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

Anyone can tell me how he may be found Not-Guilty? All I am hearing from anyone is Guilty 100%.

I was wondering if any reasonable doubt has been presented.

---

The prosecution hasn't presented a single piece of evidence directly linking Alex Murdaugh to the murders. Everything so far, in my opinion, has been circumstantial. "He's a piece of shite who stole millions", "he's a piece of shite who is just coincidentally linked to a few other deaths", "he's a piece of shite that lies constantly", "he's a piece of shite who was there right before and right after the murders", "he's a piece of shite who drove near where Maggie's phone was found and he just so happened to slow down right in that specific area".


Ok, all of that points to him either
a) being a piece of shite
or
b) guilty as frick

BUT I haven't seen a single piece of evidence that removes reasonable doubt in my mind. He's not going to be found guilty UNLESS the jury lets their personal feelings about him based on his past dictate how they vote for the verdict.

He's guilty but what's the obsession with this? If I leave YouTube on I get this stupid trial. I deleted all my stored YouTube data and watched videos and I still get this damn trial. Log in here. Top of forum.

The guy is guilty. But i don't get why it's such big news.

Because he's a very wealthy guy from a very powerful family being accused of literally blowing his own child's brains out then putting a giant hole in his wife's head. On top of that he has a history of stealing millions of dollars from clients, has a list of close friends/acquaintances who have died from suspicious circumstances about as long as Hillary Clinton's list, a ton of circumstantial evidence but no concrete evidence linking him to the murders. It's a very intriguing story to follow.

His physical presence, which he lied about.

He didn't step over the 'murderer' or run him or her off the road. The dog didn't bark up a storm while he was there, and those dogs have great sense of smell and would have heard or smelled the approach of strangers.

I watched the police body cam footage of them arriving on the scene and the dogs didn't bark very much with the police strangers walking up. Can't really draw anything from a dog's reaction.

Everything around this case is strange, but still nothing that convinces me of anything concrete. Almost any theory could be argued as plausible from Alex doing it to a revenge hit on Paul and Maggie being collateral damage.

If his story was that he was there taking a nanosecond nap and listening to the TV and he heard gunshots.

(I live and have lived rural. I know gunshot sounds are common)

But you can tell 6 to 7 shots on your property are cause to go see wtf with a loaded gun. From intruders to a pack of rabid animals in mind.

So if he said he heard the shots and went to check them out and found his wife and son murdered. We wouldn't be here in court with him accused of murder.

The LE lied about blood on his T-Shirt to get a grand Jury. They suck.

I think overall they are all corrupt AF. Dirty cops, the law firm, bankers. and AM is the financial crimes bad guy. Many lawyers are listed in the general wronged clients list. AM is the fall guy.

Then mix in everybody is someone's cousin and they could be more than happy to cover for others pissed off that Paul killed Mallory Beach.

Or that Cousin Eddie or cowboys did it, they all know it and it is easier to wrap it up and pin it on AM only-

Knowing the local jury are friends of Ellick or 5th cousins they will vote not guilty...Never entering the death penalty.

So Ellick goes for 30 plus----he will die in jail anyway, and they carry on in their towns dirty deeds of drug smuggling using local bankers and law firms?

AGAIN, and as just mentioned in closing, circumstantial evidence is weighed exactly the same as direct evidence.

I want you to write that 50 times.

People really show their tv show legal expertise when they keep harping on this.

Thank you.

"How he guilty if they don't even have him on video shooting them?"

I haven't watched any of the trial just read this thread. I remember first hearing about this from my daughter and my biggest question at the time was motive. My understanding at the time is that killing them didn't really solve any of his problems. I assumed the trial would lay out exactly why he killed them both. It sounds like the state didn't spend enough time explaining to someone like me who knows very little, exactly why he killed his wife AND his son. Just my 0.02

What time were they murdered? How do you know? The phone was supposedly thrown at 9:07 but yesterday's witness said if you throw the phone like a frisbee it won't light up. Only the shooters know the time of death. You are making assumptions as to time of death with no proof.

---

Phone records show both phones locked at 8:49 pm, Paul’s at 8:49:01 and Mags at 8:49:31. With Paul’s it had been used nearly constantly up until that point, last at 8:48. Mags went through orientation and backlight changes as if someone picking it up and recorded steps moving.

So yeah pretty good indicator of time of death.
