Murdaugh is a good example re the Dem Party...once one becomes corrupt, it usually progresses exponentially to cover for previous crimes. Until one wakes up one day and has kill their own to 'save face' and self.

"A little leavening leaveneth the whole lump". Cautionary tale.

I’m shocked at the speed of the verdict.

His grandfather’s portrait had to be removed from the courthouse prior to trial.

Maybe a little but the prosecution did a great job of helping them understand that he looked them in the eye and lied to them during this process. They laid out a nice trail of circumstantial evidence and let common sense do the math and physics part.

The people of that county are celebrating the downfall of Alex and hopefully his family’s influence has been irreparably damaged.

Two hours of deliberation to decide a man’s life?

Terrifying.

Even the Darrell Brooks/Waukesha parade monster jury took 3 hours. No justice was had, and a murderer walked. The famous quote (paraphrased) holds true: A prosecutor could “indict a ham sandwich.”


Zero silver lining in this verdict. Just a reminder not to believe in human processes; faith is to be placed only in God.

Except he was found guilty, and I got to see him led off in handcuffs.

One of the keys to me was the casing found at the scene matched his favorite gun.

Other potential suspects would not show up and “borrow” the murder weapon.

Murdaugh is a vile liar (tho the state lied too) who would’ve been going to prison for life anyway for his financial crimes. But I was left with nothing but doubt re: the charges of murder.


Critically thinking, honest people with a backbone were missing from that jury. The entire trial was an embarrassing travesty—the judge, attorneys, gallery, and jury. Netflix, social pressure, and soccer moms convicted this guy; evidence didn’t. It was emotions-laden trial rather than a fact-based one.


Just my opinion. Clearly others disagree, as did the only people who ultimately mattered. I certainly respect the rights of others to think differently than I.

Dude was prejudiced from the start. What did his theft and opioid addiction have to do with murder? All the prosecution proved was that he is a thief and a pill popper, and they only proved that because he admitted it.
All of that bullshite about him stealing and his addiction was to prejudice the jury. He was convicted in the pretrial motions when the judge didn't prohibit the prosecution from bringing that into evidence. That's why it only took 2 hours for the jury to come back guilty on all charges.
He wasn't on trial for theft and opioid possession.

Dude got railroaded.

And you’re not from the area and your educated opinion means nothing..these jurors knew of his family without knowing him and his huckleberry hound/fake cry routine with him lying about being there proved his undoing. He is a psychopath that has been unchecked his entire life and the jurors had enough common sense to see through his lies this time.

I see this going to appeal for a retrial.

He was there before the murders but it doesn’t mean he was there for the murders.

No weapons were found.

There's no fricking evidence he committed the murders.

Murdagh

When the addictive personality finally catches up with the one it rules.

Only this was an extreme case of it which included decades of chemical use often reaching 40,000 to 60,000 dollars a week.

Anyone want to challenge that sustained, chronic drug use can rewire a brain to the point it rationalizes that it could commit the most despicable of crimes and get away with it.

When he testified on the stand it was a study in mental instability under another stress situation.

His lawyers cringed at the thought of him testifying for himself, and advised him against it, but he apparently insisted.

So indicating that he is narcissistic enough to have gone against his lawyers' wishes.

His reason for testifying: he convinced himself that he could sway the jury.

It was during his testimony that the prosecution once again was able to revisit his already well-publicized image as a chronic, presumptuous liar, who had lied numerous times under interrogation.

The longer he testified, the deeper the hole he dug for himself.

He was shown to be a liar and a shyster, who was stealing from his own law firm, by misappropriating the awards his firm had won for its clients.

His partners discovered that he had been doing it for years.

In the time period shortly after the murder of his wife and son, he even staged an "attempted murder" on himself, using his criminal cousin - who was one of his major suppliers of drugs - as an accessory to help him with the staged event.

An event contrived to convince investigators that he was under scrutiny by someone connected to the previous event his son had been involved in which resulted in the death of a young girl in a boating accident.

Before that "theory," his lawyers even tried to convince the jury that their client's involvement in drugs could've resulted in his wife and son having been killed by the gang of hoodlums in the area who were involved in the drug trade.

Something that was tried in the O.J. trial.

But to not dig the hole deeper and libel himself further, Murdagh added slyly a qualifier that he "didn't believe who ever tried to kill him was among her close family."

During his testimony, his mannerisms, postures, and facial expressions were such that the body language experts on Court tv had a field day with him.

They had him convicted before the jury did.

Wonder if now, he'll flip on his criminal cousin.

Was he also at the scene? Two weapons were used.

With forensics that the defense grabbed hold of early which showed that if it was one shooter, just with the shotgun, he would've had to be a contortionist to have shot Paul in the way his wounds indicated.

Could he have done that gruesome act against his son with the shotgun and then grabbed another gun, the AR, and ran after his wife to finish her.

The other weapon conveniently disappeared.

And who was it took the wife's cell phone and drove less than 100 yards down the road and ditched it where it would almost assuredly be found.

The addictive personality can really cost the one it dominates.

Yea I kind of wonder if it was a mob hit by people he owed money to, causing him to be in financial trouble. They made him watch it and then framed him.
