don' t agree he showed his seething anger!

Susan, you're kidding right? You realize he was getting angry specifically at the defense for trying to lead him into nonexistant rants.

@@susanchurchwell3768 your sooo wrong & off base. Lawyer was trying to use him n trap him for Alex’s benefit & he spoke up about it……as he should !!

@@dragonzodiac78 your opinion. Mine differs and that's ok. Exactly why the jury has to be unanimous !

@@susanchurchwell3768 you are entitled to this opinion but a lot of innocent people behave this exact way when they are accused of things they didn’t do. He didn’t deny the anger instead he agreed he raised his voice and then explained why. He’s had a year or more to work on his anger with Alex, and like he said he had to work really hard to get past the being angry stage. At this point Alex means nothing in comparison to the truth of what happened to Paul and Maggie. Do you think the witness cared more about being angry with Alex truly, or telling the truth to get down to what happened to Paul and Maggie? (Paul being someone he really cared about himself). Im sure best case scenario in the witnesses mind is just that he’s a terrible thief and untrustworthy person, Vs. Him murdering his wife and kid for any reason. I don’t think he wants to condemn Alex for something he didn’t do, but wants to be honest about what he knows he did do as to not be affiliated with Alexs character.

EXACTLY 💯💯

Also he's a lawyer

The prosecutor tried putting words in Alex Murdaughs' mouth as well!

@@saraburns7340 This witness (an experienced lawyer) was not going to fall for any leading questions, he recognized them (of course) and answered them as he pleased (to the defense lawyer: You do not want me to go there ... I was with Alex in the week after the murder. I have seen things that were not even touched in this court room. Bam !). But the prosecutors questions did not insult his professional integrity. He could have simply asked him: You rightfully must feel angry towards AM, it would be only human if that would influence your testimony a little bit. Can you 100 % assure us this is not the case. And he would answer with a resounding NO, my emotions towards AM do not alter the way I testify here. And he is right, he said nothing that could be seen as being biased. I do not even know why the defense lawyer would go there. AM was a "theatrical" lawyer, and they discussed hog hunting and gun and hunting preferences. Nothing controversial in my mind - even if the witness would have been eaten up by anger. Even IF this witness wanted to shade the testimony, does this twat of defense lawyer really think he could hinder - or that he could bait him into showing too much anger. The defense lawyer did his client no favor with that stunt.

💯

Sleazy defense lawyer got more than he asked for.

You guys are assuming that he is being honest - haven’t y’all learned anything about southern good ole boy lawyers???? I wonder why the firm did not know about the theft for decades Do not trust southern good ole boys

That's rare because attorneys are not usually honest. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

@@Hartleymolly I know it's rare, that's why people have such a low opinion of attorneys in general. Most have earned the terrible reputation they have.

If he’s that honest, then he must be cooperating with LE about all the deals he had going with Alex outside of the law firm. These partners are angry. Paul’s friends are angry. It’s easier to be honest when you’re angry with someone. Last night I rewatched the testimony of Paul’s friend , who was on the phone with Paul minutes before the murders. He’s SO angry, but so composed . His body language said it all. He figured it all out the day after when he heard Alex was telling a story that didn’t include being at the kennels. These people have all known Alex for decades . They know him and they are mad 😡

He is a good honest man, that is something Harpootlian couldn't understand !!

I do live here in Greenville SC and I will remember this gentleman’s name!

Crosby and Tinsley are both passionate about their business and clients. I would take either one or have them working together ❤️

And he stole money from a man that was paralyzed and unable to use either his arms or his legs. Truly despicable.

Then stole more from his widow

Alex murdaugh is an absolute monster. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Defending a liar but not defending a murderer. I’ll admit -I started watching this trial in the first week having already decided herwas guilty bc of the stereotype “it’s always the spouse”. But, the state changed my mind by defending a sloppy, negligent investigation by SLED and by trying to distract the jury into focusing on AM’s overwhelming financial fraud. It’s a murder trial. But the state chose to focus on money bc they have no convincing evidence of murder.

