1am currently, what do u think😂. The other night i listened to brooks' trial. His trail was like a train wreck

hahaha, am with ya...

​@@Iambatman_27what's brook's 1rst name?

Yes! It’s been two weeks and I’m still on his cross exam

Yeah but then I have nightmares lol

Spot on 👍

He's an X-Lawyer!

Well, yeah. He’s been doing it for like at least 20 years, probably longer.

He's a lawyer, what do you expect? 😂

And probably genetically…

1st place

Strawberry blond. Buster 's is flame red.

​@@BrigitteGoodman more like dirty blonde.. not stawberry.. its light greying ginger.. im strawberry so i know!

He'd have to repeat the question first, buying time to formulate the appropriate response.

🤣

never heard him use that term in any interview with detectives

what's wrong with that?

He sounds so stupid when he keep sayin paw paw

@San Geet -it’s a term of endearment for the victim from his murderer, so it’s offensive. He should only use his formal name, not some nickname to make it sound like he was a loving father.

@@IUsedToFloat boohoo. he called them that most of the times he called them anything and that's what comes first to mind when he talks about them. Are all people called by their full names in courts. Moreover, the whole trial is about him claiming he isn't the murderer, if that slipped your mind! "offensive" "endearing" to you? too bad, deal with it - it's between him and his

CLASSIC behavior of someone who is 'guilty'...

Classic 🐂 shitter. Lol. Sadly he thinks he's good at it. At sentencing he will still be saying he's innocent and he's gonna appeal. Wonder where he ranked in his law school class ?

He is an Idiot and 🙏 So Hard for his guilty conviction. Entitled greedy POS. Oh and watching the Netflix doc.....Maggie was no better. She was a self absorbed. Mother who loved her money and status and....drank with her kids. She must have been a Capricorn.

@@colenexoxo8939 she knew about a few murders and definitely the stealing of money. I also don't feel bad for buster either. I think he'll goto jail soon too. The whole family is evil and can all burn in hell. Even the corrupt ones who still know about everything and are gonna live happily ever after . Will we ever hear what the uncles , cousins, brothers etc did also ? Probably not.

That’s always his MO, he distracts with details that are unrelated and don’t matter. His entire time on the stand with the defense was nothing but that and so was the initial discussion with the first cop and the next few times too. I’m sure it’s how he dodged financial questions from clients as well.

Seeing that he killed his wife and kid I’m not sure how much more shocked one could be…

Like the sex trafficking

Yep, Even his Lawyer DICK DICK

More shocked than they already are

Not only Alex, but I’m sure his dad has a ton of secrets that he kept to the grave.

Common strategy for liars. They will admit to something very bad, so that it is more believable when they don’t admit to something else that’s even worse. Oldest trick in the book.

he was indeed forgiven for over a decade, because he made money for his clients and for his ungrateful law firm. This prosecution team never lied (they are elected!), never convicted on false grounds (they're lawyers!), never made scapegoats to pose as good guys while not having evidence. You aren't forgiven for getting flushed down by this prosecutor's irrelevant repeated questioning

He’s not asking for forgiveness. He’s being asked about stealing money, so he’s plainly stating that he did it.

@@lorrainejackson7989 uhm, the entire case is a murder case to which je plead not guilty. He already paid back or had the firm pay back money he stole.. so idk what you’re talking about

@@ChemCorps I know. You’re taking my comment too literally . . . .

He just plays to the SC people his family has controlled for over a century. It’s disgusting. This narcissist is going to get away with double murders because his family has owned that uneducated county and jury I don’t mean to be hateful- We have no clue who us on that jury. But they are from that county. I think he’ll get off I hope he gets bail and goes home. He won’t come back. I’m almost 5’3

Never touched or shot a gun in my life. I fuckun@ hate guns.

I also hate my rapy pa and I hate Alex Murdaugh.

YES!

@@oliveoil4380 😮😮😮😮😊

That kennel video sealed his fate.

