Alex Murdaugh’s lawyer, who stated he was honored to represent the disgraced attorney, presented the defense’s opening statement Wednesday in the Murdaugh family murders trial. Richard Harpootlian attacked the state’s evidence, claiming nothing ties his client to the murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in June 2021.

Ridiculous the mistakes this crap lawyer makes about critical facts of this case.. Unbelievable!
There stating the roadside incident alex wasn't shot flesh wound
Is this lawyer “learning-disabled†or “on the spectrum?†A head injury perhaps?
He's sooo guilty….
Where is the gunshot residue? Where is the blood stains? This is key evidence in proving guilt. Circumstantial evidence does not prove guilt no matter what people say. There is no forensic evidence to support the prosecution in pinning these murders on Alex. Especially, the manner in which both Maggie and Paul were butchered. There would have been blood all over Alex Murdaugh these are the facts. This is his life and the lost lives of two people. It would have been very easy to frame a man that stole money from people. Anyone could have been responsible. It was easy to hate Alex Murdaugh for the financial crimes he committed. The two deaths of young people, the maid. There is plenty of motive to harm Alex Murdaugh's family. Paul had callously enabled the death of a young woman in the boat accident. There was plenty of reasons to hate Alex and seek revenge. The best way to hurt him would have been to go after his family.
He states it is my honor to represent Alex 🤮🤮🤮
Of course it matters if he was at the kennels b/c he lied & said he wasn’t meathead. He also changed his clothes & showered bag of hot air numb nuts. You also were gonna be Paul def attorney claiming his innocence?? Unfortunately, he served no time in jail even being charged with maybe manslaughter but daddy took care of that.
He’s crying like this because he’s replying exactly what he did to them. It must be hard coming down from ur high a realizing that you just killed ur child and mother of it.
How many millions did he steal per evidence? Did his wife know? Madoff got 150 years Federal prison for stealing millions.
Just read that Bernie Madoff got 150 years of Federal prison for stealing millions and Al Capone was sent for tax evasion
I have to admit that this defense attorney is good. He comes off likable, intelligent and convincing. I'd definitely want him as my lawyer. That being said, I don't have much doubt Alex killed his family. And while there may not be direct evidence, if there's enough circumstancial it can make a compelling case. And most prosecutors aren't going to take a case they don't think they can reasonably win. (Btw the Behavior Panels video analyzing his body language the night of the murder when being questioned by the detective is great. At first when I saw him in tears at the start I thought ok maybe this guy is innocent. But they immediately shut off, with all other emotion. And he's just totally unbothered or concerned while being asked questions. I know people can respond differently to trauma, but this is crazy.
Guilty AF
All the other deeds murdaugh is involved in, desperation is a powerful driver of behavior
I'd like yo know how the state was able to convince a grand jury to take this case to trial? Afterc4 days of testimony I am sickened by the way the detective and Mr Greene, head officer ignored evidence and clearly looked at no one else for this crime even tho Maggie had brown hair tangles in her fingers while laying dead on the ground!! Alex clearly doesn't have brown hair, and that Paul had a bruise and scratches on his cheek! Where did this bruise and brown hair come from???? Who on that boat had brown hair that was so distracted they may commit this crime?? That should have been the first suspect!!! I'm shocked that this trial is even I'm progress
I believe he will not be convicted based on the financial theory of prosecution unless the hard evidence against him proves so
His wife feared he'd get her.
Yes, he did kill them because money trouble an stealing money from the guys he work with.
My gosh this defence lawyer/politician has a very boring, quiet toned, un-interesting weak defence…speaks more like a politician imo
I love how everybody in the comments are experts haha🤡
I don't care how good the D sounds he killed them or had them killed period
In the interview video inside the cop car Alex (who fake cries the whole time) said he kneeled down and checked their pulse. So if there’s so much blood and brains everywhere than why didn’t he have any blood on him? Because he went to his demented mother’s house and cleaned up. Burned the clothes. This case is so easy for the state!
Dude can’t even say his clients name 😂 worst defense team I’ve seen in a long time. “It’s an honor†🙄
They make me want to vomit. . . Preferably on them.
