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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