Waters is an outstanding attorney. But with that said, the defense attorneys are morons and unprofessional - which continues to show how Alex believes he is smarter than everyone else, as he must have believed he picked a good defense team. The only time the defense ever spoke they gave exaggerated impressions of children throwing whining tantrums. Good job Alex, glad to see your mind at work there, great choice, as always, if you thought you stood a chance with those guys.

not if you're trying to fall asleep to it.

I’m pretty sure I heard on his phone he has Paul as “Paul Paul” But yes he never refers to him like this in all the interviews only in the stand

@@workingonmyroar7944 Something he could have easily edited in his contacts before he turned over his phone. He took the time to delete phone calls and a video chat with his wife before they asked for his phone.

​@L P Yes! I just saw recently that he wiped his phone clean after the murders. I had no idea he did that. It was also noted that his cell phone he had in the car with the investigators had a factory set screensaver on it.

He’s trying to seem affectionate towards his son

🐾

He has chosen to block that out. He didn't forget. He don't wanna go there in his evil mind.

Selective memory. He doesn’t want to come clean.

@@chasityyoung815 I think he likes the sympathy he gets from his family who still believe he's innocent. He is beyond evil to do the things he did.

@@PositiveMommaLife no he doesn't. You'd have to have remorse to confess and he doesn't have an ounce of love in his heart.

@@lp6196 His older brother has chosen to have no contact with him in over a year which tells me he no longer thinks he's innocent. I think as time passes, the rest of his family will come to realize that he's not only a self admitted liar, cheat and thief but a murderer as well. I don't see Alex ever admitting to killing his wife and son as that is just plan 'unforgivable'.

No, that’s not accurate. He’s an attorney, specific words matter. They all lead down a different path, so he’s not letting the prosecutor use certain words to steer his answers in those directions. Pretty expected from an attorney taking the stand, really..

Pretty obvious to me, he thought every question was a trick

Accurate Kevin. His body language say it all! Lol to the disputers.

@@kevinledford8260every question is a trick. That's why you don't talk

And sometimes he couldnt even hold back a smirk!

That’s soooo common in government. We had at least one known city official who did this where I live. I’m sure there’s many others but this one guy was caught during a very severe DUI situation. This is just one guy from one small town in one state. It’s common everywhere.

Who wouldn’t want to have a Badge and Blue lights in their vehicle. Everyone of these Crooked Lawyers would luv it.

I h ave seen policemen do this all these people abuse their power when they have money . Just like they are paying politician people to make laws to control ,screw the rest of us for money then just like this make themselves above them

lol he isn’t the only one-many take advantage of their jobs

Cops do it all the time he's not only one doesn't make him killer

Lied and misled are synonyms lol THAT is what makes you think he’s awful? 😂

All severity softening language: - "wrongfully took" instead of stole - "hurt" instead of killed - "misled" instead of lie

My favorite is “well, I guess I consider that a lie by omission”

Ditto

Restored my faith in the jury system.

Exactly.. he is a master manipulator.. I can't imagine having to deal with this man at home or at work or socially on a daily basis. He bulldozes everyone and is exhausting. Makes you throw you're hands up and concede

He is a danger to society. But his inmates are gonna give him a taste of what he did to other people for decades.

@@acm6085 He's what some call 'slick' back when the term was derogatory unlike today when bad means good and a man can be a woman, adopt a baby and claim he/she's a mother too. lol Don't get me wrong as if a person is mentally and financially stable with a loving family and caring friends and the choose to become a transgender such as Bruce Jenner did, then by all means, go for it. All of his kids are on their own and he's divorced so I say good for him who is now a woman and enjoying the rest of his life the way he wants to as an Empty Nester living alone at last! lol

OMG right?!!!!!! 😂🙌

I love the surgical percission that Waters used with the badge to prove Alex is a liar. It was masterfully done. 😂

2000mg of oxy a day is only 72k a year if you pay like a dollar to the mg

Majority of the money he stole from clients, was used to pay his 6 figure credit card bills, utility bills, cash, car payments, some was paid for a private flight to a ball game, this family was living way above there means! The boat accident happened way after he started swindling money from clients he has been doing that shit for years

If he was high on oxys to any great extent he would have never been able to function as he did. He's full of it, the bulk of his theft went elsewhere.

