#NBCNews #AlexMurdaugh #Trial
Any thoughts about the judge and how he did? I’m curious…
Idk, I guess I’d have to watch more about this. But all the evidence seems circumstantial. He probably did do it, why else would you do what he did? But, honestly; I don’t think it clears reasonable doubt. Can anyone help me get to that point?
The son probably did it. He’s taking the fall.
He will receive an appeal and walk away like nothing ever happened.
This dude sucks on a historic level
And Americans won today! Guilty, we need more guilty! No more crime people! Who kills their family? Awful!
American greed brought me here
Watching the son, it didnt seem that he was too upset at losing his whole family!🤔
He did it..the dad is taking the blame for him
@Tim Martinez
You think? Might be possible. It also explains why he wasn’t offed himself
Alex Murdaugh is a broken man, he needs help, psychologically he has been mentally unstable for years, so sad. How can a person like Alex Maudaugh not appreciates the blessings and goodness that he was given?
White ppl are dying… Or they sleep with siblings to keep whites alive
Finally
Evil man!
from being above the law..to prison..thats nuts
Breaking news?
Knew this dude was guilty the first 30mins of the trial.
Gill 🍵
Money didn’t help get Murdaugh off a guilty verdict. Trump next.
FINALLY!!!…should’ve justplead guilty…just a waste of tax payer dollars and time…psychopathic sinister kook…just awful
Look how shakey he gets. He won’t last lol
Free #Alex #
A bit pyrrhic, if anything.
Chapter 10:
Ginger Goes to Jail
Justice
He’s never getting out
I don’t feel sorry for any of the Murdaughs. Horrible family. I hope all of them live a horrible life. This is just the beginning of justice being served. More deaths surrounding this family needs to be investigated.
Every guilty have some knowledge angle of suspect.
I give him less than a year in jail before he commits suicide..
RIP BOZO
The verdict was quick..but the reading of the verdict takes forever.
Where are the crocodile tears now? This guy was guilty from day one! Justice has definitely been served!
Is there evidence?
Garbage person I’m glad Justice was prevailed
What a relief he has been found guilty on all the counts. I hope he will be sentenced to life in prison. He still has at least 100 other charges against him, too.
C’mon! On circumstantial evidence with no motive?!? Even if he did do it, the state didn’t prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. What a fkn travesty of justice…
What happened to just We the jury find the defendant guilty. All those numbers, dash blah blah blah seem like a type of torture for the defendant.
Hey can I please have some of that money or property? Please 🙏 thanks!
Isn’t that family connected to that boating incident a while back? where a young lady lost her life
Yes, the other son he killed, Paul, was 3 times over the limit drunk and crashed their boat. The man you see on trial is his father who helped cover up the whole thing
@Royal Commoner thanks 👍
Victim of his own stupidity😂😂
I still don’t think he did it
Cant believe I’m here because of Netflix
He should never see freedom again.He thought he was invincible 🤮
Biggest day of this man Life.
FINALLLY. They were probably gonna come clean about the murder and the boat thing and the maid and he killed them
When your last name is something as cool and edgy as “Murdaugh” you aren’t actually supposed to become one… bro was probably confused his whole life about his destiny..
He got found guilty quicker than pizza delivery.
Promoted by pure greed! He’s narcissistic, egregious , an unchecked ego. Just pure evil! He thought he had the perfect plan to get him out of debt and to erase the family name that he was so ashamed of his son smearing. Their family belittled a lot of people. As they say “stepped on a lot of toes”. The family name has gotten them out of so many things that he thought he’d give it another try. Well he was wrong. Justice has been rendered and served!
wow didnt see that verdict coming! 🥱
So he got life or how many years i didnt get the sentence beside that he is guilty
Thief, Liar and now Murderer!
Now can they look into the death of Stephen Smith
Wish I could watch him 1st day in the Gen Pop Cafeteria and Showers
…🐖 don’t drop the soap..🩲🚿🚽🪠🔥
How awful for his remaining son.
Many think he did it and dad took the blame
@Balletified That’s a thought 💭
keep these crazy murderers in jail
I feel bad for that kid , buster will go on to do great things .
Ahm. No
@Balletified what do u mean ?
@Balletified what does the kid have to do with the dad murdering his family . U don’t have sympathy for the kid who’s whole family got murdered ?
Woowooooooo 🎉🎊🎈
Murdarah
Whats the full story?
Go straight to jail, and do not collect $200.
Rich people…….
JUSTICE!
No more fake tears, Alex ??