Honest man.

Like him or not dick harpooliton is just doing his job,but I definitely think dick forgot he was talking to a lawyer 🥲

What else can he do? He would rather be somewhere else. It has to be difficult to show up every day to defend someone you feel are guilty he doesn't want to be there so he takes it out on everyone else

@@zenithrepublic1081you absolutely do not know that he “isn’t a murderer!” 😂 The same as nobody knows with 100% certainty that he is. None of us were there.

😢😔

I found that so upsetting to hear. 🥺 I guess if he’s found guilty, then he’s done worse. Murdering your own family is the unthinkable. He’s a horrible man, so used to deceiving people, he will fit in fine in prison for the rest of his life

With friends like him, who need enemy.

There is probably no telling how many times Alec stole money from “deceased” clients estates…some of whom had considered Alec a dear friend.

@@bamadad53 : I hate to think that way but God don’t like ugly and AM’s paying the price for it now. Wonder if Buster’s responsible for his past friends, Stevens death(?) Any thoughts on that?

Ole Poot needs to retire! I am glad Judge Newman let Mr. Crosby speak!

I disagree. He made a lot of self serving comments. Sneaking into the kennel under quise of wanting to clean up the crime scene, walking around the back of those out structures, going to investigate pauls car at the shop for what purpose? Not mentioning to the police where pauls truck was and had a loaded handgun on the seat.

​@pat gal thank you for this comment!! I felt he was even lawyerly as in slyly answering the questions to lean towards the prosecutor's side. I mean that's probably the number one reason they called him up there. And I also find him to be arrogant! Get his face fried acting like that around me

​@@patgal2359 considering his relationship with the family I don't find those actions strange or self-serving. He was probably trying to piece together a few things that weren't checking out based on what AM had told him the night of June 7. Honestly, had I been in his shoes, I would have done the same.

💯

How about believing in innocent until proven guilty...otherwise known as due process!

@@saraburns7340 You misunderstand the concept of innocent until proven guilty, my friend. It doesn't require any individual to believe he's innocent. The concept of "innocent until proven guilty" means that legally his status is that of a free/innocent man because he hasn't yet been proven guilty by a court of law of the crime until he has stood the process of trial. The jurors are required to listen to evidence before voting, of course. What you're suggesting would be mind control by the government of all people.

Just because Ronnie's indiscretion is not the same as Alex Murdaugh does not mean that he is without indiscretions. Easy to judge your neighbor but better sweep off your own steps

Missed that. What are Mr Crosby's indiscretions?

​@@saraburns7340 real shit💯

This is nonsense. Harpootlian became animated in order to elicit a reaction from the witness- which he was fairly successful with doing (especially had the witness not been a professional lawyer)

Incorrect. Harpootlian is a criminal defense attorney. It is his job to vigorously defend his client with everything he has. If I screwed up, I’d want a man like Poot on my side. Like his presentation or not, he does his job extremely well. It’s professional - not personal.

No reaction or tears from AM either. Man has no soul

Mr. Crosby showed extremely good character. I admired him the first testimony and I feel he stood his ground with Harpoot today. God bless Mr . Crosby.

Most people in prison have far more character than Alex Murdaugh.

Yes, he does have a tremendous amount of character. I mean when he stated that had he known that Alex had the drug problem that he would have tried to help him, so for him to say that in spite of everything that Alex had done was outstanding and proved what a real man is about!

It appears Alex stole from every employee at that firm because everyone's salary was based on how much was brought in collectively by every attorney. Alex took a larger cut for himself for years.

@@peacenow42 he’s angry. Of course he is. I think he probably doesn’t want to show that too much while he’s testifying. A jury could easily read his anger and think that maybe he’s lying in order to get revenge for all the theft. He’s a lawyer, he knows how this stuff works.

