Wow! Take your blinders off!!!
Psykosis is awesome 💯
Did this lady not hear what the jury said???? They ALL said the kennel video was the most damming!!!
You probably shouldn't have this lady on your show anymore She is not pleasant to listen to and what she says is just insensitive and doesn't pertain or have any value to the people watching your show
No, normal honest people do not tell the officer that they have no idea why they were pulled over when they know they were speeding. You say yeah sorry officer I was speeding. That's a normal non-psychopathic way to answer the question
I don't know how any human being with a tiny ounce of intelligence could say they believed Alex's fake emotions. Were you there to listen to his interview in the police car directly after he just found his wife and son brutally murdered? It was despicable and disgusting and you can tell they're sitting in that car with the murderer
I also think if you take the financial details that were testified to and put up the character witnesses and the fact that he was in financial hardship after stealing money and doing drugs and coming to his last rope trying to run and hide and not be caught, you're still going to get a guilty verdict
Also, with all of the evidence and the story and the truth and the testimony the fact that he completely lied about saying he was right there with them as his wife and son were murdered is going to be very solid evidence for a guilty verdict with a jury. And then it was his gun and he mentioned his gun. Those things are what stand out and they were proven by the experts.
The jurors aren't going to sit there and think about well did the prosecution do good enough to convict. They don't go to other murder trials they've likely never in their life seen another murder trial. They're not going to sit there and evaluate the work of the prosecution. They're going on what they see which includes his lies. Thank goodness it's a jury of your peers and not people that want to evaluate if the prosecution did quite enough to prove something That's obvious to every other normal human being in this country
Yeah that's the point of having your peers be your jury. Because if they had to go through every little scientific thing with us fine-tooth comb, that's impossible. Cherries are going to decide the case on a story that was given, the story and the flow and how much it makes sense to them, with scientific evidence. They are going to decide a verdict almost emotionally, with proof as well. You're not going to expect general citizens to get up there and be all knowing deities in every little thing.
You can't say his testimony help to not hurt when you're thinking of regular everyday people who are judging him not like a teacher with a check board grading The work of the prosecution and him to see who scored the highest on a test of legal intelligence
Alex knew that when he admitted he lied that he was putting himself imprison for life cause he admitted all his financial crimes. I have always said prosecuter had a personal grudge against the Murdough family and it showed big time
I agree. Jury couldn't take notes and there was no proof AM committed murder. Just that he was a lousy man.There was a lot of reasonable doubt too. I still believe the murders were related to the boat. Accident. I think jury needed to go over a lot of the testimony and evidence. Because they couldn't keep notes.Prosacuters did not prove case at all. I hope he gets a new trial.
He wasn't just there. He did it. No question.
You make no since … you don’t know what you are talking about ..
We, as a people, refuse to let parents punish their children in today's society, so this is the results you get . When I was a child, if I misbehaved anywhere, I got a spanking right then no matter where we were at, and that was all it took. I am not saying some parents didn't take things too far, but they should never have taken spanking out of our schools. The killing and evil being committed by our youth today comes from a lack of consequences for their actions, and until we change our way of correcting our children, things will only get worse . We need to have a parent in the home and a breadwinner out providing for the family so that children have adult supervision all the time . I believe it is better if need be to have less money to have a more stable home for your children it is worth it in the end.
I think stealing money became a game for Alex it gave him a high like no other .This man lived on the edge with his life but seemed to love his family and wanted to give them everything at all cost, which is why I can't wrap my head around him being the one the pulled the trigger. I think it had something to do with all his bad deeds, the money fan deep in that law firm. I am sorry, some people you just don't steal from. Maybe he lied to keep the family he had left . All of this is just a thought.
And the guns were the family, and Maggie was going to divorce and Paul was costing him money 💰 that he didn’t have so get rid of him ( really 30 million dollars he had to go and Buster you can tell is his favorite. So at least with him gone 30 million gos away and with the money from Maggie’s estate so Buster could pay his part. Timeline. So say Alex did do the shooting but no doubt HE WAS THERE THE VIDEO PROVIDED IT, YOU HEARD HIM. SO IF HE DONT WANT TO TELL WHO DONE IT. HE Rather go to jail than tell so let him rot in jail. How can we really trust any of you now especially when you lawyers sat on tv and take up for him. And NO IF I GOT STOPPED BY THE COPS SPEEDING I WOULD OWN IT and SAY YES I WAS AND IM SORRY. ONE JUST NEEDS TO TRY TO LIVE A LIFE FOR GOD AND DO THE RIGHT THING. IF YOU DONT KILL PEOPLE THEN YOU WOULDNT HAVE TO WORNG BOUT IT. NOW I WOULD TO SEE YOUR COLD SELF GO AND TELL THOSE KIDS FAMILY’s OH HE DID’t DO IT EITHER.
What a waste of time you two are. Good bye!
Your talking rubbish woman!
Overall I was really impressed with the podcast. It was really well made and the amount of key information that was pointed out while listening really made me think of how both brutal and insane all three cases were talked about like with the Alex Murdaugh murder case or the oxford school shooting or the teen who stabbed 4 people. While listening it made me think about why those people had committed those murder’s but then it clicked they had either lost their mind or the person had nothing left to care for and decided to take out repressed guilt, anger and sadness into something more. The back and forth discussions between Joshua and Joanh was very interesting with them talking about each case’s motive into why and how it correlated to actual crimes that occur and how they're either the same or different. This really opened my mind to more about chaotic murder cases in the world and how they really change our look on people, I would definitely watch this again.
To kill your own son & wife bcuz of money, all he had to do was get himself some help, admit his wrongs but, no the ego on this man, the shame he would've brought to his family and the legacy, he seriously is an evil POS
It was the defense that “opened the door” to the financial crimes. The fact that he was at the murder scene after all was a major component of the guilty verdict. There was motive and plenty of evidence, circumstantial and otherwise, to convict him. So after 6 weeks of trial, obviously there was no need to prolong their decision. It was obvious to me when I saw the first police videos right after he killed them. You guys have insulted the jury and their hard work over 6 weeks. His GUILT was obvious.
I watched every minute of the trial and the thievery did not sway me toward his guilt at all. The GPS info, Paul’s video, and the superb way that the prosecution tied it all together made me absolutely certain that he did it. I was surprised that the jury wasn’t rigged, and I truly expected a hung jury. But he was also very unbelievable on the stand. The jurors mentioned that he cried no tears. They understood the electronic info, and got it right.
Bullshit completely disagree with you as an attorney . Really 👎
