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

The now-dead son was not of age to drink but had been drinking, had friends on a boat, hit a cement (?) bridge and one of the very photogenic girls was thrown out, died either from blunt force trauma or drowning and her body was found a week later. Son was accused, Mother and alive brother were also accused of helping now-dead son buy booze. That's one death.

The family housekeeper fell down the stairs and died. Dad did some wierd stuff to get his insurance to pay out to her sons, but somehow the sons never got the money. That's a second body that could have been an accident but was bad juju on the part of the Father.

Third was a young man who might have been more than an acquaintance of the now-dead son, who died as a victim of a hit and run. That's a third dead person with no charges places and a tenuous connection to the family.

The fourth dead body said to be from natural causes was the Father's Father, dead-son's grandfather, who was said to have provided the Father with an alibi of a hospital visit the night of the murders. His death was three days after the two family murders.

This is the way I remember it; I hope I'm more accurate that Prince Harry, but corrections are welcomed.

@ the Prince Harry comment.

Good summary.

What about the part that he paid a guy to shoot him/rob him on the side of the road? It wasn't suicide by paying this guy I don't think. The man is really sick.

Correct me if I am off: but weren't the deaths of the wife and son initially maybe framed to be because a whole lot of people were pissed at the boy for drunk boating killing the girl?

Which son was the son that maybe had gay sex with the kid that was hit and killed on the side of the road? The dead or alive son?

Also: Where is the alive son? Is he supporting his father? Did the father try to get shot so the son got insurance money? (Suicides don't pay insurance)

The content of the calls showed he didn’t really remember much from law school either, he had no idea what Habeas Corpus was during his preliminary hearings.

---

By all accounts he wasn't much of a lawyer, lived off his family legacy. That part of the state they ran it for generations. He inherited it because of his name but certainly dint earn anything. blame. Grandfathers picture was still hanging in the courtroom where his preliminary stuff was happening.. His son Buster was/is a law school drop out. The son that was killed was a 5 foot 5 inch bully that got away with everything growing up because of grandpa. The HBO documentary was sad, the boyfriend of the girl that died on the boat was pathetic. After all that happened he was still sympathetic toward Paul.

IMO there are many other dead bodies attributed to them because people still fear the name.

Yes at first, then it was a gang due to Alex owing them money for his drug habit. To be a lawyer he has some lame excuses.

Yes the Smith kid and Buster the olderest son were rumored to have had a relationship and the family found out and it was going to be exposed. The alive son live in Hilton head and seems to be trying to lay low but also semi supportive if his dad. It will be interesting to see if he is at trial.

Many local legal experts seem to think he will get away with the murders but will go down for the finance stuff, it is overwhelming. His legal team is the best in the state and the prosecutor is doing his first murder trial.

They straight up stole from clients that they represented, some clients ended up with nothing or pennies on the dollar of wht they were owed. They set up conservativorships that once paid just milked the money out of accounts. It is amazing how long this has been happening.

I think Mandy Matney did it all for attention.

I’m curious to see all the evidence. Supposedly the State has some interesting evidence linking him to the murders but not much has been put out about it. Rumor is that there may be some evidence involving Paul’s cell phone right before he was murdered.

I think there is no doubt Murdaugh was involved in the murders but I’m not completely sure he was the one that actually shot one or both of them. How shady he was, I kinda believe he hired somebody to carry out the murders. I think with the timeframe, he wouldn’t had time to get rid of the weapons in time. Also, there has been no report or evidence describing where or what happen to the murderer(s) after the shooting. A random person wouldn’t knew the layout and how to get in/out the property. It had to be planned.

I think that night, Maggie was the main target. She knew that Alex was about to get busted for his shady shite. He was trying to cover it up but knew Maggie was not going to go along with it. I think Paul was a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Before Alex supposedly left that night to go to his parents house, Maggie was the only one going down to the kennels. Some believe Maggie was going to tell Paul what was going on and that maybe was the reason he went down there. Others believe Paul showed up at the wrong time and saw/heard things and was killed to prevent having a witness.

But Bevel concluded that the T-shirt is 'stained with high-velocity blood spatter resulting from shooting Maggie and Paul' after his initial report found the stains were 'consistent with transfers and not back spatter from a bullet wound.' Murdaugh's attorneys accused SLED of 'badgering' Bevel into changing his report. The T-shirt was later destroyed 'for purposes of forensics testing by the unnecessary application of an oxidizing chemical stain,' the court filing states. Bevel's initial report only came to light when prosecutors with the South Carolina Attorney General's Office accidentally turned over a copy to Murdaugh's defense team, according to the motion. The white T-shirt is a critical piece of evidence for state prosecutors, who have suggested in court papers that the family patriarch shot his wife and son after fearing his decades-long corruption schemes would be exposed.

This dude will walk if shite like this is already going on.

Paul didn't trust his dad and he was taking a picture of a friend's dog that he was keeping at Moselle. He kept the video and audio going on his phone and supposedly the time stamp will show Alex's alibi is a lie.

I think I got interested in this convoluted case because I felt so very, very sorry for the wife and mother.

As I see it, she thought, for quite a while, that her life was going well. Her husband may have been an a-hole to live with, but they liked their life together.

Then, one day she was at a charity lunch and wrote a check. Just as she had countless times before. And a day or two later, a friend had the horrid task of calling her and telling her that the check bounced.
I don't know how much the check was for, but if the check couldn't be covered in a normal working checking account, AND if whoever was their bank officer didn't step in and work out the problem, there was something really wrong.

I expect he talked his way out of it. As I understood, it happened a second time. And 'fool me once, shame on you, foot me twice, shame on me." And she started looking and saw her world crumbling.

That misery, and then to be shot dead.

One drunken night by his idiot son led to all this.

Apparently there is a Snapchat video taken prior to Paul’s death.

quote:

---

Alex Murdaugh's youngest son Paul sent his friends a Snapchat video shortly before his murder — and it is a key piece of evidence in the state's case against him, South Carolina prosecutors revealed Wednesday in a new court filing.

Amongst other things, critical to the case is a video sent out to several friends at approximately 7:56 p.m. on the night of the murders," wrote Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Creighton Waters in a petition to secure the attendance of a Snapchat witness. "The contents of this video is important to proving the State's case in chief."
