The Case Against Disgraced Attorney Alex Murdaugh 

Drugs did not make him do this, but Drugs made him think he could get away with it.

Who thinks Alex’s “drug addiction” is a load of lies? 👇🏻

If he was so rich, what was he doing with all the money. I thank God I am contented with the little I have and the fact that I don't envy anyone for their wealth.

I'm certain if they dig deeper, they will find corruption within the entire family

Power Corrupts... Absolute Power, corrupts ABSOLUTELY. Nuff said!

There are monsters amongst us. What an evil, sick and manipulative con man.

Greed, privilege, connections, and no accountability. None of this is complicated, it is corrupt and selfish and no one, not even his family, mattered more than his agenda.

What about the boy who killed on the road. Did he have a thing going with the older boy? The housekeeper what really happed to her to cause her death. The wife leaving him the boy with the boat crash an embarrassing boat accident that killed that poor girl. Too many questions.

Vinnie, not a complicated guy at all, self centered , selfish & evil. A great legacy of his family down the toilet such a shame all these ppl lost their lives for his greed.

Legislators should not be able to defend clients that helps appoint judges to the bench

Lawyers from birth. Buster doesn't want to be a lawyer. And people on opioids are usually underweight...I don't buy addiction either. He goes cold turkey and drops all that weight?! Hmmmm.

What about the young man, Stephen, who died during all this mess? He was connected to Murd(er)augh.

This case reminds me of the title that Mary Trump used when writing a book about her uncle..."Too Much and Never Enough" , a story of a dysfunctional personality.

as soon as that accident in the boat took place he knew things were going to get bad in my opinion. and with his and Maggie's marriage crumbling her asking for a audit it was all going to be crashing down. he would rather do that then to face the truth so sad

I’m shocked he would go to such lengths as to kill his wife and son. The only motive I can conceive is that they were both a liability to him.

How could you murder your wife&son OMG death penalty

Just sad. All the way around.

Vinnie you are a great host !! Top notch coverage you really break it down ..

Took y'all long enough to cover this. Stephen Smith deserves justice. His mother deserves justice. Any research on this? Geofencing pinpoints not even near the bodies when he called 911.

Seems strange that his deceased wife didn't have life insurance of her own. I don't think she came from some poor family herself.

The daughter screaming about what her dad did to take her life is one thing you can’t get out of your head while he tries to give his story about leaving them alone in the car.

I have to say I’ve known plenty of people with an opiate addiction that have maintained a very normal very professional life & appearance. It is very possible especially with someone that had so much to lose like Alex Murdaugh!

I thought he was already tried, Been watching too much true crime.

we guessed right away that he had murdered his wife and son. His wife was scared of him. They were not living together and she was seeking a divorce. He decided to save himself some money by murdering her instead. I suspect that Paul had caused the boat crash, that may also have caused a major drain on the finances of his father..... I don't know if this now goes away with Paul's death??? There will be a financial reason why Paul was murdered. When you have it all - you always want more!!

There are high functioning ppl addicted to drugs and opiates. I've heard from police officers personally addicted and they would still arrest kids for drugs and tell them drugs are bad while high as a kite

I don't think he was addicted to drugs he is however addicted to power and money.

The guy saying you can't function on massive amounts of opiates doesn't know what hes talking about.

I think Paul pushed Gloria down the stairs

Yeah if those kids had been a different color or from a different family they would not have been kindly sent home.

And yes...you can be very productive and seem like you are living a very normal life to other people. It happens all the time!

Wow I suspect his grandfather is rolling over in his grave, he built this only to have Alex dishonor his family. Unbelievable!

You can be a functioning opioid addict. I did it for years in NYC and Boston but eventually it always catches up with you. I met lawyers and doctors who were addicts in NA..

Hes awful chubby for someone who had an opiod addiction. Not buying the addiction spin.

Perhaps he was a cocaine user and seller and I suspect a lot of law enforcement was colluding with him as well as businesses.

