He was not. That said, I don't think she was killed. I do think it was possible that she didn't get the medical care she needed and I do think Alex made up the dog story so he could sue himself for her death.

Why did he tell the police that Gloria told him personally that the dogs tripped her. His wife sounded like she didn't care at all in the 911 call.

I think Alex himself established on the stand last week that he’s a liar

So why are you assuming he did it? The prosecution has no direct evidence.

The fact that you are willing to condemn an entire family you never met based on a Netflix documentary and Mandy matney’s biased “reporting” doesn’t show very good critical thinking skills.

Alex is clearly a bad apple. But that doesn’t mean the whole family is awful. A lot of people in Hampton county, black and white, poor and rich, will tell you many other people in the family did a lot of good for the county and were good people.

Stop making assumptions based on a sensationalist documentary. And the people extrapolating this to the entire south are being ridiculous. Is everyone in Italy a horrible person because some people are in the mafia?

You sound delusional. Family guns were used. He used the alibi of not being at the property to go visit his mom, which was unusual, not to mention she has dementia and would definitely have been in bed that late at night. But then the video they found on Paul’s phone puts him at the scene minutes before they were killed. It was a large property where his wife was reportedly not living anymore. He had asked her to meet her there and she had told family/friends that she thought that was odd. So you think he invited her there, Paul was there (he also didn’t live there) and somehow someone unrelated to the family knew that and went there to kill them in the minutes Alex just so happen to go see his mom who was likely already in bed? And not only did they show up, but they showed up without guns and had to go find the family guns first and then kill them?

THIS. I'm not convinced a jury will convict him, but in my mind, there is no doubt about his guilt. I think there's a slight possibility he hired a hitman, but I don't see how anyone else could have committed these murders given the details of the case.

The mom’s caretaker of two years said that the mom was asleep when he came to “visit”. She found it odd that Alex called her to announce he was outside and to let him in. She also testified that he was Jittery. She claimed he was only there 20-30 minutes. Later after the murders, Alex told her that he would love to help her with her upcoming wedding, and also knew the principal at the school the caretaker was also working, a clear attempt to sway and influence her. He then said to her that when he was there visiting his mom, the time was more like 45 minutes or longer. This made the caretaker cry on the stand when she recounted this.

To the pp who doubts our critical thinking skills: the entire family is awful. From the mom and dad plying the teens with alcohol, to the “clean-up” of their sons crimes and clear attempts to make evidence disappear. There is now talk that Alex was a drug dealer evident from the amount of drugs he always had, the small plane and landing strip Paul jokingly said what it was for. If Alex consumed that many drugs per day, there is no way some of them were were not laced with fentanyl- he would have never survives it. When he lied to sled officer in the car and he asked him a question about killing his wife and son, Alex’s eyes become dark. His eyes physically changed. He is that evil of a person.

Interesting Paula and Maggie also found his pills.

Alex and son Buster both look very imbred, I can't get past how close together their eyes are. So weid. I knew kids like this in NC. Upper middle class/rich but "grandaddy" still has some land just outside county lines. Every weekend holding "field parties" bascially a kegger in the middle of now where. the kids though were super polite when sober or in front of other adults. Manners are serious business.
Even Morgan was still saying "Mr. Alex" when she referred to his bullshit and lack of parenting.

Does anyone really believe he is not guilty?

Agree with the OP that many Southern towns are like this. When I was in college I dated a white Southern boy from a Civil War-era family...they still had the family estate with slave cabins on it. He was a total entitled narcissist and a drunk. While he wasn't as violent as Paul Murdaugh was in this documentary, he DID slap me, belittle me, and cheat on me. He also boasted about his boating skills, like Paul in this documentary. I had very low self-esteem while in college...boy was he a lesson for me! So I felt very sorry for the girls who were interviewed, like Paul's ex-gf. I recognized her pain.

The amount of casual murder is just stunning though. The gay kid and the housekeeper?!!

Hope that Murdaugh patriarch gets put away for life.

+1

I also did my time dating boys like Paul Murdaugh. My fury was OFF THE CHARTS while watching this. Honestly, I'm very pleased d**khead Paul and his b***h mother got shot, likely by sickening Alec Murdaugh. Now THAT is some poetic justice. The family that scapegoated everyone to hide their own sins ends up self-destructing.

I was straight up raped, as a teenager, by a Tennessee scion. I know what these disgusting families are like. I curse the entire Murdaugh family. May they be forced to give back every cent they stole. May their entire lineage be destroyed, root and stem. And so it is, AMEN!!

They are comparing him to other notorious liars like Robert Durst, Casey Anthony Jodi Arias

I haven't finished the docu so not sure if this is covered but the 911 recording is very telling because it starts recording as soon as he dials, so before the 911 operator answers the phone, and he is totally silent with only dogs barking in the background. Then as soon as the call is answered he immediately starts his dramatic routine.

^ good find!

I just wanted to add that who are these good ol boys attorneys for Alec, they also represented Paul at his hearing, getting him off on bond and having his mug shot wearing a nice button-down. The older one playing up his dinasaur ways, is a lie and a grab at appealing to the jury.

I watched the Netflix documentary but somehow missed the part about Bubba the dog and the unnamed heroic chicken. I'm being 100% serious when I say I need to better understand this aspect!! Which episode were they in? Or does a kind person want to fill me in? FWIW, I think Alec and Buster and the whole family are abhorrent. I've spent some time in and around Beaufort SC (my in-laws life in Bluffton) and watching the doc gave me chills.

It has come out in the trial. In short, Just before the murder Paw Paw was taking a video of Ro Ro's dog Cash for Ro Ro and in the background you can hear Mags and Elick wrangling with Bubba who had gotten a chicken in his mouth. Paw Paw sent the video to Ro Ro which has been used as proof that Elick lied about being down at the kennels and as evidence that he is the likely murderer. I believe the heroic chicken did not survive. I believe Bubba is living with Mags' sister. I am unsure of the sister's nickname.

Was this established? Or was it determined that the guns used were the same type of guns they had? Were the murder weapons located? And definitely found to have caused the murder? Not disagreeing, just wondering.
