his rear end, and then shot up.

Utmost heartfelt respect for Judge Newman.

I understood the testimony to be that when Alex picked up Maggie's phone, it looked for facial recognition because that's how she would sign in. He would only be able to get in using a code. It seems the two events could have happened.

This case is fascinating. Thank you for keeping us updated! We are watching!

He intended to kill Maggie. That is why he told her to come to Moselle. She owned or was co-owner of properties that Alex needed to sell

What about the live drone footage of John Marvin and Buster removing them from the house.

They did a great job! So much work and dedication! Incredible

omg Meadows was just phenomenal !! tag teaming w Creighton ... they worked in tandem and his gospel like closing sealed Alex's fate. he laid it all out in summary to the jurors and spoke to their common senses . Amen and Bravo to this entire team of extraordinarily talented prosecutors !! I'd like to go back to school and change my career and become one of the good guys !

From the beginning, I thought that if anyone would have been shot, it might have been Alex and Paul because of their involvement with other murders and shenanigans. Why would anyone, other than Alex, have a motive to kill Maggie, as she had nothing to do with any of that. Then when Alex said on the witness stand, "I had to get out of there." I mean, what was the rush for him to feel that he had to get out of there? Then, all of his strange behaviors, immediately after the murders, running around setting up alibis. Perhaps they should have called in Scotland Yard and let Sherlock solve the mystery.

Those guns are in the old man's casket.

As soon as they had Paul's phone it was the end in my opinion so NOT much work to prove he was guilty

Even more sad 😔 than the murders is how no one has acknowledged Paul & Maggie since their deaths, no headstones, no flowers 💐 , memorials, 😔

All the homes in this family have names. A level of affluence I can’t even imagine. And they want us to believe they were normal people who weren’t holding all the power because of their wealth?

The Guy is as guilty as sin!

Regarding the phone trying to do face recognition not adding up since Alex had the code... My fiance has face recognition as the primary way to unlock his phone. So if I go to use his phone when it's locked, it automatically tries to do the facial recognition first, and then it allows me to put in the code. Just a small flaw I heard during the rebuttal of the prosecutor's theory...

Alameda wasn't searched right away, he quickly hid them there, went back later and moved them IMO

The prosecutors did a fantastic job 👍👍👍👍

too much from the podcaster and not enough from the prosecution team.

I still don’t trust that Buster isn’t involved in some way. His demeanor is cold as ice. How could you sit through court like a statue without emotion when they are talking about your mother and brother.

It's not odd when you control that whole community and they wouldn't treat him like a suspect from the moment they encountered him. Even law enforcement was intimidated by who he was. This is what happens in a good Ole boy system. Now the law enforcement integrity in that community is questionable.

I do agree that whomever did the investigation really botched it. They didn’t search the mom’s house, they didn’t close off the crime scene properly, allowed a bunch of lawyers into the crime scene and the house. They didn’t search the house properly or right away, they left evidence at the crime scene. They left huge gaps in the theory of the crime, that they didn’t bother to investigate or explain. They should’ve worked harder to obtain physical evidence, murder weapons etc. They relied too heavily on circumstantial evidence, and luckily they had a jury with common sense.

11:10 If Maggie had an iPhone, it would typically look for facial recognition immediately when the phone is picked up and in someone’s face. So, it would activate facial recognition automatically regardless if someone wants to put in the passcode. So I don’t find it odd that that would happen if Alex picked up her phone.

Thank you for interviewing the rest of the team 👌

I am so glad others are still stuck on understanding this case, like me!! I don't want to let it go yet. I want all the evidence of phones and GPS to be explained to know step by step what he did and how it was done. I am finding I was too absorbed in this case to quickly switch over to the Ice Cream Truck murderer...I haven't finished gnawing on the Murdaugh case yet!! Thank you!

I think that AM and Maggie went down to the kennel together on the golf cart, and I think that AM had the weapons hid somewhere close to the kennel. Maggie I think was getting ready to divorce AM and he knew he would be found out financially. I think Paul had become a financial nightmare for AM and he thought with that last name he would get by with it

That video was his undoing and he had no idea it existed, so he lies thinking he's all set. It's obvious it couldn't have been anyone but him. His story had no credibility, he can't remember the last conversation. Can't remember what he was doing when his phone logged all those steps. So he just managed to leave directly before his family were killed? He then lies to police about it. It's crystal clear there is no secret killer out these.

