Most kids wouldn’t leave if they had rich parents - there’s a beach house, boats, thousands of acres to hunt & fish, ATVs, shooting guns, cookouts, tons of booze…no the kids don’t want to leave. They were expected to take over the family business or “marry well.”

Wtf is Wofford? Is it a decent school?

All those kids went to USC, Clemson, Wofford, etc. None wanna leave SC.

That doesn’t make any sense. The kennel video has Paul talking to Cash and Alex and Maggie talking in the background. If you can hear the two of them, they can hear Paul. So Alex wouldn’t have been surprised to know that Paul was there.

I think he and Maggie had a fight. She said something that made him flip and he went after her. Paul saw it, got in the middle and Alex shot him, before shooting her.

No it was preplanned. She was divorcing him. This was all about money. Paul was costing him money with the boat law suit, Maggie was going to take half.

Buster was an asset (graduated law school), Paul and Maggie were liabilities.

Buster did not graduate law school.

Paul was attending USC at the time of the crash and after.

Buster attended Wofford and graduated. Then went to USC Law for a year when he was kicked out for plagiarism. Alex paid someone named "Butch" $60k to try to get him back in but it failed. This last bit of info came from the jailhouse tapes.

Buster transferred and still graduated

^^Sorry, I meant the oldest, surviving son.

Paul had recently been suspended or expelled from U. of South Carolina law school for cheating. Doubt that he will be readmitted now.

I don't know about college for any of them, but having grown up near the water, I don't know any experienced, responsible boaters who think it's okay to be out on a boat drinking at 2:30 a.m.

They explicitly took the boat because Paul already knew there would be DUI checkpoints on the roads that night. The entire intention was for the group to drink & Drive the boat.

Both Mallory Beach and Paul Murdaugh went to the University of South Carolina. It seems that they were home for the weekend from college, which I’m guessing is pretty typical given that SC is such a small state. Plus rich kids can go and party on their parents’ properties and boats for the weekend, eat a home cooked meal, etc. All of them had their own cars. Their hometowns were less than two hours from the university.

Other than Paul, what would make you think they didn't go to college? I've read that Mallory Beach was attending college at the time of her death.

One of the young women would be describing some bizarre cocked-up scenario and then just happen to drop in “Paul was so drunk he was being Timmy then, so we tried to stop him from driving but he refused and we figured eff it, we’ll get in the car too.”

Did any of these people have independent thoughts?

That struck me too. Are teenagers just prone to making bad decisions like this?

Yep. Reminds me to tell my kids, if you EVER have doubts about riding with someone, I will pay for any uber, I will come pick yuu up in freaking Ohio or Michigan or whatever, do not let a drunk drive you!

+1 AND don't get drunk, period. Don't be out alone drunk. Too dangerous. Bad characters with no conscience will take advantage of you.

As a divorced wife, I understand a lot of divorcing wives get murdered.
But his own son? His son who he moved heaven and earth to protect?
I do think he's guilty and it's unbelievable.
