He’s still appealing from what I understand

​@@C23467He'll be appealing until the day he expires. Nothings gonna happen. This whole thing was a farce from the very beginning.

Indeed!! I watched everyday his trial and no doubt about it he is KILLER!!

@@C23467 Doesn't matter. It won't do any good. He's locked up until he takes his last breath.

Alex had it all , now look 8×9 state cell 😳

she?

Judge Toal is a maven. First female Supreme Court Justice for South Carolina. Love her.

@@KohalaLover I thought it was a he!!!

@@jomangeee9180ouuuuuu me to!!!

@@jomangeee9180 me too.

💯 😊

That’s a CHICK?!?!

Wait. She??

@@abigailh7715 yes that's a woman

Holy crap, I had no idea that was a woman till I saw this comment. That’s a dudes voice. What the!?

I am too 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤗

What exactly impressed you?

I agree entirely. Both accomplished, experienced and astute judges. Kudos to them 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Me too.

Judge Newman is AMAZING!!! Nothing short of PERFECTION ON THE BENCH !!!

I Saw that, you can look at him and tell that he is evil

I also saw that! Just imagine what dread he would have expressed if he was innocent! I would be screaming if someone killed my wife and son and I was wrongly convicted of it! He had the smirk as if he was saying to himself "just wait.."

You’ve got to lowest you expectations considering he is a certifiable narcissist n’ all. No empathy meant he can’t feel remorse.

What a horrific decision by the court. When a clerk tampers with the jury for economic gain a New Trial is ordered. End of story.

The judge did an enormous favor to murdaugh by putting the condemnations on record of the clerk. Mistrial will.happen if not at state than at fed

He is still appealing from what I understand

@@C23467agree. Everyone seems to think this is over-it’s far from over….they already spoke about appealing this.

Right it's still crazy to me that someone would do such a thing unbelievable

I don’t feel for his family at all. But I hope him being in jail forever brings comfort to all the other people he hurt.

😢

Naw, I won’t cry for those people, we are a better world because they’re not in it. Sorry, not sorry. Paul in particular was a *horrible* human being. His mother was an absentee narcissist parent. Dad here is the malignant narcissist.

@@kateashby3066As raw as your comment may read, it is true. Both parents failed their child Paul, had they invested their time in actually raising their children, not raising them to be privileged & above the law, and everyone else. It’s learned behavior, I somewhat feel bad for Paul, but again, he also was an adult and ultimately knew right from wrong.

Don‘t forget the housekeeper Gloria!!!!!

Mags & Paw Paw 🐾 RIP 🪦 🪦 🕊️ 🕊️

His own wife n son 😮 it come to kill, steal , destroy 😢

Isn’t that the Truth! I noticed during this entire time he’s shown Zero remorse or sadness for either of them. My sadness as a mother would be so overwhelming you’d have no choice but to put me in a mental hospital

Amen

No, but it can force the state to spend millions and millions to try to get him back in prison for good. And if they fail. Who cares, OJ , he slit the throats of two people. He’s still walking among us. Free as you and me.

But it's classic Murdaugh, find other ways to not take responsibility for your actions 🤦🏽‍♀️

​@@devonstewart9376 Agree 💯

The smile he had when she made her last statement. He looked like a real psychopath. 🫣

She did a good job! She also said Beck Gill wasn’t credible! ABSOLUTELY THE TRUTH!! Becky is a snake

@@stephenellis2866yes she!

Justice Toal

Might as well call her King Solomon, splitting the baby and all.

@@awc658not at all 🤷‍♀️

Horrible decision. A new trial should be ordered.

@@Solitude47152I agree

@@Solitude47152 Why?

OK, Enough with Newman. He’s retired

lol 😂

👏

In my opinion, you win the internet today. Good, fair, appropriate Justices are wonderful! And she is a treasure to SC.

Yes!

@@patriotbella lol, i thought he was too, for a second...the hair.

Agreed

It doesn’t matter. The appeals court will not be looking at it.

Glad she got the ruling done so they can start the appeal on it.

Well it won’t technically be forever. He has to serve the rest of his natural life in prison, yes, but when he dies, they’ll take his body out of prison and then bury him somewhere. No one can be in prison forever.

Throw away the key! Nomore outings!!!! 🤣

​@@adamwilliams9487I am sure that there have been some inmates that were thought to have escaped because of not being found. Disposed of by other inmates or guards. Too many people in prisons for too long not to have happened.

He can in four days send that report to the Supreme Court and re trial that way , hopefully his ego and craziness doesn’t

He is still appealing.

Amen

Exactly, the difference between the two is so far apart, this one is how it should be!

Except she made the wrong decision. When you tamper with a jury for an economic gain it’s grounds for a new trial, end of story.

@@Solitude47152 I agree 💯

He needs to retire in embarrassment.

I can only imagine how slick he has been in his lifelong career.

It does seem like Dick Harpootlian's approach might not be resonating with everyone. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops and what accusations he may come up with in the future.

@@RLFinTX He is representing his client. He must do his best.

@@Solitude47152 Where did I disagree with that? Why comment on mine as mine is mild compared to the rest?

We had this moron where he needed to be. Rebecca Hill is a disgrace. she should be stood down. Good for the judge calling her out.

I’d say she’s smart and made some money

I agree💯

He's lawyers still made a good record and have grounds to appeal this judge to a higher court to decide if she was wrong, with the way she handled juror z is point 1, the screw up of cellphones 2, and argue standard she is using for this is wrong 3.

Yes, Judge Toal was the first female Supreme Court judge for South Carolina.

Her tail is now permanently tucked between her legs. If she did not experience shame and humility today then she never will.