I agree that Alex took the weapons to Almeda the night of the murders, and then when he returned the following day or two, he had more of a chance to really dump the weapons. I think he also took his clothing he was wearing when he committed the murders. I think he took the clothing over that night after the murders and put them directly into the trash barrels at Almeda.

A lot of us down here in the LowCountry think he put them in his daddy’s casket before he was lowered in the ground!

In one of the phone calls to Buster from Alex, while he's in jail, he seemed to really want Buster to check some deer feeders. He was really pressing him to do so. He could have hid the guns there.

Alex, planned this for sometime. He basically told his sister-in-law that. He planned to kill both his son and his wife. He made sure they were there at the same time. He called Paul to come prepare for a hunting gathering that weekend and Maggie to go with him to see his dad who was dying. The perfect set-up. He spent time with Paul during the afternoon. Kinda a last good-bye. They must have had the guns with them at that time because he said they never went out without them because of the hogs. I think Alex was shaking from his withdrawals. (Alex himself said a person will do anything to get the pills to prevent the withdrawal symptoms) Those he had planned this overtime. It didn't go quite as he expected because he was having withdrawal. I think the guns were already out there in the side-side. Alex waited for Maggie to go around the building. He retrieved the guns. He was unsteady. Paul phone rang. He turns to the side to pull out his phone . Before he pulls the phone all the way out. Alex shoots him hitting him in the chest. Alex sees he is still alive he shoots again. Still shaking thinking if he hits his should it will go through and hit his heart and he will die instantly. When went through to the brain I think Alex was surprised. I think that is why he said " They did it bad I should have know." I think he was actually saying " I should have know the force and the damage it could cause. When Maggie turned the corner. Alex was shaking even more. Maggie was moving. He shot her where he could stop her then moved around still shaking. He hits her in the upper abdomen causing her to fall to her knees. Still shaking he aims at her hand and misses shooting her through the breast. He wanted to make sure she was dead so he got close-up and shot again. He could not let Maggie live. She knew to much about his activities of which I feel is much deeper than is know. If she left him. All that would come out. Alex said Paul's phone had come out of his pocket. He picked it up and tried to do something and he put it down. I think Paul was reaching for his phone and kinda turn to the side when Alex first shot him that is why when Paul fell the phone came out of his pocket. More than likely Alex hid the guns and clothing in the shrubs until he was able to get back the early the next morning to dispose of them. As a nurse I know families seldom visit dementia patient late evening or early mornings. If they are sleeping. You do not was to awaken them and if they are not sleeping they are usually very agitated at those hours. Just my opinion.

21:35 You had me at “Kibler Elf” 🤣🤣🤣

He picked a place to put those guns B4 murders because he planned this prior.

I hope I live to see the day that weapons are uncovered or accidentally discovered as well as anything else over at Almeda. I have no idea why they just left everything off the table over there but I hope one day before I die that the gun mystery is solved.

I find it amusing how they have to jump through hoops trying to make it make sense yet it doesn't. They don't know anymore than the rest of us. They also never talk about the stuff that doesn't make sense that nobody's talking about.

I was listening to the Murdaugh Murders podcast and something Alex said while testifying is very interesting. It sounds like he’s apologizing for something bigger to me. Alex actual words: “On June the 7th (long pause)… I wasn’t thinking clearly. I don’t think I was capable of reason. And I lied about being down there (the kennels) And I’m so sorry that I did. I’m so sorry to my son Buster. I’m sorry to Granmar and Papa T (Maggie’s parents). I’m sorry to both of our families. And most of all, I’m sorry to Maggs and Pau Pau. I would never intentionally do anything to hurt either one of them. Ever. Ever.” To me it sounds like he’s saying, On June 7th I was very high, incapable of reason, i.e. my actions weren’t rational. I’m so sorry to our family and MOST OF ALL Maggie and Paul. I would never have killed them if I had been in my right mind. i.e would never intentionally hurt them.

how could he know that the killer had been planning it for a long time if all 3 of them being there that weekend was a last minute thing?

