Diabolical monster

What was the testimony about him getting Paul there, and where was Paul that day prior to being at Moselle? I kept hearing how he asked Maggie to come to Moselle, but I guess I wasn't listening at the right time for the testimony about Paul.

I’m reading that Paul was in Beaufort County

I actually think the prosecution did do a good job, particularly Mr. Waters. The problem is a lack of forensic evidence directly linking him to the crime and the guilty beyond a reasonable doubt standard. This is not the prosecutors' fault. I honestly don't know what the jury will do.

Regarding whether he should have testified or not -- While this typically is not a good idea, my guess is that he thought he had to testify to try and explain away the last-minute kennel video that placed him at the scene of the murders just minutes before the murders. Otherwise, all they jury would hear is that he had lied about being at the scene and that the video that surfaced placed him directly there. I think he thought that he had to try and put some context around this. Not sure if it did him any good or not. I don't know if his attorneys would have even advised him not to testify in this situation. The defense hasn't really given any possibility of who else would have reasonably done the crime -- just that people were upset at Paul bc of the boating accident.

The murder weapons were not recovered, correct? That is another issue to overcome.

Shell casings at the scene match shells that were fired one the family land at their hunting lodge/natural "gun range" (that's a southern thing as well...many people with land have a place where they go target shooting).

They believe Maggie was shot by one of two .300 Blackout rifles owned by the Murdaughs that are now missing.

Paul was shot with a shotgun. Alex was holding a shotgun when police arrived. Paul could have been shot with that gun, but evidence wasn't conclusive.

Wouldn’t it be ironic that the smoking gun and downfall of this murderer will be thanks to his Gen-z son and his ever present phone use and social media, capturing his father’s voice on a Snapchat video, minutes before his diabolical father executes him and his mother. Paul’s video blows up Alex Murdaugh’s alibi.

Do you really think Colleton County chooses from the best and the brightest for any employees?

This was a state trial. The prosecutor is the Attorney General of SC. Creighton Waters was the lead. I think he did amazing today.

Yeah. Paul and Bubba and the Chicken. All 3 busted Alex. It is truly something from a movie.

The State has not met their burden and had many holes poked in their evidence/expert testimony by the Defense team for reasonable doubt. They are unable to pin the forensic murders on him; a liar and drug addict yes - but a murderer?

This is fascinating and horrible at the same time, the trial is wrapping up.

There won't be an acquittal. No way. There may be a hung jury though.