@@dormiebasne3578 I agree! Drugs aren’t cheap by any stretch. And along w/ the lifestyle he was living as well. That gets expensive VERY quickly!!

@@jessicadavis4163 you cant tell these people anything that reverts away from he has money stashed, that's what fits their narrative anything that doesnt fit their narrative they argue about. It's obvious they were living way above their means, plus bills, plus his drug addiction

He’s an ass

Well, he got away with those killer eyes for Decades.

Yesssss

Protruding brow ridge, soulless dark eyes, pathological lier, no remorse, no regret......these and others are signs of a psychopath. The protruding brow ridge happens during puberty when the adolescent has higher than normal levels of testosterone causing imbalances, especially in the brain. AM is a true psychopath, his wife wasn't too far behind so I've heard which explains a lot about their relationship and also how they treated ppl. I heard they treated ppl as common folk and sort of beneath them.

I love how cool Mr Waters is

Anybody on the stand during cross examination glares at the prosecutor whether they’re a murderer or not. It’s usually one side or the other.

Let's not minimize my ruthlessness

🤣

😂😂😂😂

I couldn’t believe that, evil dirt bag. No remorse.

Thinking the same. I can see how people in the community would think he's an OK dude. Soothing, soft voice and very bright, manipulate indeed

Pure evil in human skin. He hated his son Paul whose boat accident exposed him and his wife who is going to divorce him. Both things put him in legal jeopardy and ruin. That was his motive for the double murder. Because of his standing in that small rural community, he thought he could walk away, maybe even claim life insurance of them. This dude is more cruel and mean than an animal. Should have got the death sentence that he deserved with all the deaths and financial crimes he committed

Yes ! Black eyes!

my cat gets eyes like that before she attacks

His eyes express all the humanity of a Great White Shark.

oh yeah! Nice catch.

Noticed that I don’t know if he said they or I. But always thought that was a weird thing to say . Like they did him so bad. They didn’t kill him the right way . Either he told them to do it different and it went wrong or he did. Sometimes I wonder if he did hire someone. He is so worried about saying no one else was around which hurt him if he wants people to believe right after he left someone came.

Exactly!!!

Very well said!

HELL MORE LIKE IT.

Doesn’t make any sense really. When you have a certain amount of money, it’s a lot safer and easier to just do the right thing. You’re able to afford less risk in every way.

Prison gonna be so much fun. His fellow inmates already got him to put money on their books in jail.

The last part of your sentence refers to the "tenor or mood of a room". You don't want to bring rationalist debates to any argument....guaranteed defeat.

Me too, I’ve watched it a few times

I have heard so many times that people repeat the questions because they are trying to buy time to make up an answer

He repeats the questions to think of the next LIE he's going to tell.

Yep buying time to make up more bs answers.

I don't blame him prosecutor jobs is to twisted he's words around make him look guilty . I don't know why they even doing he's stealing money in case with munder anyways . You would t be able trial on doctor uses he's harming patient or how many times they been sued

@@chriscypret5365it’s to discredit him , that AM is a liar so the jurors don’t believe him

I bet Alex is being blackmailed for something far more SINISTER!

How long were you a Junkie ??

I believe AM was being blackmailed and no way was he taking that many pills.......more to come in the lawsuits ahead......

Yep, I caught that too

He thought he was so much better than everyone else! 😒

Uk also. Addicted to watching this

For UK watchers I call your attention to the Darrell Brooks case in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The lawyers and the judge have really prominent Wisconsin accents. Could not be any more different from this. Two great regional accents one in the South and one in the North.

@@ArizonaJoeHines What a wonderful assessments of the accents here in the states. What I love about it all ( and I live in Virginia) is the different colloquial terms used amongst the 'natives' are just great. The south-so polite and congenial-the north, direct and with confidence-very neat. This "southern charm' ( the whole 'yes sir/no sir thing) is used to disarm the listener. Gotta be careful with these folks. Alex says Yes Sir No Sir all the time...while lying all the while.

There are certain catalogs where you can buy those items.

I’m from the UK, and I am obsessed with this case. My family are fuming, because it is constantly on the TV! Prosecutors are brilliant, defence are shockingly bad!