I wonder if Alex wanted to make the death of Paul look like an accident, but missed making him shoot again. Then had to kill Maggie in a way to cover it up

Vinnie: It has been so great to have you back on Court TV. Love your coverage always!

In my mind maybe Paul screamed and Maggie came running.

I don’t know about that Attorney General stepping into the spotlight, center stage, after the prosecution team worked so hard and won this case. He was a visitor, a guest! But now he wants to take the accolades, the acclaim! Whaaaa?

Someone definitely had a part in helping get rid of evidence! The question is who?

Yes he would have rode around with the guns because he was over confident with himself as well as his entitlement and being an untouched all of his life

By far, this was the best video following this case.

Can you imagine Paul's emotion as his dad was killing him!! Can you imagine Maggie seeing her son dead by his fathers hand and then him firing shots at her to kill her!! So so tragic!!

How monstrous! To think that this man could point a gun at his own child and practically blow his head off - why? Because he thought if the boy was dead, he would save money on the lawsuit over that poor girl's death in the boat accident? WHat a miserable excuse for a human being. I still want to know how much his other son knew/knows......I don't trust any of them.

You all fail to give Cash his credits. It was because of Cash's tail issue that a video was being recorded. All three animals, Cash, Bubba, and the chicken, conspired to break this case. The chicken sacrificed her own life to the cause. Animals are amazing.

Maggie's phone could have been on the golf cart - not with her. He didn't know until he was leaving, the phone was on the cart and at that point couldn't take it back. I feel the murders were at 8:50 and Alex was back at the house by 8:53 and the rotation was removing it from the cart, not Maggie.

They know when you look at your phone when you pick up the phone but they don't want us to know how deep that our mobiles follow us

Paul screamed I bet…maybe Alec told Maggie he had to kill the chicken and she expected one shot..she didn’t want to see it…

the scariest part is that if the boat accident didnt happen, alex may never have been pushed to this point, and would live and die getting away with the other murders. so rich people can just push their employees down the stairs collect money and take it to the grave? how many like him are walking around uncaught ?

Privilege, intentional ignorance, no accountability, poor parenting, and dubious L. E. - too much for too long 😐

They didn't convince a jury, they proved to the jury. Saying "convinced" like that sounds as though you think good ol' Alex isn't guilty.

I absolutely think Alex disposed of the guns and clothing in some body of water probably the ocean where the likelihood they would never be found. Sled did not have him under survelliance at that time.

Alex Murdaugh thought he was untouchable. He did it

I was super surprised when Robert Downey Jr. showed up with all this knowledge about the trial. What an eclectic dude

Yes, Bubba was the hero, but why isn’t the chicken getting any credit 🤔

I didn’t believe Alex had done it till the very end with the time line. I was believing the tears and performance by Alex. I thought Alex was mentally unstable due to the deaths. The time line was the clincher for me.

First time watching Vinnie Politan. 1st impression: he loves the sound of his voice! The title of this video is "Prosecutors on What REALLY Happened." The prosecutors have only 25% of the 22 minutes sequence and the big star (VP) fills the rest with comments from a guest blogger!

After everything I've seen, Buster is the favorite, Paul brought too much attention and wasn't the favorite, and his wife wanted a divorce and she would have really taken him to the bank.

We all saw his digital footprints and I agree with David, the bloodied clothes, shoes and weapons were left in the woodland at Almeda. They were disposed of by Alex or a relative in the following days.

Too bad they all wasn’t wearing Apple Watches.

i think the motive was him not having the balls to tell his family the truth.. he knew once maggie found out he’s losing his job & all his financial crimes would come to light, she’d leave him. instead of splitting the property, if he got away w/ murder, he’d keep it all. & he assumed getting rid of paul would get rid of the boat case💔💔

Awesome show

JUSTICE WAS SERVED THANK GOD

AM dumped guns at Alemeda. SLED should've shut the Moessle house down (even though ALex had called all of his friends over)
