I haven't I think once mentioned it here, but I've been watching the Murdaugh family rolling nightmare for awhile as though I don't know them - I know their social class/culture because, it is mine. I "know" them.

The Netflix docu, BTW, is incredibly good.

...doing some work in the orchard this AM it came to mind something missing in this story. Well established, powerful families in the South, as everywhere, are deeply political. They run the political machines in their area - especially when they are politicians themselves.

...Besides mentioning the offices the family held and the influence they had in the courts in law enforcement, no mention of politics - and I cannot recall any mention of party politics either.

I started to think, "No, couldn't be. This isn't intentional ... it can't be what

The Coroner who reviewed the reports by the defense (a Georgia Coroner for Atlanta) is shredding the conclusions about by the prosecution.

"SIGNIFICANT"

Forensic Pathologist Jonathan Eisenstat MD is giving a completely different account of how Paul & Maggie died.

Now we know WHY SC state prosecutors led by Creighton Waters objected to the original coroners reports coming in.

🧵I stopped the trial to go back and watch Alex the night of the murders and it's bothering me. Bottom left, is Paul's body. Then Alex crosses to the right and walks right past Maggie's body calmly. Then stands back in the dark. #MurdaughTrial #Murdaugh
🧵 Then Alex says he can tell the officer the exact time he left, and offers to show the officer his phone. What did he mean? What was he going to show on his phone to show where he was? Was this a slip and a quick divert? #MurdaughTrial
🧵 Then Alex starts the lies. Says he was with Paul (note he does not say Paul Paul like he is now) for 2 hours. Says he was gone for an hour and a half for his moms (20 minutes he was there) Says he saw them 45 minutes before that. #Murdaugh #MurdaughTrial

🚨🚨🚨Alex Murdaugh Double Murder Trial Day 23 (Feb. 23) Megathread begins now 🚨🚨🚨

I’ve confirmed this morning Alex Murdaugh WILL take the stand and testify today, barring some last-minute change. This will be big.

#AlexMurdaugh #AlexMurdaughTrial #MurdaughTrial #Murdaugh
The decision comes after Murdaugh defense team was said to be at the local jail late last night meeting with AM.

This was not a done deal until late last night or this morning. Even now, I’m told AM could (and might) change his mind right up until the minute he takes the stand.
Our Megathread from yesterday, for those catching up

Finally getting in bed to watch #MurdaughMurders. #MurdaughNetflix
"Y'all know Alex Murdaugh? That's his son. Good luck." That quote has stuck out to me since the very first time I heard it on the podcast. #MurdaughMurders #MurdaughNetflix
Then once I saw one of the other docs and saw Paul smiling after the boat crash ... while everyone else was worried & looking for #MalloryBeach, it was even more clear to me just how powerful this family really was. #MurdaughMurders #MurdaughNetflix

🚨🚨🚨Alex Murdaugh Double Murder Trial Day 12 (Feb. 7) Megathread begins now 🚨🚨🚨

The state will continue presenting its case today. As ever, I’ll provide updates here throughout the day.

Our story recapping yesterday:

The state was handed a major boost when Judge Newman agreed to open the floodgates on Murdaugh’s alleged financial crimes.

Plus, confusion about a blue raincoat postandcourier.com/murdaugh-updat…
There will be some debate today on Murdaugh’s mother’s caregiver, Shelley Smith, and the confusing, sometimes contradictory testimony she gave yesterday. I listened to it a second time last night.

She was clearly upset and seems to love the Murdaughs, including Alex.
