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

quote:

---

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

---

Which is why they obtained so much testimony from AM that he was a friend of SLED and they constantly were trying to cover for him and his family. It had been going on for generations.

quote:

---

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?

---

Again, why did he change shirts?

We can do this all day. I haven't seen the trial from day one, so I'm not familiar with everything and don't want to come across as I do. I'm repeating what every single legal expert was saying this morning.

And I will just say, yesterday, you stated that the state presented "literally" no evidence that would give the jury any reason to convict. And you argued that it's a known positive strategy for defense attorneys to put their client on the stand, as opposed to being more of a desperate move when the state has done a good job of proving their case. When people pointed out most defense counsel try to keep their client off the stand to avoid damaging cross, you argued that was false and exactly opposite, even though most don't put their client on.

I just think you're a bit over the top in favor of Murdaugh, which I guess I find a bit strange.

The two women jurors crying during his testimony isn’t really good news for the prosecution.

Probably not.

But that was prior to cross examination, and when his counsel was trying to drum up sympathy. I doubt that at that point, they tuned out the remainder of the testimony, including tuning out cross examination.

Juries, especially women, probably display quite a bit of different emotions, depending upon the testimony.

But we've known that since the video came out and was corroborated by 10+ witnesses, that's not a new bombshell.

Some people binge watched the Murdaugh movies and are just now coming in interested. So I posted the videos for that purpose.

I am unsure of a lot of things. Was it established AM threw Maggie's cell phone from his car while driving? I missed this part.

I think the prosecutors are spending too much time on his financial crimes and not the Murders

I agree. If they don't move on from that fairly quickly this morning, I think they're making a mistake.

He's wanting to make a point that AM looked at people that he loved in the eyes, and completely betrayed them. So why not believe he could do that to his wife and kid. I think everyone in the world knows that he's a complete arrogant douche, and liar. Move on.

It feels like he's on trail for financial crimes.

AM has no relationship with SLED. His buddies are local police/sheriff's. It's honestly possible that AM has seen SLED misconstrue evidence in the past that was used to convict innocent people.

That's what he wore to work, do you often change out of work clothes at some point when you get home?

I don't think it's unfair to ask why the state presented days of testimony about clothes it's assumed (again, they have no coherent narrative) were worn during the murders, and now suddenly are jumping back to different clothes. I could easily see that jump taking place in an investigation, but not for evidence that required substantial time during the case in chief. More of the state just throwing a bunch of facts against the wall and hoping the jury clings to something.

And I will just say, yesterday, you stated that the state presented "literally" no evidence that would give the jury any reason to convict.

I said they presented literally no direct evidence.

And you argued that it's a known positive strategy for defense attorneys to put their client on the stand

---

It is if the defendant can handle the cross.

as opposed to being more of a desperate move when the state has done a good job of proving their case.

This certainly does happen. Not what's happening here IMO.

quote:

---

---

I argued that the defense trusts AM's ability to avoid pitfalls that prosecutors used to trap people, make them fly off the handle, seem unhinged, etc. That's yet to be the case with AM.

I just think you're a bit over the top in favor of Murdaugh, which I guess I find a bit strange.

I'm in favor of the state puting together a well though out and cohesive case to put someone away for life or even the death penalty beyond a reasonable doubt. I've yet to see anything close to that yet. I tend to look at it as if I were the one on trial and I didn't do it, I would want others to actually look at the evidence presented and determine guilt based on that evidence (as is the law).

I am watching it LIVE here

anybody got the link of those lawyers that comment while watching the trial?

I don't know how many more ways the prosecutor needs to establish he's a liar, crook, addict and general piece of crap. If the Jury hasn't come to that conclusion by now they never will. It's time to wrap this up.

Can a person take 30 oxy pills a day and not die? Is that possible?

This line of questioning is horrible

I still think the prosecution is in bed with defense

"Paw paw, Mags, Bus, Ro-Ro"