This is such a twisted huge mess of a case? Many doing cover cover cover! It'll be interesting to follow & see if many will just sit back & let him take the fall! And if he'll even suffer the full consequences of what he & many other's have done!

I had an opioid addiction following an ectopic pregnancy….I couldn’t get help as no one believed me…..I worked for addiction services as a psychologist, i asked for a leave…..even the tests show that i have it in the system i was let to continue working….so that bit i can beleive. Not everyone look like a hobo

In case that sheriff needs a reminder: you can be gregarious, successful and good looking and STILL have a raging drug addiction! Addiction is a chameleon !

How shameful..

How hard they fall.

Jarrod Newman: some opiate addicts act that way, but many don't. It's possible to take large doses & be fully functional where friends/fam cant notice a difference. Especially if you use everyday or 24/7. Then noone has a baseline for your personally. It depends on the person & the pill but some people don't get all dopey like heroin makes you. Some people get large bursts of energy, talk a lot, seem to suddenly be able to get lots done. While some like this can take larger doses and get slow & sleepy. So while you may have had experiences with addicts you need to expand your knowledge on opiate usage if you're going to go on shows & speak like you have all the facts. Addicts can be in horrible shape but as long as they have all the pills they could want & more importantly all the pills their body needs to stay "normal" they can hide it like you wouldn't belive.

Bring it on

Sounds like a politician and a lawyer. What part of the government did Alex belong too? This just sounds too much like a politician to me. But then again lawyers are pretty slimy too. At least the ones I've talked too. They always say what you need to hear at the time and if it doesn't work out they have the same answer used on every single client that paid thousands only to find that the lawyer really didn't do anything for you. They will always tell you that they can not promise an outcome and that sometimes it just doesn't work out. But all along they have been billing you and telling you it's a slam dunk. That the law is clear and they can't see the result being anything but a win.

It’s never enough Money that is

Seems to me that it would just be good business for insurance companies to notify all recipients of settlements of the amount directly. One would think that if even one lawsuit would be prevented it would pay for a lot of notices. I realize that the suit was personal liability and lawyer would be sued for malpractice but I would think that there’s enough companies that do both or have a common parent company that the insurance would figure this out on their own

A classic case of Affluenza - crimes that the affluent commit and think they can get away with

Murdaugh Murder Mystery ... you can't even make up the title, let alone the story

No word's could ever describe this Monster 👹😡😡😡

His own son. That’s weird and sad

He sounded like he was about to throw up, signaling remorse. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Will you be covering the R Kelly Chicago trial

Great segment. Bring back the full 2 hr closing arguments!!

Love your episodes Thankyou From Australia

911 dispatcher: oohhhh ok-- Were you shot? (Sounds like a sweet lady)🤗

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive..

Alex had so much that it was never enough. So one thing after another. Now who do this remind me of?????? Donald Trump!

Did the guy have a gambling problem???

You can function on perks once your body gets use to it you need them to function.. that dude on the left has no clue because he probably has never taken them I hate when people act like they know what stuff does when they have never tried it!

Well said, and explained by these Gentlemen...."A Home Game" Rigged for the Prosecution

Murdaugh Murder Mystery podcast REALLY dives deep into this fiasco!

I commented this on TCD .. so i must say it over n over . . Im certain there is a cable series in the works for this story... Succession meets Ozarks

I'm sorry, but the guy who knows him personally is in denial. I'm an addict and I know MANY amazingly functioning addicts. I hate my own position in life but I'd still trade my life for theirs, despite the addiction. Many addicts have a will to survive and presevere an ongoing life BURIED with the 24/7 multifaceted tightrope, "any day the other shoe is gonna ongoing use, that is SO strong... also people need to start understanding that JUST LIKE with racial or cultural or economic stereotypes and bias, addicts vary just like anyone else. To add on to that, many people who are addicts have a learned strength and perseverance that comes along as a result of the struggle. Therefore, typical day to day challenges of mentally "well" people are easier to overcome by people like addicts, recovering addicts.. anyone else who struggles and fights.. they have a resolve built on the pain and then overcoming of the issues as a result of the former.