Trying for sure.

Definitely. This is how he befriended the unfortunate people he stole from too 🤨

He is trying - and is used to being believed in his position of (former) authority. He is out of his depth there, and it is backfiring in the court, IMO.

Big fail tho eh ? To us common folk he's coming across as an A Hole Snob. 🤣

how can you steal from a teenager, a young quadrapeligic, a disabled man whose mother was your devoted nanny / housekeeper and because of you was evicted and then homeless....Alex I hope you are someones bitch in the big house

It’s not about thinking he is guilty or innocent. I think he is guilty of either killing them or having them killed, but if I was on that jury I would be the hung juror. The investigators blew it. They didn’t preserve the crime scene. There were tire tracks that didn’t belong to Alex’s vehicle and they didn’t preserve them and drove right over them. There is so much they didn’t do. Why has no one gone to where the truck stopped and searched a half mile radius around that spot for the missing clothes? I would never sentience someone to life in prison or a death sentence for murder without direct evidence. He could’ve lied simply because he knew he was the primary suspect being the spouse. There is WAY to much reasonable doubt. When in the history of crime have you ever heard of a family member cleaning up a crime scene? This whole thing was blown by sloppy half ass investigators.

@@eagleclaw1179 Who else is supposed to clean the crime scene? It would be a family member or a cleaning service either way lol

If they find him responsible that will make him a serial killer = 3 or more murders.

@@giveadoggyabone1 he only killed 2🤦‍♂️

@@eagleclaw1179 so you’re saying common sense should be thrown out when looking at this entire double murder?

He's much more than that. He's despicable.

Well said! And i used to watch Hodee Hairyarse J.D ( just a british nickname for her lol) until i fell asleep with head phones in, lets just say i woke up in a cold sweat cable round my neck with Juan Martinez blasting Jodie...Thought she was strangling me.🤣

@@nicolageorge1433 bahahaha I would have thought the same!! 😂 so glad I’m not the only one that rewatches these trials over and over 😂

Exactement les politiciens font ca aussi très souvent .

The Behavior Panel here on KZfaq did two examinations of him, he consistently shows lying it's a panel of four.

The rest of that strategy is to delay answering. It not only buys time to think, but gives your lawyer time to object to the question and breaks up the pressure from whoever is asking the questions.

Body language is pseudoscience. If we could tell when people were lying OR telling the truth, we wouldn’t need court and we’d never have an overturned conviction. It’s dangerous.

And his mouth is extremely dry because it's extremely hard to spit out the Truth 🤔

Exactly. As soon as I heard that he was testifying I knew that his fate was sealed bc the state was def going to be able to question him about every lie he told and every crime he committed, which would ruin his credibility. However, I do believe that he thought that he would be able to manipulate this jury into believing him, since he had gotten away w/so much for so long, and it ended up being the opposite bc they made him look just like the liar, crook and murderer that he is!#Im happy that justice was served💜💙

​@@benitaapplebottom01 he had to take the stand cause he was busted for lying about being at the kennels

I’m so glad he showed the world who he is !👿

Thank God this murderer took the stand and dug himself an Everest size grave.

Cause he had nothing else. This case was basically evidence he killed his family and nothing to deny it but his own words.

Asking him why the jury should believe him now would be wrong. It opens the door for him to say, " I lied before but that does not mean I am lying now. And that does not mean I kilked my wife and son." And that is exactly what they want: reasonable doubt.

Prosecutor may say all this during the closing statement to the jury

@@justinm1200 would be a better time to do it anyway because he can’t respond back. He clearly has no issue with being a difficult witness.

@@Broseph4245 lol but we all see how he talked his way to the bank

Of course. He’s done that from the jump and it’s how you manipulate these situations in your favor especially verbally. He wants to run the conversation so he can control everything about it. That’s what this guy does. It’s what he did when he called 911 too.

He’s trying to get the prosecutor off his rhythm.

You mean talking about irrelevant financial crimes in a murder case?