The remaining son is educated he is a grown up man, he must try his best to do better of his life ahead. The son must accept early on that his life will be difficult and some people may treat him harshly but he must try to succeed.
GREED, GREED. HE DESERVES TO BE FOUND GUILTY.
The whole time his eyes looked like he was playing chess, looking for the best moves to escape his situation or get the least consequences possible
Self destruction!
When one gives heed to seducing spirits, that’s the kind of outcome.
There was clowns saying he would get off lmaoo another onee
This family had all kinds of warning signs of impending doom-they let their “boys” run wild, underage drinking, hitting girlfriends, spending money on lavish trips, lying. And how about the law firm- why wasn’t some partner asking questions about his practices?? Wasn’t anyone watching the illegal activities of Alec?? SC Bar should be checking into this firm. This family has no morals or scruples and more will be uncovered still. Older son covering for father, his role in 2015 murder of Stephen??? This whole town the foxes investigating the disappearance of the chickins from the henhouse. Ridiculous law enforcement and cronyism in this town.
I can’t be the only one that finds it ironic that their surname is so close to sounding like the word murder
No longer Above the Law. Justice has been served!
I’m gonna need a JCS of this.
Great
Docket to steal his estate. The state will obscond with his estate. You don’t know what this is.
Even though the guy should be in prison for 30+ years for his financial crimes, IMO the state did not make the case to prove he did it. The state lied to the grand jury about a “blood spattered shirt” and the investigators botched every move. The first responses did not secure the scene and preserve unknown tire tracks, did not preserve the hair that was in Maggie’s hand (which it just disappeared between the crime scene and the coroner) did not secure Maggie’s phone when it was found with the help of Alex (or how every you spell it), when they were finally in possession of the phone, they let crucial data get overwritten, the judge let the prosecutor violate Alex’s 5th and 6th amendment by questioning why he stopped talking after being read his rights (5th), then by the prosecution asking about what he told his lawyers to say in a press conference (6th) and three judge allowed it. Then the state tried to say that he cleaned off any blood residue from his clothes, but not the GSR canning him Mr clean and somehow was able to still have time to hide the weapons and create a false alibi in about 10 minutes? Then have witness after witness get their times wrong (like the lady who saw Alex with the blue jacket on a day he was on a mountain with family)? Not to mention the state not pushing to get onstar to give the information they have on the new suburban Alex bought with all his location information.
I could go on but if what I said isn’t reasonable doubt in your minds, then I don’t think there every will be because you had him guilty before the trail even started. I guess you watched the totally fictitious Netflix special that got everything wrong especially the bloody shirt that never existed.
I mean.. Murder is in the name 🤷🏾♂️
Greed killed his wife and son.
That whole family is shady & has been getting by with horrific things for decades.There’s probably more that will be coming out.
Will turn himself in after he gets his affairs together 🤣🤣
Bro’s name literally rhymes with murder
“ oh, he was such a good boy, all he did was drink milkshakes and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches “
Why didn’t they give this lady a training before making her read this in front of all these ppl. She’s terrified
I feel bad for Buster!! He has literally lost his entire family 💔
It’s not over until the families that he cheated out of their settlements have been made whole they need to liquidate his assets and settle those debts that he stole. On to justice for the housekeeper’s family, civil suit against the estate hopefully.
Look at this thug. Just disgusting. You people are trash. Good for him.
Was it worth it stupid
Drugs take everything
No emotion
Its always those yts😡
The same courthouse that tried Alex Murdaugh has yet to send Rita panganlagan who killed her disabled daughter in 2019? Where is her justice? They moved his up and spent tons of money to send him to jail yet she walks free?
Alex Murderer should be his actual name. Such a sick, vile, evil monster.
Who was he is he famous or something?
If only public hanging was still a thing.
What a piece or trash.
Buster looks stressed…must know that he’s next
He is now known as: ‘Murderous Murdaugh’
Oj got away
It call greed trump hilter israel saudi billionnaire etc
Electric chair
Oj got away wtf
Sad shame
Off with his head
well I am trying keeps getting deleted. have you heard of Mind Control? that is the weapon not the gun nor person carrying gun. People are being “chipped and it’s done by level of sound the victim is not aware of he or she is
well I have tried to load comment few times and doesn’t go up! Persons are being chipped by placing a chip in “root canal “and taught Morse CODE at a level of sound that victim is not allowed he or she is receiving These are victims of Mind Control. How do you think all these school shootings are happening? DO you remember Ok la Shooting few years back and person responsible for bombing told world he had “chip” placed up his buttock by military he was in Army and he was put to death it was on TV they have been taught Morse Code They are victims themselves