Ya…. Right 😒

Don’t forget - he’s a personal injury lawyer (aka - ambulance chaser). He deserves to be repaid the money stolen from him, but he’s still a personal injury lawyer, so there’s that.😊

You've clearly never witnessed a murder trial. Unfortunately they have to ask really difficult incriminating questions that make people uncomfortable so we can get to the bottom of the truth and prosecute the murderer, the criminal, the whole reason why they're in the courtroom. People who have survived Psychopaths, or even survive murder, we know these hard questions will be asked so we can get to the bottom of things. Whether you like it or not, whether you think this person is out of line, clearly shows that you know nothing of the legal system when it comes to try to prosecute a guilty person for killing their entire family. Pardon the prosecuting party for making the witness feel uncomfortable. Absolutely unbelievable that you think a prosecutor should make people feel comfortable on the witness stand.

​@@theforensicbadass This is the DEFENSE ATTORNEY who is cross-examining the witness, not the Prosecutor

Forgive him he's a doddery old schemer. Mr Crosby handled him well and maintained the highground (I expect its his hawg hunting experience)

The defense was trying to attack the credibility of the witness by intentionally getting him upset. If he could convince the jury that the witness was trying to get back at Alex for stealing money, then the witness’s damning testimony would be discounted in their eyes. That’s typical.

He’s doing his job. Your just biased because you hate Alex and think he’s guilty like the rest of us. The defense attorney was actually the DA of the state for like 7 years while he was a prosecutor. You know nothing about a court room so stfu

I mean, that’s what defense attorneys have to do, try to discredit the prosecutor’s witnesses, and vice versa.

@@gxvq totally agree. I guess it's confusing watching different trials. What was allowed here is not allowed in other courtrooms. They were given lots of leeway.

I don't trust Ronnie Crosby, atleast show some anger towards his so called freind Murdaugh.

@@gambrydew2059 I think it’s obvious that he is angry. But he’s a lawyer. He doesn’t want his own emotions to hurt the case. If a jury saw him being acting really angry, they might think he’s lying.

​@@gambrydew2059 ???? Weird take. BOT

@@gambrydew2059 the defense lawyer was implying Crosby is there because he is angry and his testimony is skewed because of his anger. I think Crosby was saying that he was angry but he’s moved on from his anger in a way that he doesn’t want to seek revenge or punish AM himself.

Where was ya hero ? When Elian Gonzalez needed him the most. Poor little Elian out there on a boat, drifting aimlessly. No water , food or Nintendo and Crosby didn’t do a damn thing. He was probably on Epstein Island with the Murdaughs.

He seems to forget the crucial need by a Defence Lawyer to ingratiate yourself with the Jury! If I was on that panel, I would roll my eyes every time he got up to speak!

​@@hellynnwheels6819 Poot does his so called job in a most dirty way, he is like his client.

A honest lawyer....

I agree however this is a very high profile case and since day one I knew the fighting wouldn’t be fair but rather dirty. The night of the murders there were responding officers who purposefully tried contaminating the crime scene. There were quite a handful of officers and other responding officials who trampled all over the crime scene, tampering, even standing over Maggie’s body just having a casual convo. They tampered so much I believe a lieutenant or Sargent even commented about it that night (I believe.) So, we knew that people fighting for Alex were absolutely fighting and will continue to fight extremely dirty and messy. I mean, I don’t like AM defense attorney however, he’s doing his job defending his client, and attempted/attempting to try and cast doubt, make holes, and again, unfairly fight. It’s so weird to watch an honest attorney vs. a grimey, sleazy one.

Harpoony was PM’s attorney , too.

@TMG I agree, reasonable doubt. I think the jury is going to disappoint a few people. But there's nothing to come back with a guilty verdict. No blood on him, no gun. No motive.

I cannot stand AM lawyer he’s a jerk willingly defending what he knows is a lie the way he gets so angry makes me wonder if they already knew each other before he hired him to represent him
