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

Help me understand the motive of Alex for the killings of Maggie and Paul. I just started following this two days ago.

It only takes one juror to have doubts. Maybe one of the jurors believes what Mrs. Mixon said yesterday, that Alex was a wonderful person who she had known for thirty year and she knew he couldn't do the things he was charged with doing. To a particular demographic, what she said and believed would resonate.

Maybe the equality of circumstantial and 'can hold in your hands' evidence won't be believed by one.

According to something CNN reported last night: when Alex was tearfully testifying, some jurors were crying along with him.

Who knows. Maybe not. South Carolina and all.

How about explain what you mean by the " South Carolina and all".

quote:

---

Direct evidence is not required. If you’d seen or heard the jury instructions you’d know that.

---

I never said anything to the contrary. I was just making a statement.

quote:

---

Just stupid.

---

What's their theory? Please explain it in detail with their timeline. Don't leave any gaps.

quote:

---

That’s called building your case.

---

They have been throwing an entire slew of things against the wall hoping something sticks. They have no clear narrative. No demonstratives, no renderings, nothing to help the jury see how this was committed. The state's case in chief was a jumbled mess with no clear path established. You can call it "building you case" but it was an incoherent hodgepodge that contradicted itself.

quote:

---

So abjectly stupid that it’s hard to comprehend much less answer.

---

List some direct or circumstantial evidence that has been presented at trial that is most powerful for you.

quote:

---

Not dispositive or necessary. If it was, countless murderers would never (and wrongfully) be convicted.

---

The issue here is that the state lied to the grand jury and told them there was blood on Alex's shirt. And that got leaked to the media. And it wasn't true. So there's that.

quote:

---

Wrong. You either didn’t watch the trial or have a fatal case of ADD. Regardless, not required per the jury instructions, which, again, you would know if you watched the trial.

---

Again, I never said that motive is required, but the state has spent weeks on the financial motive aspects and that is also a jumbled mess. In a few concise sentences, what is the state's narrative about the motive?

quote:

---

Which is expected considering Alex controlled the crime scene.

---

So because someone was at or near a crime scene within a guesstimated time a murder took place, they are guilty because no evidence was found? And lack of any physical evidence tying then to the act of murders very likely to be expected so we should just assume guilt?

quote:

---

Well that’s just stupid.

Alex was with them minutes before they were murdered. He lied about that, repeatedly, and pressured others to lie to support his bullshite timeline.

---

We don't know definitively when they were murdered. He did lie about being at the kennels at 840pm, and is one of the worst pieces of evidence for him. He didn't pressure others to lie to support his "bullshite timeline." That's a fabrication of what is in the actual evidence and testimony.

quote:

---

He is, by his own words, mentally unstable enough to hire someone to murder himself

---

This took place months after his wife and son were murdered and never should have been admissible.

quote:

---

deceitful enough to lie to hundreds of people to defraud them out of tens of millions over a ten plus year time span..

---

AM is undeniably a cheater, liar, and thief. He needs to go away for life. That doesn't make him guilty of double murder of his wife and child.

quote:

---

So clearly you either haven’t been following the trial or else you lack the comprehension to process what you’ve seen and heard.

---

Quite condescending for a person that is stretching the facts of what is actually in evidence.

quote:

---

All of them so far I have heard have blown huge holes in Murdaugh's testimony about his clothes, testimony about where he was, lying about being at the kennels, etc.

---

What did he testify about his clothes? On his direct or cross?

The lying about the kennels thing is definitely a bad piece of evidence for him. But we've known that since the video came out and was corroborated by 10+ witnesses, that's not a new bombshell.

Video evidence presented in the trial from Paul's cell phone of a video Paul was sending his buddy that had his buddies dog with a hurt tail in the kennel-- Of AM's voice yelling at Bubba one of the dogs- placing him in the dog kennel before the murders.

Video evidence of AM in different clothes-long pants and a shirt in a short video of a tree falling over and PauPau laughing.

When AM testified yesterday and admitted HE LIED saying the last time he saw Maggie and Paul alive was dinner.

Does he justify the timing and suddenly changing the story from taking a nap to 'maybe layin down a bit for a minute'?

Does he explain how he didn't hear gunshots?

Why didn't the state ever try to obtain those clothes? They never searched for them, never asked for them, never asked Alex where they were.

The lying about the kennels thing is definitely a bad piece of evidence for him. But we've known that since the video came out and was corroborated by 10+ witnesses, that's not a new bombshell.

---

As they are saying, why would a grieving innocent man who just found out about the brutal murder of his wife and child, lie about not being at the kennels? It may not be a bombshell in your eyes, but it hasn't at all been reasonably explained by anyone.

quote:

---

What did he testify about his clothes? On his direct or cross?

Where is the blue shirt that he was allegedly wearing on video, that has mysteriously disappeared?

Where is the blue shirt that he was allegedly wearing on video, that has mysteriously disappeared?

SLED testified they never asked for the shirt or went looking for it. That's in evidence.

If they believe he murdered them in the blue shirt, why did they test, retest, and retest the white shirt? Why did they spend days of testimony about it in their case in chief?

I imagine the blue shirt and long pants were stashed at his mama's house and guessing later destroyed?

Buster apparently said on the stand, that his father took showers a lot. Someone remind me what clothes Blanca said she laundered?

Also: not that this needs to be any more convoluted. But Alex looks heavier than the hours before bent tree pic?