This is NOT about her writing a book.

@@SeeFair23 Yes it is…

😂😂😂

Did she break any laws?

100

fast talking? lol he is kind of slow

They're just doing their job. What's wrong with you?!

Lol ! True

I saw him scratching his hands and scratching his hair and he came in there with his little Dream Team he still wearing orange no matter what he ain't never going to get out of that

Remember the 27 year plea for the financial crimes is currently running which he can’t be released early or appeal - even if new murder trial was granted, he still would have been incarcerated.

That’s how delusional he is.

Hahahahah 😂

😂

For the same reason OJ isn’t.😊

he was already sitting in front of them🤣

And not for deer hunting.

Orange County goes with his skin

It’s the new black, so I hear.

😂

​@@jessikathompson3469😂☠️

Amen to that !!!!

She's running this courtroom yes❤

What a horrific decision, what a clerk tampers with the jury for economic gain a new trial should’ve been ordered, end of story.

Perfectly said

What a horrific decision. We have a person who tampered with the jury for economic gain. NEW TRIAL should have been ordered. End of story.

I loved Judge Newman, he appears to be a very compassionate man, it can't have been easy for him judging this case not long after losing his own son

HES APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT

​@@ROSEB He still won't get another trial.

@@ROSEBagain not SCOTUS but rather the SC state Supreme Court. This is the system, they can appeal. It doesn’t mean any portion of his sentences (he has multiple!) will be reduced or removed.

I understand your perspective. It's important to remember that legal proceedings focus on different aspects, and while addressing clerk's wrongdoings is necessary, it doesn't change the gravity of the crime committed. The decision to hold someone accountable for a heinous crime should always be based on a thorough examination of the evidence and facts.

I like this judge, but I miss the African.

Amen

Okay so you discovered “Google” and now you’re gonna get all preachy.

@@georgefromdownthehall3334 Wow George! You had me at hello. Your powers of deduction are magnificent.

I so agree, show respect! 👍🌟❤️

Amen!!!! I just adore her! I like the way she runs her courtroom!

What a horrible decision. A criminal act was committed. A new trial should have been ordered. Shame on the Court.

Idk, I kinda miss the African

Buster? He didn’t attend court today.

@@KohalaLoverShe never said he was there.

What did she plagiarize. I only heard her say she did, but I didn't hear from who.

​​@@hennesseyme9112I don't know but I think it was several people's articles? I'm not sure about that.

becky is not a writer. her editor AND co-writer (WRITERS) should have caught that but THEY were star-struck!!!

@@hennesseyme9112 He said an article from a British tabloid, but didn’t mention specifically. I’m sure if you search the net you’ll find exactly what it is.

@@julesservantofjesus972 I wonder what publishing house she used? If she used KPD (Amazon) to publish her book she could get away with plagiarism, but now that she admitted that, if she went with a publishing House, they are going to pull her book.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow 🙏

aw, thank you so very much! that has to be the sweetest, most kindest reply I’ve ever had in my whole life.@@surgedeb

They did the right thing. I am unsure that verdict was the right one because Becky did step out of her bounds. If he gets no new trial, she should get no punishment for what she did.

​@@hennesseyme9112She's still in trouble for plagiarism in her book.

@@julesservantofjesus972 technically there’s not much that would happen with plagiarism other than no one will publish with her again. Unless she’s sued for it of course!

@@hennesseyme9112 she still faces her own disciplinary charges, I expect she’ll be pressed to resign from her elected position. Just because she may have said something doesn’t mean any influence came from her, it appears that the influence came from the jury itself. I have served on a jury myself, and they do call you in and ask each member to verify that this is your verdict. If there is any lack of clarity from a jury or an individual juror’s verdict, they handle this then and there or they may declare a mistrial. They all did that last year, so they clearly didn’t see what she may or may not have said to them (or one of them) at some point, as having inappropriately influenced their decision. It’s possible that what she may have said was not intended to make them come to a guilty verdict. It came from the prosecutor I think, who said that jurors should watch Murdaugh’s behavior, which would not be wrong at all for one of the prosecutors to say this to a jury. I am listening again to some of the trial testimony and statements, to see if that’s what may have occurred.

​@@ErinAbou Yes I'm sure she'll "resign" aka be fired from being a clerk.

I love Jennifer Dorow!!!

No judge would have been able to control Brooks. At minimum he has ODD, probably a lot more. Dorow did an amazing job - I was shocked she came back so soon after the trial. She had the most impossible defendant but she managed to avoid a ton of appeal issues. I'm not sure who could have done better but I think she did an impeccable job.

Stealing money is worse than taking someone's life?

@@paulwheeler567 no doubt 😮

That’s exactly what my diesel truck sounds like

Gross!

It’s all the buttock Sechs he’s free to enjoy now.

He’s finally with his own kind. I think he’s at home.

Sounds like someone is turned on by big red.! 🤮

His gullible siblings are probably sending money to put on his books, and he must be hitting that commissary pretty hard and also he might be getting extra honey buns from his fellow inmates in exchange for legal advice. He's apparently adapting well, like a snake to its natural habitat.

She retired after the trial.

But, if charged with interference that makes it permanent and helps his appeal.

She did NOT interfere with the verdict! DID NO ONE LISTEN TO THE JURORS?!

I’m not a lawyer I have never studied law, but today Justice was done. I learned a lot.

Good 🙏

Yeah, and right when she says her verdict, his face squinches up. I really think he was surprised. I like watching the girl with the blonde hair behind him. She gets a slight smirk across her face after hearing the judge deny it.

wry smiling?

Amen