Maybe he is claiming addiction to try to cover for trafficking. Maybe he is claiming any trafficking was personal use?

I think his involvement in opioid are in the sales & transportation area. Wonder if he has cartel debt?

No one gives a crap about the Daybell case.

I immediately thought the murders were in retaliation for Mallory's death from the boat crash; totally shocked when he was arrested. I do think he was responsible for the housekeeper's fall & his son(s) were involved in the young man's death...it's all just crazy 😳

He used to rent his property to hunters, and you know what? Who does that should have their lives disgraced anyway. WELL DONE, KARMA!

Too much and never enough....

Why would Alex Murdaugh kill his wife and son?

I don't think he had drug problem, hes got sticky fingers tho!!

I don’t believe his addiction at all . Harpoo pulled that one .

Drug addiction? More like drug trafficking. Complicated? More like sociopathic.

He sounds awfully calm for someone who was just shot, on the second 911 call when co.pared to how he sounded on the first 911call

There are many doctors, attorneys and big corporations who have been on drugs and function well for awhile

There are many high functioning opioid addicts. I was one of them

“It didn’t matter”, but yet you let him go. SMH.

i've realized that most people live with 2 faces. the one they WANT us to see and the one that looks back at them in the mirror. THAT'S the one that i've had to answered to at the end of the day....but that's jus' me...

So unfair 😒

The money wasn't spent on opioids but by his wife's crazy spending, on vacations, on expensive cars and on spoiling his children rotten!

While many of us just want an opportunity to have a simple life, here is this warm , expelled from hell, filled with hate, greed and ambition.

He keeps saying, Alec Murdock. His name is Alex Murdaugh. 🤷‍♀️

Eric Alan's videos ( on RU-vid) on the Murdaughs are brilliant and far better than anything court TV does.

When you don’t have the drugs you can’t function but on drugs he cobe find that’s probably why you’ve always seen him on drugs never off so you don’t see the bad times That’s what I say to the friend who doesn’t Believe the opioid addiction What else could possibly have pushed him to that extreme

True

Except for the young woman who died tragically, the rest is like a Coen Bros movie.

I'm only interested in the parade crasher case.

As many others have pointed out, that guest lawyer expressed his profound ignorance of opioid addiction. He's too dim to know what he doesn't know. Makes you wonder what else he's "certain" about . . . and, most certainly wrong.

i can tell by the DAs description of those on Opiods who appear in court, that once again law enforcement is citing Herion users in with the whole lot. Stupor? I think not from experience. and can we please make the distinction between oxyconTIN ond oxycoDONE. there is a huge difference. maybe i'm the exeption to the rule but after 15 + yrs of oxycodone use i have had no - none physical OR mental dependance. i will say thay after all that time it just simply quit working.

The maid tried to push him away and she was saying get away from me get him away from me. I think they need to exhume the body they don't have any choice. I think she might have played dead for a moment. This would be another reason why he wanted his wife dead because his wife knew

Gambling addiction?

He must have had some heavy duty life insurance policy on both wife and son. That doesn't do a thing to mitigate his reprehensible crimes. Drugs destroy families. It can happen to anyone who dares to "chase a dragon. The dragon chases back and when he gets you, he not only gets you, he gets the entire family.

Cousin Eddie? This sh*++er is full.

This interviewer sounds unprepared. His questions are shallow and redundant.

It doesn't matter who u are once the drugs get a hold of u ur finished end of story drugs don't have a conctions

Trust me there are people with opium addiction, you will not no it .

The hospital staff could say something about his alibi, right!?

he admitted to violating their rights. You need ras to identify people. Our fourth amendment right.

Why does he always have glasses on the top of his head?

How 🤔 & Why can a man do such a awful thing to your loves one's ❤ possessed with evil .

He has never seen a functional addict & him an ex cop & prosecutor there are thousands of dr's judges etc on opiates & hiding their addiction very well ???

A pile of bodies? You talk about Clinton ??
