Respectfully, I can’t believe I sat through this video. They had Alex cold. Forget the direct cell phone evidence PUTTING him at the scene, forget the spent shells that matched those from the family weapons which only Alex could’ve put aside in advance as if they stolen, there’s just so much more. For your video to end implying there’s some suspense here is disingenuous. Alex did it. x1,000,000.
America's Justice system is a double edged sword; You have so many rights that sometimes guilty people walk free, even when there is overwhelming evidence of guilt. I hope he rots in jail.
02:59 Pretty empty courtroom for opening statements – what happened there? It was full throughout the trial,
00:43 Law & Crime Network need new video editors. Why are you showing the picture of Buster and Maggie just as you mention the killing of Paul and Maggie~? I mean, those following all along know…but c'mon~ that was an easy one.
When a narcissist with delusions of granduer grows up entitled so that everyone & everything in his orbit confirms his belief that he is better than other, this is what you get, an Alex.
2:41 –2:45 hes reliving it in his head. Love this camera placement
AM used 2 different guns to support his theory about 2 shooters! Also, AM testified that Paul always had guns scattered all over!
I actually really enjoy the fact your commentating, explaining why these people do what they do and what it means. Usually I’d rather just watch a make an opinion for myself but in this instance I’d rather hear input from someone who’s very experienced with this type of contentðŸ‘🤘🤘
They should dredge the pond for the gun and cclothes
Of course he did it.
I believe hes a monster!
he's so busted.
This dude is gonna walk. The only thing they have on this guy is that his voice was on the phone and his alibi is swiss cheese. But not weapons, no blood on his clothes, no nothing. Another OJ trial.
Devastating! So 😠sad poor Lady and her son. Just awful 😞
in cases like these one is starting to miss tragic clown Darell Brooks
This case is crazy. I could see it from both point of views. There is a chance two people were stalking him and knew they left guns laying around, waited for him to leave and killed Paul and Maggie. But he could have hired somebody also and be involved regardless. He does not seem to be acting like someone who is innocent
Based on the cell phone evidence he is guilty, beyond a reasonable bit of dought.
The guy on this video should try to pronounce at least his first name or last name correctly. Alex Murdaugh is NOT pronounced Alec Murdoch. Can’t he get at least one of them right? It makes you sound totally clueless when your job is searching for clues!
The lawyer was doin so good til he started talking about gas being the reason his head "exploded"…. mans outted himself as not knowing much about weapons
How about this. ? The gun that was supposedly stolen out of The sun's car a few years ago ? Might he thought about this for a long time And take That gun out of his son's car And that's the gun they're looking for?
The son Buster is lucky to be still walking the streets.
All that land and those poor dogs are locked up in what I call redneck cells. I wonder how many pills this guy digested before the slaughter?
Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. True Social path.
If he was addicted to opioids for 20 years…would he have been a lot thinner then? Where is all this money?
Maybe he used same gun but 2 different types of bullets to create confusions…
How come he have no blood…if he said if he went searching for his son n wife n finding their bodies .. will u u not check if their is some life etc… so there must be some blood getting transferred while doing so..
So finding no blood on him also should be considered as an evidence
I swear he did it
The defense attorney is the worst!!! The brain flying in the air ????? I don't think you can "butcher" without cutting utensils. Best just say ANNIHILATE. He annihilated them, like so many other family annihilators. Proud to represent a man that stole the money from the housekeepers kids??? Everyone at that table SCUM
On the 911 call instead of saying his wife and son need help he said my name is Alex Murdock I live at so-and-so address….THEN HE MENTIONS HIS WIFE AND SON BEING SHOT. WHEN YOU MAKE A 911 call you prioritize byy importance and most people would say "my wife and son are shot please send help". But not Alex Murdoch. He was most important. And then within the 911 call he's already letting them know his alibi. Guilty
His goose is cooked.
I had a cousin who found her husband who had shot himself in the head…and her reaction was to try to shove his brain back into his head!! Being your son, I'd believe you would try to do the same, not check his cell phone!! 💯
The Murdoch’s own the justice system in South Carolina. He will get away with all his crimes.
he is a lawyer, he is not fool that is for sure!
What did Alex Murdaugh do with all that money he swindled from his clients?
Why do they call him ‘Alec’ when his name is ‘Alex’?
May justice prevail! What a horrible crime!
Paul was the cutest son. This man is despicable! Even his name says murder. Murdaugher! 👹
Nikki Haley is Governor there….dirty crime family as well as the other lawyers and judges etc
My opinion. Defense proves what a monster he is. No remorse
Who then. Pls don't let him get away with it
