🧵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

🧵 This is interesting, because recall the testimony from the defense witness that the bodies should NOT have been covered up to preserve evidence? Well, they were told and apparently someone didn't listen and covered them up with sheets anyways. #Murdaugh #murdaughtrial #Alex

Note how Alex says two of the tracks were his (leaving in the truck and coming back) and the rest were from earlier. This is a slip up. Also note this officer tried to preserve the scene and a lot of people dropped the ball. #Murdaugh #MurdaughFamily

🧵 As they were working the scene a call came in for a suspicious vehicle about 47 minutes away. It's been over 47 minutes since the murder. Not saying it's connected, but I would like to hear more about it. #Murdaugh #murdaughtrial #Alex (this is on the video)

🧵 Alex says he tried to do something with Paul's phone then stops. What do you think he was trying to do? #Murdaugh #MurdaughFamily

🧵Alex throws a worker of his out there, CB Rowe, as a possibly suspect by trying to not make him a suspect. CB accidently killed the sunflowers and told outlandish stories, so the perfect guy to set up as a possible target. #Murdaugh #MurdaughFamily

🧵 Alex says he wasn't lying because he WAS at the house and Maggie was at the kennels. He likes "lying by omission" defense BUT we know he was lying BEFORE this. Remember the tracks & him telling LE only two were his when they first arrived? Lying about lying #MurdaughTrial

🧵 Alex claims in the interview shortly after the murders that all his partners, brothers, some law enforcement on scene told him to get an attorney. A seasoned, successful attorney testifies he needed that advice to get an attorney and felt paranoid so he lied. #MurdaughTrial

🧵 Alex keeps playing with loopholes. If you don't ask the question specifically, he will dance around it and in a way it appears to be truth, when it's really just answering it the way you asked it knowing exactly what you're looking for. #Murdaugh

🧵This is where Alex outright lies. Watch his body, listen to his speech. Compare it to his testimony. Saying no one was in that house when he left is probably the only thing he said that was true in this clip. Maggie and Paul were already dead. #Murdaugh #MurdaughTrial

🧵 While the state sets up the video of the night Maggie and Paul were killed, Alex is turned towards the jury and makes some sounds as though he wants the jury to see him vulnerable and in pain. Then.. Mr. Waters throws it down and I wish I had been in that room #Murdaugh

🧵Defense forensic pathologist testifying about the condition of Paul's brain, and Alex seems to be a bit unhinged. Show for the jury? He seems to snap out of it. Keep in mind the screens are covered so he isn't looking a the photos #Murdaugh #MurdaughTrial

🧵 Alex is turned towards the jury and makes some sounds. He wants the jury to see him vulnerable, in pain and grieving . That look he gives Waters after being caught lying about lying.. #murdaugh #MurdaughTrial #Netflix

🧵This is an excellent example of how Alex needs a direct, all loopholes closed, question. On stand Alex says he always wanted maggie to come home, so she came home. Interview and her texts suggest he asked her to pointedly that day #Murdaugh #murdaughTrial #netflix

🧵 Alex testified that he KNEW Maggie had planned on coming home because she didn't have her dogs. That's not what it sounds like here. In true Alex style he talks through loopholes. "I wasn't surprised because she told me she was coming home" Yeah, after you asked her? #Murdaugh