@@onri_ he is basically destroying his act from the direct. Showing the jurors that that's what he does best. Convince people that he is trustworthy, sensitive etc. but actually all he cares about is his own benefit! He pointed out that he used the nicknames to gain sympathy. He pointed out his years of experience in court and knowing how to address the jurors (what tricks to use to manipulate them). And most importantly, he got under AM's skin and is showing now his real face! Did you notice that his accent even got thinner? That's because he used his accent to manipulate the jurors and gain their trust. So much manipulation in everything this guy does! Including working with the police, which is why there isn't that much of a tengible proof. So the prosecution needs to get the jurors to realise by themselves why that is (him knowing how to work a crime scene and corrupting the police). The timeline of the evening is the big one for them and again, they want the jurors to connect the dots and figure out by themselves what this guy is truly capable of.

@@nomad_sofficial I agree, this is a completely different person than the one we saw during the defense’s time with him and it’s glaringly obvious imo. I just hope the jurors see it.

@@PresleysMom504 you and me both!

I think he comes across as a bully. He’s not likable. Besides the more he drones on and on about the financial crimes and the defendant continues to admit to lying and stealing, it makes the defendant look more sympathetic while making the prosecutor look like a bully.

I would disagree with that. But maybe it’s because I come from a family of attorneys. 🤣

There are some great attorneys, and there are some not-so-great attorneys, just like in every other career. It’s always the bad ones that ruin it for the good ones out there

I mean body language is a bunch of BS because there are many factors that you need to consider with that kind of stuff, it’s pseudoscience but I mean anyone who looks at this guy can tell that he’s guilty. I just watched the doc you series about his family and the murders and everything on Netflix last night and this guy is absolutely guilty. The way he mishandled the Mallory Beach murder was disgusting, he had no regard or concern for her safety while trying to cover his son’s crime.

True!

You ever spend 50,000 dollars on drugs every week?

@@onri_ nobody consumes drugs that costs that much each week.

He would been dead or waiting on a liver transplant. He was stealing from his client and he was possibly a drug dealer.

I've thought about that. He shot Paul 1st and the 1st shot was to his chest. ME testified that shot wouldn't have killed Paul and that he was still standing but moving slowly. His father would have to walk up closer to literally blow his brains out. I often wondered if he cried out anything but I guarantee Paul would have turned to see wtf just happened. Maggie would have heard or even seen that 1st shot, if not the 1st, she would have seen the 2nd shot I believe because the 1st shot to her was to her front lower torso. If she watched her husband blow their son's brains out, I can't imagine what disbelief and betrayal she must of felt. Then he turned on her. They knew who murdered them and I hope the looks on their faces in those last moments haunts Alex every night. Unfortunately I don't think Alex cares because Alex only loves himself.

@@the-finn let's hope their faces and voices haunt him.

Imagine being Maggie. Having to be married to this POS. His rambling alone would make life unbearable.

I think about, did they say anything during the shots 😢 knowing Alex is the one ending their lives.

You guys see where Alex “broke down” when the forensic person explained how the 2nd shot that killed Paul could only happen with him slumped over and his head turned looking at his shooter? I think Alex in that moment probably realized last thing Paul saw was him? I think Paul kinda leaned out of the doorway too see if Alex was still there with the shotgun and he was. They locked eyes and boom

Yes you are so right!He is a Narcissist !!!He probably has an alter ego that he made up (like Paul had "Timmy" ) that he blames all his bad actions and crimes on It's not me, Alex the family man or at least I can't remember I did that. It would have been Alec the lawyer, crook,drug addict,liar,thief,big mouthed bully and killer who "would have done that "..( and always uses subjunctive instead of indicative )That's why he can cry too, because he is the humble, regretful poor little family man that lost his wife and son...I hope the jury sees through his show, since the prosecutor didn't do such a good job on the 2nd day of cross, I am really fearing he will get off on the murder charge

It’s frustrating because to laypeople it might look like he’s being harassed but to people who have been in court regularly, it’s super obvious that he’s ducking and dodging. This is 100000% not an appropriate way to answer questions on the stand. It’s shameful. But if you don’t know much about court proceedings you wouldn’t necessarily see that as a factor, ya know?
