Aren't the Cooks cousins and not brothers?!
Alex was more than a "Family Destroyer"…. he was a "Community Slayer" as well…
They are all guilty for being in a boat so drunk.
Why did they get in the boat knowing Paul was drank?
Why was Alex responsible for his sons decision to drink n boat? Paw paw was over 18. A legal adult.
So everyone got paid. RIP MB XX
Wow. Surround yourself by the right people and things like this won’t happen to you.
Hamilton…wheelchair guy is still waiting for his $$..😢
Did the attourney go after the party with MOST $$$?…too get a larger settlement?..as the attourney says
"Its NOT about the money" ..😂..
Yeah right!!!!
As much as I respect this lawyer for what he did on the stand, i do NOT respect this! This angers me actually.
That store shouldn't be the one paying thats not fair these kids purposely deceived and others were punished.
I wouldve understood if they went after and stayed on alec murdaughs neck but not the convenience store thats weak, that was a weak move.
To me it looks like privileged children get drunk act of a fool and get millions, this is NOT justice its robbery.
Not ok!!
What a joke, the circus continues. It sucks the girl died but they all got into that boat willingly.
Money was the big consideration!!!
Finally… Justice 😢
Paul was very clearly struggling to walk on that video. Unbelievable
6,000,000$ goes to the lawyer before all of the 7%interest put onto the money before it goes through the full process of appeals. My dad won a case giving over 1.2 million and he got a check for 798,000+a couple hundred the lawyer got basically a whole other house out of it and he sucked I wrote all his questions, prepped every comeback and he messed up the last witness from testifying there should be a cap on lawyer fees past 3million or sliding scale. ppl are getting 10’s of millions all the time nowadays.
Lawyer licking his chops getting 33% of all of the millions coming in from all of the families that was a juicy case from him.
The cook boys aint proper. Adults cook need not honnor what theyve done
Lol. This media is so worki g for murdaugh. Pictures of beach. Thats a tinsley move. Liar is one thing alex didnot do on the stand under oath. Tinsley may loose his liscense to practice. Anthony and connor will be held accountable.
4:05 that poor lady was probably crucified by her employer.
Millions from who tho…. The murdaughs we’re having money trouble …. They’ll see 50,000 each maybe
When they stopped at the bar for liquor after leaving the cookout, was the bar sued?? They must have seen the same ID and served someone who was already intoxicated.
The boy was obviously drunk. How did the other young people get the idea to sit in a boat steered by him? He was obviously drunk as a skunk.
It was not about the money 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
15m$ wtf
USA in a nutshell.
Wyethtf that’’ absur
What about the bar that sold them all shots?
How much of the total settlement was retained by the lawyers as their fee? I think it is a fair question as we all know that lawyers are not inexpensive.
it was always about the money . sick parents . drunk daughter willingly partying in the boat etc and they get millions ? what a joke
Sue store to store sold under age
Why in the world wouldn't that bar that that served them shots when they were 1. Underage 2. Already drunk, be responsible?????
Congrats on the awards especially to the lawyers. Mallory's lawyer just made $5 M.
It was always about the money 💰
The parents of the girls who were around this family should be smacked.
This family was evil.
Aren't they suing the restaurant who gave them shots? They did the same thing as the convenience store.
And are the lawyers getting their "taste," third of the settlements? What organization does that mirror?
The Beach family received $15,000,000 and Mark Tinsley received $3,000,000. That is what I found on google.
I can’t count the number of times that I knowingly got in a car/boat with someone drinking and driving; I’ve done this as well. I grew up and lived in a small town during the 1950-1980s. I seriously doubt that my parents would have sued the driver had I been injured or killed. If I was the driver, I seriously doubt anyone would have sued me. Times have changed. Take responsibility for your own decisions. The store/bar that sold Paul the alcohol and checked his ID should not have to pay.
I know the Paul was buying the beer. But they were all drinking. I feel that some of the other young people should have taken responsibility for their selves. But they didn't. And the saddest part is that one young lady lost her life.
I just now heard that he bought cigarettes. That could be another reason the lawsuit ended the way it did. Selling the cigarettes was a federal issue.
Make sure to sue the beer manufacturer and the boat manufacturer too
Because it’s always about the money
The store ID'ed the customer it was a valid ID I do not understand how they are held accountable??!!!
This is not a victory Alwx is never going to be able to pay a dime. Mark Tinsley is an opportunitist and a joke!
It’s nice to see trial lawyers put away.
Connor and Anthony Cook are NOT brothers, they are cousins..
