re: Investigators When they KNEW Murdaugh lied (Page 112)

Dude answers every question with a question. Is that a strategy?

He's trying to clarifying this clusterfrick of a cross examination

quote:

---

Is his being truthful integral to his defense?

---

When did his use of the badge ever come up before?

They are trying to paint him as entitled and get the jury to convict not based on the non-existant evidence.

It's borderline prosecutorial misconduct honestly.

His badge is relevant, as Dorito put much better than I:

Most of this line of questioning is to show he has no reason to distrust law enforcement because he goes around acting as law enforcement to gain an advantage and is friends with law enforcement.

---

Only listening, but how is it coming across? Dude is obviously guilty, but prosecutors demeanor, at least as it sounds on radio, risks jury being sympathetic to Murdaugh

quote:

---

Or it’s showing prior inconsistent statements so the jury can evaluate his overall credibility

---

That's totally fair.

But this is the first time the badge has come up this entire trial or in any questioning that I've seen. So that's not the intent of that line of questioning.

This cross is awful

It's possible, but I think if you didn't hear his defense led testimony leading up to cross-examination, it's more difficult to judge. He has painted himself as a victim all morning. Excuses. Drug addiction was the cause of everything, from an old football injury, etc.

They’re building him up as a liar, a phony who carries around a badge, a scumbag who steals from younger children, paralyzed people, etc.

This is the beginning of destroying his character. They’re doing what they need to do.

I heard it and the prosecutor can catch him in lies and turnover his rosy red bullshite without coming across as a challenging arse. Prosecutor is argumentative.

Blanca told PauPau that Mushell called and said Alecs mama was upset about her husband being in the hospital...

I am making crap up with their names.

Wealthy lifestyle define it.
